NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. GENERAL

Plumas Bancorp (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 17, 2002 and subsequently obtained approval from various state and federal agencies to be a bank holding company in connection with the merger of Plumas Bank (the “Bank”). The Company became the sole shareholder of the Bank on June 21, 2002 pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization and Merger Agreement dated April 3, 2002. Pursuant to that plan, on June 21, 2002 each outstanding share of the Bank’s common stock was exchanged for one share of common stock of the Company. The Company formed Plumas Statutory Trust I for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities on September 26, 2002.

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’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. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Plumas Bank. Plumas Statutory Trust I is not consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, is accounted for under the equity method. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years’ balances to conform to classifications used in 2004.

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. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 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.

3. LOANS

Outstanding loans are summarized below:

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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 $63,017,000 and $60,203,000 and letters of credit of $1,745,000 and $1,802,000 at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Of the loan commitments outstanding at March 31, 2004, $13,446,000 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.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE COMPUTATION

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period plus the dilutive effect of options.

                 
    For the Three Months
    Ended March 31,
    2004
  2003
Earnings Per Share:
               
Basic earnings per share
  $ 0.22     $ 0.22  
Diluted earnings per share
  $ 0.22     $ 0.22  
Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding:
               
Basic shares
    3,250,087       3,217,940  
Diluted shares
    3,357,326       3,300,254  

6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Total comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 totaled $1,305,000 and $633,000, respectively. Comprehensive income is comprised of net unrealized gains (losses), net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities, which were $579,000 and $(83,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, together with net income.

At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, accumulated other comprehensive income totaled $745,000 and $166,000, respectively, and is reflected as a component of shareholders’ equity.

7. ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS

For a description of significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At March 31, 2004, the Company had two stock-based compensation plans, the Plumas Bank 2001 and 1991 Stock Option Plans. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Pro forma adjustments to the Company’s consolidated net earnings and earnings per share are disclosed during the years in which the options become vested. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statements No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based compensation:

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using an option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

                 
    For the Three Months Ended
    March 31, 2004
  March 31, 2003

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, (1) significant increases in competitive pressures in the financial services industry; (2) changes in the interest rate environment resulting in reduced margins; (3) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, maybe less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality; (4) changes in regulatory environment; (5) loss of key personnel; (6) fluctuations in the real estate market; (7) changes in business conditions and inflation; (8) operational risks including data processing systems failures or fraud; and (9) changes in securities markets. Therefore, the information set forth herein should be carefully considered when evaluating the business prospects of Plumas Bancorp.

When the Company uses in this Quarterly Report the words “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “project”, “intend”, “commit”, “believe” and similar expressions, the Company intends to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are not guarantees of performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in this Quarterly Report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, expected, projected, intended, committed or believed. The future results and stockholder values of the Company may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results and values are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. For those statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion and analysis sets forth certain statistical information relating to the Company as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the financial statements and notes thereto included in Plumas Bancorp’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The Company’s net income increased $10,000, or 1.4%, to $726,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $716,000 for the same period in 2003. The primary contributors to the increase in net income for the first three months of 2003 were a $343 thousand increase in net interest income, a $75 thousand decrease in the provision for loan losses, a $217 thousand increase in non-interest income and a $50 thousand decrease in the provision for income taxes, mostly offset by a $675 thousand increase in non-interest expenses.

Total assets at March 31, 2004 were $397 million, an increase of $6.7 million, or 1.7%, from the $390 million at December 31, 2003. The growth in assets was funded by growth in the Company’s deposits. Deposits grew $4.7 million, or 1.3%, to $361 million at March 31, 2004 from the $356 million at December 31, 2003.

The return on average assets was 0.74% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to 0.89% for the same period in 2003. The return on average equity was 10.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to 11.9% for the same period in 2003. Although the Company’s earnings increased during the first three months of 2004 when compared to the same period in 2003, the continued growth in assets combined with a declining rate environment have resulted in declines in the return on average asset and

equity ratios. Total average assets for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased $69 million, or 21%, from the same period in 2003. Total average equity for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased $3 million, or 12%, from the same period in 2003.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004

Net interest income before provision for loan losses. Net interest income, on a nontax-equivalent basis, was $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $343,000, or 9%, from $3.7 million for the same period in 2003. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributed to volume increases in the Company’s average investment balances combined with declines in rates paid on the Company’s deposits, somewhat offset by declines in the yield on the Company’s interest-earning assets.

