NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. THE BUSINESS OF PLUMAS BANCORP
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 ("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. In March 2023 the Trusts were dissolved. Plumas Bancorp's Principal Executive Office is located in Reno, Nevada.
The Bank operates thirteen branches in California, including branches in Alturas, Chester, Chico, Fall River Mills, Greenville, Kings Beach, Portola, Quincy, Redding, Susanville, Tahoe City, Truckee and Yuba City. The Bank's newest branch was opened in April 2023 and is located in Chico, California. The Bank’s administrative headquarters are in Quincy, California. In December 2015 the Bank opened a branch in Reno, Nevada, its first branch outside of California, and in 2018 the Bank purchased a branch located in Carson City, Nevada. In addition, the Bank operates a lending office specializing in government-guaranteed lending in Auburn, California, and a commercial/agricultural lending office in Klamath Falls, Oregon. 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. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the consolidated accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Plumas Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Plumas Statutory Trust I and Trust II are not consolidated into the Company's consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, are accounted for under the equity method. The Company's investment in Trust I of $
The accounting and reporting policies of Plumas Bancorp and subsidiary conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and prevailing practices within the banking industry. 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 June 30, 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and six-month periods. Our condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 is derived from audited financial statements.
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 (“GAAP”) 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 2022 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, 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.
Segment Information
Management has determined that since all of the 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 customer accounts for more than 10 percent of revenues for the Company or the Bank.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans
The allowance for credit losses (ACL) is a valuation account that is deducted from the loan's amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the recorded loan balance is confirmed as uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Regardless of the determination that a charge-off is appropriate for financial accounting purposes, the Company manages its loan portfolio by continually monitoring, where possible, a borrower's ability to pay through the collection of financial information, delinquency status, borrower discussion and the encouragement to repay in accordance with the original contract or modified terms, if appropriate.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company identified and accumulated loan cohort historical loss data beginning with the first quarter of 2004 and through the current period. In situations where the Company's actual loss history was not statistically relevant, the loss history of peers, defined as financial institutions with assets greater than seven hundred and fifty million and less than three billion, were utilized to create a minimum loss rate. In its loss forecasting framework, the Company incorporates forward-looking information through the use of macroeconomic scenarios applied over the forecasted life of the assets. These macroeconomic scenarios incorporate variables that have historically been key drivers of increases and decreases in credit losses. These variables include, but are not limited to changes in environmental conditions, such as California unemployment rates, California Housing Prices, California gross domestic product, California Retail Trade Earnings and Wall Street Journal Prime Rate.
A loan is considered to be collateral dependent when repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The ACL on collateral dependent loans is measured using the amortized cost basis of the financial asset less the fair value of the underlying collateral, adjusted for costs to sell when applicable. If the value of underlying collateral is determined to be less than the recorded amount of the loan, a specific reserve for that loan is recorded. If the Company determines that the loss represented by the specific reserve is uncollectable it records a charge-off for the uncollectable portion.
The Company has identified the following portfolio segments to evaluate and measure the allowance for credit loss:
Commercial: Primarily based on the cash flow of the borrower, and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. A borrower's cash flow may be unpredictable, and collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most often, collateral includes accounts receivable, inventory, or equipment. Collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise, may be illiquid and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. Actual and forecast changes in California gross domestic product paired with California unemployment are believed to be corollary to losses associated with these credits.
Agricultural: Loans secured by farmland represent unique risks that are associated with the operation of an agricultural business. The valuation of farmland can vary greatly over time based on the property's access to resources including but not limited to water, crop prices, foreign exchange rates, government regulation or restrictions, and the nature of ongoing capital investment needed to maintain the quality of the property. Loans secured by crop production, and livestock are especially vulnerable to two risk factors that are largely outside the control of Company and borrowers: commodity prices and weather conditions.
Real estate - residential: The most significant drivers of potential loss within the Company's residential real estate portfolio relate to general, regional, or individual changes in economic conditions and their effect on employment and borrowers cash flow. Risk in this portfolio is best measured by changes in borrower credit score and loan-to-value. Loss estimates are based on economic outlook and its effects on employment and the value of homes and the Bank’s historical loss experience adjusted to reflect the economic outlook and the unemployment rate.
Real estate - commercial: These credits are primarily susceptible to changes in the financial condition of the business operated by the property owner. This may be driven by changes in, among other things, industry challenges, factors unique to the operating geography of the borrower, change in the individual fortunes of the business owner, general economic conditions and changes in business cycles. When default is driven by issues related specifically to the business owner, collateral values tend to provide better repayment support and may result in little or no loss. Alternatively, when default is driven more by general economic conditions, the underlying collateral may have devalued more and thus result in larger losses in the event of default. The terms on these loans at origination typically have maturities from to years with amortization periods from to years.
Construction: While secured by real estate, construction loans represent a greater level of risk than term real estate loans due to the nature of the additional risks associated with not only the completion of construction within an estimated time period and budget, but also the need to either sell the building or reach a level of stabilized occupancy sufficient to generate the cash flows necessary to support debt service and operating costs. The Company seeks to mitigate the additional risks associated with construction lending by requiring borrowers to comply with lower loan to value ratios and additional covenants as well as strong tertiary support of guarantors. The loss forecasting model applies the historical rate of loss for similar loans over the expected construction life of the asset as adjusted for macroeconomic factors.
Home equity lines of credit (HELOC): Similar to residential real estate term loans, HELOC performance is also primarily driven by borrower cash flows based on employment status. However, HELOCs carry additional risks associated with the fact that most of these loans are secured by a deed of trust in a position that is junior to the primary lien holder. Furthermore, the risk that as the borrower's financial strength deteriorates, the outstanding balance on these credit lines may increase as they may only be canceled by the Company if certain limited criteria are met. In addition to the allowance for credit losses maintained as a percent of the outstanding loan balance, the Company maintains additional reserves for the unfunded portion of the HELOC.
Automobile: Automobile loans are susceptible to three primary risks: non-payment due to income loss, over-extension of credit and, when the borrower is unable to pay, shortfall in collateral value, if any. Typically, non-payment is due to loss of job and will follow general economic trends in the marketplace driven primarily by rises in the unemployment rate. Loss of collateral value can be due to market demand shifts, damage to collateral itself or a combination of those factors.
Other: Other loans primarily consist of consumer loans which are similar in nature to automobile loans and overdrafts.
Unfunded commitments: The estimated credit losses associated with these unfunded lending commitments are calculated using the same models and methodologies noted above and incorporate utilization assumptions at time of default. The reserve for unfunded commitments is maintained on the balance sheet in other liabilities.
Reclassification
Some items in the prior year consolidated financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or shareholders' equity.
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-03 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology. This is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized costs, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in certain leases. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available for sale debt securities.
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for the reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration (PCD) that were previously classified as purchased credit impaired (PCI) and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with the Standard, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. The remaining noncredit discount (based on the adjusted amortized costs basis) will be accreted into interest income at the effective interest rate as of adoption. The Company recognized an increase in the ACL for loans totaling $
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks. For transactions that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate and the modification will be considered "minor" so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. ASU 2020-04 also provides numerous optional expedients for derivative accounting. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The ASU 2022-06 deferred the sunset date of ASU 2020-04 to December 2024. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic within the Codification, the amendments in this ASU must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. The adoption of the ASU provisions did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company has an insignificant number of financial instruments applicable to this ASU.
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The ASU eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance for troubled debt restructurings and requires enhanced disclosures about loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. This ASU also requires enhanced disclosure for loans that have been charged off. The adoption of the ASU provisions did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

To estimate expected losses the Company generally utilizes historical loss trends and the remaining contractual lives of the loan portfolios to determine estimated credit losses through a reasonable and supportable forecast period. Individual loan credit quality indicators including loan grade and borrower repayment performance have been statistically correlated with historical credit losses and various econometrics, including California unemployment rates, California Housing Prices, California gross domestic product, California Retail Trade Earnings and Wall Street Journal Prime Rate. Model forecasts may be adjusted for inherent limitations or biases that have been identified through independent validation and back-testing of model performance to actual realized results. At both January 1, 2023, the adoption and implementation date of ASC Topic 326, and June 30, 2023, the Company utilized a reasonable and supportable forecast period of approximately four quarters and obtained the forecast data from publicly available sources. The Company also considered the impact of portfolio concentrations, changes in underwriting practices, imprecision in its economic forecasts, and other risk factors that might influence its loss estimation process. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2023 appropriately reflected expected credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at that date.
In determining the allowance for credit losses, accruing loans with similar risk characteristics are generally evaluated collectively. The Company's policy is that loans designated as nonaccrual no longer share risk characteristics similar to other loans evaluated collectively and as such, all nonaccrual loans are individually evaluated for reserves. As of June 30, 2023 the Bank's nonaccrual loans comprised the entire population of loans individually evaluated. The Company's policy is that nonaccrual loans also represent the subset of loans where borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty where an evaluation of the source of repayment is required to determine if the nonaccrual loans should be categorized as collateral dependent.
The implementation of CECL also impacted the Company's ACL on unfunded loan commitments, as the ACL now represents expected credit losses over the contractual life of commitments not identified as unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The Reserve for Unfunded Commitments is estimated using the same reserve or coverage rates calculated on collectively evaluated loans following the application of a funding rate to the amount of the unfunded commitment. The funding rate represents management's estimate of the amount of the current unfunded commitment that will be funded over the remaining contractual life of the commitment and is based on historical data. Under CECL the ACL on unfunded loan commitments remains in Other Liabilities while any related provision expense is included in the provision for credit loss expense.

