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 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 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 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 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 Company’s 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 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 $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 Company’s 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.

Diluted shares
    4,976       5,090       5,025       5,090  
Stock options not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, due to their 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, respectively.
6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Total comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 totaled $1,558,000 and $1,977,000, respectively. Comprehensive income is comprised of unrealized gains, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities, which were $280,000 and $581,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, together with net income.
Total comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 totaled $3,727,000 and $4,108,000, respectively. Comprehensive income is comprised of unrealized gains, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities, which were $367,000 and $227,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, together with net income.
At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, totaled $325,000 and $692,000, respectively, and is reflected as a component of shareholders’ equity.
7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In 2001 and 1991, the Company established Stock Option Plans for which 894,860 shares of common stock remain reserved for issuance to employees and directors and 490,030 shares are available for future grants under incentive and nonstatutory agreements as of September 30, 2007. The Company granted 155,700 and 7,500 options during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $4.53 and $4.56 respectively. Compensation cost related to stock options recognized in operating results under SFAS No. 123R was $78,000 and $43,000 for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The associated future income tax benefit recognized was $7,000 and $4,000 for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Compensation cost related to stock options recognized in operating results under SFAS No. 123R was $209,000 and $130,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

At September 30, 2007, there was $729,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.0 years. The total fair value of options vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $12,000.
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 adopted FIN 48 on 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 significant effect on the Company’s 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.

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.
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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
OVERVIEW
The Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s decision to decrease the level of auto dealer loans which generally yield significantly less than other loans in the Company’s 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.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

Total non-interest income
  $ 3,995     $ 3,853     $ 142       3.7 %
 
                         
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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

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 Company’s 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.

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 Company’s 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 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 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.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 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.

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.

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, 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 Company’s 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 Company’s annual deposit growth has typically occurred in the late spring, summer and fall months.

The Company’s 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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006 as discussed in the Company’s 2006 annual report on Form 10-K.

EXHIBIT 10.70
PLUMAS BANK
Amended and Restated Director Retirement Agreement

     THIS FIRST AMENDMENT is adopted this 9 th day of October, 2007, effective as of January 1, 2005, by and between Plumas Bank, located in Quincy, California (the “Company”) and Gerald W. Fletcher (the “Director”).
     The Company and the Director executed the Director Retirement Agreement on May 13, 1998 effective as of March 1, 1998 and amended and restated it on May 10, 2000 (the “Agreement”).
     The undersigned hereby amends the Agreement for the purpose of bringing the Agreement into compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the following changes shall be made:
      The following Section 1.1.6a shall be added to the Agreement immediately following Section 1.1.6:
 
1.1.6a “Specified Employee” means a key employee (as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code without regard to paragraph 5 thereof) of the Company if any stock of the Company is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise.
 
      Section 1.1.7 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
 
  1.1.7   “Termination of Service” means the termination of the Director’s service with the Company for reasons other than death. Whether a Termination of Service takes place is determined based on the facts and circumstances surrounding the termination of the Director’s service and whether the Company and the Director intended for the Director to provide significant services for the Company following such termination.
                The following Section 1.1.8a shall be added to the Agreement immediately following Section 1.1.8:
 
1.1.8a “Unforeseeable Emergency” means a severe financial hardship to the Director resulting from an illness or accident of the Director, the Director’s spouse, or the Director’s dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code), loss of the Director’s property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Director.

 


 

PLUMAS BANK
Amended and Restated Director Retirement Agreement
                Section 2.1.3 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety.
                Section 2.2.2 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
  2.2.2   Payment of Benefit. The Company shall pay the annual benefit to the Director in twelve (12) equal monthly installments payable on the first day of each month commencing with the month following Termination of Service. The Company shall pay the annual benefit to the Director for twelve (12) years.
 
      Section 2.2.3 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety.
 
      Section 2.3.2 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
  2.3.2   Payment of Benefit. The Company shall pay the annual benefit to the Director in twelve (12) equal monthly installments payable on the first day of each month commencing with the month following Termination of Service. The Company shall pay the annual benefit to the Director for twelve (12) years.
                The following Section 2.3.3 shall be added to the Agreement immediately following Section 2.3.2:
  2.3.3   Excess Parachute Payments . Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, and to the extent allowed by Code Section 409A, if any distribution(s) made under this Section 2.3 would be treated as an “excess parachute payment” under Code Section 280G, the Company shall reduce such distribution(s) to the extent necessary to avoid treating the distribution(s) as an excess parachute payment.
                The following Section 2.4 shall be added to the Agreement immediately following Section 2.3.3:
  2.4   Hardship Distribution. The Company may make a hardship distribution under the circumstances described in Section 2.4.1 below. Any such distribution shall require the adjustment described in Section 2.4.2 to any amounts to be paid under Sections 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 or Article 3.
  2.4.1   Application for and Amount of Hardship Distribution. If an Unforeseeable Emergency occurs, the Director may petition the Board to receive a distribution from the Agreement (a “Hardship Distribution”). The Board in its sole discretion may grant such petition. If granted, the Director shall receive, within sixty (60) days, a Hardship Distribution from the Agreement (i) only to the extent deemed necessary by the Board to remedy the Unforeseeable Emergency, plus an amount necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution; and

 


 

PLUMAS BANK
Amended and Restated Director Retirement Agreement
      (ii)after taking into account the extent to which such Unforeseeable Emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Director’s assets (to the extent the liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship). In any event, the maximum amount which may be paid out pursuant to this Section 2.4 is the amount the Company has accrued with respect to the Company’s obligations hereunder as of the day that the Director petitioned the Board to receive a Hardship Distribution under this Section.
 
