NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. GENERAL
During 2002, Plumas Bancorp (the Company) was incorporated as a bank holding company for the
purpose of acquiring Plumas Bank (the Bank) in a one bank holding company reorganization. This
corporate structure gives the Company and the Bank greater flexibility in terms of operation
expansion and diversification. 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 is a California state-chartered bank that was incorporated in July 1980 and opened for
business in December 1980. The Bank operates thirteen branches in California, including branches in
Alturas, Chester, Fall River Mills, Greenville, Kings Beach, Loyalton, Portola, Quincy, Redding,
Susanville, Tahoe City, Truckee and Westwood. The bank also has commercial lending offices in
Auburn, California and Reno, Nevada. 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, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and its results of operations for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and its cash flows for the nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods
balances to conform to classifications used in 2007.
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
annual 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 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. The results of
operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 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 $92,652,000 and
$101,759,000 and stand-by letters of credit of $403,000 and $564,000 at September 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, respectively.
Of the loan commitments outstanding at September 30, 2007, $25,563,000 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, 2007 or December 31,
2006.

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.

antidilutive effect, were 276,000 and 10,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively and 186,000 and 10,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,

8. INCOME TAXES
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Accounting Standards
Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109. 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 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement standard for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of an income 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. The Company adopted FIN 48
on January 1, 2007.
The Company previously recognized income tax positions based on managements estimate of whether it
is reasonably possible that a liability has been incurred for unrecognized income tax benefits by
applying FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
The provisions of FIN 48 have been applied to all tax positions of the Company as of January 1,
2007. There was no cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 and there was no
significant effect on the Companys provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September
30, 2007. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and
accruals for penalties in income tax expense.

