NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. GENERAL
Plumas Bancorp (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 17, 2002 and subsequently obtained approval from various state and federal agencies to be a bank holding company in connection with the merger of Plumas Bank (the “Bank”). The Company became the sole shareholder of the Bank on June 21, 2002 pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization and Merger Agreement dated April 3, 2002. Pursuant to that plan, on June 21, 2002 each outstanding share of the Bank’s common stock was exchanged for one share of common stock of the Company. The Company formed Plumas Statutory Trust I for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities on September 26, 2002.
The Bank operates twelve branches in California, including branches in Alturas, Chester, Fall River Mills, Greenville, Kings Beach, Loyalton, Portola, Quincy, Susanville, Tahoe City, Truckee and Westwood. The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to applicable legal limits. The Bank’s primary source of revenue is generated from providing loans to customers who are predominately small and middle market businesses and individuals residing in the surrounding areas.
2. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Plumas Bank. Plumas Statutory Trust I is not consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, is accounted for under the equity method. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ balances to conform to classifications used in 2005.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain disclosures normally presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 may not necessarily be indicative of future operating results. In preparing such financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the periods reported. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Management has determined that since all of the commercial banking products and services offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Bank, all branches are located within the same economic environment and management does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities, it is appropriate to aggregate the Bank branches and report them as a single operating segment.

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is party to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or result of operations of the Company taken as a whole.
In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding commitments to extend credit which are not reflected in the financial statements, including loan commitments of $93,268,000 and $90,084,000 and stand-by letters of credit of $1,753,000 and $1,777,000 at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
Of the loan commitments outstanding at June 30, 2005, $30,732,000 are real estate construction loan commitments that are expected to fund within the next twelve months. The remaining commitments primarily relate to revolving lines of credit or other commercial loans, and many of these are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each loan commitment and the amount and type of collateral obtained, if any, are evaluated on an individual basis. Collateral held varies, but may include real property, bank deposits, debt or equity securities or business assets.
Stand-by letters of credit are conditional commitments written to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily related to the purchases of inventory by commercial customers and are typically short-term in nature. Credit risk is similar to that involved in extending loan commitments to customers and accordingly, evaluation and collateral requirements similar to those for loan commitments are used. The deferred liability related to the Company’s stand-by letters of credit was not significant at of June 30, 2005 or December 31, 2004.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options, result in the issuance of common stock which shares in the earnings of the Company. The treasury stock method has been applied to determine the dilutive effect of stock options in computing diluted earnings per share.
                                 
    For the Three Months   For the Six Months
    Ended June 30,   Ended June 30,
    2005   2004   2005   2004
Earnings Per Share:
                               
Basic earnings per share
  $ 0.33     $ 0.26     $ 0.60     $ 0.48  
Diluted earnings per share
  $ 0.32     $ 0.25     $ 0.59     $ 0.47  
Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding:
                               
Basic shares
    3,296,708       3,259,356       3,288,596       3,254,872  
Diluted shares
    3,570,734       3,344,598       3,572,051       3,339,813  
There were no stock options in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 considered to be antidilutive. There were 54,375 stock options in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, considered to be antidilutive and therefore omitted from the above calculation of diluted earnings per share.
6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Total comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 totaled $1,639,000 and $(1,151,000), respectively. Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net unrealized losses, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities, which were $556,000 and $(2,001,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, together with net income.
Total comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 totaled $1,818,000 and $154,000, respectively. Comprehensive income is comprised of net unrealized losses, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities, which were $(162,000) and $(1,422,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, together with net income.
At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, accumulated other comprehensive loss totaled $654,000 and $492,000, respectively, and is reflected as a component of shareholders’ equity.
7. ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS
In December 2004 the FASB issued Statement Number 123 (revised 2004) (FAS 123 (R)), Share-Based Payments. FAS 123 (R) requires all entities to recognize compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments such as stock options granted to employees. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a rule that defers the compliance of FAS 123(R) from the first reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005 to the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, January 1 2006 for the Company. Management has not completed its evaluation of the effect that FAS 123 (R) will have, but believes that the effect will be consistent with its previous pro forma disclosures.
8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
At June 30, 2005, the Company had two stock-based compensation plans, the Plumas Bank 2001 and 1991 Stock Option Plans. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement

