PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.  Financial Statements

The accompanying information has not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm; however, in the opinion of management such information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period.  All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.  Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc.’s (“Premier’s”) accounting and reporting policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Certain accounting principles used by Premier involve a significant amount of judgment about future events and require the use of estimates in their application.  The following policies are particularly sensitive in terms of judgments and the extent to which estimates are used: allowance for loan losses, the identification and evaluation of impaired loans, and the impairment of goodwill.  These estimates are based on assumptions that may involve significant uncertainty at the time of their use.  However, the policies, the estimates and the estimation process as well as the resulting disclosures are periodically reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and material estimates are subject to review as part of the external audit by the independent registered public accounting firm.

The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or those normally made in the registrant’s annual report on Form 10-K.  Accordingly, the reader of the Form 10-Q may wish to refer to the registrant’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for further information in this regard.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires organizations that are lessees to recognize a lease liability, which is the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified property for the lease term.  The new guidance also requires lessees to disclose key information about leasing requirements for leases that were historically classified as operating leases under previous generally accepted accounting principles. This ASU became effective for Premier for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.  The Company leases some of its branch locations.  The Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019.  The Company applied a modified retrospective transition approach for the applicable leases. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. The Company has also elected to use the practical expedient to make an accounting policy election for property leases to include both lease and non-lease components as a single component and account for it as a lease.  Upon adoption of this standard, the Company recorded a $7.6 million right of use asset, included in premises and equipment, determined by calculating an estimated present value of future lease payments over the extended lives of the Company’s leases.  The Company also recorded a $7.6 million finance lease liability, included in other liabilities.

NOTE  1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION - continued

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.  This ASU replaces the measurement for credit losses from a probable incurred estimate with an expected future loss estimate, which is referred to as the “current expected credit loss” or “CECL”.  The standard pertains to financial assets measured at amortized cost such as loans, debt securities classified as held-to-maturity, and certain other contracts, in which organizations will now use forward-looking information to enhance their credit loss estimates on these assets.  The largest impact will be on the allowance for loan and lease losses.  The company has formed a committee to oversee the steps required in the adoption of the new current expected credit loss method.  The committee has selected a third-party vendor to assist in data analysis and modeling as well as the required disclosures. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s financial statements.  Upon adoption, an initial cumulative increase in the allowance for loan losses is currently anticipated by management along with a corresponding decrease in capital as permitted by the standard.  However, due to the complexity of the calculation and evolving guidance on adoption management has not yet determined the one-time adjustment.  On July 17, 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) voted for a proposal to extend the implementation deadline for smaller reporting companies like Premier.  Still subject to a 30-day public comment period, the proposal would extend the implementation deadline for Premier for a period of three-years until January 1, 2023.  If the public’s comments are mostly favorable, the FASB will issue a final document on the decisions sometime in August or September 2019.  If the proposal is not extended the ASU will become effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019.

The investment portfolio is predominately high credit quality interest-bearing bonds with defined maturity dates backed by the U.S. Government or Government sponsored entities.  The unrealized losses at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are price changes resulting from changes in the interest rate environment and are considered to be temporary declines in the value of the securities.  Management does not intend to sell and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery.  Their fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date and/or market conditions improve.

Purchased Impaired 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

	2019		2018
Residential real estate	$	2,355	$	2,665
Commercial real estate

Non-owner occupied		3,062		3,434

Contractual principal balance	$	11,922	$	15,436
Carrying amount, net of allowance	$	8,339	$	11,296

For those purchased loans disclosed above, the Company did not increase the allowance for loan losses during the six-months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

For those purchased loans disclosed above, where the Company can reasonably estimate the cash flows expected to be collected on the loans, a portion of the purchase discount is 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 is being recognized as interest income over the remaining life of the loan.

Where the Company cannot reasonably estimate the cash flows expected to be collected on the loans, it 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.

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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.  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.

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 determination of an insignificant delay in payment is evaluated based on the facts and circumstances of the individual borrower(s).

The following table presents TDR’s as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

June 30, 2019	TDR’s on Non-accrual		Other TDR’s		Total TDR’s

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 by residential real estate, on a monthly basis.  For consumer loans, including consumer loans secured by residential real estate, and smaller balance non-homogeneous loans, the analysis involves monitoring the performing status of the loan.  At the time such loans become past due by 90 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.

NOTE  4 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND REGULATORY MATTERS

The Company’s principal source of funds for dividend payments to shareholders is dividends received from the subsidiary Banks.  Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies.  Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year’s net profits, as defined, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years, subject to the capital requirements and additional restrictions as discussed below.  During 2019 the Banks could, without prior approval, declare dividends to the Company of approximately $8.4 million plus any 2019 net profits retained to the date of the dividend declaration.

The Company and the subsidiary Banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Banks must meet specific guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.

These quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following tables).  The final rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. Banks (Basel III rules) became effective for the Company and Banks on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule by     January 1, 2019.  The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital.  Management believes, as of June 30, 2019, that the Company and the Banks meet all quantitative capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Shown below is a summary of regulatory capital ratios, exclusive of the capital conservation buffer, for the Company:

	June 30, 2019			December 31, 2018			Regulatory Minimum Requirements			To Be Considered Well Capitalized
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets)		14.8	%		14.2	%		4.5	%		6.5	%
Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets)		15.3	%		14.7	%		6.0	%		8.0	%
Total Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets)		16.4	%		15.9	%		8.0	%		10.0	%
Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets)		11.1	%		10.7	%		4.0	%		5.0	%

Beginning on January 1, 2016 an additional capital conservation buffer has been added to the minimum regulatory capital ratios under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  The capital conservation buffer is measured as a percentage of risk weighted assets and was phased-in over a four year period from 2016 thru 2019.  As of January 1, 2019, the capital conservation buffer is 2.50% of risk weighted assets over and above the regulatory minimum capital ratios for Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (CET1) to risk weighted assets, Tier 1 Capital to risk weighted assets, and Total Capital to risk weighted assets.  The consequences of not meeting the capital conservation buffer thresholds include restrictions on the payment of dividends, restrictions on the payment of discretionary bonuses, and restrictions on the repurchasing of common shares by the Company.  The capital ratios of the Affiliate Banks and the Company exceed the new minimum capital ratios plus the fully phased-in 2.50% capital buffer requiring a CET1 Capital to risk weighted assets ratio of at least 7.00%, a Tier 1 Capital to risk weighted assets ratio of at least 8.50%, and a Total Capital to risk weighted assets ratio of at least 10.50%.  The Company’s capital conservation buffer was 8.45% at June 30, 2019 and 7.88% at December 31, 2018, well in excess of the fully phased-in 2.50% required by January 1, 2019.

