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 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 (Trust I) for the sole
purpose of issuing trust preferred securities on September 26, 2002. The Company formed Plumas
Statutory Trust II (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 twelve branches in California, including branches in
Alturas, Chester, Fall River Mills, Greenville, Kings Beach, Loyalton, Portola, Quincy, Susanville,
Tahoe City, Truckee and Westwood. The bank also has a commercial lending office in 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 March
31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 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
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 periods ended March 31, 2007 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 $100,391,000 and
$101,759,000 and stand-by letters of credit of $508,000 and $564,000 at March 31, 2007 and December
31, 2006, respectively.
Of the loan commitments outstanding at March 31, 2007, $27,810,000 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 March 31, 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.

There were 170,700 stock options during the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, 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 period ended March 31, 2006 considered to be
antidilutive.
6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Total comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 totaled $1,097,000
and $1,076,000, respectively. Comprehensive income is comprised of unrealized gains (losses), net
of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities, which were $149,000 and $(99,000) for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, together with net income.
At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, accumulated other comprehensive loss totaled $543,000 and
$692,000, respectively, and is reflected, net of taxes, as a component of shareholders equity.
7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In 2001 and 1991, the Company established Stock Option Plans for which 897,110 shares of common
stock remain reserved for issuance to employees and directors and 459,337 shares are available for
future grants under incentive and nonstatutory agreements as of March 31, 2007. The
Company granted 155,700 and 2,500 options in the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006
respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $4.53 and $4.60 respectively. Compensation cost
related to stock options recognized in operating results under SFAS No. 123R was $53,000 and
$43,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The associated future
income tax benefit recognized was $6,000 and $5,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively.

The total intrinsic value of options (which is the amount by which the stock price exceeded the
exercise price of the options on the date of exercise) exercised during the three months ended
March 31, 2007 was $80,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the amount of cash
received from the exercise of stock options was $17,000.
At March 31, 2007, there was $886,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested
stock option awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.4 years.
The total fair value of options vested during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $6,000.
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 has adopted FIN
48 as of 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
material effect on the Companys provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31,
2007. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and accruals
for penalties in income tax expense.

9. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
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 April 18, 2007, the Company declared a common stock cash dividend of $0.15 per share. The
dividend will be payable on May 15, 2007 to its shareholders of record on April 30, 2007.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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 (the Company).
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.

OVERVIEW
The Companys net income decreased $227 thousand, or 19%, to $948 thousand for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 from $1,175 thousand for the same period in 2006. An increase of $96 thousand
in net interest income, a $61 thousand increase in non-interest income and decreases of $50
thousand in the provision for loan losses and $166 thousand in the provision for income taxes were
offset by an increase of $600 thousand in non-interest expenses, primarily in salaries and benefits
and occupancy and equipment.
Total assets at March 31, 2007 were $472 million, a slight decrease of $1 million from the $473
million at December 31, 2006. A decrease in investment securities of $7.9 million, primarily
related to anticipated maturities during the first quarter of 2007, was available to fund an
increase of $5.5 million in net loans. Deposits increased by $3.2 million, or less than 1%, to $405
million at March 31, 2007 from $402 million at December 31, 2006. An increase of $15 million in
time deposits offset decreases in other categories of deposits. As a result of the increase in
deposits and maturities of the investment securities, the Company was also able to reduce its
short-term borrowings by $5.2 million from $20 million at December 31, 2006 to $14.8 million at
March 31, 2007.
The annualized return on average assets was 0.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 down
from 1.02% for the same period in 2006. The annualized return on average equity was 10.5% for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 down from 14.8% for the same period in 2006.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007
Net interest income before provision for loan losses. Net interest income, on a nontax-equivalent
basis, was $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $96 thousand, or
2%, from $5.4 million for the same period in 2006. The increase in net interest income can be
primarily attributed to increases in the Companys average loan balances and average loan yield,
mostly offset by decreases in average investment securities and average federal funds sold and the
change in mix of and increase in the cost of average interest bearing liabilities. Net interest
margin for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased 10 basis points, or 2%, to 5.24%, up
from 5.14% for the same period in 2006.
Interest income increased $621 thousand or 9%, to $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31,
2007 primarily as a result of the volume and rate increases in loan balances. Interest and fees on
loans increased $901 thousand to $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared
to $6.0 million during the first quarter of 2006. The Companys average loan balances were $354
million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, up $32.5 million, or 10%, from the $321 million
for the same period in 2006. The average rate earned on the Companys loan balances increased 34
basis points to 7.92% during the first three months of 2007 compared to 7.58% during the first
three months of 2006. The Company experienced a decline of $165 thousand in interest on investment
securities and $115 thousand in interest on federal funds sold primarily related to a decline in
the average balance of these assets.
Primarily related to an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, interest expense
increased $525 thousand, or 34%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, up from
$1.6 million for the same period in 2006. Consistent with market conditions in the Companys
service area, the Company has experienced a change in the mix of its deposit accounts from the
first quarter of 2006, with growth in higher rate time and Money Fund Plu$ accounts and decreases
in accounts offering lower rates such as the Companys money market and savings accounts and
non-interest bearing demand deposits. Money Fund Plu$ is a high interest bearing checking account
designed to pay rates comparable to those available on a typical brokerage account.
This change in mix and an increase in the average rate paid on time deposits has resulted in an
increase in the average rate paid on the Companys interest bearing deposits of 52 basis points
from 1.85% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to 2.37% for the first current quarter of 2007 and
an increase in interest expense on deposits of $314 thousand. The average rate paid on time
deposits increased from 3.26% during the three months ended March 31, 2006 to 4.16% during the
first quarter of 2007. This increase includes an increase in market rates in the Companys service
area and the effect of a promotional 5-month certificate of deposit introduced during the fourth
quarter of 2006. The average rate paid on this
promotional certificate of deposit during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was 5.11% and the
average balance was $22.5 million.