Table of Contents

principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
Pro forma adjustments to the Company’s consolidated net earnings and earnings per share are disclosed during the years in which the options become vested. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statements No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based compensation, dollars in thousands except per share amounts:

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, (1) significant increases in competitive pressures in the financial services industry; (2) changes in the interest rate environment resulting in reduced margins; (3) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, maybe less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality; (4) changes in regulatory environment; (5) loss of key personnel; (6) fluctuations in the real estate market; (7) changes in business conditions and inflation; (8) operational risks including data processing systems failures or fraud; and (9) changes in securities markets. Therefore, the information set forth herein should be carefully considered when evaluating the business prospects of Plumas Bancorp.
When the Company uses in this Quarterly Report the words “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “project”, “intend”, “commit”, “believe” and similar expressions, the Company intends to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are not guarantees of performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in this Quarterly Report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, expected, projected, intended, committed or believed. The future results and stockholder values of the Company may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results and values are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. For those statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
INTRODUCTION
On May 18, 2005, Plumas Bancorp (the “Company”) began trading on the NASDAQ Small Cap market under the ticker symbol “PLBC”. Prior to May 18, 2005, the Company was traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTC BB”) also under the ticker symbol “PLBC”.
The following discussion and analysis sets forth certain statistical information relating to the Company as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Plumas Bancorp’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
OVERVIEW
The Company’s net income increased $404 thousand, or 26%, to $1.98 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $1.58 million for the same period in 2004. The primary contributor to the increase in net income for the first six months of 2005 was the $1.69 million increase in net interest income. This increase was somewhat offset by decreases in gains on sales of investment securities of $155 thousand and on sales of other real estate and vehicles of $135 thousand and increases in the Company’s provision for loan losses of $300 thousand, salaries and benefits of $237 thousand, other non-interest expenses of $274 thousand and the provision for income taxes of $196 thousand.
Total assets at June 30, 2005 were $451 million, an increase of $34 million, or 8%, from the $417 million at December 31, 2004. The growth in assets was funded by growth in the Company’s deposits and increases in Federal funds purchased. Deposits grew $15 million, or 4%, to $394 million at June 30, 2005

from $379 million at December 31, 2004. Short-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased to $17.5 million at June 30, 2005 up from $1 million at December 31, 2004.
The annualized return on average assets was 0.92% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 up from 0.79% for the same period in 2004. The annualized return on average equity was 13.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 up from 11.5% for the same period in 2004.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005
Net interest income before provision for loan losses. Net interest income, on a nontax-equivalent basis, was $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $1.7 million, or 21%, from $8.1 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributed to volume increases in the Company’s average loan balances partially offset by increases in rates paid primarily on time deposits and money market accounts as well as both rate and volume increases on short-term borrowings.
Interest income increased $2.4 million, or 25%, to $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to volume increases in loan balances. The Company’s average loan balances were $287 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, up $69 million, or 32%, from the $218 million for the same period in 2004.
Interest expense increased $668 thousand, or 48%, to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, up from $1.4 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributed to rate increases on time deposits and money market accounts as well as both volume and rate increases on short-term borrowings. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004, the Company’s average rate on time deposits increased 61 basis points to 2.43% from 1.82% and on money market accounts increased 30 basis points to 1.04% from 0.74%. The Company’s average short-term borrowing balances were $11.4 million at a rate of 2.92% for the six months ended June 30, 2005. There were no short-term borrowings for the first six months of 2004.
As a result of the changes noted above, the net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased 30 basis points, or 6%, to 5.02%, up from 4.72% for the same period in 2004.