NOTE  8 - FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

When possible, the Company looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Company looks to observable market data for similar assets and liabilities. However, certain assets and liabilities are not traded in observable markets and the Company must use other valuation methods to develop a fair value.

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and due from banks, Federal funds sold, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and deposits that reprice frequently and fully.  Fair values of time deposits with other banks are based on current rates for similar time deposits using the remaining time to maturity.  It was not practicable to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock due to the restrictions placed on its transferability.  For deposits and variable rate deposits with infrequent repricing, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life.  Fair values for loans is measured at the exit price notion by using the discounted cash flow or collateral value but also incorporates additional factors such as using economic factors, credit risk, and market rates and conditions.  Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values.  Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is not material.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument measured on a recurring basis:

Investment Securities:  The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument measured on a non-recurring basis:

Impaired loans:  The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent collateral appraisals. Real estate appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and unique to each property and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.  Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports. Management periodically evaluates the appraised collateral values and will discount the collateral’s appraised value to account for a number of factors including but not limited to the cost of liquidating the collateral, the age of the appraisal, observable deterioration since the appraisal, management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, or other factors unique to the collateral.  To the extent an adjusted collateral value is lower than the carrying value of an impaired loan, a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses is assigned to the loan.

Other real estate owned (OREO):  The fair value of OREO is based on appraisals less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure.  Management may obtain additional updated appraisals depending on the length of time since foreclosure.  These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.  Management periodically evaluates the appraised values and will discount a property’s appraised value to account for a number of factors including but not limited to the cost of liquidating the collateral, the age of the appraisal, observable deterioration since the appraisal, or other factors unique to the property. To the extent an adjusted appraised value is lower than the carrying value of an OREO property, a direct charge to earnings is recorded as an OREO write-down.

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $9,114,000 at June 30, 2019 with a valuation allowance of $2,394,000 and a carrying amount of $10,177,000 at December 31, 2018 with a valuation allowance of $2,796,000.  The change resulted in a provision for loan losses of $226,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 2019, compared to a $520,000 provision for loan losses for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 and a $416,000 in provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to a $187,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The detail of impaired loans by loan class is contained in Note 3 above.

Other real estate owned measured at fair value less costs to sell had a net carrying amount of $11,988,000 which is made up of the outstanding balance of $12,945,000 net of a valuation allowance of $957,000 at June 30, 2019.  There were $131,000 of write downs during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $120,000 of write downs during the six months ended June 30, 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 there were $131,000 of additional write downs compared to $120,000 of additional write downs during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

At December 31, 2018, other real estate owned had a net carrying amount of $11,766,000, made up of the outstanding balance of $12,769,000, net of a valuation allowance of $1,003,000.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis

   of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Management's discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that are provided to assist in the understanding of anticipated future financial performance. However, such performance involves risks and uncertainties, and there are certain important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. These important factors include, but are not limited to, economic conditions (both generally and more specifically in the markets in which Premier operates), competition for Premier's customers from other providers of financial services, government legislation and regulation (which changes from time to time), changes in interest rates, Premier's ability to originate quality loans, collect delinquent loans and attract and retain deposits, the impact of Premier's growth or lack thereof, Premier's ability to control costs, and new accounting pronouncements, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Premier.  The words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “predict,” “continue” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

A.Results of Operations

A financial institution’s primary sources of revenue are generated by interest income on loans, investments and other earning assets, while its major expenses are produced by the funding of these assets with interest bearing liabilities.  Effective management of these sources and uses of funds is essential in attaining a financial institution’s optimal profitability while maintaining a minimum amount of interest rate risk and credit risk.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $12,035,000, or $0.82 per diluted share, compared to net income of $9,508,000, or $0.71 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2018.  The increase in net income in the first six months of 2019 is largely due to an increase in interest income, a decrease in the provision for loan losses, and an increase in non-interest income all of which more than offset increases in interest expense, non-interest expense and income taxes.  The comparative increases in interest income and expense as well as non-interest income and expense are, in large part, attributable to the operations of the First Bank of Charleston acquired on October 12, 2018, which are not included in the first six months of 2018 income statement results.  The increase in non-interest expense was also partially due an increase in OREO expense resulting from $1,080,000 of net gains on the sale of OREO properties in the first three months of 2018. OREO expenses and writedowns are traditionally included in Premier’s total non-interest expenses, so the net gains from these sales reduced non-interest expense in the first quarter of 2018. The annualized returns on average common shareholders’ equity and average assets were approximately 10.70% and 1.41% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 10.24% and 1.26% for the same period in 2018.

PREMIER FINANCIAL BANCORP, INC.

JUNE 30, 2019

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $5,859,000, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4,375,000, or $0.32 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The increase in income in the second quarter of 2019 is largely due to an increase in interest income on loans, an increase in interest income on investments, an increase in non-interest income, and a decrease in provision for loan losses, all of which more than offset increases in interest expense and non-interest expense.  The comparative increases in interest income and expense as well as non-interest income and expense is, in large part, attributable to the operations of the First Bank of Charleston, which are not included in the second quarter 2018 income statement results.  The annualized returns on average common shareholders’ equity and average assets were approximately 10.26% and 1.36% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 9.41% and 1.16% for the same period in 2018.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $33.490 million, an increase of $4,436,000, or 15.3%, from the $29.054 million of net interest income earned in the first six months of 2018.  Interest income in 2019 increased by $6,618,000, or 21.0%, largely due to a $4,798,000 increase in interest income on loans, a $1,675,000 increase in interest income on investments, and a $145,000 increase in interest income on interest-bearing bank balances and federal funds sold.  Interest income on loans in the first six months of 2018 (prior year) included approximately $702,000 of income recognized from deferred interest and discounts recognized on loans that paid off during the first six months of 2018 compared to $1,012,000 of interest income of this kind recognized during the first six months of 2019 (current year).  The loan payoffs in 2019 and 2018 included both non-accrual loans and performing loans that were once on non-accrual status.  Otherwise, interest income on loans increased by $4,488,000, or 16.6%, in the first six months of 2019, largely due to a higher average yield and a higher average balance of loans outstanding during 2019 when compared to the first six months of 2018.  Interest income on investment securities in the first six months of 2019 increased by $1,675,000, or 53.1%, largely due to higher average yields on a higher average balance of investments outstanding.  The higher average balance of investments is largely due to the investments from the First Bank of Charleston acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2019.  Interest income from interest-bearing bank balances and federal funds sold increased by $145,000, or 21.4%, largely due to an increase in the average yield earned on these balances in 2019 as a result of increases in the short-term interest rate policy of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors during 2018.