The Company assigns a risk rating to all loans and periodically, but not less than annually, performs detailed reviews of all criticized and classified loans over $100,000 to identify credit risks and to assess the overall collectability of the portfolio. These risk ratings are also subject to examination by independent specialists engaged by the Company and the Company’s regulators. During these internal reviews, management monitors and analyzes the financial condition of borrowers and guarantors, trends in the industries in which borrowers operate and the fair values of collateral securing these loans. These credit quality indicators are used to assign a risk rating to each individual loan.
The risk ratings can be grouped into three major categories, defined as follows:
Special Mention – Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard – A substandard loan is not adequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or the value of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Well defined weaknesses include a project's lack of marketability, inadequate cash flow or collateral support, failure to complete construction on time or the project's failure to fulfill economic expectations. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful – Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered to be pass-rated loans.
For other loans, which are primarily consumer loans and automobile loans the Company evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan and by payment activity.

The Company places loans 90 days or more past due on nonaccrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. A loan is considered to be in the process of collection if, based on a probable specific event, it is expected that the loan will be repaid or brought current. Generally, this collection period would not exceed 90 days. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status the Company's general policy is to reverse and charge against current income previously accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income on such loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash is received, and future collection of principal is deemed by management to be probable. Where the collectability of the principal or interest on a loan is considered to be doubtful by management, it is placed on nonaccrual status prior to becoming 90 days delinquent.

5. 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 $
Of the loan commitments outstanding at June 30, 2023, $
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 June 30, 2023.
6. 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.

8. INCOME TAXES
The Company files its income taxes on a consolidated basis with its subsidiary. Income tax expense is the total of current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the reported amount of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. On the consolidated balance sheet, net deferred tax assets are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets.
When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
Interest expense and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, if any, are classified as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. There have been no significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company measures fair value under the fair value hierarchy described below.
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active exchange markets.
Level 2: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Model based techniques that use one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use on pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include management judgment and estimation which may be significant.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Management monitors the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period.
Management evaluates the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total assets, total liabilities or total earnings.

Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. Those estimates that are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision are included in Level 3. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair values presented.
These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument for sale at one time, nor do they attempt to estimate the value of anticipated future business related to the instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates.
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value:

The fair value of securities available-for-sale equals quoted market price, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined using quoted market prices for similar securities or matrix pricing. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was derived from discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the forward interest rate curve adjusted for our credit risk. There were no changes in the valuation techniques used during 2023 or 2022. Transfers between hierarchy measurement levels are recognized by the Company as of the beginning of the reporting period. Changes in fair market value are recorded in other comprehensive income.

The following methods were used to estimate fair value.
Collateral-Dependent Impaired Loans: The Bank does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, fair value adjustments are recorded on these loans to reflect partial write-downs, through charge-offs or specific reserve allowances, that are based on fair value estimates of the underlying collateral. The fair value estimates for collateral-dependent impaired loans are generally based on recent real estate appraisals or broker opinions, obtained from independent third parties, which are frequently adjusted by management to reflect current conditions and estimated selling costs (Level 3). Impairment charges of $
Other Real Estate: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain real estate properties classified as other real estate owned are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property which are commonly adjusted by management to reflect current conditions and selling costs (Level 3). Appraisals for other real estate are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, a member of the Loan Administration Department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. On a quarterly basis, the Company compares the actual selling price of similar collateral that has been liquidated to the most recent appraised value for unsold properties to determine what additional adjustment, if any, should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at fair value. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.

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, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality; (4) changes in regulatory environment; (5) loss of key personnel; (6) fluctuations in the real estate market; (7) changes in business conditions and inflation; (8) operational risks including data processing systems failures or fraud; and (9) changes in securities markets. Therefore, the information set forth herein should be carefully considered when evaluating the business prospects of Plumas Bancorp (the “Company”).
When the Company uses in this Quarterly Report the words “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “project”, “intend”, “commit”, “believe” and similar expressions, the Company intends to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are not guarantees of performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in this Quarterly Report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, expected, projected, intended, committed or believed. The future results and stockholder values of the Company may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results and values are beyond the 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Plumas Bancorp’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Plumas Bancorp trades on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol “PLBC”.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
There have been no changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies from those disclosed in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K.
Net interest income before provision for credit losses. Driven by an increase in market rates, net interest income increased by $8.9 million from $25.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, to $34.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in net interest income includes an increase of $9.9 million in interest income partially offset by an increase of $1.0 million in interest expense. Interest and fees on loans increased by $4.7 million related both to an increase in average balance and an increase in yield. Average loan balances increased by $77.5 million, while the average yield on loans increased by 61 basis points from 5.12% during the first half of 2022 to 5.73% during the current period. Net loan fees/costs declined from net fees of $511,000 during the 2022 period to net costs of $581,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decline is mostly related to a decline in fees earned on PPP loans. The increase in loan yield includes the effect of an increase in market rates during the second half of 2022 and in 2023 partially offset by a decline in PPP fee income. The average prime interest rate increased from 3.62% during the first half of 2022 to 7.92% during the current period. Approximately 21% of the Company's loans are tied to the prime interest rate and most of these reprice within one to three months with a change in prime. Interest and fees on loans held for sale decreased by $383,000 related to a decrease in average balance of $14.6 million from $15.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Loans held for sale are tied to the prime interest rate and reprice quarterly. Yield on loans held for sale increased by 3.59% to 9.13%.
Interest on investment securities increased by $4.1 million related to an increase in average investment securities of $148 million to $472 million and an increase in yield of 108 basis points to 3.24%. The increase in loan and investment yields is consistent with the increase in market rates during 2022 and into the first half of 2023. Interest on cash balances increased by $1.5 million related to an increase in the rate paid on these balances from 0.50% during the first half of 2022 to 4.84% during the current period mostly related to an increase in the rate paid on balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). The average rate earned on FRB balances increased from 0.52% during the first half of 2022 to 4.82% during the current period. Average interest-bearing cash balances decreased by $237 million to $97 million during the current period.
Interest paid on deposit accounts increased for all products mostly related to market conditions. In total interest paid on deposits increased by $954,000 broken down by product type as follows: Money market accounts - $433,000, Savings accounts - $240,000 and Time deposits - $281,000. Beginning in April 2023 we began offering a time deposit promotion offering for a limited time 7-month and 11-month time deposits at an interest rate of 4%. We discontinued this promotion, which generated $46 million in deposits, on June 30, 2023.
During March we redeemed our junior subordinated debentures with funding provided by a $10 million borrowing on Plumas Bancorp's line of credit/term loan facility. Interest expense incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2023, on the junior subordinated debentures totaled $141,000 down from $179,000 during the first half of 2022. Interest and fees incurred on the line of credit borrowing totaled $141,000 during the current period. Interest expense on other interest-bearing liabilities declined by $25,000 to $9,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 1.27% to 4.66%, up from 3.39% for the same period in 2022.

Provision for credit losses. Upon adoption of CECL we recorded an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $529,000 and an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments of $258,000. During the first six months of 2023 we recorded a provision for credit losses of $2,875,000 an increase of $2,175,000 from $700,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The provision for credit losses during the current period consisted of a provision for credit losses - loans of $2,550,000 and an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments of $325,000. The increase in the reserves was principally related to an increase in qualitative reserves related to the continuation of increases in market interest rates and a reduction in economic activity. Additionally, we recorded specific reserves totaling $868,000 on three loans. As time progresses the results of economic conditions will require CECL model assumption inputs to change and further refinements to the estimation process may also be identified. See “Analysis of Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses” for a discussion of loan quality trends and the provision for credit losses.

Non-interest income. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, non-interest income totaled $6.1 million, a decrease of $246,000 from $6.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The largest component of this decrease was a decline in gain on sale of loans of $2.1 million from $2.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $219,000 during the current period. We did not sell SBA 7(a) loans during the second and third quarters of 2021 resulting in an inventory of loans held for sale of $31.3 million at December 31, 2021. During the first half of 2022 we sold $38.2 million in guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans. This compares to $4.9 million in sales during the current period. Mostly offsetting the decline in SBA gains was a gain of $1.7 million on termination of our interest rate swaps during the first quarter of 2023.