Provision for loan losses. The Company recorded $600,000 in provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2005, up $300,000, or 100%, from the $300,000 provision for the same period in 2004. Management assesses its loan quality monthly to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. Based on information currently available, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb potential risks in the portfolio. However, no assurance can be given that the Company may not sustain charge-offs which are in excess of the allowance in any given period. The Company’s loan portfolio composition and non-performing assets are further discussed under the financial condition section below.
Non-interest income. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, total non-interest income decreased $138 thousand, or 6%, to $2.2 million, down from $2.4 million for the comparable period in 2004. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily the result of declines in gains on the sale of investment securities of $155 thousand and gains on the sale of other real estate holdings of $135 thousand somewhat offset by increases in service charge revenues of $67 thousand, tax refunds of $58 thousand, merchant processing income of $39 thousand and stock dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank stock of $25 thousand.
In managing its liquidity needs, the Company will often sell available-for-sale investment securities. During the first six months of 2005, as a result of the higher interest rate environment, the Company did not have the same opportunity to sell investment securities at gains as it did during the same period in 2004. As a result, during the six months ended June 30, 2005 the Company sold only $2 million of available-for-sale securities with losses of $8 thousand, as compared to selling $16.5 million of available-for-sale securities with gains of $147 thousand during the first six months of 2004.

In addition, during the first six months of 2004 the Company sold two unused banking offices, recording gains of $135 thousand. These two unused banking offices were part of a deposit and branch acquisition that occurred in late 2003. No such transactions occurred during the first six months of 2005.
Non-interest expenses. Non-interest expenses consist of salaries and related employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, professional fees, business development expenses, telephone expense, stationery and supplies expense, armored car and courier expense, advertising and promotion expense, loan expenses, directors’ fees, and other operating expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, non-interest expense increased $652 thousand, or 8%, to $8.3 million, up from $7.7 million for the comparable period in 2004.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $237 thousand, or 5%, over the same six-month period last year. This increase was due primarily to staffing additions related to the expansion of the Company’s centralized lending function and other staffing additions to manage the overall growth of the Company. Higher salary and employee benefit costs were somewhat reduced by the deferral of salary costs related to increased loan origination activities.
Occupancy and equipment increased $141 thousand, or 10%, over the same six-month period last year. This increase was due primarily to additional depreciation expense on software associated with upgraded software systems, including the Company’s core data system, credit services systems, regulatory compliance systems, teller systems, communication systems and security systems.
Professional fees increased $122 thousand, or 51%, over the same six-month period last year. This increase was primarily the result of consulting projects related to the Company’s overdraft privilege program and an evaluation of the Company’s risk management environment.
Advertising and promotion expense increased $65 thousand, or 41%, over the same six-month period last year as a result of a general expansion of marketing efforts related to the Company’s expanded service area including the communities of Tahoe City, Kings Beach and Loyalton.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005
Net interest income before provision for loan losses. Net interest income, on a nontax-equivalent basis, was $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $982 thousand, or 24%, from $4.0 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributed to volume increases in the Company’s average loan balances offset by increases in rates paid primarily on time deposits as well as both rate and volume increases on short-term borrowings.
Interest income increased $1.4 million, or 30%, to $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to volume increases in loan balances. The Company’s average loan balances were $300 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, up $80 million, or 37%, from the $219 million for the same period in 2004.
Interest expense increased $452 thousand, or 66%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, up from $690 thousand for the same period in 2004. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributed to rate increases on time deposits as well as both volume and rate increases on short-term borrowings. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004, the Company’s average rate on time deposits increased 79 basis points to 2.58% from 1.79%. The Company’s average short-term borrowing balances were $17.4 million at a rate of 3.02% for the three months ended June 30, 2005. There were no short-term borrowings during the three months ended June 30, 2004.
As a result of the changes noted above, the net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2005 increased 36 basis points, or 8%, to 5.03%, up from 4.67% for the same period in 2004.