Partially offsetting the increase in interest income in the first six months of 2019 was a $2,182,000, or 87.4%, increase in interest expense, driven by an increase in interest expense on deposits.  Interest expense on deposits increased by $2,107,000, or 94.6% in the first half of 2019 due to increases in the average rate paid on certificates of deposit, savings deposits, and NOW and money market deposits during the first six months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, as well as increases in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits during the first six months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.  Average interest-bearing deposit balances increased by $107.0 million, or 11.3%, in the first six months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, largely due to the acquisition of the First Bank of Charleston in the fourth quarter of 2018.  The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased by 36 basis points from 0.47% during the first six months of 2018 to 0.83% during the first six months of 2019.  Increases in short-term rates have increased the competition for deposits and time deposits in particular. As a result, the average interest rate paid on time deposits increased by 70 basis points, driving the majority of the increase in interest expense on deposits in the first half of 2019 when compared to the first half 2018.  Adding to the interest expense increase in 2019 was $103,000 of interest expense on the remaining Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings of First Bank of Charleston assumed by Premier as part of the acquisition, while there was no such interest in the first six months of 2018.  Partially offsetting the increase in interest expense on FHLB borrowings, interest expense on other borrowings in the first half of 2019 decreased by $57,000, or 64.8%, largely due to a decrease in outstanding borrowings from scheduled and accelerated principal payments on the long-term borrowing at the parent company.   This borrowing was fully repaid during the first half of 2019.  Also adding to the overall increase in interest expense during 2019 was a $23,000, or 13.8%, increase in interest expense on Premier’s subordinated debt due to an increase in the variable rate interest rate paid in 2019.  The variable interest rate is indexed to the three month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which has increased over the past twelve months in conjunction with increases in the short-term interest rate policy by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.

PREMIER FINANCIAL BANCORP, INC.

JUNE 30, 2019

Premier’s net interest margin during the first six months of 2019 was 4.25% compared to 4.18% for the first six months of 2018.  A portion of the interest income on loans is the result of recognizing deferred interest income on loans that paid-off during the period.  Excluding this income, Premier’s net interest margin during the first six months of 2019 would have been 4.12% compared to 4.08% for the first six months of 2018.  As shown in the table below, Premier’s yield earned on federal funds sold and interest bearing bank balances increased to 2.50% in the first six months of 2019, from the 1.79% earned in the first six months of 2018.  The average yield earned on securities available for sale increased to 2.65% in the first six months of 2019, from the 2.22% earned during the first six months of 2018.  Similarly, the average yield earned on total loans outstanding increased to 5.68% in 2019 from the 5.39% earned during the first six months of 2018.  Earning asset yields have increased generally in response to increases in short-term interest rate policy as new loans have been made with higher interest rates and new investment purchases have been at higher market yields. Similar to the increase in earning asset yields, the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased by 36 basis points during the first six months of 2019.  As noted above, the average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits increased from 0.47% in the first six months to 2018 to 0.83% during the first six months of 2019, largely due to higher rates paid on certificates of deposit. The average rate paid on short-term borrowings and other borrowings increased slightly. Furthermore, the average rate paid on Premier’s variable rate subordinated debentures increased from 6.26% in the first six months of 2018 to 7.08% in the first six months of 2019 due to increases in short-term interest rate policy. These increases in average rates paid, plus the average interest rate on the FHLB borrowings assumed in the acquisition of First Bank of Charleston, resulted in an increase in the average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities to 0.87% in the first six months of 2019 compared to 0.52% in the first six months of 2018. The overall effect was a decrease Premier’s net interest spread by 4 basis points to 3.98%.  However, due to a greater increase in average interest-earning assets than the increase in average interest-bearing liabilities funded from non-interest-bearing sources, such as the $46.3 million, or 13.8%, increase in non-interest bearing deposits and the $17.4 million, or 9.4% increase in average stockholders’ equity, Premier’s net interest margin did not decrease but increased by 7 basis points to 4.25% in the first six months of 2019 when compared to the first six months of 2018.

JUNE 30, 2019

Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 totaled $16.655 million, up $2,236,000, or 15.5%, from the $14.419 million of net interest income earned in the second quarter of 2018.  Interest income in 2019 increased by $3,353,000, or 21.3%, largely due to a $2,543,000, or 18.6%, increase in interest income on loans.  Interest income on loans in the second quarter of 2019 included approximately $292,000 of income recognized from deferred interest and discounts recognized on loans that paid off during the quarter compared to only $169,000 of interest income of this kind recognized during the second quarter of 2018.  Otherwise, interest income on loans increased by $2,420,000, or 17.9%, in the second quarter of 2019, due in part to a higher average balance of loans outstanding during the quarter when compared to the second quarter of 2018 from the loans acquired via the purchase of The First Bank of Charleston late in 2018, as well as a higher average yield on the average total loans outstanding.  Interest income on investment securities in the second quarter of 2019 increased by $712,000, or 42.2%, largely due to higher average yields on a higher average balance of investments outstanding during the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to the investment portfolio added from the acquisition of The First Bank of Charleston in the fourth quarter of 2018.  Interest income from interest-bearing bank balances and federal funds sold increased by $98,000, or 25.8%, due to an increase in the average yield on these balances in 2019 resulting from increases in the short-term interest rate policy of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors during 2018, although on a lower average balance outstanding during the second quarter of 2019 when compared to the second quarter of 2018.

Partially offsetting the increase in interest income in the second quarter of 2019 was a $1,117,000, or 83.7%, increase in interest expense.  Interest expense on deposits increased by $1,088,000, or 90.9%, in the second quarter of 2019, due to increases in the average rate paid on certificates of deposit, savings deposits, and NOW and money market deposits during the quarter, when compared to the second quarter of 2018.  Adding to the increase in interest expense on deposits, average interest-bearing deposit balances were up $114.5 million, or 12.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2018, while the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased by 35 basis points in 2019 to 0.86% in the second quarter of 2019 from 0.51% in the second quarter of 2018.  Increases in short-term rates have increased competition for deposits and time deposits in particular. The related rates of interest paid on time deposits increased by 74 basis points, driving the overall increase in interest expense on deposits in the second quarter of 2019 when compared to the second quarter of 2018.  Adding to the interest expense increase in 2019 was $48,000 of interest expense on the remaining FHLB borrowings of First Bank of Charleston assumed by Premier as part of the acquisition, while there was no such interest in the second quarter of 2018.  Also adding to the overall increase in interest expense during the second quarter of 2019 was a $7,000, or 7.9%, increase in interest expense on Premier’s subordinated debt due to an increase in the average variable rate interest rate paid in 2019.  The variable interest rate is indexed to the short-term three-month LIBOR interest rate, which has increased over the past twelve months in conjunction with increases in short-term interest rate policy by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.  Partially offsetting the increase in interest expense on FHLB borrowings, interest expense on other borrowings by the parent company decreased by $31,000, or 75.6%, in the second quarter of 2019, largely due to a decrease in outstanding borrowings from scheduled and accelerated principal payments.  Premier fully repaid the borrowing prior to the end of June 2019.