Non-interest expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, total non-interest expense increased by $2.6 million from $15.7 million during the first half of 2022 to $18.3 million during the current period. The largest components of this increase were increases in salary and benefit expense of $1.6 million and an increase in occupancy and equipment costs of $345,000. The increase in salary and benefit expense primarily relates to an increase in salary expense and a reduction in the deferral of loan origination costs. Salary expense increased by $728,000 which we attribute to both growth in headcount and merit and promotional salary increases. The largest single component of the increase in salary and benefit expense was a $866,000 reduction in the deferral of loan origination expense as we have seen a reduction in loan demand given the current economic environment especially in SBA 7(a) loans tied to the prime interest rate. Occupancy and equipment costs increased by $345,000, much of which relates to snow removal and other costs attributable to an unusually harsh winter in our service area.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE three MONTHS ENDED June 30, 2023
Net Income. The Company recorded net income of $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 up $1.0 million from net income of $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. An increase of $3.8 million in net interest income was partially offset by increases of $1.1 million in non-interest expense, $950,000 in the provision for credit losses, $295,000 in in the provision for income taxes and a reduction of $521,000 in non-interest income.
The annualized return on average assets was 1.70% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 up from 1.40% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The annualized return on average equity increased from 19.0% during the second quarter of 2022 to 20.5% during the current quarter.
The following is a detailed discussion of each component of the change in net income.
Net interest income before provision for credit losses. Net interest income was $17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $3.8 million from the same period in 2022. The increase in net interest income includes an increase of $4.5 million in interest income partially offset by an increase of $0.7 million in interest expense. Interest and fees on loans, including loans held for sale, increased by $2.3 million related to growth in the loan portfolio and an increase in yield on the portfolio. Net loan fees/costs declined from net fees of $200,000 during the 2022 quarter to net costs of $231,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decline is mostly related to a decline in fees earned on PPP loans.
Including loans held for sale, average loan balances increased by $65 million, while the average yield on these loans increased by 63 basis points from 5.21% during the second quarter of 2022 to 5.84% during the current quarter. The increase in loan yield includes the effect of an increase in market rates during 2023 partially offset by a decline in PPP fee income as described above. The average prime interest rate increased from 3.94% during the second quarter of 2022 to 8.16% during the current quarter.
Interest on investment securities increased by $1.9 million from the second quarter of 2022, related to an increase in average investment securities of $141 million to $478 million and an increase in yield on the investment portfolio from 2.31% during the second quarter of 2022 to 3.24% during the current quarter. Interest on interest-earning cash balances increased by $304,000 related to an increase in the rate earned on these balances partially offset by a decrease in average interest-earning cash balances. The rate paid on interest-earning cash balances increased from 0.84% during the second quarter of 2022 to 5.14% during the current quarter mostly related to an increase in the rate paid on balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank. The average rate paid on Federal Reserve balances was 0.84% during the second quarter of 2022 and 5.06% during the current quarter. Average interest-earning cash balances declined from $314 million during the second quarter of 2022 to $75 million in the current quarter related to a decline in average deposits and increases in loans and investments.
Interest paid on deposit accounts increased for all products mostly related to market conditions. In total interest paid on deposits increased by $681,000 broken down by product time as follows: Money market account - $282,000, Savings accounts - $123,000 and Time deposits - $276,000. Beginning in April 2023 we began offering a time deposit promotion offering for a limited time 7-month and 11-month time deposits at an interest rate of 4%. We discontinued this promotion, which generated $46 million in deposits, on June 30, 2023. During March we redeemed our junior subordinated debentures with funding provided by a $10 million borrowing on Plumas Bancorp's line of credit/term loan facility. Interest and fees incurred on the line of credit borrowing totaled $113,000 during the current period. Interest expense on other interest-bearing liabilities declined by $9,000 to $7,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Average interest earning assets during the three months ended June 30, 2023, totaled $1.5 billion, a decrease of $33 million from the same period in 2022. The average yield on interest earning assets increased 131 basis points to 4.96%, up from 3.65% for the same period in 2022. Net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023, increased 112 basis points to 4.69%, up from 3.57% for the same period in 2022.
The following table presents for the three-month periods indicated the distribution of consolidated average assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity. It also presents the amounts of interest income from interest earning assets and the resultant annualized yields expressed in both dollars and annualized yield percentages, as well as the amounts of interest expense on interest bearing liabilities and the resultant cost expressed in both dollars and annualized rate percentages. Average balances are based on daily averages. Nonaccrual loans are included in the calculation of average loans while nonaccrued interest thereon is excluded from the computation of yields earned:

Provision for credit losses. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 we recorded a provision for credit losses - loans of $1,300,000 and $400,000, respectively. See “Analysis of Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses” for a discussion of loan quality trends and the provision for credit losses.
Non-interest income. Non-interest income decreased by $521,000 to $2.1 million during the current quarter from $2.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The largest component of this decrease was a decline in gains on sale of SBA loans of $645,000. During the current quarter we sold one loan totaling $652,000. This compares to sales of $14.1 million during the second quarter of 2022.

Non-interest expense. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, total non-interest expense increased by $1.1 million from $8.0 million during the second quarter of 2022 to $9.1 million during the current quarter. The largest components of this increase were an increase in salary and benefit expense of $628,000, an increase in outside service fees of $159,000 and an increase in occupancy and equipment costs of $142,000. The increase in salary and benefit expense primarily relates to an increase in salary expense and a reduction in the deferral of loan origination costs. Salary expense increased by $440,000 which we attribute primarily to merit and promotional salary increases. In addition, our full-time equivalent employee count has increased from 172 on June 30, 2022, to 176 on June 30, 2023. The deferral of loan origination costs declined by $366,000 from the second quarter of 2022 as we have seen a reduction in loan demand given the current economic environment especially in SBA 7(a) loans tied to the prime interest rate. The increase in outside service fees was spread among several different categories, the largest of which were network administration, investment management fees, and interchange expense. Occupancy and equipment costs increased by $142,000, much of which relates to snow removal and other costs attributable to an unusually harsh winter in our service area and the opening of our new Chico, California branch during the second quarter of 2023.

Provision for income taxes. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $2.3 million, or 25.5% of pre-tax income, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This compares to an income tax provision of $2.0 million, or 25.7% of pre-tax income, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The percentages for 2023 and 2022 differ from statutory rates as tax exempt items of income such as earnings on Bank owned life insurance and municipal loan and securities interest decrease taxable income.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets at June 30, 2023 were $1.6 billion, a decrease of $48.1 million from December 31, 2022. Investment securities increased by $24.2 million from $444.7 million at December 31, 2022, to $468.9 million at June 30, 2023. Net loans increased by $20.7 million from $904.0 million on December 31, 2022, to $925 million at June 30, 2023. These increases were offset by a decrease in cash and equivalents of $91.7 million to $91.7 million, and a decrease in all other assets of $1.3 million. Deposits totaled $1.4 billion at June 30, 2023, a decrease of $62.6 million from December 31, 2022. Shareholders’ equity increased by $9.6 million from $119.0 million at December 31, 2022, to $128.6 million at June 30, 2023.
Loan Portfolio. Gross loans totaled $935.2 million, an increase of $23.3 million from December 31, 2022. The largest areas of growth in the Company’s loan portfolio were $12.9 million in construction loans, $6.3 million in auto loans, $4.0 million in agricultural loans and $1.2 million in commercial real estate loans. The largest decline in loan balances was $1.7 million in commercial loans. Although the Company offers a broad array of financing options, it continues to concentrate its focus on small to medium sized commercial businesses. These loans offer diversification as to industries and types of businesses, thus limiting material exposure in any industry concentrations. 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 shown in the following table the Company's largest lending categories are commercial real estate loans, agricultural loans, commercial loans and auto loans.