Provision for loan losses. The Company recorded $300,000 in provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2005, up $150,000, or 100%, from the $150,000 provision for the same period in 2004. Management assesses its loan quality monthly to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. Based on information currently available, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb potential risks in the portfolio. However, no assurance can be given that the Company may not sustain charge-offs which are in excess of the allowance in any given period. The Company’s loan portfolio composition and non-performing assets are further discussed under the financial condition section below.
Non-interest income. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, total non-interest income decreased $227 thousand, or 17%, to $1.1 million, down from $1.3 million for the comparable period in 2004. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily the result of declines in gains on the sale of other real estate holdings of $172 thousand and gains on the sale of investment securities of $56 thousand. In addition, during the three months ending June 30, 2005, service charge revenues declined $53 thousand as a result of a change in the method that service charges are assessed on deposit accounts. Slightly offsetting these declines in non-interest income was an increase of $32 thousand in stock dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank stock owned by the Company.
In managing its liquidity needs, the Company will often sell available-for-sale investment securities. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, as a result of the higher interest rate environment, the Company did not have the same opportunity to sell investment securities at gains as it did during the same period in 2004. As a result, during the three months ended June 30, 2005 the Company did not sell any available-for-sale securities compared to selling $7.2 million of available-for-sale securities with gains of $56 thousand during the three moths ended June 30, 2004.

Table of Contents

During the quarter ended June 30, 2004 the Company sold two unused banking offices, recording gains of $135 thousand. These two unused banking offices were part of a deposit and branch acquisition that occurred in late 2003. No such transactions occurred during the second quarter of 2005.
Non-interest expenses. Non-interest expenses consist of salaries and related employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, professional fees, business development expenses, telephone expense, stationery and supplies expense, armored car and courier expense, advertising and promotion expense, loan expenses, directors’ fees, and other operating expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, non-interest expense increased $212 thousand, or 5%, to $4.1 million, up from $3.9 million for the comparable period in 2004.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $44 thousand, or 2%, over the same three-month period last year. This increase was due primarily to staffing additions related to the expansion of the Company’s centralized lending function and to manage the overall growth of the Company.
Occupancy and equipment increased $59 thousand, or 9%, over the same three-month period last year. This increase was due primarily to additional depreciation expense on software associated with upgraded software systems, including the Company’s core data system, credit services systems, regulatory compliance systems, teller systems, communication systems and security systems.
Professional fees increased $65 thousand, or 59%, over the same three-month period last year. This increase was primarily the result of consulting projects related to the Company’s overdraft privilege program and an evaluation of the Company’s risk management environment.
Business development expense increased $33 thousand, or 31%, over the same three-month period last year as a result of increased training and education expense and a general expansion of business development efforts related to the Company’s expanded service area including the communities of Tahoe City, Kings Beach and Loyalton.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Loan portfolio composition. The Company continues to manage the mix of its loan portfolio consistent with its identity as a community bank serving the financing needs of all sectors of Northeastern California. Although the Company offers a broad array of financing options, it continues to concentrate its focus on small- to medium-sized commercial businesses. These commercial loans are diversified as to the industries and types of businesses, thus limiting material exposure from any one industry concentration. The Company offers both fixed and floating rate loans and obtains collateral in the form of real property, business assets and deposit accounts, but looks to business and personal cash flows as its primary source of repayment. As of June 30, 2005, real estate construction and land development loan balances as a percentage of total loans increased to 14.4% from 12.0% at December 31, 2004. Also during the first six months of 2005, consumer loan balances increased slightly to 23.8% of total loans from 22.1% at December 31, 2004. The increased percentages in real estate construction and land development and consumer loan balances were offset with declines in the relative percentage of agricultural, real estate mortgage and commercial loan balances which were 10.8%, 36.1% and 14.9%, respectively at June 30, 2005, down from 11.6%, 38.3% and 16.0%, respectively at December 31, 2004.
Nonperforming assets. Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2005 were $1,013,000, a decrease of $158 thousand, or 13%, over the $1,171,000 balance at December 31, 2004. Nonperforming assets (which is comprised of nonperforming loans plus foreclosed real estate and vehicle holdings) at June 30, 2005 were $1,042,000, a decrease of $165 thousand, or 14%, over the $1,207,000 balance at December 31, 2004.
The decrease in both nonperforming loans and assets at June 30, 2005 from December 31, 2004 is primarily related to the upgrade of one commercial real estate loan with an outstanding balance of $329 thousand that was nonperforming at the end of 2004. As a result of its current performance this loan has been placed back on accrual status during the quarter ending June 30, 2005.
As a result of the above, nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans decreased to 0.33% at June 30, 2005 down from 0.44% at December 31, 2004. In addition, nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets decreased to 0.23% at June 30, 2005 down from 0.29% at December 31, 2004.
Analysis of allowance for loan losses. Net charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2005 totaled $255 thousand, or 0.08% of total loans, compared to $237 thousand, or 0.10% of total loans, for the comparable period in 2004. Net charge-offs during the first half of 2005 were comprised of $344 thousand of charge-offs offset by $89 thousand in recoveries, compared to $328 thousand of charge-offs offset by $91 thousand in recoveries for the same period in 2004. The allowance for loan losses stood at 1.01% of total loans as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Based on an evaluation of the credit quality of the loan portfolio and delinquency trends and charge-offs, management believes the allowance for loan losses to be adequate. However, no prediction of the ultimate level of loans charged off in future years can be made with any certainty.

