NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.   GENERAL

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

2.   CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years’ balances to conform to classifications used in 2002.

Certain disclosures normally presented in the notes to the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Bank’s 2001Annual Report to Shareholders. The results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 may not necessarily be indicative of future operating results.

In preparing such financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the periods reported. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

3.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding commitments to extend credit which are not reflected in the financial statements, including loan commitments of approximately $39,643,000 and $35,753,000 and letters of credit of $207,000 and $279,000 at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

Approximately $5,638,000 of the loan commitments outstanding at June 30, 2002 are for real estate construction loans and are expected to fund within the next twelve months. The remaining commitments primarily relate to revolving lines of credit or other commercial loans, and many of these are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each loan commitment and the amount and type of collateral obtained, if any, are evaluated on an individual basis. Collateral held varies, but may include real property, bank deposits, debt or equity securities or business assets.

Stand-by letters of credit are conditional commitments written to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily related to the purchases of inventory by commercial customers and are typically short term in nature. Credit risk is similar to that involved in extending loan commitments to customers and accordingly, evaluation and collateral requirements similar to those for loan commitments are used.

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

INTRODUCTION

Plumas Bancorp (the “Company”) is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol “PLBC”. The following discussion and analysis sets forth certain statistical information relating to the Company as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB and the financial statements and notes thereto included in Plumas Bank’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001. 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, are 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. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in “MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS”. Therefore, the information set forth herein should be carefully considered when evaluating the business prospects of Plumas Bancorp.

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

OVERVIEW

The Company’s net income increased $213,000, or 17.7%, to $1,419,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $1,206,000 for the same period in 2001. The primary contributors to the increase in net income for the first six months of 2002 were a $900 thousand increase in net interest income before provision for loan losses and a $140 thousand increase in non-interest income, partially offset by a $538 thousand increase in non-interest expenses, a $214 thousand increase in income tax expense and a $75 thousand increase in the provision for loan losses.

Total assets at June 30, 2002 increased $11.2 million, or 4.1%, to $286.3 million from $275.1 million at December 31, 2001. Outpacing the total asset growth was the growth in the loan portfolio, which grew $18.0 million, or 9.8%, to $201.7 million during the same period. The growth in the Company’s loans was primarily funded by a decline in the Federal funds sold balances and growth in deposits. Federal funds sold balances declined $10.0 million during this period while total deposits grew $10.6 million, or 4.2%, to $262.8 million at June 30, 2002 from $252.2 million at December 31, 2001.

The Company’s earnings increased significantly during this period resulting in improvement in the return on average asset and equity ratios, the positive affect of improved earnings was slightly offset by the Company’s overall growth.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002

Net interest income before provision for loan losses. Net interest income before provision for loan losses is the difference between interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities. Net interest income, on a nontax-equivalent basis, was $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $900,000, or 14.9%, from $6.0 million for the same period in 2001. The increase in net interest income was attributed to declines in rates paid on the Company’s deposits combined with volume increases in the Company’s average loan and Federal funds sold balances, partially offset by declines in the yields on the Company’s interest-earning assets. The Company’s average loan balances were $190.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, up $22.3 million, or 13.3%, from the $168.5 million for the same period in 2001. Offsetting the benefits of the increased loan volume was the impact of the 2001 falling interest rate environment on the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company’s average loan yield was 8.27% for the six months ending June 30, 2002, down 149 basis points, or 15.3%, from the 9.76% for the same period in 2001.

Interest expense decreased $1.5 million, or 41.8%, to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, down from $3.5 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributed to rate decreases for both time and money market deposits, slightly offset by volume increases in money market deposits. The Company’s average rate paid on time deposits was 3.37% for the six months ending June 30, 2002, down 222 basis points, or 39.7%, from the 5.59% paid for the same period in 2001. The Company’s average rate paid on money market deposits was 1.53% for the six months ending June 30, 2002, down 223 basis points, or 59.3%, from the 3.76% paid for the same period in 2001. The Company’s average money market deposit balances were $48.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, up $8.5 million, or 21.3%, from the $39.8 million for the same period in 2001.

Net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased 5 basis points, or 0.9%, to 5.66%, up from 5.61% for the same period in 2001. The Company’s declining cost of funds and increasing loan volumes offset the adverse effects of the 2001 falling interest rate environment on the Company’s interest-earning assets and resulted in the overall increase in the net interest margin when comparing the periods of 2002 and 2001.