The Company’s real estate related loans, including real estate mortgage loans, real estate construction and land development loans, consumer equity lines of credit, and agricultural loans secured by real estate, comprised 76% of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2023. Moreover, the business activities of the Company currently are focused in the California counties of Butte, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Shasta and Sutter and in Washoe and Carson City Counties in Northern Nevada. Consequently, the results of operations and financial condition of the Company are dependent upon the general trends in these economies and, in particular, the commercial real estate markets. In addition, the concentration of the Company's operations in these areas of Northeastern California and Northwestern Nevada exposes it to greater risk than other banking companies with a wider geographic base in the event of catastrophes, such as earthquakes, fires and floods in these regions.
The rates of interest charged on variable rate loans are set at specific increments in relation to the Company's lending rate or other indexes such as the published prime interest rate or U.S. Treasury rates and vary with changes in these indexes. The frequency in which variable rate loans reprice can vary from one day to several years. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately 79% and 80%, respectively of the Company's loan portfolio was comprised of variable rate loans. Loans indexed to the prime interest rate were approximately 21% of the Company’s loan portfolio; these loans reprice within one day to three months of a change in the prime rate. The remainder of the Company's variable rate loans mostly consist of commercial real estate loans tied to U.S. Treasury rates and reprice every five years. While real estate mortgage, agricultural, commercial and consumer lending remain the foundation of the Company's historical loan mix, some changes in the mix have occurred due to the changing economic environment and the resulting change in demand for certain loan types.
Analysis of Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses. The Company attempts to minimize credit risk through its underwriting and credit review policies. The Company’s credit review process includes internally prepared credit reviews as well as contracting with an outside firm to conduct periodic credit reviews. The Company’s management and lending officers evaluate the loss exposure of classified and nonaccrual loans on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as loan conditions change. The Management Asset Resolution Committee (MARC) reviews the asset quality of criticized and past due loans monthly and reports the findings to the full Board of Directors. In management's opinion, this loan review system helps facilitate the early identification of potential criticized loans. MARC also provides guidance for the maintenance and timely disposition of OREO properties including developing financing and marketing programs to incent individuals to purchase OREO. MARC consists of the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Credit Officer, and the activities are governed by a formal written charter. The MARC meets monthly and reports to the Board of Directors.
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-03 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology, is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized costs, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in certain leases.
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for the reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration (PCD) that were previously classified as purchase credit impaired (PCI) and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with the Standard, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. The remaining noncredit discount (based on the adjusted amortized cost basis) will be accreted into interest income at the effective interest rate as of adoption. The Company recognized an increase in the ACL for loans totaling $529,000, as a cumulative effect adjustment from change in accounting policies, with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings, net of $156,000 in taxes. Additionally, the Company recognized an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments of $257,000, as a cumulative effect adjustment from change in accounting policies, with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings, net of $76,000 in taxes.
The allowance for credit losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of the provision for credit losses. Loan losses are charged to, and recoveries are credited to the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level deemed appropriate by management to provide for known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio.
In determining the allowance for credit losses, accruing loans with similar risk characteristics are generally evaluated collectively. The Company's policy is that loans designated as nonaccrual no longer share risk characteristics similar to other loans evaluated collectively and as such, all nonaccrual loans are individually evaluated for reserves. As of June 30, 2023, the Bank's nonaccrual loans comprised the entire population of loans individually evaluated. The Company's policy is that nonaccrual loans also represent the subset of loans in which borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty such that an evaluation of the source of repayment is required to determine if the nonaccrual loans should be categorized as collateral dependent.
The implementation of CECL also impacted the Company's ACL on unfunded loan commitments, as the ACL now represents expected credit losses over the contractual life of commitments not identified as unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The Reserve for Unfunded Commitments is estimated using the same reserve or coverage rates calculated on collectively evaluated loans following the application of a funding rate to the amount of the unfunded commitment. The funding rate represents management's estimate of the amount of the current unfunded commitment that will be funded over the remaining contractual life of the commitment and is based on historical data. Under CECL the ACL on unfunded loan commitments remains in Other Liabilities while the related provision expense is included in the provision for credit loss expense.
The following table provides certain information for the dates indicated with respect to the Company's allowance for credit losses as well as charge-off and recovery activity.

The Company places loans 90 days or more past due on nonaccrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. A loan is considered to be in the process of collection if, based on a probable specific event, it is expected that the loan will be repaid or brought current. Generally, this collection period would not exceed 90 days. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status the Company's general policy is to reverse and charge against current income previously accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income on such loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash is received, and future collection of principal is deemed by management to be probable. Where the collectability of the principal or interest on a loan is considered to be doubtful by management, it is placed on nonaccrual status prior to becoming 90 days delinquent.
The following table sets forth the amount of the Company's nonperforming assets as of the dates indicated.

Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2023 were $9.5 million, an increase of $8.3 million from $1.2 million at December 31, 2022. Included in the $9.5 million were $5 million in loans to one customer which were over 90 days past due but not nonaccrual. These loans, which were modified during June, were brought current in July. Performing loans past due thirty to eighty-nine days were $5.4 million on June 30, 2023 down from $8.8 million on December 31, 2022.
A substandard loan is not adequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or the value of the collateral pledged, if any. Total substandard loans increased by $15.5 million from $3.4 million on December 31, 2022 to $18.9 million on June 30, 2023. Loans classified as special mention decreased by $10.1 million from $22.8 million on December 31, 2022 to $12.7 million on June 30, 2023. The increase in substandard loans is primarily related to agricultural loans to one borrower. At June 30, 2023 the loans to this borrower are on accrual status; however, they could move to nonaccrual if the borrower's financial condition worsens, the Bank's collateral position in respect to these loans deteriorates, or if the borrower is unable to meet their payment obligations.
It is the policy of management to make additions to the allowance for credit losses so that it remains appropriate to absorb the inherent risk of loss in the portfolio. Management believes that the allowance on June 30, 2023 is appropriate. However, the determination of the amount of the allowance is judgmental and subject to economic conditions which cannot be predicted with certainty. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict whether charge-offs of loans in excess of the allowance may occur in future periods.
Loans Held for Sale. Included in the loan portfolio are loans which are 75% to 90% guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA), US Department of Agriculture Rural Business Cooperative Service (RBS) and Farm Services Agency (FSA). The guaranteed portion of these loans may be sold to a third party, with the Bank retaining the unguaranteed portion. The Company can receive a premium in excess of the adjusted carrying value of the loan at the time of sale.
As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had $384,000 and $2.3 million, respectively, in SBA government guaranteed loans held for sale. Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value and therefore may be reported at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair values for loans held for sale are based on either observable transactions of similar instruments or formally committed loan sale prices.
OREO represents real property acquired by the Bank either through foreclosure or through a deed in lieu thereof from the borrower. Repossessed assets include vehicles and other commercial assets acquired under agreements with delinquent borrowers. OREO holdings represented one property totaling $83,000 at June 30, 2023 and 2 properties totaling $369,000 at June 30, 2022. There were no OREO properties at December 31, 2022. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.61% at June 30, 2023 and 0.07% at December 31, 2022.

Investment Portfolio and Federal Funds Sold. Total investment securities were $468.9 million as of June 30, 2023 and $444.7 million as of December 31, 2022. Net unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities totaling $54,474,000 were recorded, net of $16,102,000 in tax benefit, as accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders' equity at June 30, 2023. Net unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities totaling $54.2 million were recorded, net of $16.0 million in tax benefit, as accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders' equity at December 31, 2022. No securities were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
The investment portfolio at June 30, 2023 consisted of $9.7 million in U.S. Treasury securities, $227.3 million in securities of U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, $106.7 million in securities of U.S. Government-agencies and 240 municipal securities totaling $125.2 million. The investment portfolio at December 31, 2022 consisted of $9.7 million in U.S. Treasury securities, $214.4 million in securities of U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, $99.6 million in securities of U.S. Government-agencies and 239 municipal securities totaling $121.0 million.
There were no Federal funds sold at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022; however, the Bank maintained interest earning balances at the Federal Reserve Bank totaling $61.3 million at June 30, 2023 and $154.4 million at December 31, 2022. The balance, on June 30, 2023, earns interest at the rate of 5.15%.
The Company classifies its investment securities as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Currently all securities are classified as available-for-sale. Securities classified as available-for-sale may be sold to implement the Company's asset/liability management strategies and in response to changes in interest rates, prepayment rates and similar factors.
Deposits. Total deposits decreased by $62.6 million from $1.5 billion at December 31, 2022, to $1.4 billion at June 30, 2023. The decrease in deposits includes decreases of $50.1 million in demand deposits, $30.1 million in money market accounts, $24.5 million in savings accounts partially offset by an increase in time deposits of $42.1 million. Beginning in April 2023 we began offering a time deposit promotion offering for a limited time 7-month and 11-month time deposits at an interest rate of 4%. We discontinued this promotion, which generated $46 million in deposits, on June 30, 2023. We attribute much of the decrease in total deposits to the current interest rate environment as we have seen some deposits leave for higher rates and some customers reluctant to borrow to fund operating expense and instead have drawn down their excess deposit balances.