JUNE 30, 2019

Premier’s net interest margin during the second quarter of 2019 was 4.16% compared to 4.08% for the same period in 2018.  A portion of the interest income on loans is the result of recognizing deferred interest income on loans that paid-off during the period.  Excluding this income, Premier’s net interest margin during the second quarter of 2019 would have been 4.09% compared to 4.03% for the same period in 2018.  As shown in the table above, Premier’s yield earned on federal funds sold and interest-bearing bank balances increased to 2.35% in the second quarter of 2019, from the 1.69% earned in the second quarter of 2018.  The average yield earned on securities available for sale increased to 2.62% in the second quarter of 2019, from the 2.28% earned in the second quarter of 2018.  Similarly, the average yield earned on total loans outstanding increased to 5.63% from the 5.33% average yield earned in the second quarter of 2018.  Earning asset yields have increased generally in response to increases in short-term interest rate policy as new loans have been made with higher interest rates and new investment purchases have been at higher market yields.  Similar to the increase in earning asset yields, the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased in the second quarter of 2019.  The average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits increased from 0.51% in the second quarter of 2018 to 0.86% during the second quarter of 2019, largely due to higher rates paid on certificates of deposit.  The average rate paid on short-term borrowings and other borrowings also increased although on lower combined average balance outstanding due to the repayment of other borrowings at the parent company.  Furthermore, the average rate paid on Premier’s variable rate subordinated debentures increased from 6.63% in the second quarter of 2018 to 7.11% in the second quarter of 2019 due to increases in short-term interest rate policy.  These increases in the average rates paid, plus the average interest rate on the FHLB borrowings assumed in the acquisition of First Bank of Charleston, resulted in an increase in the average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities to 0.90% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 0.55% in the second quarter of 2018.  The overall effect was a decrease to Premier’s net interest spread by 3 basis points to 3.88%.  However, due to a greater increase in average interest-earning assets than the increase in average interest-bearing liabilities funded from non-interest-bearing sources, such as the $43.8 million, or 12.7%, increase in non-interest bearing deposits and the $18.9 million, or 10.2% increase in average stockholders’ equity, Premier’s net interest margin did not decrease but increased by 8 basis points to 4.16% in the second quarter of 2019 when compared to the second quarter of 2018.

Non-interest income increased by $226,000, or 5.3%, to $4,523,000 for the first six months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018.  Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $56,000, or 2.6% and electronic banking income (income from debit/credit cards, ATM fees and internet banking charges) increased by $40,000, or 2.3%.  Service charges on deposit accounts increased largely due to an increase in customer overdraft activity, while electronic banking income increased primarily due to an increase in income from debit card transaction activity and non-customer ATM fees.  Other non-interest income increased by $186,000, or 59.0%, largely due to an increase in wire transfer fee revenue plus income from an insurance agency started in 2018 compared to proportional net start-up costs recorded through the first six months of 2018.  Partially offsetting these increases was secondary market mortgage income which decreased by $56,000, or 49.6%, in 2019 largely due a decrease in the level of home purchasing and refinancing activity in Premier’s markets.

Non-interest income increased by $116,000, or 5.2%, to $2,347,000 for the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same three months of 2018, largely due to a $56,000, or 5.3%, increase in revenue from service charges and fees on deposit accounts, a $35,000, or 3.9%, increase in electronic banking income, and a $94,000 increase in income from Premier’s partial ownership in an insurance agency, included in other non-interest income.  These increases were partially offset by a $48,000, or 59.3%, decrease in secondary market mortgage income.

Non-interest expenses for the first six months of 2019 totaled $21,634,000, or 2.55%, of average assets on an annualized basis, compared to $19,447,000, or 2.61%, of average assets for the same period of 2018.  The $2,187,000, or 11.2%, increase in non-interest expenses in 2019 when compared to the first six months of 2018 is due in part to the $1,080,000 of net gains on the sale of OREO during the first quarter of 2018 discussed above. Otherwise, non-interest expense increased by $1,107,000, or 5.4% in the first six months of 2019 compared to the first six months of 2018, largely due to the inclusion of the newly acquired First Bank of Charleston location. Increases in operating costs include an $805,000, or 8.2%, increase in staff costs, a $451,000, or 14.6%, increase in occupancy and equipment expenses, a $284,000, or 11.2%, increase in outside data processing costs, and a $65,000, or 16.9%, increase in the amortization of intangible assets.  The $451,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expenses included an $185,000 building impairment charge related to a branch location that is in the process of being liquidated.  These increases in non-interest expense were partially offset by $353,000, or 66.1%, decrease in collection related expenses incurred, a $242,000, or 33.7%, decrease in expenses and writedowns on OREO properties (after excluding the $1,080,000 of net gains on sales in 2018 discussed above), a $64,000, or 8.7% decrease in professional fees, and a $29,000, or 10.7%, decrease in FDIC insurance expense.

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2019 totaled $11,041,000, or 2.56%, of average assets on an annualized basis, compared to $10,458,000, or 2.77%, of average assets for the same period of 2018.  The $583,000, or 5.58%, increase in non-interest expenses in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018, is largely due to the operations of the acquired First Bank of Charleston location.  Increases in operating costs include a $384,000, or 7.6%, increase in staff costs, a $397,000, or 26.8%, increase in occupancy and equipment expense, a $149,000, or 11.7%, increase in outside data processing costs, a $49,000, or 23.1%, increase in taxes not on income and a $33,000, or 17.4%, increase in the amortization of intangible assets.  The $397,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expenses included an $185,000 building impairment charge related to a branch location that is in the process of being liquidated.  Otherwise, occupancy and equipment expense increased by $212,000, or 14.3%, in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018.  These increases were partially offset by a $93,000, or 23.3%, decrease in professional fees, a $122,000, or 70.1%, decrease in loan collection expenses, a $297,000, or 56.6%, decrease in OREO expenses, and a $5,000, or 4.0%, decrease in FDIC insurance premiums, when compared to the second quarter of 2018.