  2.4.2   Benefit Adjustment. At the time of any Hardship Distribution, the amount the Company has accrued with respect to the Company’s obligations hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of the Hardship Distribution and the benefits to be paid under Sections 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 or Article 3 hereof shall reflect such reduced amount.
                The following Sections 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 shall be added to the Agreement immediately following Section 2.4.2:
  2.5   Restriction on Timing of Distributions.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Director is considered a Specified Employee at Termination of Service under such procedures as established by the Company in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, benefit distributions that are made upon Termination of Service may not commence earlier than six (6) months after the date of such Termination of Service. Therefore, in the event this Section 2.5 is applicable to the Director, any distribution which would otherwise be paid to the Director within the first six months following the Termination of Service shall be accumulated and paid to the Director in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the Termination of Service. All subsequent distributions shall be paid in the manner specified.
 
  2.6   Distributions Upon Income Inclusion Under Section 409A of the Code. Upon the inclusion of any amount into the Director’s income as a result of the failure of this non-qualified deferred compensation plan to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, to the extent such tax liability can be covered by the amount the Company has accrued with respect to the Company’s obligations hereunder, a distribution shall be made as soon as is administratively practicable following the discovery of the plan failure.
 
  2.7   Change in Form or Timing of Distributions. All changes in the form or timing of distributions hereunder must comply with the following requirements. The changes:
  (a)   may not accelerate the time or schedule of any distribution, except as provided in Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder;
 
  (b)   must, for benefits distributable under Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3, delay the commencement of distributions for a minimum of five (5) years from the date the first distribution was originally scheduled to be made; and
 
  (c)   must take effect not less than twelve (12) months after the election is made.

 


 

PLUMAS BANK
Amended and Restated Director Retirement Agreement
                Section 3.1.3 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety.
                Section 3.2 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
  3.2   Death During Benefit Period. If the Director dies after the benefit payments have commenced under this Agreement but before receiving all such payments, the Company shall pay the remaining benefits to the Director’s beneficiary at the same time and in the same manner they would have been paid to the Director had the Director lived.
 
      Article 7 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
Article 7
Amendments and Termination
  7.1   Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement signed by the Company and the Director. However, the Company may unilaterally amend this Agreement to conform with written directives to the Company from its auditors or banking regulators or to comply with legislative changes or tax law, including without limitation Section 409A of the Code and any and all Treasury regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder.
 
  7.2   Plan Termination Generally. The Company and the Director may terminate this Agreement at any time. The benefit hereunder shall be the amount the Company has accrued with respect to the Company’s obligations hereunder. Except as provided in Section 7.3, the termination of this Agreement shall not cause a distribution of benefits under this Agreement. Rather, after such termination benefit distributions will be made at the earliest distribution event permitted under Article 2 or Article 3.
 
  7.3   Plan Terminations Under Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.2, if this Agreement terminates in the following circumstances:
  (a)   Within thirty (30) days before or twelve (12) months after a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as described in Section 409A(2)(A)(v) of the Code, provided that all distributions are made no later than twelve (12) months following such termination of the Agreement and further provided that all the Company’s arrangements which are substantially similar to the Agreement are terminated so the Director and all participants in the similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated arrangements within twelve (12) months of the termination of the arrangements;
 
  (b)   Upon the Company’s dissolution or with the approval of a bankruptcy court provided that the amounts deferred under the Agreement are included in the

      Director’s gross income in the latest of (i) the calendar year in which the Agreement terminates; (ii) the calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or (iii) the first calendar year in which the distribution is administratively practical; or
 
  (c)   Upon the Company’s termination of this and all other non-account balance plans (as referenced in Section 409A of the Code or the regulations thereunder), provided that all distributions are made no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later than twenty-four (24) months following such termination, and the Company does not adopt any new non-account balance plans for a minimum of five (5) years following the date of such termination;
the Company may distribute the amount the Company has accrued with respect to the Company’s obligations hereunder, determined as of the date of the termination of the Agreement, to the Director in a lump sum subject to the above terms.
                The following Section 8.9 shall be added to the Agreement immediately following Section 8.8:
  8.9   Compliance with Section 409A. This Agreement shall at all times be administered and the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any and all regulations thereunder, including such regulations as may be promulgated after the Effective Date of this Agreement.
      IN WITNESS OF THE ABOVE , the Company and the Director hereby consent to this First Amendment.