Deposits represent the Bank's primary source of funds. Deposits are primarily core deposits in that they are demand, savings and time deposits generated from local businesses and individuals. These sources are considered to be relatively stable, long-term relationships thereby enhancing steady growth of the deposit base without major fluctuations in overall deposit balances. The Company experiences, to a small degree, some seasonality with the slower growth period between November through April, and the higher growth period from May through October. To assist in meeting any funding demands, the Company maintains several borrowing agreements as described below. There were no brokered deposits at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
Estimated uninsured deposits totaled $458 million and $460 million at December 31,2022 and June 30, 2023, respectively. Uninsured amounts are estimated based on the portion of the account balances in excess of FDIC insurance limits.
The following table presents the maturity distribution of the portion of time deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

Repurchase Agreements. The Bank offers a repurchase agreement product for its larger customers which use securities sold under agreements to repurchase as an alternative to interest-bearing deposits. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaling $20.5 million and $18.6 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively are secured by U.S. Government agency securities with a carrying amount of $36.4 million and $29.6 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Interest paid on this product is similar to, but less than, that which is paid on the Bank’s money market accounts; however, these are not deposits and are not FDIC insured.
Short-term Borrowing Arrangements. The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB) and can borrow up to $231 million from the FHLB secured by commercial and residential mortgage loans with carrying values totaling $397 million. The Company is required to hold FHLB stock as a condition of membership. At June 30, 2023, the Company held $6.2 million of FHLB stock which is recorded as a component of other assets.
The Company is also eligible to participate in the Bank Term Lending Program. The Federal Reserve Board, on March 12, 2023, announced the creation of a new Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP). The BTFP offers loans of up to one year in length to banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other eligible depository institutions pledging U.S. Treasuries, agency debt and mortgage-backed securities, and other qualifying assets as collateral. These assets will be valued at par. At June 30, 2023, $96 million in par value of securities were pledged as collateral under the BTFP.
In addition to its FHLB borrowing line and the BTFP, the Company has unsecured short-term borrowing agreements with two of its correspondent banks in the amounts of $50 million and $20 million. There were no outstanding borrowings to the FHLB, FRB or the correspondent banks at June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022
Note Payable. During 2021 and until January 25, 2022, the Company maintained a $15 million line of credit facility with one of its correspondent banks (the "Note"). Interest on the Note was payable at the "Prime Rate". There were no borrowings on the Note.
On January 25, 2022, the Company replaced this facility with a $15 million Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) and Promissory Note (the “Term Note”). The Term Note matures on January 25, 2035 and can be prepaid at any time. During the initial three years of the Loan Agreement the Term Note functions as an interest only revolving line of credit. Beginning on year four the Term Note converts into a term loan requiring semi-annual principal and interest payments and no further advances can be made. The proceeds of this lending facility shall be used by the Company for general corporation purposes, and to provide capital injections into the Bank. The Term Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.85% for the first 5 years and then at a floating interest rate linked to WSJ Prime Rate for the remaining eight-year term. The Loan Agreement provides for a $187,500 loan fee. The Note is secured by the common stock of the Bank. The Loan Agreement contains certain financial and non-financial covenants, which include, but are not limited to, a minimum leverage ratio at the Bank, a minimum total risk-based capital ratio at the Bank, a maximum Texas Ratio at the Bank, a minimum level of Tier 1 capital at the Bank and a return on average assets needed to generate a 1.25X debt service coverage ratio. The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of default, including, but not limited to, failure to pay principal or interest, the commencement of certain bankruptcy proceedings, and certain adverse regulatory events affecting the Company or the Bank. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement, the Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement may be accelerated. In March 2023 the Company borrowed $10 million on this note and used the proceeds to redeem its Trust Preferred securities as described below. The Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Term Note at June 30, 2023.
Interest expense recognized by the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2023, on the Term Note totaled $141,000.
Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures/ Trust Preferred Securities. On February 9, 2023, Plumas Bancorp submitted redemption notices to redeem $6,000,000 of trust preferred securities of Plumas Statutory Trust I (“Trust I”) and $4,000,000 of trust preferred securities of Plumas Statutory Trust II (“Trust II”). The trust preferred securities are being redeemed, along with an aggregate of $310,000 in common securities issued by the trusts and held by the Company and 100% of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures due 2032 held by Trust I and 100% of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures due 2035 held by Trust II underlying the trust preferred securities.
The trust preferred securities of Plumas Statutory Trust II were redeemed on March 15, 2023 and the trust preferred securities of Plumas Statutory Trust I were redeemed on March 27, 2023. The redemption prices for the junior subordinated debentures were equal to 100% of the respective principal amounts, which total $10,000,000, plus accrued interest up to the redemption date. The proceeds from the redemption of the junior subordinated debentures were simultaneously applied to redeem all of the outstanding common securities and the outstanding trust preferred securities at a price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the trust preferred securities plus accumulated but unpaid distributions up to the redemption date. Funding for the redemption was provided from borrowings on our Term Note as described above.
Interest expense recognized by the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 related to the subordinated debentures totaled $141,000 and $179,000, respectively.
Interest Rate Swaps
From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps or other instruments to manage our interest rate exposure and reduce the impact of future interest rate changes. These financial instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes. On May 26, 2020 we entered into two separate interest rate swap agreements, effectively converting our $10 million in Subordinated Debentures to fixed obligations. During the first quarter of 2023 we terminated these swaps recording a $1.7 million gain on termination.
Capital Resources
Shareholders’ equity increased by $9.6 million from $119.0 million at December 31, 2022 to $128.6 million at June 30, 2023. The $9.6 million increase was related to net income during the six months ended June 30, 2023, of $14.3 million and stock option and restricted stock activity of $367,000 partially offset by shareholder dividends of $2.9 million, an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.6 million and $554,000 related to the cumulative change from adoption of ASU 2016-13.
It is the policy of the Company to periodically distribute excess retained earnings to the shareholders through the payment of cash dividends. Such dividends help promote shareholder value and capital adequacy by enhancing the marketability of the Company’s stock. All authority to provide a return to the shareholders in the form of a cash or stock dividend or split rests with the Board of Directors. The Board will periodically, but on no regular schedule, review the appropriateness of a cash dividend payment. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies. The Company is subject to various restrictions on the payment of dividends. The Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share on May 15, 2023 and February 15, 2023 and a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share on February 15, 2022, May 16, 2022, August 15, 2022, and November 15, 2022, and a quarterly cash dividend of 14 cents per share on February 15, 2021, May 17, 2021, August 16, 2021, and November 15, 2021.
Capital Standards. The Company uses a variety of measures to evaluate its capital adequacy. Management reviews these capital measurements on a monthly basis and takes appropriate action to ensure that they are within established internal and external guidelines. The FDIC has promulgated risk-based capital guidelines for all state non-member banks such as the Bank. These guidelines establish a risk-adjusted ratio relating capital to different categories of assets and off-balance sheet exposures.
In July, 2013, the federal bank regulatory agencies adopted rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. depository organizations, sometimes called “Basel III,” that increased the minimum regulatory capital requirements for bank holding companies and depository institutions and implemented strict eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments. The Basel III capital rules include a minimum common equity Tier 1 ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, and a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0% (calculated as Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets). The minimum capital levels required to be considered “well capitalized” include a common equity Tier 1 ratio of 6.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% and a leverage ratio of 5.0%. In addition, the Basel III capital rules require that banking organizations maintain a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% above the minimum capital requirements in order to avoid restrictions on their ability to pay dividends, repurchase stock or pay discretionary bonuses. Including the capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, the Basel III capital rules require the following minimum ratios for a bank holding company or bank to be considered well capitalized: a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.0%; a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%, and a total capital ratio of 10.5%. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the thresholds necessary to be considered “well capitalized” under the Basel III framework.
Under the FRB’s Small Bank Holding Company and Savings and Loan Holding Company Policy Statement (the “Policy Statement”), qualifying bank holding companies with less than $3 billion in consolidated assets are exempt from the Basel III consolidated capital rules. The Company qualifies for treatment under the Policy Statement and is not currently subject to the Basel III consolidated capital rules at the bank holding company level. The Basel III capital rules continue to apply to the Bank.
In 2019, the federal bank regulators issued a rule establishing a “community bank leverage ratio” (the ratio of a bank’s tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets) that qualifying institutions with less than $10 billion in assets may elect to use in lieu of the generally applicable leverage and risk-based capital requirements under Basel III. A qualifying banking organization that elects to use the new ratio will be considered to have met all applicable federal regulatory capital and leverage requirements, including the minimum capital levels required to be considered “well capitalized” if it maintains a community bank leverage ratio exceeding 9%. The new rule became effective on January 1, 2020. Plumas Bank has chosen not to opt into the community bank leverage ratio at this time.

