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 Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to applicable legal limits. The Bank’s primary source of revenue is generated from providing loans to customers who are predominately small and middle market businesses and individuals residing in the surrounding areas.
2. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Plumas Bank. Plumas Statutory Trust I and Plumas Statutory Trust II are not consolidated into the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 period’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s management, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or result of operations of the Company taken as a whole.
In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding commitments to extend credit, which are not reflected, in the financial statements, including loan commitments of $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 Company’s 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.
                 
    For the Three Months
    Ended March 31,
    2007   2006
Earnings Per Share:
               
Basic earnings per share
  $ 0.19     $ 0.24  
Diluted earnings per share
  $ 0.19     $ 0.23  
Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding:
(in thousands)
               
Basic shares
    5,012       4,988  
Diluted shares
    5,071       5,091  
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.

    255,464     $ 15.33       7.6     $ 172  
 
                               
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 Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s 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 management’s 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 Company’s 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 entity’s 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.

OVERVIEW
The Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 $1.6 million for the same period in 2006. Consistent with market conditions in the Company’s service area, the Company has experienced a change in the mix of its deposit accounts from the first quarter of 2006, with growth in higher rate time and Money Fund Plu$ accounts and decreases in accounts offering lower rates such as the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

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 Company’s 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.

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 Company’s loan portfolio composition and non-performing assets are further discussed under the financial condition section below.
Non-interest income. During the three months ended 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

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 Company’s allowance for loan losses as well as charge-off and recovery activity, in thousands:

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 Company’s 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.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Each of these components is defined in the regulations. Management believes that the Company met all its capital adequacy requirements and that the Bank met the requirements to be considered well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action as of 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 Company’s liquidity needs are managed using assets or liabilities, or both. On the asset side the Company maintains cash and due from banks along with an investment portfolio containing U.S. government securities, 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 Company’s 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 Company’s annual deposit growth has historically occurred in the late spring, summer and fall months.

The Company’s 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 Company’s available sources of funds, including short-term borrowings, will provide adequate liquidity for its operations in the foreseeable future.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices such as interest rates, commodity prices and equity prices. As a financial institution, the Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk exposure. Fluctuation in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, 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 Bank’s real estate loan portfolio, concentrated primarily within northeastern California, is subject to risks associated with the local economies.
The fundamental objective of the Company’s management of its assets and liabilities is to maximize the economic value of the Company while maintaining adequate liquidity and an exposure to interest rate risk deemed by management to be acceptable. Management believes an acceptable degree of exposure to interest rate risk results from the management of assets and liabilities through using floating rate loans and deposits, maturities, pricing and mix to attempt to neutralize the potential impact of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s profitability is dependent to a large extent upon its net interest income which is the difference between its interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and its interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits, 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 Company’s interest rate risk, enabling management to make any adjustments necessary.
Interest rate risk is managed by the Company’s 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 Company’s balance sheet in part to maintain the potential impact on net interest income within acceptable ranges despite changes in interest rates. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on at least a quarterly basis by ALCO.
In management’s opinion there has not been a material change in the Company’s market risk or interest rate risk profile for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 as discussed in the Company’s 2006 annual report on Form 10-K.