Provision for loan losses. The Company recorded $525,000 in provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2002, versus $450,000 during the same period ended June 30, 2001. The increase in the provision for loan losses during these periods is reflective of the increasing loan volumes. The Company assesses its loan quality monthly to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. Based on information currently available, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb potential risks in the portfolio. However, no assurance can be given that the Company may not sustain charge-offs which are in excess of the allowance in any given period.

Non-interest income. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, total non-interest income increased $140,000, or 10.2%, to $1,518,000, up from $1,378,000 for the comparable period in 2001. The increase in non-interest income is primarily due to increases in the number of fee generating accounts opened, growth in alternative investment fee income, gains on the sale of available-for-sale investment securities and restructuring of the Bank’s service charge fee schedule in February 2002, partially offset by reduced gains on the sale of loans and other real estate owned.

Non-interest expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, non-interest expenses increased $538,000, or 10.7%, to $5.6 million, up from $5.0 million for the comparable period in 2001. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily due to increased salary and benefit costs resulting from staffing additions to manage the overall growth of the Company, higher employee health-care costs, additional depreciation expense resulting from installation of an automated teller platform system, increased professional service fees related to enhancing the systems securing customer and company information and costs incurred to complete the merger and reorganization of the Bank under the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002

Net interest income before provision for loan losses. Net interest income, on a nontax-equivalent basis, was $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $494,000, or 16.2%, from $3.0 million for the same period in 2001. The increase in net interest income was attributed to declines in rates paid on the Company’s deposits combined with volume increases in the Company’s average loan balances, partially offset by declines in the yield on the Company’s interest-earning assets. The Company’s average loan balances were $196.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, up $24.2 million, or 14.0%, from the $172.2 million for the same period in 2001. Offsetting the benefits of the increased loan volume was the impact of the 2001 falling interest rate environment on the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company’s average loan yield was 8.16% for the three months ending June 30, 2002, down 147 basis points, or 15.3%, from the 9.63% for the same period in 2001.

Interest expense decreased $707,000, or 41.9%, to $981 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2002, down from $1.7 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributed to rate decreases for both time and money market deposits. The Company’s average rate paid on time deposits was 3.18% for the three months ending June 30, 2002, down 226 basis points, or 41.5%, from the 5.44% paid for the same period in 2001. The Company’s average rate paid on money market deposits was 1.54% for the three months ending June 30, 2002, down 184 basis points, or 54.4%, from the 3.38% paid for the same period in 2001.

The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2002 increased 3 basis points, or 0.5%, to 5.74%, up from 5.71% for the same period in 2001. The Company’s declining cost of funds and increasing loan volumes offset the adverse effects of the 2001 falling interest rate environment on the Company’s interest-earning assets and resulted in the overall increase in the net interest margin when comparing the periods of 2002 and 2001.

Provision for loan losses. The Company recorded $300,000 in provision for loan losses for both three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. The provision for loan losses during these periods is reflective of the increasing loan volumes. The Company assesses its loan quality monthly to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. Based on information currently available, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb potential risks in the portfolio. However, no assurance can be given that the Company may not sustain charge-offs which are in excess of the allowance in any given period.

Non-interest income. During the three months ended June 30, 2002, total non-interest income decreased $10,000, or 1.3%, to $788,000, down from $798,000 for the comparable period in 2001. The decrease in non-interest income is primarily due to reduced gains on the sales of loans and investment securities partially offset by increases in the number of fee generating accounts and the restructuring of the Bank’s service charge fee schedule in February 2002.

Non-interest expenses. During the three months ended June 30, 2002, non-interest expenses increased $268,000, or 10.4%, to $2.8 million, up from $2.6 million for the comparable period in 2001. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily due to additional depreciation expense resulting from installation of an automated teller platform system, increased professional service fees related to enhancing the systems securing customer and company information, costs incurred to complete the merger and reorganization of the Bank under the Company and increased insurance costs partially offset by decreases in the Company’s regulatory assessments.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loan portfolio composition. The Company continues to manage the mix of its loan portfolio consistent with its identity as a community bank serving the financing needs of all sectors of the area it serves. Although the Company offers a broad array of financing options, it continues to concentrate its focus on small to medium 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 of June 30, 2002, commercial loans grew to 35.4% of the loan portfolio versus 27.2% at December 31, 2001. Real estate loans fell to 29.6% of the portfolio as of June 30, 2002 as compared to 35.2% at December 31, 2001. Agricultural loans decreased slightly to 10.5% of the loan portfolio versus 11.9% at December 31, 2001. Consumer loans also decreased slightly to 24.5% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2002 compared to 25.7% at December 31, 2001.