Management believes that Plumas Bank currently meets all its capital adequacy requirements.
The current and projected capital positions of the Bank and the impact of capital plans and long-term strategies are reviewed regularly by management. The Company policy is to maintain the Bank’s ratios above the prescribed well-capitalized ratios at all times.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Loan Commitments. In the normal course of business, there are various commitments outstanding to extend credits that are not reflected in the financial statements. Commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Annual review of commercial credit lines, letters of credit and ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances reduces the risk of loss associated with these commitments. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $191.8 million in unfunded loan commitments and $108,000 in letters of credit. This compares to $178.7 million in unfunded loan commitments and no letters of credit at December 31, 2022. Of the $191.8 million in unfunded loan commitments, $127.7 million and $64.1 million represented commitments to commercial and consumer customers, respectively. Of the total unfunded commitments at June 30, 2023, $127.6 million were secured by real estate, of which $72.9 million was secured by commercial real estate and $54.7 million was secured by residential real estate mostly in the form of equity lines of credit. The commercial loan commitments not secured by real estate primarily represent business lines of credit, while the consumer loan commitments not secured by real estate primarily represent revolving credit card lines and overdraft protection lines. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Operating Leases. The Company leases three depository branches, one of which is a land lease on which we own the building, two lending offices, three administrative offices and two non-branch automated teller machine locations. The expiration dates of the leases vary, with the first such lease expiring during 2024 and the last such lease expiring during 2044. Including variable lease expense, total rent expense was $319,000 and $300,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
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 and satisfy maturity of short-term borrowings. The Company’s liquidity needs are managed using assets or liabilities, or both. On the asset side, in addition to cash and due from banks, the Company maintains an investment portfolio which includes unpledged U.S. Government-sponsored agency securities that are classified as available-for-sale. On the liability side, liquidity needs are managed by offering competitive rates on deposit products and the use of established lines of credit.
The Company is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB) and can borrow up to $231 million from the FHLB secured by commercial and residential mortgage loans with carrying values totaling $397 million. The Company is also eligible to participate in the Bank Term Lending Program. The Company has pledged as collateral under the BTFP securities with a par value of $96 million. In addition to its FHLB borrowing line and the BTFP, the Company has unsecured short-term borrowing agreements with two of its correspondent banks in the amounts of $50 million and $20 million. There were no outstanding borrowings to the FHLB, FRB or the correspondent banks at June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2022.
Customer deposits are the Company’s primary source of funds. Total deposits decreased by $62.6 million from $1.5 billion at December 31, 2022, to $1.4 billion at June 30, 2023. Deposits are held in various forms with varying maturities. The Company estimates that it has approximately $460 million in uninsured deposits. Of this amount, $101 million represents deposits that are collateralized such as deposits of states, municipalities and tribal accounts.
The Company’s securities portfolio, Federal funds sold, FHLB advances, 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, funds obtained from the maturing or sale of investments, loan payments, and new deposits are invested in short-term earning assets, such as cash held at the FRB, 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 borrowings, will provide adequate liquidity for its operations in the foreseeable future.

|
4.5 |

The Plan Administrator may require proof of incompetence, minority, or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit.

Beneficiary. The Director shall have the right, at any time, to designate a Beneficiary to receive any benefit distributions under this Agreement upon the death of the Director. The Beneficiary designated under this Agreement may be the same as or different from the beneficiary designated under any other plan of the Company in which the Director participates. |
|
4.2 |
Beneficiary Designation: Change; Spousal Consent. The Director shall designate a Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form and delivering it to the Plan Administrator or its designated agent. If the Director names someone other than his or her spouse as a Beneficiary, a spousal consent, in the form designated by the Plan Administrator, must be signed by the Director’s spouse and returned to the Plan Administrator. The Director's beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Director or if the Director names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. The Director shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Plan Administrator’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. Upon the acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be cancelled.

If the Director has no surviving spouse, the benefits shall be made to the personal representative of the Director's estate. |
|
4.5 |
Facility of Distribution. If the Plan Administrator determines in its discretion that a benefit is to be distributed to a minor, to a person declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Plan Administrator may direct distribution of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person, or incapable person. The Plan Administrator may require proof of incompetence, minority, or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any distribution of a benefit shall be a distribution for the account of the Director and the Director’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Agreement for such distribution amount. |

1. THE BUSINESS OF PLUMAS BANCORP
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 ("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. In March 2023 the Trusts were dissolved. Plumas Bancorp's Principal Executive Office is located in Reno, Nevada.
The Bank operates thirteen branches in California, including branches in Alturas, Chester, Chico, Fall River Mills, Greenville, Kings Beach, Portola, Quincy, Redding, Susanville, Tahoe City, Truckee and Yuba City.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the consolidated accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Plumas Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Plumas Statutory Trust I and Trust II are not consolidated into the Company's consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, are accounted for under the equity method. The Company's investment in Trust I of $374,000 and Trust II of $188,000 are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022. The junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures issued and guaranteed by the Company and held by Trust I and Trust II are reflected as debt on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022. In March 2023 the Company redeemed the debentures and the Trusts were dissolved.
The accounting and reporting policies of Plumas Bancorp and subsidiary conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and prevailing practices within the banking industry. 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 June 30, 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and six-month periods. Our condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 is derived from audited financial statements.
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 (“GAAP”) 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 2022 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, 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.
Segment Information
Management has determined that since all of the 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 customer accounts for more than 10 percent of revenues for the Company or the Bank.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans
The allowance for credit losses (ACL) is a valuation account that is deducted from the loan's amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the recorded loan balance is confirmed as uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Regardless of the determination that a charge-off is appropriate for financial accounting purposes, the Company manages its loan portfolio by continually monitoring, where possible, a borrower's ability to pay through the collection of financial information, delinquency status, borrower discussion and the encouragement to repay in accordance with the original contract or modified terms, if appropriate.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company identified and accumulated loan cohort historical loss data beginning with the first quarter of 2004 and through the current period. In situations where the Company's actual loss history was not statistically relevant, the loss history of peers, defined as financial institutions with assets greater than seven hundred and fifty million and less than three billion, were utilized to create a minimum loss rate. In its loss forecasting framework, the Company incorporates forward-looking information through the use of macroeconomic scenarios applied over the forecasted life of the assets. These macroeconomic scenarios incorporate variables that have historically been key drivers of increases and decreases in credit losses. These variables include, but are not limited to changes in environmental conditions, such as California unemployment rates, California Housing Prices, California gross domestic product, California Retail Trade Earnings and Wall Street Journal Prime Rate.
A loan is considered to be collateral dependent when repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The ACL on collateral dependent loans is measured using the amortized cost basis of the financial asset less the fair value of the underlying collateral, adjusted for costs to sell when applicable. If the value of underlying collateral is determined to be less than the recorded amount of the loan, a specific reserve for that loan is recorded. If the Company determines that the loss represented by the specific reserve is uncollectable it records a charge-off for the uncollectable portion.
The Company has identified the following portfolio segments to evaluate and measure the allowance for credit loss:
Commercial: Primarily based on the cash flow of the borrower, and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. A borrower's cash flow may be unpredictable, and collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most often, collateral includes accounts receivable, inventory, or equipment. Collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise, may be illiquid and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. Actual and forecast changes in California gross domestic product paired with California unemployment are believed to be corollary to losses associated with these credits.
Agricultural: Loans secured by farmland represent unique risks that are associated with the operation of an agricultural business. The valuation of farmland can vary greatly over time based on the property's access to resources including but not limited to water, crop prices, foreign exchange rates, government regulation or restrictions, and the nature of ongoing capital investment needed to maintain the quality of the property. Loans secured by crop production, and livestock are especially vulnerable to two risk factors that are largely outside the control of Company and borrowers: commodity prices and weather conditions.
Real estate - residential: The most significant drivers of potential loss within the Company's residential real estate portfolio relate to general, regional, or individual changes in economic conditions and their effect on employment and borrowers cash flow. Risk in this portfolio is best measured by changes in borrower credit score and loan-to-value. Loss estimates are based on economic outlook and its effects on employment and the value of homes and the Bank’s historical loss experience adjusted to reflect the economic outlook and the unemployment rate.
Real estate - commercial: These credits are primarily susceptible to changes in the financial condition of the business operated by the property owner. This may be driven by changes in, among other things, industry challenges, factors unique to the operating geography of the borrower, change in the individual fortunes of the business owner, general economic conditions and changes in business cycles. When default is driven by issues related specifically to the business owner, collateral values tend to provide better repayment support and may result in little or no loss. Alternatively, when default is driven more by general economic conditions, the underlying collateral may have devalued more and thus result in larger losses in the event of default. The terms on these loans at origination typically have maturities from to years with amortization periods from to years.
Construction: While secured by real estate, construction loans represent a greater level of risk than term real estate loans due to the nature of the additional risks associated with not only the completion of construction within an estimated time period and budget, but also the need to either sell the building or reach a level of stabilized occupancy sufficient to generate the cash flows necessary to support debt service and operating costs. The Company seeks to mitigate the additional risks associated with construction lending by requiring borrowers to comply with lower loan to value ratios and additional covenants as well as strong tertiary support of guarantors. The loss forecasting model applies the historical rate of loss for similar loans over the expected construction life of the asset as adjusted for macroeconomic factors.
Home equity lines of credit (HELOC): Similar to residential real estate term loans, HELOC performance is also primarily driven by borrower cash flows based on employment status. However, HELOCs carry additional risks associated with the fact that most of these loans are secured by a deed of trust in a position that is junior to the primary lien holder. Furthermore, the risk that as the borrower's financial strength deteriorates, the outstanding balance on these credit lines may increase as they may only be canceled by the Company if certain limited criteria are met. In addition to the allowance for credit losses maintained as a percent of the outstanding loan balance, the Company maintains additional reserves for the unfunded portion of the HELOC.
Automobile: Automobile loans are susceptible to three primary risks: non-payment due to income loss, over-extension of credit and, when the borrower is unable to pay, shortfall in collateral value, if any. Typically, non-payment is due to loss of job and will follow general economic trends in the marketplace driven primarily by rises in the unemployment rate. Loss of collateral value can be due to market demand shifts, damage to collateral itself or a combination of those factors.
Other: Other loans primarily consist of consumer loans which are similar in nature to automobile loans and overdrafts.
Unfunded commitments: The estimated credit losses associated with these unfunded lending commitments are calculated using the same models and methodologies noted above and incorporate utilization assumptions at time of default. The reserve for unfunded commitments is maintained on the balance sheet in other liabilities.
Reclassification
Some items in the prior year consolidated financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or shareholders' equity.
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-03 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology. This is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized costs, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in certain leases. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available for sale debt securities.
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for the reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration (PCD) that were previously classified as purchased credit impaired (PCI) and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with the Standard, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. The remaining noncredit discount (based on the adjusted amortized costs basis) will be accreted into interest income at the effective interest rate as of adoption. The Company recognized an increase in the ACL for loans totaling $529,000, as a cumulative effect adjustment from change in accounting policies, with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings, net of $156,000 in taxes. Additionally, the Company recognized an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments of $257,000, as a cumulative effect adjustment from change in accounting policies, with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings, net of $76,000 in taxes.
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks. For transactions that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate and the modification will be considered "minor" so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. ASU 2020-04 also provides numerous optional expedients for derivative accounting. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The ASU 2022-06 deferred the sunset date of ASU 2020-04 to December 2024. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic within the Codification, the amendments in this ASU must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. The adoption of the ASU provisions did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company has an insignificant number of financial instruments applicable to this ASU.
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The ASU eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance for troubled debt restructurings and requires enhanced disclosures about loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. This ASU also requires enhanced disclosure for loans that have been charged off. The adoption of the ASU provisions did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 consisted of the following, in thousands:
Unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities totaling $54,474,000 were recorded, net of $16,102,000 in tax benefit, as accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders' equity at June 30, 2023. No securities were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities totaling $54,183,000 were recorded, net of $16,017,000 in tax expense, as accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders' equity at December 31, 2022. securities were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
There were no transfers of available-for-sale investment securities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and twelve months ended December 31, 2022. There were no securities classified as held-to-maturity at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
Investment securities with unrealized losses at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are summarized and classified according to the duration of the loss period as follows, in thousands:
At June 30, 2023, the Company held 412 securities of which 131 were in a loss position for less than twelve months and 249 were in a loss position for twelve months or more. Of the 412 securities 3 are U.S. Treasury securities, 124 are U.S. Government-sponsored agencies collateralized by residential mortgage obligations, 45 were U.S. Government agencies collateralized by commercial mortgage obligations and 240 were obligations of states and political subdivisions. The unrealized losses relate principally to market rate conditions. All of the securities continue to pay as scheduled. For available-for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized costs basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. At June 30, 2023, neither of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell was met for any of securities in an unrealized loss position.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment in debt securities at June 30, 2023 by contractual maturity are shown below, in thousands.
Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.
Investment securities with amortized costs totaling $302,590,000 and $189,358,000 and estimated fair values totaling $267,514,000 and $166,728,000 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, were pledged to secure deposits, repurchase agreements and Federal Reserve Bank borrowings.