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159 (SFAS 159), The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This standard
permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value at specified election dates. The entity will report unrealized gains and losses on items for
which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The
fair value option: (a) may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as
investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method; (b) is irrevocable (unless a new election
date occurs); and (c) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments.
The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2007. Management did not elect to early adopt SFAS 159 and has not yet
completed its evaluation of the impact that SFAS 159 will have.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 17, 2007, the Company declared a common stock cash dividend of $0.15 per share. The
dividend will be payable on November 16, 2007 to its shareholders of record on November 2, 2007.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
OVERVIEW
The Companys net income declined by $521 thousand, or 13%, to $3.36 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007 from $3.88 million for the same period in 2006. This decline in net
income resulted from an increase in non-interest expense of $1.1 million and a decline in net
interest income of $300 thousand which were partially offset by an increase in non-interest income
of $142 thousand and decreases in the provision for loan losses of $400 thousand and the provision
for income taxes of $337 thousand. The increase in non-interest expense included an increase of
$776 thousand in salaries and employee benefit expense and $272 thousand in occupancy and equipment
costs.
Total assets declined $3.5 million from $473.2 million at December 31, 2006 to $469.7 million at
September 30, 2007. Net loans declined by $2.7 million from $352.0 million at December 31, 2006 to
$349.3 million at September 30, 2007. A decline of $12.5 million in investment securities and an
increase of $14.6 million in deposits provided funding to repay short-term borrowings which
declined by $20 million with the excess funds invested in federal funds sold which increased by
$8.0 million. Total shareholders equity increased by $1.8 million from $35.8 million at December
31, 2006 to $37.6 million at September 30, 2007.
The annualized return on average assets was 0.96% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 down
from 1.11% for the same period in 2006. The annualized return on average equity was 12.2% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 down from 15.7% for the same period in 2006.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses. Net interest income, on a nontax-equivalent
basis, was $16.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $300 thousand,
or 2%, from $16.7 million for the same period in 2006. The decrease in net interest income was
primarily attributed to increases in both the rates paid and average balances of the Companys time
certificates of deposit and an increase in the average balance of short-term borrowings. This
increase in interest expense was mostly offset by an increase in interest income related to an
increase in average loans outstanding and an increase in the yield on those loans.
Interest income increased $1.1 million, or 5%, to $22.8 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2007. Interest and fees on loans increased by $1.7 million from $19.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 to $20.9 million during the current nine month period. The
Companys average loan balances were $354 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, up
$24 million, or 7%, from the $330 million during the same period in 2006. The average rate earned
on the Companys loan balances increased 11 basis points to 7.89% during the first nine months of
2007 versus 7.78% during the first nine months of 2006. The increase in yield reflects the
continued effect of the Companys decision to decrease the level of auto dealer loans which
generally yield significantly less than other loans in the Companys loan portfolio.
Interest on investment securities decreased by $527 thousand, as an increase in yield of 19 basis
points was offset by a decline in average investment securities of $23.2 million. Interest earned
on federal funds sold declined by $67 thousand. Average federal funds sold were $2.4 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007, a decline of $2.3 million from $4.7 million outstanding
during the same period in 2006. This decline in average balance was partially offset by an
increase in yield from 4.51% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 5.10% during the
current nine month period.
Interest expense increased $1.4 million to $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2007, up from $5.1 million for the same period in 2006. This increase includes $1.4 million in
interest on time deposits and a $357 thousand increase in interest expense on short-term
borrowings. The Company has experienced increases in the average balance of its time deposits but
declines in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts, NOW, savings and money market accounts.
We continue to experience significant competition for deposits from both banking and non-banking
sources. Rather than increasing the rate paid on our lower yielding interest bearing transaction
and money market accounts to attract deposits and thereby increasing the rate paid on the entire
balance of these accounts, the Company has chosen to fund loan growth through increases in its
level of short-term time deposits and to a lesser extent through short-term borrowings. This has
resulted in an increase in both the volume and rate components of time deposit interest expense and
the volume variance of short-term borrowings.
12
Table of Contents
Average NOW account balances decreased by $2.2 million and the average rate paid decreased by 2
basis points. Included in average NOW accounts are Money Fund Plu$ balances. Money Fund Plu$ is a
high interest bearing checking account designed to pay rates comparable to those available on a
typical brokerage account. Average Money Fund Plu$ accounts were $41.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007 compared to $38.9 million during the first nine months of 2006. The
average rate paid on Money Fund Plu$ accounts declined from 3.54% during the 2006 period to 3.23%
during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The effect of the decrease in the average rate
paid on Money Fund Plu$ balances on the average rate paid on NOW accounts was offset by an increase
in Money Fund Plu$ account balances as a percentage of total NOW account balances.
The increase in the average rate paid on time deposits and the decrease in lower rate deposit
sources as a percentage of total interest-bearing deposits has resulted in an increase in the
average rate paid on the Companys interest bearing deposits of 49 basis points from 1.99% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 2.48% for the current nine month period. The average rate
paid on time deposits increased 88 basis points from 3.44% during the nine months ended September
30, 2006 to 4.32% during the current nine month period. This increase includes an increase in
market rates in the Companys service area and the effect of a promotional certificate of deposit
program introduced during the fourth quarter of 2006. The average rate paid on promotional
certificate of deposits during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was 5.12% and the average
balance was $39 million. This product provides a higher rate of return for our more interest rate
sensitive customers, whose deposits we may have lost to competition, while providing a highly
competitive rate to attract new deposits.
Interest expense on money market and savings accounts declined by $397 thousand related to both a
decline in the average rate paid on these accounts and a decline in the average balance. Interest
on short-term borrowings increased primarily as a result of an increase in average borrowings.
Interest expense paid on junior subordinated debentures fluctuates with changes in the 3-month
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rate which increased during the comparison period resulting
in an increase of $28 thousand on these borrowings.
As a result of the changes noted above, the net interest margin for the nine months ended September
30, 2007 decreased slightly by 8 basis points to 5.20%, from 5.28% for the same period in 2006.