Table of Contents
The remaining increase in interest expense relates to an increase in short-term borrowings and
rates paid on trust preferred securities. The Company had average short-term borrowings of $14.1
million with an average cost of 5.37% during the first quarter of 2007. There were no short-term
borrowings outstanding during the first quarter of 2006. The average rate paid on the Companys
trust preferred securities (junior subordinated debentures) increased 90 basis points to 8.1% for
the three months ended March 31, 2007 from 7.2% during the first quarter of 2006. The rate on the
trust preferred securities is tied to the LIBOR rate and will increase/decrease with
increases/decreases in LIBOR.
The following table presents for the three-month periods indicated the distribution of consolidated
average assets, liabilities and shareholders equity. It also presents the amounts of interest
income from interest-earning assets and the resultant annualized yields expressed in both dollars
and annualized yield percentages, as well as the amounts of interest expense on interest-bearing
liabilities and the resultant cost expressed in both dollars and annualized rate percentages.
Average balances are based on daily averages. Nonaccrual loans are included in the calculation of
average loans while nonaccrued interest thereon is excluded from the computation of yields earned:

Provision for loan losses. The Company recorded $250,000 in provision for loan losses for the
quarter ended March 31, 2007 and $300,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 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 probable losses 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 three months ended March 31, 2007 non-interest income increased by
$61 thousand to $1.3 million, from $1.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The
Company had increases in gains on sale of loans of $31 thousand, investment services income
increased by $30 thousand and the Company recorded gains on the sale of repossessed vehicles of $20
thousand. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of $32 thousand in miscellaneous
other income.

Non-interest expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, total non-interest expense
increased $600 thousand, or 14%, to $5.0 million, up from $4.4 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 professional fees.
Salaries and other employee benefits increased $291 thousand, or 11%, over the same three-month
period last year. Salaries costs increased by $227 thousand which included annual merit increases
as well as additional employees primarily related to the Companys Reno, Nevada loan production
office, its expanded Truckee, California branch and administration staffing including additions to
the accounting and human resource departments. During the fourth quarter of 2006 the Company
completed construction and opened a new Bank owned 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. The other significant component of the increase in salaries
and employee benefits was a $52 thousand reduction in the deferral of loan origination costs
primarily related to a reduction in the volume of consumer loans.
The increase in occupancy and equipment includes $78 thousand related to the new Truckee branch and
$14 thousand related to the Reno loan production office. The increase in professional fees
primarily relates to an outside evaluation of our core banking software requirements. The Company
is reaching the capacity of its current software and is evaluating alternatives; however it is not
anticipated than any changes will be made during the current year.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes was $552 thousand, or 36.8% of pre-tax
income for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This compares to $718 thousand or 37.9% of
pre-tax income during the first three months of 2006. The decrease of 1.1% includes the effect of
an increase, during the 2007 quarter, in the percentage of tax-exempt income as a percentage of
pre-tax income.
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 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 unchanged from December 31, 2006. Real estate
mortgage loans increased to 34% of total gross loans at March 31, 2007 from 33% at December 31,
2006. Consumer loans declined to 25% of total gross loans from 26% at December 31, 2006.
Commercial, agricultural and real estate construction loans were 10%, 10% and 21%, respectively of
total gross loans at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
The Company expects the level of consumer loans to continue to decline in the future. Over the past
three years, to fully utilize available deposits and build our consumer loan portfolio, 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. Recently, the head of the Companys auto
lending department resigned. The Company does not expect to replace this position. It is our
expectation that the payoffs from our auto loan portfolio can be replaced by other, higher
yielding, loans.