Income tax expense was $3,454,000 for the first six months of 2019 compared to $2,781,000 for the first six months of 2018.  The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 22.3% compared to 22.6% for the same period in 2018.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2019, income tax expense was $1,772,000, (a 23.2% effective tax rate), compared to $1,317,000, (a 23.1% effective tax rate), for the same period in 2018.

B.Financial Position

Total assets at June 30, 2019 increased by $14.0 million to $1.704 billion from the $1.690 billion at December 31, 2018.  The increase in total assets since year-end is largely due to a $14.3 million increase in federal funds sold and a $3.4 million increase in cash and due from banks, partially offset by a $5.0 million decrease in securities available for sale and a $3.1 million decrease in interest bearing bank balances.  Earning assets increased by $5.1 million from the $1.578 billion at year-end 2018 to end the quarter at $1.583 billion.

Cash and due from banks at June 30, 2019 was $26.4 million, a $3.4 million increase from the $23.0 million at December 31, 2018.  Interest bearing bank balances decreased by $3.1 million from the $41.0 million reported at December 31, 2018 but federal funds sold increased by $14.3 million to $32.2 million at June 30, 2019.  Changes in these highly liquid assets are generally in response to increases in deposits, the demand for deposit withdrawals or the funding of loans or investment purchases, and are part of Premier’s management of its liquidity and interest rate risks.

Securities available for sale totaled $360.7 million at June 30, 2019, a $5.0 million decrease from the $365.7 million at December 31, 2018.  The decrease was largely due to $35.1 million of securities that matured or were called during the first half of 2019 and proceeds from monthly principal payments on Premier’s mortgage backed securities which more than offset the purchase of $21.0 million of investment securities and a $9.6 million increase in market value of securities available for sale.  The investment portfolio is predominately high quality residential mortgage backed securities backed by the U.S. Government or Government sponsored agencies.  Any unrealized losses on securities within the portfolio at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are believed to be price changes resulting from changes in the long-term interest rate environment and management anticipates receiving all principal and interest on these investments as they come due.  Additional details on investment activities can be found in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Total loans at June 30, 2019 were $1.148 billion compared to $1.149 billion at December 31, 2018, a decrease of approximately $1.0 million, or 0.1%. The slight decrease is largely due to regular principal payments, loan payoffs, and transfers of loans to OREO upon foreclosure, which was substantially offset by internal loan growth.  Loan payoffs during the first half of 2019 resulted in recognizing approximately $494,000 of interest income deferred while the loans were on non-accrual status and $518,000 of remaining fair value discounts associated with the loans.

Premises and equipment increased by $7.3 million, largely due to the recording of a $7.5 million Finance Lease Right to Use Asset in accordance with the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 on January 1, 2019.  Otherwise, premises and equipment decreased by $300,000, largely due to the $185,000 building impairment charge related to a branch location that is in the process of being liquidated as well as regular depreciation.  Goodwill and other intangible assets decreased by $450,000, due to the amortization of core deposit intangibles.

JUNE 30, 2019

Deposits totaled $1.427 billion as of June 30, 2019, a $2.7 million, or 0.2%, decrease from the $1.430 billion in deposits at December 31, 2018.  The overall decrease in deposits is largely due to a $17.8 million, or 4.5%, decrease in non-interest bearing deposits and a $9.9 million, or 3.3%, decrease in interest bearing transaction deposits.  Nearly offsetting these decreases, savings deposits increased by $6.7 million, or 1.9%, since year-end 2018 while time deposits increased by $18.2 million, or 4.7%.  Repurchase agreements with corporate and public entity customers decreased by $1.2 million, or 5.6%, in the first six months of 2019.  FHLB borrowings decreased by $2.5 million, or 28.0%, since year-end 2018 due to planned repayment of borrowings upon maturity.  Other borrowings decreased by $2,500,000 since year-end 2018 due to scheduled principal payments plus additional principal payments on Premier’s existing borrowings.  The $2,500,000 of principal payments fully repaid the borrowing at the parent company as of June 30, 2019.  Subordinated debentures increased by $14,000, due to the amortization of the fair value adjustment recorded in 2016 as part of the acquisition of First National Bankshares.  Other liabilities increased by $7.2 million, largely due to the recording of a $7.5 million Finance Lease Liability also in accordance with the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the Company’s nonperforming assets at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

	(In Thousands)
	2019			2018
Non-accrual loans	$	16,839		$	17,448
Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more		1,284			1,086
Accruing restructured loans		6,272			6,283
Total non-performing loans		24,395			24,817
Other real estate acquired through foreclosure (OREO)		14,248			14,024
Total non-performing assets	$	38,643		$	38,841
Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans		2.12	%		2.16	%
Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets		2.27	%		2.30	%

Total non-performing loans have decreased since year-end, largely due to a $609,000 decrease in non-accrual loans and an $11,000 decrease in accruing restructured loans.  These decreases in non-performing loans were partially offset by a $198,000 increase in loans past due 90 days or more.  Total non-performing assets have decreased since year-end, largely due to the decrease in non-performing loans.  This decrease was partially offset by a $224,000 increase in other real estate owned acquired through foreclosure (“OREO”).  Other real estate owned increased by $224,000, or 1.6%, largely due to the foreclosure on one commercial real estate property that also resulted in a $450,000 loan charge-off.

Premier continues to make a significant effort to reduce its past due and non-performing loans by reviewing loan files, using the courts to bring borrowers current with the terms of their loan agreements and/or the foreclosure and sale of OREO properties.  As in the past, when these plans are executed, Premier may experience increases in non-performing loans and non-performing assets.  Furthermore, any resulting increases in loans placed on non-accrual status will have a negative impact on future loan interest income.  Also, as these plans are executed, other loans may be identified that would necessitate additional charge-offs and potentially additional provisions for loan losses.

Gross charge-offs totaled $1.0 million during the first six months of 2019, largely due to the foreclosure on one commercial real estate property from a previously identified impaired loan relationship that also resulted in a $450,000 loan charge-off.  Any collections on charged-off loans, or partially charged-off loans, would be presented in future financial statements as recoveries of the amounts charged against the allowance.  Recoveries recorded during the first six months of 2019 totaled $157,000, resulting in net charge-offs for the first six months of 2019 of $855,000.  This compares to $737,000 of net charge-offs recorded in the first six months of 2018.  The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2019 was 1.20% of total loans compared to the same percentage at December 31, 2018.  The consistent ratio is due to a small $1.0 million decrease in total loans outstanding  with only a slight change in the amount of allowance for loan losses.

