(Unaudited)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. GENERAL
Plumas Bancorp (the Company) was incorporated on January 17, 2002 and became the sole shareholder
of Plumas Bank (the Bank) on June 21, 2002. The Company formed Plumas Statutory Trust I for the
sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities on September 26, 2002. The Company formed
Plumas Statutory Trust II for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities on September
28, 2005.
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 Banks deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up
to applicable legal limits. The Banks 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 and Plumas
Statutory Trust II are not consolidated into the Companys consolidated financial statements and,
accordingly, are 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 Companys financial position at
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and its results of operations for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and its cash flows for the nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods
balances to conform to classifications used in 2006.
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. The Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Companys 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. The results of
operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 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 because 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. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of the
revenues of the Company or the Bank.

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 Companys 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 $101,733,000 and
$107,500,000 and stand-by letters of credit of $1,012,000 and $1,195,000 at September 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005, respectively.
Of the loan commitments outstanding at September 30, 2006, $32,216,000 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
Companys stand-by letters of credit was not significant at September 30, 2006 or December 31,
2005.

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.

There were 10,000 stock options during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30,
2006, considered to be antidilutive and therefore omitted from the above calculation of diluted
earnings per share. There were no stock options in the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2005 considered to be antidilutive.
6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Total comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 totaled
$1,977,000 and $1,000,000, respectively. Comprehensive income is comprised of unrealized gains
(losses), net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities, which were $581,000 and
$(248,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, together with net
income.
Total comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 totaled $4,108,000
and $2,819,000, respectively. Comprehensive income is comprised of unrealized gains (losses), net
of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities, which were $227,000 and $(409,000) for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, together with net income.
At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, accumulated other comprehensive loss totaled $864,000
and $1,091,000, respectively, and is reflected, net of taxes, as a component of shareholders
equity.
7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
At September 30, 2006, the Company had two stock-based compensation plans, the Plumas Bank 2001 and
1991 Stock Option Plans, which are described below. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R), Share Based Payment (SFAS 123 (R)),
using the modified prospective application transition method, which requires recognizing expense
for options granted prior to the adoption date equal to the fair value of the unvested amounts over
their remaining vesting period based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
original provisions of SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock Based Compensation and compensation cost
for all share based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair
values estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 (R). There were 7,500 options
granted during each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005.
Results for prior periods have not been restated. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted
for the Stock Option Plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based compensation
cost was recorded prior to January 1, 2006, 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 the grant.

Table of Contents
As a result of adopting SFAS 123 (R), the Companys income before provision for income taxes and
net income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $43,000 and $39,000, respectively, and
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $130,000 and $115,000, respectively, lower than if
we had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25. Basic and diluted earnings
per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 would have been $0.29 and $0.28, respectively,
without the adoption of SFAS 123 (R) compared to $0.28 and $0.27, respectively, as reported. Basic
and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 would have been $0.80
and $0.78, respectively, without the adoption of SFAS 123 (R) compared to $0.78 and $0.76,
respectively, as reported.
SFAS 123 (R) requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions
in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be
classified as a cash flow from financing in the statement of cash flows. These excess tax benefits
were not significant for the Company.
The following table illustrates the pro forma SFAS 123 adjustment on consolidated net income and
earnings per share had the Company recorded compensation expense in accordance with SFAS 123 for
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005, dollars in thousands except per share

8. STOCK OPTION PLANS
In 2001 and 1991, the Company established Stock Option Plans for which 925,101 shares of common
stock remain reserved for issuance to employees and directors and 615,037 shares are available for
future grants under incentive and nonstatutory agreements as of September 30, 2006. The plans
require that the option price may not be less than the fair market value of the stock at the date
the option is granted, and that the stock must be paid in full at the time the option is exercised.
Payment in full for the option price must be made in cash or with Company common stock previously
acquired by the optionee and held by the optionee for a period of at least six months. The options
expire on dates determined by the Board of Directors, but not later than ten years from the date of
grant. Upon grant, options vest ratably over a three to five year period.

The intrinsic value represents the value of the Companys closing stock price on September 29,
2006 in excess of the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding or
exercisable.
There were a total of 7,500 options granted during each of the nine-month periods ended September
30, 2006 and September 30, 2005. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of
grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses assumptions based on expected option
life, expected stock volatility, risk free interest rate, and dividend yield. The Company uses
historical data to estimate expected option life and pre-vesting option forfeitures. Stock
volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Companys stock. The risk-free rate is
based on the U. S. Treasury yield curve for the periods within the contractual life of the options
in effect at the time of grant.

9. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets
In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 156 (SFAS 156),
Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. SFAS 156
requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially
measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits, but does not require, the subsequent
measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. Under SFAS 156, an entity
can elect subsequent fair value measurement of its servicing assets and servicing liabilities by
class. An entity should apply the requirements for recognition and initial measurement of
servicing assets and servicing liabilities prospectively to all transactions after the effective
date. SFAS 156 permits an entity to reclassify certain available-for-sale securities to trading
securities provided that they are identified in some manner as offsetting the entitys exposure to
changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair
value. The provisions of SFAS 156 are effective for an entity as of the beginning of its first
fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS
156 to have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
In July 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48),
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attributable for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transitions.
FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management does not expect
the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of
operations.
Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance
In September 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) on Issue No. 06-5, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance Determining the Amount
That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, Accounting for
Purchases of Life Insurance. FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 requires that the amount that could
be realized under the insurance contract as of the date of the statement of financial position
should be reported as an asset. Since the issuance of FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, questions
arose regarding whether the amount that could be realized should consider 1) any additional
amounts included in the contractual terms of the insurance policy other than the cash surrender
value and 2) the contractual ability to surrender all of the individual-life policies (or
certificates in a group policy) at the same time. EITF 06-5 determined that the amount that could
be realized should 1) consider any additional amounts included in the contractual terms of the
policy and 2) assume the surrender of an individual-life by individual-life policy (or certificate
by certificate in a group policy). Any amount that is ultimately realized by the policy holder
upon the assumed surrender of the final policy (or final certificate in a group policy) shall be
included in the amount that could be realized. An entity should apply the provisions of EITF
06-5 through either a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to
retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption or a change in accounting principle
through retrospective application to all prior periods. The provisions of EITF 06-5 are effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has not yet completed its
evaluation of the impact that EITF 06-5 will have.

Table of Contents
Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or
liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new
circumstances. In this standard, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based
on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support
of this principle, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information
used to develop those assumptions. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The provisions should be applied prospectively, except for certain
specifically identified financial instruments. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157
to have a material impact to the Companys financial position or result of operations.
Consideration of the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission published Staff Accounting Bulleting No.
108 (SAB 108) Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in
Current Year Financial Statements. The interpretations in this Staff Accounting Bulleting were
issued to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements and the
potential under current practice to build up improper amounts on the balance sheet. This guidance
will apply to the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006 and early application in interim
periods is encouraged. Management does not believe the adoption of SAB 108 will have a material
impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 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 Companys 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
OVERVIEW
The Companys net income increased $653 thousand, or 20%, to $3.88 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 from $3.23 million for the same period in 2005. The primary contributor
to the increase in net income for the first nine months of 2006 was a $1.49 million increase in net
interest income. In addition non-interest income increased by $134 thousand primarily as a result
of an increase in service charge income of $200 thousand. Partially offsetting these revenue gains
was an increase in non-interest expenses of $398 thousand which included increases of $295 thousand
in salaries and benefits and $119 thousand in occupancy and equipment costs. The provision for
income taxes increased by $572 thousand.
Total assets increased $4.3 million from $472.8 million at December 31, 2005 to $477.1 million at
September 30, 2006. Net loans increased by $27.7 million, or 9% from $319.2 million at December
31, 2005 to $346.9 million at September 30, 2006. Funding for the increase in loans was provided by
a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $10.2 million, a decrease in investment securities of
$16.9 million, and an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances of $9.5 million as
deposits declined $8.6 million, or 2% from $426.6 million at December 31, 2005 to $418.0 million at
September 30, 2006.
The annualized return on average assets was 1.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 up
from 0.97% for the same period in 2005. The annualized return on average equity was 15.7% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 up from 14.9% for the same period in 2005.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses. Net interest income, on a nontax-equivalent
basis, was $16.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $1.5 million,
or 10%, from $15.2 million for the same period in 2005. The increase in net interest income was
primarily attributed to volume and rate increases in the Companys average loan balances partially
offset by increases in the rates paid on interest bearing deposit account balances and in the level
of and rates paid on the junior subordinated debentures.