Provision for loan losses. The Company recorded $500 thousand in provision for loan losses for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 and $900 thousand for the nine months ended September 30,
2006. 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, 2007, total non-interest income
increased $142 thousand, or 4%, to $4.0 million, up from $3.9 million from the comparable period in
2006. This increase was primarily related to a $50 thousand increase in gains on sales of loans, a
$49 thousand increase in investment services income and a $48 thousand increase in loan commissions
and serving fees. Loan serving income was lower in the 2006 period related to an increase in the
amortization of servicing assets and I/O strips receivable. Investment services income has
benefited in 2007 from the hiring of an investment services manager, while the gain on sale of
loans varies year to year based on the volume of loan sales. Gains on sales of loans have not been
a significant source of non-interest income for the Company; however with the hiring of a full time
government guaranteed lender in 2007 we anticipate that income from this source will increase in
2008.

Non-interest expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, total non-interest expense
increased $1.1 million, or 8%, to $14.4 million, up from $13.3 million for the comparable
period in 2006. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily the result of increases in
salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment costs and outside service fees.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $776 thousand, or 11%, over the same nine-month period
last year. Salaries costs increased by $575 thousand which included annual merit increases as well
as additional employees primarily related to the Companys Reno, Nevada commercial real estate loan
office, its recently opened Redding, California branch, its expanded Truckee, California branch
and administration staffing.
During the fourth quarter of 2006 the Company completed construction and opened a new Bank branch
in Truckee, California. This replaced a much smaller leased facility. Also in the fourth quarter
of 2006 we opened a commercial real estate loan office in Reno, Nevada. During the second quarter
of 2007 we opened a new Bank branch in Redding, California in a temporary location. Of the total
increase of $575 in salary expense, $321 thousand relates to the Reno and Redding offices or 56% of
the increase.
Another significant component of the increase in salaries and employee benefits was a $422 thousand
reduction in the deferral of loan origination costs. The largest component of this decrease was
related to a reduction in the origination volume of consumer auto loans. From 2004 through most of
2006 the Company had been aggressive in seeking out dealer auto loans. Beginning in late 2006 and
continuing into 2007 we began to deemphasize our auto lending activities. In April 2007 the head of
the Companys auto lending department resigned and shortly thereafter the Company discontinued its
dealer-lending program.
Stock-based compensation expense, included in salary and employee benefits, increased by $75
thousand from $94 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $169 thousand during
the current nine-month period.
16
Table of Contents
These increases in salary and employee benefit expense were partially offset by a decrease in bonus
expense of $387 thousand related primarily to a reduction in net income during the 2007 nine-month
period. A large portion of the Companys bonus plan is based on the level of net income and items
directly influenced by the level of net income including return on average equity, return on
average assets and earnings per share.
The increase of $272 thousand in occupancy and equipment includes an increase in operating expenses
of $155 thousand related to the new Truckee branch, $36 thousand in costs at our new Reno lending
office and costs of $41 thousand related to the new Redding branch. Outside services increased by
$44 thousand primarily related to increases in ATM processing costs which were offset by an
increase in ATM income.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes was $2.1 million, or 38.0% of income
before provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This compares to
$2.4 million or 38.1% of pre-tax income during the first nine months of 2006.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
OVERVIEW
Net Income. Net income decreased by $118 thousand, or 8.5% from $1.4 million during the third
quarter of 2006 to $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007. This decrease in
net income included a $293 thousand decline in net interest income and a $181 thousand increase in
non-interest expense, partially offset by decreases of $175 thousand in the provision for loan
losses and $69 thousand in the provision for income taxes and an increase of $112 thousand in
non-interest income.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses. Net interest income, on a nontax-equivalent
basis, was $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $293 thousand,
or 5%, from $5.7 million for the same period in 2006. The decline in net interest income was
primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense of $261 thousand attributable to both
volume and rate increases in time deposits.
17
Table of Contents
Interest income declined slightly by $32 thousand as an increase in interest and fees on loans and
interest on federal funds sold was offset by a decline in interest on investment securities.
Interest and fees on loans increased by $61 thousand from $6.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 to $6.9 million during the 2007 third quarter. The Companys average loan
balances were $350 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, up $6 million, or 2%,
from the $344 million for the same period in 2006. The average yield earned on loans decreased by
6 basis points from 7.89% during the third quarter of 2006 to 7.83% during the 2007 quarter.
A 26 basis points increase in yield on investment securities was offset by a decrease of $22
million in the average balance outstanding resulting in a decrease of $162 thousand in interest
earned on investment securities. Interest on federal funds sold increased by $69 thousand related
to an increase in the average balance outstanding.
Interest expense increased $261 thousand, or 14%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2007, up from $1.9 million for the same period in 2006. This increase includes $584
thousand in interest on time deposits partially offset by declines in both the volume and rate
components of interest expense on NOW, money market and savings deposits as the mix of deposits
shifted from these accounts to time deposits.
The Company has experienced declines in lower rate deposit sources such as its non interest and
interest-bearing transaction accounts, money market accounts, and savings accounts. To offset
these declines the Company has increased the level of short-term time deposits.
The average rate paid on time deposits increased 80 basis points from 3.64% during the three months
ended September 30, 2006 to 4.44% during the third quarter of 2007. Average time deposits
outstanding increased from $91 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 to $126 million
during the current quarter. The increase in time deposits outstanding as well as the increase in
average rate paid on time deposits relates to the introduction of a promotional certificate of
deposit program during the fourth quarter of 2006. The average rate paid on promotional
certificate of deposits during the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 5.11% and the average
balance during the three-month period was $55 million.
The average balance of short-term borrowings decreased from $5.1 million during the third quarter
of 2006 to $2.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007. The average rate paid on
these borrowings decreased by 24 basis points to 5.09% during the quarter ended September 30, 2007,
down from 5.33% during the third quarter of 2006.
As a result of the changes noted above, the net interest margin for the three months ended
September 30, 2007 decreased 14 basis points, or 3%, to 5.20%, from 5.34% for the same period in
2006.