JUNE 30, 2019

During the first six months of 2019, Premier recorded $890,000 of provision for loan losses.  This provision compares to $1,615,000 of provision for loan losses recorded during the same six months of 2018.  The provision for loan losses recorded during the first six months of 2019 was primarily to provide for new loans recorded and additional identified credit risk in Premier’s multifamily residential real estate loan, non-owner occupied real estate loan, and commercial and industrial loan portfolios.  The provision for loan losses recorded during the first six months of 2018 was primarily to provide for additional identified credit risk in Premier’s commercial and industrial loan, commercial real estate loan, and construction loan portfolios.  The level of provision expense is determined under Premier’s internal analyses of evaluating credit risk.  The provisions for loan losses recorded in 2018 and 2019 were made in accordance with Premier’s policies regarding management’s estimation of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, which are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Management updated its policies regarding estimation of probable incurred losses in the first quarter of 2018.  The updates included incorporating a common estimated loss ratio for all pass credits within a given loan classification, addingan additional qualitative factor for document exceptions on collectively evaluated impaired loans, and reallocating the qualitative portion of the allowance to align more closely to the inputs used to determine the qualitative portion.  The result was a reduction in the amount of the allowance attributed to collectively impaired residential real estate and multifamily real estate loans and an increase in the amount of allowance attributed to collectively impaired commercial and industrial loans, consumer, construction, and all other loans. Future provisions to the allowance for loan losses, positive or negative, will depend on future improvement or deterioration in estimated credit risk in the loan portfolio as well as whether additional payments are received on loans having significant credit risk.  With the concentrations of commercial real estate loans in the Washington, DC, Richmond, Virginia, and Cincinnati, Ohio markets, fluctuations in commercial real estate values will be monitored. Premier also continues to monitor the impact of declines in the coal mining industry that may have a larger impact in the southern area of West Virginia and the decrease in the level of drilling activity in the oil & gas industry, which may have a larger impact in the central area of West Virginia.  A resulting decline in employment could increase non-performing assets from loans originated in these areas.  In each of the last five years, Premier sold some OREO properties at a gain while other OREO properties have required subsequent write-downs to net realizable values. These factors are considered in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  For additional details on the activity in the allowance for loan losses, impaired loans, past due and non-accrual loans and restructured loans, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

On July 17, 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) voted for a proposal to extend the implementation deadline of ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, commonly referred to as “CECL”, for smaller reporting companies like Premier.  Still subject to a 30-day public comment period, the proposal would extend the implementation deadline for Premier for a period of three-years until January 1, 2023.  If the public’s comments are mostly favorable, the FASB will issue a final document on the decisions sometime in August or September 2019.

C.Critical Accounting Policies

The Company follows financial accounting and reporting policies that are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  These policies are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated audited financial statements in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.  Some of these accounting policies, as discussed below, are considered to be critical accounting policies.  Critical accounting policies are those policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  The Company has identified two accounting policies that are critical accounting policies, and an understanding of these policies is necessary to understand the financial statements.  These policies relate to determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the identification and evaluation of impaired loans.  A detailed description of these accounting policies is contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.  There have been no significant changes in the application of these accounting policies since December 31, 2018.

Management believes that the judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time.

D.Liquidity

Liquidity objectives for the Company 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 while attempting to maximize profitability. In order to provide for funds on a current and long-term basis, the Company’s subsidiary banks rely primarily on the following sources:

1. Core deposits consisting of both consumer and commercial deposits and certificates of deposit of $250,000 or more.  Management believes that the majority of its $250,000 or more certificates of deposit are no more volatile than its other deposits.  This is due to the nature of the markets in which the subsidiaries operate.

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 borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

5. Maintenance of an adequate available-for-sale security portfolio.  The Company owns $360.7 million of securities at fair value as of June 30, 2019.

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.

E.Capital

At June 30, 2019, total stockholders’ equity of $232.3 million was 13.6% of total assets.  This compares to total stockholders’ equity of $216.7 million, or 12.8% of total assets on December 31, 2018.  The increase in stockholders’ equity was largely due to the $12.0 million of net income for the first six months of 2019 and a $7.6 million, net of tax, increase in the market value of the investment portfolio available for sale.   These increases in stockholders’ equity were partially offset by  $0.30 per share in cash dividends declared and paid during the first six months of 2019.

Tier 1 capital totaled $185.5 million at June 30, 2019, which represents a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 11.1%.  This ratio is up from the 10.7% Tier 1 leverage ratio and $177.0 million of Tier 1 capital at December 31, 2018.  The increase in the Tier 1 leverage ratio is largely due to the growth in Tier 1 capital exceeding the proportional growth in average total assets at June 30, 2019.

Beginning on January 1, 2016 an additional capital conservation buffer has been added to the minimum regulatory capital ratios under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  The capital conservation buffer is measured as a percentage of risk weighted assets and was phased-in over a four year period from 2016 thru 2019.  As of January 1 2019, the capital conservation buffer is 2.50% of risk weighted assets over and above the regulatory minimum capital ratios for Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (CET1) to risk weighted assets, Tier 1 Capital to risk weighted assets, and Total Capital to risk weighted assets.  The consequences of not meeting the capital conservation buffer thresholds include restrictions on the payment of dividends, restrictions on the payment of discretionary bonuses, and restrictions on the repurchasing of common shares by the Company.  The capital ratios of the Affiliate Banks and the Company exceed the new minimum capital ratios plus the fully phased-in 2.50% capital buffer requiring a CET1 Capital to risk weighted assets ratio of at least 7.00%, a Tier 1 Capital to risk weighted assets ratio of at least 8.50%, and a Total Capital to risk weighted assets ratio of at least 10.50%.  At June 30, 2019, the Company’s capital conservation buffer was 8.45%, well in excess of the fully phased-in 2.50% required by January 1, 2019.

Book value per common share was $15.86 at June 30, 2019 and $14.82 at December 31, 2018.  The increase in book value per share was largely due to the $0.82 per share earned during the first six months, partially offset by the $0.30 per share quarterly cash dividends to common shareholders declared and paid during the first six months of 2019.  Also increasing Premier’s book value per share at June 30, 2019 was the $7.6 million of other comprehensive income for the first six months of 2019 related to the increase in the market value of investment securities available for sale, which increased book value by approximately $0.52 per share.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company currently does not engage in any derivative or hedging activity.  Refer to the Company’s 2018 10-K for analysis of the interest rate sensitivity.  The Company believes there have been no significant changes in the interest rate sensitivity since previously reported on the Company’s 2018 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

A.Disclosure Controls & Procedures

Premier management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15c as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this quarterly report has been made known to them in a timely fashion.