Table of Contents
Interest income increased $3.2 million, or 17%, to $21.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. Interest and fees on loans increased by $3.2 million from $16.0 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $19.2 million during the current nine month period. The
Companys average loan balances were $330.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006,
up $32.7 million, or 11%, from the $297.5 million during the same period in 2005. The average rate
earned on the Companys loan balances increased 58 basis points to 7.78% during the first nine
months of 2006 versus 7.20% during the first nine months of 2005. The increase in yield is
consistent with market conditions in the Companys service area.
Interest on investment securities decreased by $98 thousand, as an increase in yield of 38 basis
points was offset by a decline in average investment securities of $14.4 million. Interest earned
on federal funds sold increased by $124 thousand. This item benefited both from an increase in
yield of 92 basis points and an increase in average balances outstanding of $3.4 million.
Interest expense increased $1.8 million to $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2006, up from $3.3 million for the same period in 2005. The increase in interest expense was
primarily attributed to rate increases on time deposits and other interest-bearing deposits and the
increase in the level of and rates paid on the junior subordinated debentures. Partially offsetting
these increases in interest expense was a decrease of $102 thousand in interest from FHLB
borrowings, resulting from a reduction in the level of these borrowings during the 2006 period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, the Companys
average rate paid on time deposits increased 84 basis points to 3.44% from 2.60%. The average rate
paid on all other interest-bearing deposits increased 62 basis points to 1.31% for the first nine
months of 2006 versus 0.69% for the first nine months of 2005 primarily as a result of the
introduction of the Money Fund Plu$ account in September 2005.
Money Fund Plu$ is a high interest bearing checking account designed to pay rates comparable to
those available on a typical brokerage account. Since its introduction, there has been significant
growth in the total Money Fund Plu$ balances with an average balance of $38.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 and total balances as of September 30, 2006 of $47.1 million. The
average rate paid on Money Fund Plu$ accounts during the nine months ending September 30, 2006 was
3.54%.
Adding to interest expense was an increase in the average balance of the junior subordinated
debentures of $4.1 million to $10.3 million and in the average rate paid of 144 basis points from
6.33% to 7.77%.
As a result of the changes noted above, the net interest margin for the nine months ended September
30, 2006 increased 22 basis points, or 4%, to 5.28%, up from 5.06% for the same period in 2005.

Provision for loan losses. The Company recorded $900,000 in provision for loan losses for
each of the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. 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 Companys loan portfolio
composition and non-performing assets are further discussed under the financial condition section
below.
Non-interest income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, total non-interest income
increased $134 thousand, or 4%, to $3.9 million, up from $3.7 million from the comparable period in
2005. This increase was primarily related to an increase in service charges on deposit accounts of
$200 thousand from the previous nine month period. This increase primarily relates to fees from
increased customer usage of deposit account overdrafts privileges, the collection of fees resulting
from those overdrafts and from an increase in the rate charged.
Loan commissions and servicing fees declined by $94 thousand from the 2005 nine month period. This
decline primarily relates to an increase in the amortization of servicing assets and I/O strips
receivable. Declines of $70 thousand in investment services income and $58 thousand related to a
tax refund recorded in 2005 were mostly offset by increases of $28 thousand in earnings on life
insurance policies, $48 thousand in official check fees and $43 thousand related to sales of
repossessed vehicles and other real estate owned.

Non-interest expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, total non-interest expense
increased $398 thousand, or 3%, to $13.3 million, up from $12.9 million for the comparable period
in 2005. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily the result of increases in salaries
and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment costs and other expenses.
Salaries and other employee benefits increased $295 thousand, or 4%, over the same nine-month
period last year. Salaries increased $330 thousand as a result of staffing additions related to
branch administration and the establishment of a customer call and resource center as well as
general salary merit increases. An increase of $165 thousand in employee bonuses and $94 thousand
in employee stock based compensation expense was offset by reductions in workers compensation
costs of $61 thousand, salary continuation costs of $172 thousand and an increase in capitalized
salary costs of $85 thousand related to increased loan origination activities. The decrease in
salary continuation expense relates to non-recurring accruals for the Companys former President
and Chief Executive Officer who retired in December 2005.
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R),
Share Based Payment (SFAS 123 (R)), using the modified prospective application transition method
to record stock based compensation. As a result of adopting SFAS 123 (R), the Company recorded
$94,000 of employee stock based compensation expense and $36,000 of director stock based
compensation expense during the first nine months of 2006. As of September 30, 2006, there was
$295,000 of unrecognized employee compensation costs and $110,000 of unrecognized director
compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements. These costs are
expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $119 thousand to $2.39 million during the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 from $2.27 million during the first nine months of 2005. This increase
included $32 thousand in utilities and $66 thousand in premises depreciation and amortization.
The increase in other expenses was related to an increase in other losses of $54 thousand, from $30
thousand during the 2005 nine month period to $84 thousand for the nine months ended September 30,
2006. These losses primarily relate to a higher level of charge-offs related to overdrafts on
deposit accounts.