Provision for loan losses. The Company recorded $125 thousand in provision for loan losses for the
three months ended September 30, 2007 and $300 thousand during the quarter ended September 30,
2006. 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, 2007, total non-interest income
increased by $112 thousand or 8.5%, to $1.4 million, up from $1.3 million from the comparable
quarter in 2006. This increase resulted from a $64 thousand increase in service charges on deposit
accounts and an increase of $53 thousand in loan commission and servicing fees. Loan commission
and servicing fees were lower in the 2006 quarter related to an increase in the amortization of
servicing assets and I/O strips receivable.

Non-interest expenses. Non-interest expense increased by $181 thousand from $4.5 million during
the third quarter of 2006 to $4.7 million during the current quarter. Consistent with the nine
month comparison the increase in non-interest expense relates primarily to increases in salaries
and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment costs.
Salaries and employee benefits increased by $175 thousand to $2.7 million for the third quarter of
2007 compared to $2.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2006. This increase
included an increase in salary expense of $156 thousand, a reduction in the deferral of loan
origination fees of $186 thousand and an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $33
thousand. These items were partially offset by a decrease in bonus expense of $225 thousand
primarily related to the reduction in net income as discussed above.
Salary expense included $142 thousand in salaries related to the new Reno commercial real estate
lending office and the new Redding branch. The deferral of loan origination costs is primarily
related to a reduction in the volume of consumer auto loans. Stock based compensation expense,
included in salaries and related benefits, increased by $33 thousand from $31 thousand during the
three months ended September 30, 2006 to $64 thousand during the current three-month period.
The increase in occupancy and equipment primarily relates to our recently opened Redding branch,
and an increase in costs at the Truckee branch.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes was $789 thousand, or 38.2% of income
before provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2007. This compares to
$858 thousand or 38.1% of pre-tax income during the third quarter of 2006.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Loan portfolio. Net loans declined slightly from $352 million at December 31, 2006 to $349
million at September 30, 2007. The Company continues to manage the composition of its loan
portfolio consistent with its identity as a community bank serving the financing needs of all
sectors of the area it serves. 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. The
composition of the Companys loan portfolio has remained relatively consistent from December 31,
2006. Real estate mortgage loans increased to 34% of total gross loans at September 30, 2007 from
33% at December 31, 2006. Agricultural loans increased to 11% of total gross loans at September
30, 2007 up from 10% at December 31, 2006. Consumer loans declined to 22% of total gross loans
from 26% at December 31, 2006. Commercial and real estate construction loans were 10% and 23%,
respectively of total gross loans at September 30, 2007, this compares to 10% and 21% respectively,
at December 31, 2006.
The Company expects the level of consumer loans to continue to decline in the future. From 2004
through most of 2006 the Company had been aggressive in seeking out dealer auto loans. Beginning
in late 2006 and continuing into 2007 we began to deemphasize our auto lending activities. In April
2007 the head of the Companys auto lending department resigned. The Company will not replace this
position and has discontinued its dealer loan program. It is our expectation that the payoffs from
our auto loan portfolio can be utilized to provide funding for other higher yielding loans.