Investment securities. Investment securities decreased $15 million to $98 million at June 30, 2005, from $113 million at December 31, 2004. The Company’s investment in U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. agencies decreased to 75.4% of the investment portfolio at June 30, 2005, versus 78.0% at December 31, 2004. The Company’s investment in corporate bonds increased to 10.0% of the investment portfolio at June 30, 2005, versus 8.8% at December 31, 2004. Tax-exempt municipal obligation bonds increased to 14.6% of the investment portfolio at June 30, 2005, up from 13.2% at December 31, 2004.
Premises and equipment. Premises and equipment increased $545 thousand, or 6%, to $10.3 million at June 30, 2005, from $9.8 million at December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily the result of the February 2005 purchase of a parcel of land for a planned branch office in Truckee for $533 thousand offset by ongoing depreciation on existing premises and equipment.
Accrued interest receivable and other assets. Accrued interest receivable and other assets decreased $91 thousand, or 1%, to $8.6 million at June 30, 2005, from $8.7 million at December 31, 2004. The decrease primarily resulted from the sale of other real estate in the first half of 2005. The property had a carrying value of $105 thousand and was sold at a loss of $15 thousand. The Company has no other real estate holdings as of June 30, 2005.
Deposits. Total deposits were $394 million as of June 30, 2005, an increase of $15.3 million, or 4.0%, from the December 31, 2004 balance of $379 million. The primary growth was in non-interest bearing deposits which increased $15.1 million or 14%. The Company continues to manage the mix of its deposits

consistent with its identity as a community bank serving the financial needs of its customers. Non-interest bearing demand deposits and interest checking deposits increased to 42.0% of total deposits at June 30, 2005, up from 40.7% of total deposits at December 31, 2004. Money market and savings deposits decreased to 32.8% of total deposits at June 30, 2005 compared to 34.3% as of December 31, 2004. Time deposits increased slightly to 25.2% of total deposits as of June 30, 2005 up from 25.0% as of December 31, 2004.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances. FHLB advances were $17.5 million as of June 30, 2005, an increase of $16.5 million from the December 31, 2004 balance of $1 million. During the first six months of 2005 the Company utilized an established line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank to meet its short-term liquidity needs.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2005 increased $1.5 million, or 5.4%, to $29.4 million up from $27.9 million as of December 31, 2004. This increase was the result of earnings during the first half of 2005 of $2.0 million and the exercise of stock options of $161 thousand partially offset by a $527 thousand cash dividend and a $162 thousand increase in accumulated other comprehensive losses. The accumulated other comprehensive losses at June 30, 2005 were the result of the adverse affects of the rising interest rate environment on the market value of the Bank’s available-for-sale investment portfolio. Management believes that these unrealized losses are not permanent and will reverse over time as these shorter-term securities approach maturity.
The Company and the Bank are subject to certain regulatory capital requirements administered by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Failure to meet these 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 consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Each of these components is defined in the regulations. Management believes that the Company met all its capital adequacy requirements and that the Bank met the requirements to be considered well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action as of June 30, 2005.