Armored car and courier costs decreased $68 thousand, or 25%, as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2005. Courier savings were realized as a result of the Banks implementation of
Check 21. Check 21 is a federal law promoting the transmission of checks electronically between
institutions rather than physically transporting the items.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes was $2.4 million, or 38.1% of income
before provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This compares to
$1.8 million or 36.1% of pre-tax income during the first nine months of 2005. The increase in
provision as a percentage of income before provision for income taxes during 2006 includes the
effect of employee stock based compensation expense which is included in expense during 2006, but
excluded from the calculation of the provision for income taxes and a reduction in the percentage
of tax exempt income as a percentage of income before tax.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
OVERVIEW
The Companys net income increased $148 thousand, or 12%, to $1.4 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2006 from $1.25 million for the same period in 2005. The primary contributor
to the increase in net income for the third quarter of 2006 was a $342 thousand increase in net
interest income. In addition non-interest income increased by $87 thousand primarily as a result
of an increase in service charge income of $154 thousand. Partially offsetting these revenue gains
were increases of $95 thousand in salaries and benefits, $52 thousand in occupancy and equipment
costs, $19 thousand in all other non-interest expense categories and $115 thousand in the provision
for income taxes.
The annualized return on average assets was 1.17% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 up
from 1.07% for the same period in 2005. The annualized return on average equity was 16.2% for the
three months ended September 30, 2006 down from 16.5% for the same period in 2005.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses. Net interest income, on a nontax-equivalent
basis, was $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $342
thousand, or 6%, from $5.4 million for the same period in 2005. The increase in net interest
income was attributed to volume and rate increases in the Companys average loan portfolio
partially offset by increases in rates paid on interest bearing deposits, an increase in the rates
paid on FHLB advances and in the increases in the level of and rates paid on the junior
subordinated debentures.
Interest income increased $927 thousand, or 14%, to $7.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2006. Interest and fees on loans increased by $975 thousand from $5.9 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $6.8 million during the 2006 third quarter. The
increase in interest income was primarily attributed to volume and rate increases in the loan
portfolio. The Companys average loan balances were $344 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2006, up $26 million, or 8%, from the $318 million for the same period in 2005. The
average yield earned on loans increased by 57 basis points from 7.32% during the third quarter of
2005 to 7.89% during the 2006 quarter.
A positive yield variance of 42 basis points on investment securities was offset by a decrease in
the average balance outstanding of $14.6 million, resulting in a decrease of $32 thousand in
interest earned on investment securities.
Interest expense increased $585 thousand, or 46%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2006, up from $1.3 million for the same period in 2005. The increase in interest
expense was primarily attributed to the increase in the level of and rates paid on interest bearing
transaction accounts and the increase in rates paid on time deposits, partially offset by the
decrease in the level of average time deposits. The Company also experienced an increase in the
rates paid on FHLB advances of 179 basis points and rate and volume increases on junior
subordinated debentures. Rates on these debentures increased 130 basis points while the level of
average amounts outstanding increased $4.0 million.
The rate and volume increases in interest expense on deposit accounts, excluding time deposits,
primarily relates to the introduction of the Companys Money Fund Plu$ product in September 2005.
Money Fund Plu$ deposits averaged $48.9 million during the third quarter of 2006 with an average
rate paid of 3.59%. The average rate paid on time deposits increased from 2.92% during the 2005
third quarter to 3.64% during the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
As a result of the changes noted above, the net interest margin for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 increased 20 basis points, or 4%, to 5.34%, up from 5.14% for the same period in
2005.