Nonperforming assets. Nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans were 0.90% as of June 30, 2002, up slightly from 0.65% at December 31, 2001. Nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets were 0.68% as of June 30, 2002 up slightly from 0.48% at December 31, 2001. The increases in these ratios was the result of increases in nonaccrual loans, which increased $611,000 to $1.8 million at June 30, 2002 from $1.2 million at December 31, 2001.

Analysis of allowance for loan losses. Net charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2002 totaled $193,000, or 0.10% of total loans, compared to $160,000, or 0.09% of total loans, for the comparable period in 2001. The allowance for loan losses stood at 1.23% of total loans as of June 30, 2002, versus 1.17% of total loans as of December 31, 2001. Based on an evaluation of the credit quality of the loan portfolio and delinquency trends and charge-offs, management believes the allowance for loan losses to be adequate.

Investment securities and Federal funds sold. Total investment securities and Federal funds sold decreased $12.2 million, or 18.5%, to $53.6 million as of June 30, 2002, down from $65.8 million at December 31, 2001. The decrease is attributable to the Company’s loan growth, which outpaced the Company’s deposit growth. Federal funds sold and proceeds from maturing short-term U.S. Treasuries and longer-term corporate bonds were used to fund the Company’s continued loan growth.

The Company’s investment in U.S. Treasury securities and direct obligations of U.S. agencies increased to 76.4% of the investment portfolio, excluding Federal funds sold, as of June 30, 2002, versus 72.1% at December 31, 2001. The Company’s investment in corporate bonds declined to 15.0% of the investment portfolio as of June 30, 2002, versus 21.2% at December 31, 2001. The remainder of the Company’s investment portfolio consists of municipal obligations and interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions.

Deposits. Total deposits were $262.8 million as of June 30, 2002, an increase of $10.6 million, or 4.2%, from the December 31, 2001 balance of $252.2 million. The Company continues to manage the mix of its deposits consistent with its identity as a community bank serving the financial needs of its customers. As of June 30, 2002, non-interest bearing demand deposits and interest checking deposits increased slightly to 35.2% of total deposits versus 34.1% at December 31, 2001. Money market and savings deposits also increased slightly to 32.9% of total deposits as of June 30, 2002 compared to 31.6% as of December 31, 2001. Time deposits decreased to 31.9% of total deposits as of June 30, 2002 compared to 34.3% at December 31, 2001.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2002 increased $864,000, or 4.2%, to $21.5 million from $20.6 million as of December 31, 2001. This increase was primarily due to the retention of current period earnings, partially offset by a $703,000 cash dividend paid in the second quarter.

The Company’s leverage (Tier 1 capital to average total assets) ratios were 7.3% and 7.4% at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The Company’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios were 9.0% and 9.3% for June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The Company’s total risk-based capital ratios were 10.1% and 10.3% for June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. These ratios exceed the minimum required capital ratios for bank holding companies.

LIQUIDITY

The Company manages its liquidity to provide the ability to generate funds to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals (both anticipated and unanticipated), fund customers’ borrowing needs, satisfy maturity of short-term borrowings and maintain reserve requirements. The Company’s liquidity needs are managed using assets or liabilities, or both. On the asset side, in addition to Federal Funds sold, the Company maintains an investment portfolio containing U.S. government securities and agency securities that are classified as available for sale. On the liability side, liquidity needs are managed by changing competitive offering rates on deposits products and the use of established lines of credit from other financial institutions and the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Customer deposits are the Company’s primary source of funds. Deposits grew $10.6 million, or 4.2%, from the December 31, 2001 balance of $252.2 million. Those funds are held in various forms with varying maturities. The Company does not accept brokered deposits. The Company’s securities portfolio, Federal funds sold, and cash and due from banks serve as the primary sources of liquidity, providing adequate funding for loans during periods of high loan demand. During periods of decreased lending, funds obtained from the maturing or sale of investments, loan payments, and new deposits are invested in short-term earning assets, such as Federal funds sold and investment securities, to serve as a source of funding for future loan growth. Management believes that the Company’s available sources of funds, including short-term borrowings, will provide adequate liquidity for its operations in the foreseeable future.