LIQUIDITY
The Company manages its liquidity to provide the ability to generate funds to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals (both anticipated and unanticipated), fund customers’ borrowing needs, satisfy maturity of short-term borrowings and maintain reserve requirements. The Company’s liquidity needs are managed using assets or liabilities, or both. On the asset side the Company maintains cash and due from banks along with an investment portfolio containing U.S. government securities and agency securities that are classified as available-for-sale. On the liability side, liquidity needs are managed by charging competitive offering rates on deposit products and the use of established lines of credit from correspondent financial institutions and the Federal Home Loan Bank.
The Company has unsecured short-term borrowing agreements with two of its correspondent banks in the amounts of $10 million and $5 million. In addition, the Company can borrow up to $67 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank secured by commercial and residential mortgage loans. During the first half of 2005, the Company outstanding advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased from $1 million at December 31, 2004 to $17.5 million at June 30, 2005. These additional advances were used to meet the Company’s liquidity needs as loan growth exceeded deposit growth during the first six months of 2005. Management expects this trend to reverse with more significant deposit growth anticipated to occur in the third quarter of 2005.
Customer deposits are the Company’s primary source of funds. Those funds are held in various types of accounts with varying maturities. The Company does not accept brokered deposits. During the first half of 2005, deposits increased $15.3 million, or 4.0%, from the December 31, 2004 balance of $378 million. The Company has historically experienced a seasonal trend in regards to deposits; whereas the majority of the Company’s annual deposit growth has historically occurred in the late spring, summer and fall months.
The Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio, cash and due from banks and short-term borrowings from correspondent banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank serve as the primary sources of liquidity, providing adequate funding for loans during periods of high loan demand. During periods of decreased lending activity, proceeds from the maturity or sale of investment securities, loan payments, and new deposits are invested in short-term earning assets, such as Federal funds sold and investment securities, to serve as a source of funding for future loan growth. Management believes that the Company’s available sources of funds, including short-term borrowings, will provide adequate liquidity for its operations in the foreseeable future.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices such as interest rates, commodity prices and equity prices. As a financial institution, the Company’s

22


Table of Contents

market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk exposure. Fluctuation in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, dependent upon the stated or estimated maturity date. Since virtually all of the Company’s interest earning assets and all of the Company’s interest bearing liabilities, with the exception of the junior subordinated debentures, are located at the Bank level, virtually all of the Company’s interest rate risk exposure lies at the Bank level. As a result, all significant interest rate risk management procedures are performed at the Bank level. Based upon the nature of its operations, the Bank is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. The Bank’s real estate loan portfolio, concentrated primarily within northeastern California, is subject to risks associated with the local economies.
The fundamental objective of the Bank’s management of its assets and liabilities is to maximize the economic value of the Company while maintaining adequate liquidity and an exposure to interest rate risk deemed by management to be acceptable. Management believes an acceptable degree of exposure to interest rate risk results from the management of assets and liabilities through maturities, pricing and mix to attempt to neutralize the potential impact of changes in market interest rates. The Bank’s profitability is dependent to a large extent upon its net interest income which is the difference between its interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and its interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Bank, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-earning assets reprice differently than its interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank manages its mix of assets and liabilities with the goals of limiting its exposure to interest rate risk, ensuring adequate liquidity, and coordinating its sources and uses of funds.
The Bank seeks to control its interest rate risk exposure in a manner that will allow for adequate levels of earnings and capital over a range of possible interest rate environments. The Bank has adopted formal policies and practices to monitor and manage interest rate risk exposure. As part of this effort, the Bank measures interest rate risk utilizing an internal asset liability management system and employs independent third party reviews to confirm the reasonableness of the assumptions used to measure and report the Bank’s interest rate risk, enabling management to make any adjustments necessary.
Interest rate risk is managed by the Bank’s Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”), which is comprised of members of senior management. The ALCO monitors interest rate risk by analyzing the potential impact on the net interest income from potential changes in interest rates and considers the impact of alternative strategies or changes in balance sheet structure. The ALCO manages the Bank’s balance sheet in part to maintain the potential impact on net interest income within acceptable ranges despite changes in interest rates. The Bank’s exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on at least a quarterly basis by ALCO.
In management’s opinion there has not been a material change in the Company’s market risk or interest rate risk profile for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004 as discussed in the Company’s 2004 annual report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005 (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a—15(e), have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective for purposes of Rule 13a—15(e) in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company’s filings with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005.