Table of Contents
Nonperforming assets. Nonperforming loans at September 30, 2007 were $2.7 million, an increase of
$1.7 million over the $1.0 million balance at December 31, 2006. Nonperforming assets (which is
comprised of nonperforming loans plus repossessed vehicles and foreclosed real estate) at September
30, 2007 were $3.0 million, an increase of $1.9 million over the $1.1 million balance at December
31, 2006. The increase in nonperforming loans primarily relates to an increase of $1.6 million in
nonaccrual loans. The increase in nonperforming assets includes the increase in nonperforming loans
as well as foreclosed real estate of $182 thousand at September 30, 2007. There was no foreclosed
real estate at December 31, 2006. In addition repossessed vehicles at September 30, 2007 totaled
$69 thousand compared to $47 thousand at December 31, 2006.
Nonaccrual loans are predominately well secured and the Company does not anticipate any significant
losses associated with its nonaccrual loans as of September 30, 2007.
Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans increased to 0.78% at September 30, 2007 up from
0.29% at December 31, 2006. In addition, nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets
increased to 0.64% at September 30, 2007 up from 0.22% at December 31, 2006.
Analysis of allowance for loan losses. Net charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30,
2007 totaled $290 thousand, or 0.08% of average loans, compared to $251 thousand, or 0.08% of
average loans, for the comparable period in 2006. Net charge-offs during the first nine months of
2007 were comprised of $516 thousand of charge-offs offset by $226 thousand in recoveries, compared
to $475 thousand of charge-offs offset by $224 thousand in recoveries for the same period in 2006.
The allowance for loan losses was 1.17% of total loans as of September 30, 2007 up from 1.10% as of
December 31, 2006. 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 $12.5 million to $62.3 million at September
30, 2007, down from $74.8 million at December 31, 2006. The investment portfolio balances in U.S.
Treasuries, U.S. Government agencies, corporate debt securities and municipal obligations comprised
9%, 60%, 9% and 22%, respectively, of the Companys investment portfolio at September 30, 2007
versus 7%, 64%, 10%, and 19% at December 31, 2006. The decrease in the overall investment
portfolio resulted from maturities, calls and pay downs that were used to reduce short-term
borrowings, provide funding for loan growth and other liquidity needs partially offset by the
reinvestment of $11 million in U.S. Government agency securities.
Premises and equipment. Primarily as a result of depreciation expense in excess of additions
during the nine month period, premises and equipment decreased by $391 thousand from $15.2 million
at December 31, 2006 to $14.8 million at September 30, 2007.
Deposits. Total deposits were $417 million as of September 30, 2007, an increase of $15 million,
or 4%, from the December 31, 2006 balance of $402 million. Declines in non-interest bearing demand
deposits, interest bearing transaction accounts, money market and savings deposits were offset by
an increase of $31 million in time deposits. The increase in time deposits relates to a
promotional certificate of deposit program which the Company began offering during the fourth
quarter of 2006. At September 30, 2007 we had $64 million in promotional certificates of deposit
with an average rate paid, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, of 5.12%.
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. Time deposits increased to 32% of total deposits
as of September 30, 2007 up from 25% as of December 31, 2006. Non-interest bearing demand deposits
decreased to 29% of total deposits at September 30, 2007 down from 30% at December 31, 2006.
Interest bearing transaction accounts decreased to 18% of total deposits at September 30, 2007,
down from 20% at December 31, 2006. Money market and savings deposits decreased to 21% of total
deposits at September 30, 2007 down from 25% at December 31, 2006.
Short-term borrowings. There were no short-term borrowings at September 30, 2007. Short-term
borrowings at December 31, 2006 consisted of $20 million in overnight Federal Home Loan Bank
(FHLB) advances.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Shareholders equity as of September 30, 2007 increased $1.8 million, or 5%, to $37.6 million up
from $35.8 million as of December 31, 2006. This increase was the result of earnings during the
first nine months of 2007 of $3.4 million, $209 thousand in stock-based compensation expense and a
decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $367 thousand, offset by $1.5 million of
repurchased Plumas Bancorp stock under the Companys stock buy back plan and cash dividends of $0.7
million.
On January 22, 2007 the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a common stock
repurchase plan. The plan calls for the repurchase of up to 250,000 shares, or approximately 5%, of
the Companys shares outstanding as of January 22, 2007. During the nine months ended September 30,
2007 the Company repurchased 97,730 shares at an average cost, including commission, of $14.84 per
share.
On May 14, 2007 the Company paid a semi-annual cash dividend of $0.15 per share compared to $0.13
per share paid on May 15, 2006. On October 17, 2007, the Company declared a semi-annual common
stock cash dividend of $0.15 per share. The dividend is payable on November 16, 2007 to its
shareholders of record on November 2, 2007. This also represents a $0.02 increase from the
semi-annual common stock cash dividend of $0.13 per share paid November 24, 2006.
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.
24
Table of Contents
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, 2007.
The following table presents the Companys and the Banks capital ratios as of September 30, 2007