Interest income increased $184,000 or 4%, to $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, up from $4.5 million for the same period in 2003. The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to volume increases in investment balances partially offset by falling yields on loan and investment balances. The Company’s average investment balances were $111 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, up $46 million, or 71%, from the $65 million for the same period in 2003. The Company’s average loan yield was 7.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2004, down 45 basis points, or 6%, from the 7.55% yield for the same period in 2003. In addition, the Company’s average investment yield was 2.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2004, down 39 basis points, or 12%, from the 3.32% yield for the same period in 2003.

Interest expense decreased $159,000, or 18%, to $707,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, down from $866,000 for the same period in 2003. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributed to rate decreases for time deposits partially offset by volume increases in all of the Company’s deposit products. The Company’s average rate paid on time deposits was 1.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2004, down 61 basis points, or 25%, from the 2.43% paid for the same period in 2003.

The net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2004 decreased 46 basis points, or 9%, to 4.67%, down from 5.13% for the same period in 2003.

Provision for loan losses. The Company recorded $150,000 in provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2004, down $75,000, or 33%, from the $225,000 provision for the same period in 2003. 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 three months ended March 31, 2004, total non-interest income increased $217,000, or 27%, to $1,020,000, up from $803,000 for the comparable period in 2003. The increase in non-interest income was primarily the result of increases in service charge revenue, earnings on bank-owned life insurance policies (“BOLI”) and gains on the sale of investment securities. The large portion of the growth in service charge revenue resulted from an increase in the Bank’s overall number of fee generating accounts. As a result of the acquisition in mid-November 2003 of five branches from a competitor, the Bank began servicing over 7,300 new deposit accounts.

During the last half of 2003, the Bank increased its holding in BOLI by $3.2 million to provide additional coverage for an executive officer of the Company. As a result, the tax-exempt earnings from these policies increased by $53 thousand to $107 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2003 from $54 thousand for the same period in 2003.

Lastly, the Company continued to take advantage of opportunities to record gains in the investment portfolio, recording $90 thousand in gains on the sale of $9.3 million in available-for-sale U.S. agency securities.

Non-interest expenses. Non-interest expenses consist of salaries and related employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, professional fees, business development expenses, telephone expense, stationery and supplies expense, armored car and courier expense, advertising and promotion expense, loan expenses, directors’ fees, and other operating expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, non-interest expense increased $675,000, or 22%, to $3.8 million, up from $3.1 million for the comparable period in 2003.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $438,000, or 25%, over the same three-month period last year. This increase was due primarily to the staffing additions related to the Bank’s three new branch offices, expansion of the Company’s centralized lending function, staffing additions to manage the overall growth and increased employee benefit costs related to health-care and salary continuation plans.

Occupancy and equipment increased $157,000, or 30%, over the same three-month period last year. This increase was due primarily to additional depreciation and operating costs associated with three new branches. These new branches began serving the communities of Tahoe City, Kings Beach and Loyalton in November 2003. Other increases in occupancy and equipment relate to depreciation on capitalized upgrades to the Company’s network security and monitoring systems, network operating system, item processing system and remodeling costs associated with the administrative building.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loan portfolio composition. The Company continues to manage the mix of its loan portfolio consistent with its identity as a community bank serving the financing needs of all sectors of Northeastern California. Although the Company offers a broad array of financing options, it continues to concentrate its focus on small- to medium-sized commercial businesses. These commercial loans are diversified as to the industries and types of businesses, thus limiting material exposure from any one industry concentration. The Company offers both fixed and floating rate loans and obtains collateral in the form of real property, business assets and deposit accounts, but looks to business and personal cash flows as its primary source of

repayment. As of March 31, 2004, consumer loans increased to 21.8% of the loan portfolio compared to 21.4% at December 31, 2003. Both real estate and agricultural loan balances increased slightly to 43.1% and 12.4% of total loans, respectively, as of March 31, 2004 versus 43.0% and 12.2%, respectively, at December 31, 2003. Commercial loans decreased to 22.7% of the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2004 as compared to 23.4% at December 31, 2003.

Nonperforming assets. Nonperforming loan balances at March 31, 2004 were $889,000, an increase of $42,000, or 5%, over the $847,000 balance at December 31, 2003.

As a result of the slight increase in the non-performing loan balances, nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans increased to 0.41% as of March 31, 2004 up from the 0.39% as of December 31, 2003. However, nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets remained at 0.22% for both March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

Analysis of allowance for loan losses. Net charge-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2004 totaled $71,000, or 0.03% of total loans, compared to $141,000, or 0.07% of total loans, for the comparable period in 2003. Net charge-offs during the first quarter of 2004 were comprised of $115,000 of charge-offs less $44,000 recoveries, compared to $179,000 of charge-offs less $38,000 for the comparable period in 2003. The allowance for loan losses stood at 1.23% of total loans as of March 31, 2004, versus 1.18% of total loans as of December 31, 2003. 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.