Table of Contents
Nonperforming assets. Nonperforming loans at March 31, 2007 were $1,072 thousand, an increase of
$59 thousand over the $1,013 thousand balance at December 31, 2006. Nonperforming assets (which is
comprised of nonperforming loans plus repossessed vehicle holdings) at March 31, 2007 were $1,144
thousand, an increase of $84 thousand over the $1,060 thousand balance at December 31, 2006.
Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans increased slightly to 0.30% at March 31, 2007 up
from 0.29% at December 31, 2006. In addition, nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets
also increased to 0.24% at March 31, 2007 up from 0.22% at December 31, 2006.
Analysis of allowance for loan losses. Net charge-offs during the three months ended March 31,
2007 totaled $17 thousand, or less than 0.01% of average loans, compared to $120 thousand, or 0.04%
of average loans, for the comparable period in 2006. Net charge-offs during the first three months
of 2007 were comprised of $134 thousand of charge-offs offset by $117 thousand in recoveries,
compared to $175 thousand of charge-offs offset by $55 thousand in recoveries for the same period
in 2006. The allowance for loan losses was 1.15% of total loans as of March 31, 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 three-month period indicated with respect
to the Companys allowance for loan losses as well as charge-off and recovery activity, in

Investment securities. Investment securities decreased $8 million to $67 million at March 31,
2007, down from $75 million at December 31, 2006. The investment portfolio balances in U.S.
Treasuries, U.S. Government agencies, corporate debt securities and municipal obligations comprised
8%, 61%, 10% and 21%, respectively, of the Companys investment portfolio at March 31, 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 provide funding for loan growth and
liquidity.

Table of Contents
Premises and equipment. Premises and equipment decreased by $37 thousand from $15.19 million at
December 31, 2006 to $15.15 million at March 31, 2007.
Deposits. Total deposits were $405 million as of March 31, 2007, a slight increase of $3.2
million, or 0.8%, 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 in time deposits. The increase in time deposits primarily relates to a
promotional 5 month certificate of deposit. At March 31, 2007 we had $33 million in this
promotional certificate of deposit with an average rate paid, during the quarter ended March 31,
2007, of 5.11%.
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 29% of total deposits
as of March 31, 2007 up from 25% as of December 31, 2006. Non-interest bearing demand deposits
decreased to 28% of total deposits at March 31, 2007 down from 30% at December 31, 2006. Interest
bearing transaction accounts decreased to 19% of total deposits at March 31, 2007, down from 20% at
December 31, 2006. Money market and savings deposits decreased slightly to 24% of total deposits
at March 31, 2007 from 25% at December 31, 2006.
Short-term borrowings. Short-term borrowings at March 31, 2007 consisted of $14,800,000 in one day
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances, a decline of $5,200,000 from the $20,000,000 balance in
FHLB advances outstanding at December 31, 2006. The rate paid on short-term borrowings at March 31,
2007 was 5.59%.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Shareholders equity as of March 31, 2007 increased $677 thousand, or 1.9%, to $36.5 million up
from $35.9 million as of December 31, 2006. This increase was the result of earnings during the
first quarter of 2007 of $948 thousand million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive
loss of $149 thousand, partially offset by the repurchase of stock under the Companys stock buy
back plan.
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 first quarter of 2007 the
Company repurchased 29,500 shares at an average cost, including commission, of $16.60 per share for
a total cost of $490 thousand.
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 March 31, 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 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, agency securities and corporate bonds that are not classified as held-to-maturity. 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 $93 million
from the Federal Home Loan Bank secured by commercial and residential mortgage loans. At March 31,
2007 the Company had outstanding borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of $14.8 million and no
outstanding borrowings 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 accept brokered deposits.
During the first quarter of 2007, deposits increased $3.2 million, or 0.8%, from the December 31,
2006 balance of $402 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.

Table of Contents
The Companys investment securities not classified as held-to-maturity, 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
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 three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006
as discussed in the Companys 2006 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
ended March 31, 2007 (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a15(e), have concluded that the 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.
There were no significant changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting or in
other factors that could significantly affect internal controls that occurred during the Companys
fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