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, 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, agency securities and corporate bonds 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 $97 million
from the Federal Home Loan Bank secured by commercial and residential mortgage loans. At September
30, 2007 the Company had no outstanding borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank or from its
correspondent banks.
Customer deposits are the Companys primary source of funds. Those funds are held in various types
of accounts with varying maturities. The Company currently does not hold brokered deposits.
Deposit growth continues to present challenges in the current interest rate environment, with
significant competition from both banking and non-banking sources. During the first nine months of
2007, deposits increased by $15 million to $417 million up from the December 31, 2006 balance of
$402 million. This increase is related to an increase in time certificates of deposits. The Company
has historically experienced a seasonal trend in regards to deposits; whereas the majority of the
Companys annual deposit growth has typically occurred in the late spring, summer and fall months.

The Companys investment securities classified as available-for -sale, cash and due from banks and
short-term borrowings from correspondent banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank serve as 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 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, other than those which possess a short term to
maturity. Based upon the nature of its operations, the Company is not subject to foreign currency
exchange or commodity price risk. However, 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 Companys 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 using
floating rate loans and deposits, maturities, pricing and mix to attempt to neutralize the
potential impact of changes in market interest rates. The Companys 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, trust preferred securities and other borrowings. The Company, 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 Company
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 Company 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
Company has adopted formal policies and practices to monitor and manage interest rate risk
exposure. As part of this effort, the Company measures interest rate risk utilizing both an
internal asset liability management system as well as employing independent third party reviews to
confirm the reasonableness of the assumptions used to measure and report the Companys interest
rate risk, enabling management to make any adjustments necessary.
Interest rate risk is managed by the Companys Asset Liability Committee (ALCO), which includes
members of senior management. The ALCO monitors interest rate risk by analyzing the potential
impact on 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 Companys
balance sheet in part to maintain the potential impact on net interest income within acceptable
ranges despite changes in interest rates. The Companys 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, 2007 compared to December 31,
2006 as discussed in the Companys 2006 annual report on Form 10-K.