4. LOANS AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Outstanding loans are summarized below, in thousands:
To estimate expected losses the Company generally utilizes historical loss trends and the remaining contractual lives of the loan portfolios to determine estimated credit losses through a reasonable and supportable forecast period. Individual loan credit quality indicators including loan grade and borrower repayment performance have been statistically correlated with historical credit losses and various econometrics, including California unemployment rates, California Housing Prices, California gross domestic product, California Retail Trade Earnings and Wall Street Journal Prime Rate. Model forecasts may be adjusted for inherent limitations or biases that have been identified through independent validation and back-testing of model performance to actual realized results. At both January 1, 2023, the adoption and implementation date of ASC Topic 326, and June 30, 2023, the Company utilized a reasonable and supportable forecast period of approximately four quarters and obtained the forecast data from publicly available sources. The Company also considered the impact of portfolio concentrations, changes in underwriting practices, imprecision in its economic forecasts, and other risk factors that might influence its loss estimation process. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2023 appropriately reflected expected credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at that date.
In determining the allowance for credit losses, accruing loans with similar risk characteristics are generally evaluated collectively. The Company's policy is that loans designated as nonaccrual no longer share risk characteristics similar to other loans evaluated collectively and as such, all nonaccrual loans are individually evaluated for reserves. As of June 30, 2023 the Bank's nonaccrual loans comprised the entire population of loans individually evaluated. The Company's policy is that nonaccrual loans also represent the subset of loans where borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty where an evaluation of the source of repayment is required to determine if the nonaccrual loans should be categorized as collateral dependent.
The implementation of CECL also impacted the Company's ACL on unfunded loan commitments, as the ACL now represents expected credit losses over the contractual life of commitments not identified as unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The Reserve for Unfunded Commitments is estimated using the same reserve or coverage rates calculated on collectively evaluated loans following the application of a funding rate to the amount of the unfunded commitment. The funding rate represents management's estimate of the amount of the current unfunded commitment that will be funded over the remaining contractual life of the commitment and is based on historical data. Under CECL the ACL on unfunded loan commitments remains in Other Liabilities while any related provision expense is included in the provision for credit loss expense.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses, in thousands, were as follows:
Salaries and employee benefits totaling $509,000 and $875,000 have been deferred as loan origination costs during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Salaries and employee benefits totaling $1,071,000 and $1,937,000 have been deferred as loan origination costs during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company assigns a risk rating to all loans and periodically, but not less than annually, performs detailed reviews of all criticized and classified loans over $100,000 to identify credit risks and to assess the overall collectability of the portfolio. These risk ratings are also subject to examination by independent specialists engaged by the Company and the Company’s regulators. During these internal reviews, management monitors and analyzes the financial condition of borrowers and guarantors, trends in the industries in which borrowers operate and the fair values of collateral securing these loans. These credit quality indicators are used to assign a risk rating to each individual loan.
The risk ratings can be grouped into three major categories, defined as follows:
Special Mention – Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard – A substandard loan is not adequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or the value of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Well defined weaknesses include a project's lack of marketability, inadequate cash flow or collateral support, failure to complete construction on time or the project's failure to fulfill economic expectations. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful – Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered to be pass-rated loans.
For other loans, which are primarily consumer loans and automobile loans the Company evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan and by payment activity.
The following table shows the loan portfolio allocated by management's internal risk ratings or payment activity at the dates indicated, in thousands:
The following table show information related to impaired loans at December 31, 2022, in thousands.
The following table shows the ending balance of nonaccrual loans by loan category as of the date indicated:
The Company places loans 90 days or more past due on nonaccrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. A loan is considered to be in the process of collection if, based on a probable specific event, it is expected that the loan will be repaid or brought current. Generally, this collection period would not exceed 90 days. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status the Company's general policy is to reverse and charge against current income previously accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income on such loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash is received, and future collection of principal is deemed by management to be probable. Where the collectability of the principal or interest on a loan is considered to be doubtful by management, it is placed on nonaccrual status prior to becoming 90 days delinquent.
At
June

2023, there were
three nonaccrual loans with amortized costs totaling

5. 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 $191.8 million and $178.7 million and stand-by letters of credit of $108,000 and $0 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Of the loan commitments outstanding at June 30, 2023, $54.1 million 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. The reserve for unfunded commitments at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 totaled $924,000 and $341,000, respectively.
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 June 30, 2023.