B.Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting during the first fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect Premier's internal controls over financial reporting.

C.Inherent Limitations on Internal Control

"Internal controls" are procedures, which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) transactions are properly authorized; (2) assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use; and (3) transactions are properly recorded and reported, all so as to permit the preparation of reports and financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. However, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their cost. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is also based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Finally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires organizations that are lessees to recognize a lease liability, which is the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified property for the lease term.  The new guidance also requires lessees to disclose key information about leasing requirements for leases that were historically classified as operating leases under previous generally accepted accounting principles. This ASU became effective for Premier for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.  The Company leases some of its branch locations.  The Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019.  The Company applied a modified retrospective transition approach for the applicable leases. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. The Company has also elected to use the practical expedient to make an accounting policy election for property leases to include both lease and non-lease components as a single component and account for it as a lease.  Upon adoption of this standard, the Company recorded a $7.6 million right of use asset, included in premises and equipment, determined by calculating an estimated present value of future lease payments over the extended lives of the Company’s leases.  The Company also recorded a $7.6 million finance lease liability, included in other liabilities.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.  This ASU replaces the measurement for credit losses from a probable incurred estimate with an expected future loss estimate, which is referred to as the “current expected credit loss” or “CECL”.  The standard pertains to financial assets measured at amortized cost such as loans, debt securities classified as held-to-maturity, and certain other contracts, in which organizations will now use forward-looking information to enhance their credit loss estimates on these assets.  The largest impact will be on the allowance for loan and lease losses.  The company has formed a committee to oversee the steps required in the adoption of the new current expected credit loss method.  The committee has selected a third-party vendor to assist in data analysis and modeling as well as the required disclosures. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s financial statements.  Upon adoption, an initial cumulative increase in the allowance for loan losses is currently anticipated by management along with a corresponding decrease in capital as permitted by the standard.  However, due to the complexity of the calculation and evolving guidance on adoption management has not yet determined the one-time adjustment.  On July 17, 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) voted for a proposal to extend the implementation deadline for smaller reporting companies like Premier.  Still subject to a 30-day public comment period, the proposal would extend the implementation deadline for Premier for a period of three-years until January 1, 2023.  If the public’s comments are mostly favorable, the FASB will issue a final document on the decisions sometime in August or September 2019.  If the proposal is not extended the ASU will become effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019.

The investment portfolio is predominately high credit quality interest-bearing bonds with defined maturity dates backed by the U.S. Government or Government sponsored entities.  The unrealized losses at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are price changes resulting from changes in the interest rate environment and are considered to be temporary declines in the value of the securities.  Management does not intend to sell and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery.  Their fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date and/or market conditions improve.

Purchased Impaired 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

	2019		2018
Residential real estate	$	2,355	$	2,665
Commercial real estate
Owner occupied		1,754		2,040
Non-owner occupied		3,062		3,434
Commercial and industrial		350		1,720
Construction and land		587		1,212
All other		231		225
Total carrying amount	$	8,339	$	11,296
Contractual principal balance	$	11,922	$	15,436
Carrying amount, net of allowance	$	8,339	$	11,296

For those purchased loans disclosed above, the Company did not increase the allowance for loan losses during the six-months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

For those purchased loans disclosed above, where the Company can reasonably estimate the cash flows expected to be collected on the loans, a portion of the purchase discount is 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 is being recognized as interest income over the remaining life of the loan.

Where the Company cannot reasonably estimate the cash flows expected to be collected on the loans, it 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.

The accretable yield, or income expected to be collected, on the purchased loans above is as follows at June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.  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 determination of an insignificant delay in payment is evaluated based on the facts and circumstances of the individual borrower(s).

The following table presents TDR’s as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

June 30, 2019	TDR’s on Non-accrual		Other TDR’s		Total TDR’s

At June 30, 2019, $1,692,000 in specific reserves was allocated to loans that had restructured terms resulting in a provision for loan losses $150,000 for the six months ended and a provision of $216,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019.  This compares to $163,000 of provision for loan losses on restructured loans for the six ended June 30, 2018 and a negative provision of $217,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  At December 31, 2018, $1,630,000 in specific reserves was allocated to loans that had restructured terms.  There were no commitments to lend additional amounts to these borrowers.

There were no TDR’s that occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, 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 by residential real estate, on a monthly basis.  For consumer loans, including consumer loans secured by residential real estate, and smaller balance non-homogeneous loans, the analysis involves monitoring the performing status of the loan.  At the time such loans become past due by 90 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 June 30, 2019, 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	$	369,315	$	2,745	$	9,256	$	209	$	381,525

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND REGULATORY MATTERS [Abstract]

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND REGULATORY MATTERS

NOTE  4 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND REGULATORY MATTERS

The Company’s principal source of funds for dividend payments to shareholders is dividends received from the subsidiary Banks.  Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies.  Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year’s net profits, as defined, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years, subject to the capital requirements and additional restrictions as discussed below.  During 2019 the Banks could, without prior approval, declare dividends to the Company of approximately $8.4 million plus any 2019 net profits retained to the date of the dividend declaration.

The Company and the subsidiary Banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Banks must meet specific guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.

These quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following tables).  The final rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. Banks (Basel III rules) became effective for the Company and Banks on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule by     January 1, 2019.  The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital.  Management believes, as of June 30, 2019, that the Company and the Banks meet all quantitative capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Shown below is a summary of regulatory capital ratios, exclusive of the capital conservation buffer, for the Company:

	June 30, 2019			December 31, 2018			Regulatory Minimum Requirements			To Be Considered Well Capitalized
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets)		14.8	%		14.2	%		4.5	%		6.5	%
Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets)		15.3	%		14.7	%		6.0	%		8.0	%
Total Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets)		16.4	%		15.9	%		8.0	%		10.0	%
Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets)		11.1	%		10.7	%		4.0	%		5.0	%

Beginning on January 1, 2016 an additional capital conservation buffer has been added to the minimum regulatory capital ratios under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  The capital conservation buffer is measured as a percentage of risk weighted assets and was phased-in over a four year period from 2016 thru 2019.  As of January 1, 2019, the capital conservation buffer is 2.50% of risk weighted assets over and above the regulatory minimum capital ratios for Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (CET1) to risk weighted assets, Tier 1 Capital to risk weighted assets, and Total Capital to risk weighted assets.  The consequences of not meeting the capital conservation buffer thresholds include restrictions on the payment of dividends, restrictions on the payment of discretionary bonuses, and restrictions on the repurchasing of common shares by the Company.  The capital ratios of the Affiliate Banks and the Company exceed the new minimum capital ratios plus the fully phased-in 2.50% capital buffer requiring a CET1 Capital to risk weighted assets ratio of at least 7.00%, a Tier 1 Capital to risk weighted assets ratio of at least 8.50%, and a Total Capital to risk weighted assets ratio of at least 10.50%.  The Company’s capital conservation buffer was 8.45% at June 30, 2019 and 7.88% at December 31, 2018, well in excess of the fully phased-in 2.50% required by January 1, 2019.