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.

Investment securities and Federal funds sold. While the balance of investment securities remained consistent at $116 million, Federal funds sold increased by $14 million or 266.2% to $19 million at March 31, 2004 from $5 million at December 31, 2003.

The Company’s investment in U.S. Treasury securities and direct obligations of U.S. agencies decreased to 81.7% of the investment portfolio at March 31, 2004, versus 82.6% at December 31, 2003. The Company’s investment in corporate bonds slightly increased to 11.0% of the investment portfolio at March 31, 2004, versus 10.8% at December 31, 2003. Tax-exempt municipal obligation bonds increased to 7.3% at March 31, 2004, up from 6.6% at December 31, 2003.

Accrued interest receivable and other assets. Accrued interest receivable and other assets decreased $2.1 million, or 13%, to $14.5 million as of March 31, 2004, down from $16.7 million at December 31, 2003. This decrease related primarily to a decline in other assets from a payment on a $1.4 million receivable balance in the first quarter of 2004. This receivable recorded at the end of 2003 related to a court judgment on loans previously considered impaired.

Deposits. Total deposits were $361 million as of March 31, 2004, an increase of $4.7 million, or 1%, from the December 31, 2003 balance of $356 million. 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. Non-interest bearing demand deposits and interest checking deposits decreased to 38.2% of total deposits as of March 31, 2004, down slightly from 38.9% of total deposits as of December 31, 2003. Money market and savings deposits increased to 35.6% of total deposits as of March 31, 2004 compared to 34.9% as of December 31, 2003. Time deposits remained at 26.2% of total deposits for both March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2004 increased $1.3 million, or 5%, to $27.1 million from $25.7 million as of December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily due to the retention of first quarter 2004 earnings and a $579 thousand increase in accumulated comprehensive income.

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 and the Bank met all their capital adequacy requirements as of March 31, 2004.

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, in addition to Federal Funds sold, the Company maintains an investment portfolio containing U.S. government securities and agency securities that are classified as available-for-sale. On the liability side, liquidity needs are managed by charging competitive offering rates on deposit products and the use of established lines of credit from correspondent financial institutions and the Federal Home Loan Bank.

The Company has unsecured short-term borrowing agreements with two of its correspondent banks in the amounts of $10 million and $5 million. In addition, the Company can borrow up to $9.6 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank secured by residential mortgage loans. There were no short-term borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2004.

Customer deposits are the Company’s primary source of funds. Those funds are held in various types of accounts with varying maturities. The Company does not accept brokered deposits. During the first quarter of 2004, deposits increased $4.7 million, or 1%, from the December 31, 2003 balance of $356 million. The Company has historically experienced a seasonal trend in regards to deposits; whereas the majority of the Company’s annual deposit growth occurs in the summer and fall months.

The Company’s available-for-sale securities portfolio, Federal funds sold, and cash and due from banks serve as the primary sources of liquidity, providing adequate funding for loans during periods of high loan demand. During periods of decreased lending activity, proceeds from the maturity or sale of investment securities, loan payments, and new 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, dependent upon the stated or estimated maturity date. Since virtually all of the Company’s interest earning assets and all of the Company’s interest bearing liabilities, with the exception of the junior subordinated debentures, are located at the Bank level, virtually all of the Company’s interest rate risk exposure lies at the Bank level. As a result, all significant interest rate risk management procedures are performed at the Bank level. Based upon the nature of its operations, the Bank is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. The 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 Bank’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 maturities, pricing and mix to attempt to neutralize the potential impact of changes in market interest rates. The Bank’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 and borrowings. The Bank, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-earning assets reprice differently than its interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank manages its mix of assets and liabilities with the goals of limiting its exposure to interest rate risk, ensuring adequate liquidity, and coordinating its sources and uses of funds.

The Bank seeks to control its interest rate risk exposure in a manner that will allow for adequate levels of earnings and capital over a range of possible interest rate environments. The Bank has adopted formal policies and practices to monitor and manage interest rate risk exposure. As part of this effort, the Bank measures interest rate risk utilizing 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 Bank’s interest rate risk, enabling management to make any adjustments necessary.

Interest rate risk is managed by the Bank’s Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”), which includes members of senior management. The ALCO monitors interest rate risk by analyzing the potential impact on the net interest income from potential changes in interest rates and considers the impact of alternative strategies or changes in balance sheet structure. The ALCO manages the Bank’s balance sheet in part to maintain the potential impact on net interest income within acceptable ranges despite changes in interest rates. The Bank’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, 2004 compared to December 31, 2003 as discussed in the Company’s 2003 annual report on Form 10-K.