6. 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.
Shares of common stock issuable under stock options for which the exercise prices were greater than the average market prices were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their antidilutive effect. Options having an antidilutive effect during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, and 2022 totaled 114,994. |

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In May 2022, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which provides for the grant of up to 576,550 shares of common stock, including 126,550 shares that remained available for grant under the 2013 Stock Option Plan when the 2022 Plan was adopted. The 2022 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. The frequency, amount and terms of stock-based awards may be determined by the Board of Directors or its compensation committee, consistent with the terms and purposes of the 2022 plan.
In May 2013, the Company established the 2013 Stock Option Plan for which 172,117 shares of common stock are reserved. With the establishment of the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, no further options may be issued under the 2013 Stock Option Plan, though options previously granted continue to be outstanding and governed by the plan.
No options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

8. INCOME TAXES
The Company files its income taxes on a consolidated basis with its subsidiary. Income tax expense is the total of current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the reported amount of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. On the consolidated balance sheet, net deferred tax assets are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets.
When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
Interest expense and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits, if any, are classified as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. There have been no significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties for the six months ended June 30, 2023. |

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company measures fair value under the fair value hierarchy described below.
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active exchange markets.
Level 2: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Model based techniques that use one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use on pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include management judgment and estimation which may be significant.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Management monitors the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period.
Management evaluates the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total assets, total liabilities or total earnings.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments, at December 31, 2022 follows, in thousands:
Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. Those estimates that are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision are included in Level 3. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the fair values presented.
These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument for sale at one time, nor do they attempt to estimate the value of anticipated future business related to the instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates.
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value:
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2023 are summarized below, in thousands:
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2022 are summarized below, in thousands:
The fair value of securities available-for-sale equals quoted market price, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined using quoted market prices for similar securities or matrix pricing. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was derived from discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the forward interest rate curve adjusted for our credit risk. There were no changes in the valuation techniques used during 2023 or 2022. Transfers between hierarchy measurement levels are recognized by the Company as of the beginning of the reporting period. Changes in fair market value are recorded in other comprehensive income.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at June 30, 2023 are summarized below, in thousands:
There were no assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis on December 31, 2022. The Company has no liabilities which are reported at fair value.
The following methods were used to estimate fair value.
Collateral-Dependent Impaired Loans: The Bank does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, fair value adjustments are recorded on these loans to reflect partial write-downs, through charge-offs or specific reserve allowances, that are based on fair value estimates of the underlying collateral. The fair value estimates for collateral-dependent impaired loans are generally based on recent real estate appraisals or broker opinions, obtained from independent third parties, which are frequently adjusted by management to reflect current conditions and estimated selling costs (Level 3). Impairment charges of $868,000 were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2023, related to the above impaired loans. No impairment charges were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Other Real Estate: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain real estate properties classified as other real estate owned are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property which are commonly adjusted by management to reflect current conditions and selling costs (Level 3). Appraisals for other real estate are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, a member of the Loan Administration Department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. On a quarterly basis, the Company compares the actual selling price of similar collateral that has been liquidated to the most recent appraised value for unsold properties to determine what additional adjustment, if any, should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at fair value. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.

| Loans and Leases Receivable, Allowance for Loan Losses Policy [Policy Text Block] | Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans
The allowance for credit losses (ACL) is a valuation account that is deducted from the loan's amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the recorded loan balance is confirmed as uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Regardless of the determination that a charge-off is appropriate for financial accounting purposes, the Company manages its loan portfolio by continually monitoring, where possible, a borrower's ability to pay through the collection of financial information, delinquency status, borrower discussion and the encouragement to repay in accordance with the original contract or modified terms, if appropriate.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company identified and accumulated loan cohort historical loss data beginning with the first quarter of 2004 and through the current period. In situations where the Company's actual loss history was not statistically relevant, the loss history of peers, defined as financial institutions with assets greater than seven hundred and fifty million and less than three billion, were utilized to create a minimum loss rate. In its loss forecasting framework, the Company incorporates forward-looking information through the use of macroeconomic scenarios applied over the forecasted life of the assets. These macroeconomic scenarios incorporate variables that have historically been key drivers of increases and decreases in credit losses. These variables include, but are not limited to changes in environmental conditions, such as California unemployment rates, California Housing Prices, California gross domestic product, California Retail Trade Earnings and Wall Street Journal Prime Rate.
A loan is considered to be collateral dependent when repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The ACL on collateral dependent loans is measured using the amortized cost basis of the financial asset less the fair value of the underlying collateral, adjusted for costs to sell when applicable. If the value of underlying collateral is determined to be less than the recorded amount of the loan, a specific reserve for that loan is recorded. If the Company determines that the loss represented by the specific reserve is uncollectable it records a charge-off for the uncollectable portion.
The Company has identified the following portfolio segments to evaluate and measure the allowance for credit loss:
Commercial: Primarily based on the cash flow of the borrower, and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. A borrower's cash flow may be unpredictable, and collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most often, collateral includes accounts receivable, inventory, or equipment. Collateral securing these loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise, may be illiquid and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. Actual and forecast changes in California gross domestic product paired with California unemployment are believed to be corollary to losses associated with these credits.
Agricultural: Loans secured by farmland represent unique risks that are associated with the operation of an agricultural business. The valuation of farmland can vary greatly over time based on the property's access to resources including but not limited to water, crop prices, foreign exchange rates, government regulation or restrictions, and the nature of ongoing capital investment needed to maintain the quality of the property. Loans secured by crop production, and livestock are especially vulnerable to two risk factors that are largely outside the control of Company and borrowers: commodity prices and weather conditions.
Real estate - residential: The most significant drivers of potential loss within the Company's residential real estate portfolio relate to general, regional, or individual changes in economic conditions and their effect on employment and borrowers cash flow. Risk in this portfolio is best measured by changes in borrower credit score and loan-to-value. Loss estimates are based on economic outlook and its effects on employment and the value of homes and the Bank’s historical loss experience adjusted to reflect the economic outlook and the unemployment rate.
Real estate - commercial: These credits are primarily susceptible to changes in the financial condition of the business operated by the property owner. This may be driven by changes in, among other things, industry challenges, factors unique to the operating geography of the borrower, change in the individual fortunes of the business owner, general economic conditions and changes in business cycles. When default is driven by issues related specifically to the business owner, collateral values tend to provide better repayment support and may result in little or no loss. Alternatively, when default is driven more by general economic conditions, the underlying collateral may have devalued more and thus result in larger losses in the event of default. The terms on these loans at origination typically have maturities from to years with amortization periods from to years.
Construction: While secured by real estate, construction loans represent a greater level of risk than term real estate loans due to the nature of the additional risks associated with not only the completion of construction within an estimated time period and budget, but also the need to either sell the building or reach a level of stabilized occupancy sufficient to generate the cash flows necessary to support debt service and operating costs. The Company seeks to mitigate the additional risks associated with construction lending by requiring borrowers to comply with lower loan to value ratios and additional covenants as well as strong tertiary support of guarantors. The loss forecasting model applies the historical rate of loss for similar loans over the expected construction life of the asset as adjusted for macroeconomic factors.
Home equity lines of credit (HELOC): Similar to residential real estate term loans, HELOC performance is also primarily driven by borrower cash flows based on employment status. However, HELOCs carry additional risks associated with the fact that most of these loans are secured by a deed of trust in a position that is junior to the primary lien holder. Furthermore, the risk that as the borrower's financial strength deteriorates, the outstanding balance on these credit lines may increase as they may only be canceled by the Company if certain limited criteria are met. In addition to the allowance for credit losses maintained as a percent of the outstanding loan balance, the Company maintains additional reserves for the unfunded portion of the HELOC.
Automobile: Automobile loans are susceptible to three primary risks: non-payment due to income loss, over-extension of credit and, when the borrower is unable to pay, shortfall in collateral value, if any. Typically, non-payment is due to loss of job and will follow general economic trends in the marketplace driven primarily by rises in the unemployment rate. Loss of collateral value can be due to market demand shifts, damage to collateral itself or a combination of those factors.
Other: Other loans primarily consist of consumer loans which are similar in nature to automobile loans and overdrafts.
Unfunded commitments: The estimated credit losses associated with these unfunded lending commitments are calculated using the same models and methodologies noted above and incorporate utilization assumptions at time of default. The reserve for unfunded commitments is maintained on the balance sheet in other liabilities.

| New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-03 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology. This is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized costs, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in certain leases. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available for sale debt securities.
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for the reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration (PCD) that were previously classified as purchased credit impaired (PCI) and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with the Standard, management did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. The remaining noncredit discount (based on the adjusted amortized costs basis) will be accreted into interest income at the effective interest rate as of adoption. The Company recognized an increase in the ACL for loans totaling $529,000, as a cumulative effect adjustment from change in accounting policies, with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings, net of $156,000 in taxes. Additionally, the Company recognized an increase in the reserve for unfunded commitments of $257,000, as a cumulative effect adjustment from change in accounting policies, with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings, net of $76,000 in taxes.
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks. For transactions that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate and the modification will be considered "minor" so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. ASU 2020-04 also provides numerous optional expedients for derivative accounting. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The ASU 2022-06 deferred the sunset date of ASU 2020-04 to December 2024. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic within the Codification, the amendments in this ASU must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. The adoption of the ASU provisions did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company has an insignificant number of financial instruments applicable to this ASU.
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The ASU eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance for troubled debt restructurings and requires enhanced disclosures about loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. This ASU also requires enhanced disclosure for loans that have been charged off. The adoption of the ASU provisions did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