Provision for loan losses. The Company recorded $300,000 in provision for loan losses for
each of the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. Management assesses its loan quality
monthly to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. The Companys loan portfolio
composition and non-performing assets are further discussed under the financial condition section
below.
Non-interest income. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, total non-interest income
increased by $87 thousand. This increase resulted from a $154 thousand increase in service charges
on deposit accounts. Partially offsetting the increase in service charge income was a $70 thousand
decline in loan commission and servicing fees primarily related to an increase in the amortization
of servicing assets and I/O strips receivable.

Non-interest expenses. Non-interest expense increased by $166 thousand from $4.4 million during
the third quarter of 2005 to $4.6 million during the current quarter. This increase is primarily
related to an increase of $95 thousand in salaries and employee benefits. In addition occupancy
and equipment expense increased by $52 thousand related to increased occupancy costs and outside
service fees increased by $52 thousand.
The increase in salaries and employee benefits included an increase in salary expense of $64
thousand related to higher staffing levels and merit increases, an increase in bonus expense of $81
thousand, a decrease in capitalized loan origination costs of $46 thousand and employee stock based
compensation expense of $31 thousand. These increases in expense were partially offset by a
decrease in salary continuation expense of $104 thousand related to non-recurring accruals for the
Companys former President and Chief Executive Officer who retired in December 2005.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes was $858 thousand, or 38.1% of income
before provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This compares to
$743 thousand or 37.3% of pre-tax income during the third quarter of 2005. The increase in
provision as a percentage of income before provision for income taxes during 2006 includes the
effect of employee stock based compensation expense which is included in expense during 2006, but
excluded from the calculation of the provision for income taxes and a reduction in the percentage
of tax exempt income as a percentage of income before tax.
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 the primary source of repayment. As of
September 30, 2006, agricultural loans increased as a percentage of total loan balances to 10.0%
from 9.7% at December 31, 2005 and real estate construction and land development loans increased to
21.4% of total loan balances from 17.5% at December 31, 2005. This increase is consistent with the
seasonality of these loans. Consumer loan balances as a percentage of total loans increased
slightly to 25.7% from 25.3% at December 31, 2005. The increased percentages in agricultural,
real construction and land development and consumer loan balances were offset with a decline in the
relative percentage of commercial loan balances which were 10.1% at September 30, 2006, down from
13.1% at December 31, 2005 and a decline in the relative percentage of real estate mortgage loans
from 34.4% at December 31, 2005 to 32.7% at September 30, 2006.
Nonperforming assets. Nonperforming loans at September 30, 2006 were $1.0 million, a decrease of
$651 thousand, or 39%, over the $1.7 million balance at December 31, 2005. Nonperforming assets
(which
is comprised of nonperforming loans plus vehicle holdings) at September 30, 2006 were $1.1 million,
a decrease of $653 thousand, or 38%, over the $1.7 million balance at December 31, 2005.
23
Table of Contents
The decrease in both nonperforming loans and assets at September 30, 2006 from December 31, 2005
relates to the reduction in the balance of two nonaccrual SBA loans totaling $704,000. This
reduction includes charge-offs totaling $77,000 with the remaining balance having been collected
through sales of assets or payments from the SBA.
As a result of the above, nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans decreased to 0.29% at
September 30, 2006 from 0.52% at December 31, 2005. In addition, nonperforming assets as a
percentage of total assets also decreased to 0.22% at September 30, 2006 from 0.36% at December 31,
2005.
Analysis of allowance for loan losses. Net charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30,
2006 totaled $251 thousand, or 0.08% of average loans during the period, compared to $333 thousand,
or 0.11% of average loans, for the comparable period in 2005. Net charge-offs during the first
nine months of 2006 were comprised of $475 thousand of charge-offs offset by $224 thousand in
recoveries, compared to $480 thousand of charge-offs offset by $147 thousand in recoveries for the
same period in 2005. The provision for loan losses was $900 thousand for each of the nine month
periods. The allowance for loan losses stood at 1.12% of total loans as of September 30, 2006 up
from 1.01% as of December 31, 2005. 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.
The following table provides certain information for the nine-month period indicated with respect
to the Companys allowance for loan losses as well as charge-off and recovery activity.