FAIR VALUE

FAIR VALUE [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE

NOTE  8 - FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

When possible, the Company looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Company looks to observable market data for similar assets and liabilities. However, certain assets and liabilities are not traded in observable markets and the Company must use other valuation methods to develop a fair value.

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and due from banks, Federal funds sold, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and deposits that reprice frequently and fully.  Fair values of time deposits with other banks are based on current rates for similar time deposits using the remaining time to maturity.  It was not practicable to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock due to the restrictions placed on its transferability.  For deposits and variable rate deposits with infrequent repricing, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life.  Fair values for loans is measured at the exit price notion by using the discounted cash flow or collateral value but also incorporates additional factors such as using economic factors, credit risk, and market rates and conditions.  Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values.  Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is not material.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument measured on a recurring basis:

Investment Securities:  The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments at June 30, 2019 were as follows:

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument measured on a non-recurring basis:

Impaired loans:  The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent collateral appraisals. Real estate appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and unique to each property and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.  Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports. Management periodically evaluates the appraised collateral values and will discount the collateral’s appraised value to account for a number of factors including but not limited to the cost of liquidating the collateral, the age of the appraisal, observable deterioration since the appraisal, management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, or other factors unique to the collateral.  To the extent an adjusted collateral value is lower than the carrying value of an impaired loan, a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses is assigned to the loan.

Other real estate owned (OREO):  The fair value of OREO is based on appraisals less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure.  Management may obtain additional updated appraisals depending on the length of time since foreclosure.  These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.  Management periodically evaluates the appraised values and will discount a property’s appraised value to account for a number of factors including but not limited to the cost of liquidating the collateral, the age of the appraisal, observable deterioration since the appraisal, or other factors unique to the property. To the extent an adjusted appraised value is lower than the carrying value of an OREO property, a direct charge to earnings is recorded as an OREO write-down.

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $9,114,000 at June 30, 2019 with a valuation allowance of $2,394,000 and a carrying amount of $10,177,000 at December 31, 2018 with a valuation allowance of $2,796,000.  The change resulted in a provision for loan losses of $226,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 2019, compared to a $520,000 provision for loan losses for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 and a $416,000 in provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to a $187,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The detail of impaired loans by loan class is contained in Note 3 above.

Other real estate owned measured at fair value less costs to sell had a net carrying amount of $11,988,000 which is made up of the outstanding balance of $12,945,000 net of a valuation allowance of $957,000 at June 30, 2019.  There were $131,000 of write downs during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $120,000 of write downs during the six months ended June 30, 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 there were $131,000 of additional write downs compared to $120,000 of additional write downs during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

At December 31, 2018, other real estate owned had a net carrying amount of $11,766,000, made up of the outstanding balance of $12,769,000, net of a valuation allowance of $1,003,000.

NOTE  9 - PENDING ACQUISITION

On July 8, 2019, Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc. (“Premier”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Citizens Deposit Bank and Trust, Inc. (“Citizens”) entered into a material definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with The First National Holding Company of Jackson (“FNHC”) and its wholly owned subsidiary The First National Bank of Jackson (“Jackson”), a $103.6 million national bank headquartered in Jackson, Kentucky whereby Citizens will purchase Jackson for approximately $14,784,000 in cash.

Under terms of the Merger Agreement, Citizens will purchase all the shares of Jackson common stock for an amount equal to Jackson’s total shareholder equity at the effective time, subject to certain adjustments, and will subsequently merge Jackson with and into Citizens.  The total transaction value is currently estimated to be $14,784,000.  The transaction, which is subject to satisfaction of various contractual conditions, requires approval by bank regulatory agencies and the shareholders of FNHC and Jackson, is anticipated to close sometime in the fourth quarter of 2019 with a systems conversion anticipated to be completed soon thereafter.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires organizations that are lessees to recognize a lease liability, which is the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified property for the lease term.  The new guidance also requires lessees to disclose key information about leasing requirements for leases that were historically classified as operating leases under previous generally accepted accounting principles. This ASU became effective for Premier for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.  The Company leases some of its branch locations.  The Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019.  The Company applied a modified retrospective transition approach for the applicable leases. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. The Company has also elected to use the practical expedient to make an accounting policy election for property leases to include both lease and non-lease components as a single component and account for it as a lease.  Upon adoption of this standard, the Company recorded a $7.6 million right of use asset, included in premises and equipment, determined by calculating an estimated present value of future lease payments over the extended lives of the Company’s leases.  The Company also recorded a $7.6 million finance lease liability, included in other liabilities.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.  This ASU replaces the measurement for credit losses from a probable incurred estimate with an expected future loss estimate, which is referred to as the “current expected credit loss” or “CECL”.  The standard pertains to financial assets measured at amortized cost such as loans, debt securities classified as held-to-maturity, and certain other contracts, in which organizations will now use forward-looking information to enhance their credit loss estimates on these assets.  The largest impact will be on the allowance for loan and lease losses.  The company has formed a committee to oversee the steps required in the adoption of the new current expected credit loss method.  The committee has selected a third-party vendor to assist in data analysis and modeling as well as the required disclosures. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s financial statements.  Upon adoption, an initial cumulative increase in the allowance for loan losses is currently anticipated by management along with a corresponding decrease in capital as permitted by the standard.  However, due to the complexity of the calculation and evolving guidance on adoption management has not yet determined the one-time adjustment.  On July 17, 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) voted for a proposal to extend the implementation deadline for smaller reporting companies like Premier.  Still subject to a 30-day public comment period, the proposal would extend the implementation deadline for Premier for a period of three-years until January 1, 2023.  If the public’s comments are mostly favorable, the FASB will issue a final document on the decisions sometime in August or September 2019.  If the proposal is not extended the ASU will become effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019.