Investment securities. Investment securities decreased $17 million to $81 million at
September 30, 2006, down from $98 million at December 31, 2005. The Companys investment in U.S.
Treasury securities as a percentage of the total investment portfolio was 8% at September 30, 2006,
down from 10% at December
24
Table of Contents
31, 2005. The Companys investment in obligations of U.S. agencies
remained relatively unchanged at 64% of the investment portfolio at September 30, 2006 and 66% at
December 31, 2005. Municipal obligations increased to 18% of the investment portfolio at
September 30, 2006, up from 14% at December 31, 2005. Corporate bonds were 10% of the investment
portfolio at both September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The decrease in the overall investment
portfolio resulted from maturities, calls and pay downs that were used to provide funding for loan
growth and liquidity and, to a lesser extent, additional unrealized losses on available for sale
securities.
Premises and equipment. Premises and equipment increased $3.0 million, or 27%, to $14.4 million at
September 30, 2006, from $11.4 million at December 31, 2005. This increase primarily relates to a
$1.2 million purchase of land and a building in Quincy, California to be utilized as a future
administrative office location and costs of $1.5 million for a new branch office in Truckee,
California. As of September 30, 2006 land and construction costs for the Truckee branch have
amounted to $3.8 million. The new branch in Truckee, California was opened during October, 2006.
Deposits. Total deposits were $418 million as of September 30, 2006, a decrease of $9 million, or
2%, from the December 31, 2005 balance of $427 million. The decrease in deposits resulted from a
decline of $7 million in time deposits and $3 million in other interest bearing deposits partially
offset by a $1 million increase in non-interest bearing deposits. The Company continues to manage
the mix of its deposits consistent with its identity as a community bank serving the financial
needs of its customers. As of September 30, 2006, non-interest bearing deposits increased to 31%
of total deposits compared to 30% of total deposits as of December 31, 2005. Time deposits
decreased to 22% of total deposits as of September 30, 2006 versus 23% as of December 31, 2005 and
other interest bearing deposits were 47% of total deposits at both September 30, 2006 and December
30, 2005. While the Company has experienced an overall decline in deposits, its Money Fund Plu$
checking account, introduced in September 2005, has been very successful in generating interest
bearing checking deposits. This account is intended to pay rates comparable to those available on
a typical brokerage account. Since its introduction, there has been significant growth in the
total Money Fund Plu$ balances with an increase of $25.8 million in the first nine months of 2006
and balances at September 30, 2006 of $47.1 million.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances. FHLB advances were $9.5 million as of September 30, 2006. There
were no outstanding advances at December 31, 2005. During the first nine months of 2006 the
Company utilized portions of an established line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank to meet
its short-term liquidity needs. See Liquidity below for a further discussion on available lines
of credit.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Shareholders equity as of September 30, 2006 increased $3.7 million, or 12%, to $34.8 million up
from $31.1 million as of December 31, 2005. This increase was the result of earnings during the
first nine months of 2006 of $3.9 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of
$227 thousand partially offset by dividends paid of $651 thousand. Other less significant changes
affecting total shareholders equity during the first nine months of 2006 included exercise of
stock options and stock based compensation expense.
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 Companys 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 Banks assets, liabilities and certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Companys and the
Banks 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 September 30, 2006.

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 Companys
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 $92 million
from the Federal Home Loan Bank secured by commercial and residential mortgage loans. At
September 30, 2006 the Company had outstanding advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank which
totaled $9.5 million. There were no outstanding advances at December 31, 2005.
Customer deposits are the Companys 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 nine months of 2006, deposits decreased $9 million, or 2%, from the December 31, 2005 balance
of $427 million. The Company has historically experienced a seasonal trend in regards to deposits;
whereas the majority of the Companys annual deposit growth has historically occurred in the late
spring, summer and fall months.
The Companys 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
26
Table of Contents
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
Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys interest earning assets and all of the Companys
interest bearing liabilities, with the exception of the junior subordinated debentures, are located
at the Bank level, virtually all of the Companys 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 Banks real estate loan portfolio, concentrated primarily
within northeastern California, is subject to risks associated with the local economies.
The fundamental objective of the Banks 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 Banks 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 Banks interest rate risk, enabling management to make
any adjustments necessary.
Interest rate risk is managed by the Banks 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 Banks
balance sheet in part to maintain the potential impact on net interest income within acceptable
ranges despite changes in interest rates. The Banks exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on
at least a quarterly basis by ALCO.
In managements opinion there has not been a material change in the Companys market risk or
interest rate risk profile for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to December 31,
2005 as discussed in the Companys 2005 annual report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based on their evaluation
of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the Companys fiscal quarter

Companys disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective for purposes of Rule
13a15(e) in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be
included in the Companys filings with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
