NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. GENERAL
Plumas Bancorp (the Company) was incorporated on January 17, 2002 and subsequently obtained approval from various state and federal agencies to be a bank holding company in connection with the merger of Plumas Bank (the Bank). The Company became the sole shareholder of the Bank on June 21, 2002 pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization and Merger Agreement dated April 3, 2002. Pursuant to that plan, on June 21, 2002 each outstanding share of the Banks common stock was exchanged for one share of common stock of the Company.
The Companys subsidiaries include the Bank and Plumas Statutory Trust I, which was formed solely to facilitate the issuance of trust preferred securities. The Bank operates nine branches in California, including branches in Alturas, Chester, Fall River Mills, Greenville, Portola, Quincy, Susanville, Truckee and Westwood. The Banks deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to applicable legal limits. The Banks primary source of revenue is generated from providing loans to customers who are predominately small and middle market businesses and individuals residing in the surrounding areas.
2. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Companys financial position at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years balances to conform to classifications used in 2003.
Certain disclosures normally presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders. The results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 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.

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding commitments to extend credit which are not reflected in the financial statements, including loan commitments of $52,222,000 and $49,267,000 and letters of credit of $1,947,000 and $509,000 at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.
Approximately $12,218,000 of the loan commitments outstanding at September 30, 2003 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.
On April 30, 2003 the Company announced that it has entered into an agreement with Placer Sierra Bank to purchase five branches from the Auburn, California based bank, subject to regulatory approval. The five branches are in the communities of Quincy, Portola, Loyalton, Truckee and Kings Beach, California. As of September 30, 2003, total deposits at these branches amounted to $52.7 million. It is expected that assets acquired will include premises and equipment of approximately $600 thousand and a core deposit intangible estimated to range between $2.2 million and $2.5 million that will be amortized using the straight-line method over a period of ten years.
5. EARNINGS PER SHARE COMPUTATION
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock options were exercised. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period plus the dilutive effect of options. Earnings per share computations have been retroactively adjusted for stock splits for all periods presented.

6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Total comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 totaled $473,000 and $969,000, respectively. Comprehensive income is comprised of net unrealized (losses) gains, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities, which were $(309,000) and $148,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, together with net income.
7
Total comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 totaled $2,120,000 and $2,503,000, respectively. Comprehensive income is comprised of net unrealized (losses) gains, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities, which were $(178,000) and $263,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, along with net income. At September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, accumulated other comprehensive income totaled $232,000 and $410,000, respectively, and is reflected as a component of shareholders equity.
7. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46), which requires the consolidation of variable interest entities, as defined. FIN 46 is currently applicable to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. In October 2003, the FASB agreed to defer the effective date of FIN 46 for variable interests held by public companies in all entities that were acquired prior to February 1, 2003. This deferral is to allow time for certain implementation issues to be addressed through the issuance of a potential modification to the interpretation. The deferral revised the effective date for consolidation of these entities to the period ended December 31, 2003 for calendar year end companies. Based on the current rules, the Company does not believe that the implementation of the interpretation will have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified by the Company after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company has previously accounted for its mandatorily redeemable cumulative trust preferred securities in a manner consistent with the Statement and, in managements opinion, adoption of this Statement did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
On April 30, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments by providing guidance related to circumstances under which a contract with a net investment meets the characteristics of a derivative as discussed in Statement 133. The Statement also clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component. The Statement is intended to result in more consistent reporting for derivative contracts and must be applied prospectively for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. In managements opinion, adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.
8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
At September 30, 2003, the Company had two stock-based compensation plans, the Plumas Bank 2001 and 1991 Stock Option Plans. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
8
Pro forma adjustments to the Companys consolidated net earnings and earnings per share are disclosed during the years in which the options become vested. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statements No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based compensation:

PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS 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 September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the financial statements and notes thereto included in Plumas Bancorps Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002. 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 MANAGEMENTS 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.

OVERVIEW
The Companys net income increased $58,000, or 2.6%, to $2,298,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from $2,240,000 for the same period in 2002. The primary contributors to the increase in net income for the first nine months of 2003 were a $734 thousand increase in net interest income, a $100 thousand decrease in provision for loan losses and a $334 thousand increase in non-interest income, partially offset by a $1,054 thousand increase in non-interest expenses and a $56 thousand increase in income tax expense.
Total assets at September 30, 2003 were $343.1 million, an increase of $17.7 million, or 5.4%, from the $325.5 million at December 31, 2002. Growth in assets was primarily directed to the Companys loan and investment portfolios. The loan portfolio grew $7.4 million, or 3.6%, to $212.0 million while the investment portfolio grew $6.2 million, or 10.1%, to $67.7 million during this same period. The growth in assets was funded by growth in the Companys deposits. Deposits grew $15.5 million, or 5.3%, to $309.4 million at September 30, 2003 from the $293.9 million at December 31, 2002.
10
The return on average assets was 0.94% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to 1.05% for the same period in 2002. The return on average equity was 12.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to 13.9% for the same period in 2002. Although the Companys earnings increased during the first nine months of 2003 when compared to the same period in 2002, the Companys rapid growth during this same time-frame resulted in declines in the return on average asset and equity ratios. Total average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 increased $41.0 million, or 14%, from the same period in 2002. Total average equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 increased $3.1 million, or 14%, from the same period in 2002.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
Net interest income before provision for loan losses. Net interest income, on a nontax-equivalent basis, was $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $734,000, or 7%, from $10.7 million for the same period in 2002. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributed to declines in rates paid on the Companys deposits combined with volume increases in the Companys average loan and investment balances that were mostly offset by declines in the yield on the Companys interest-earning assets.
Interest income remained relatively unchanged at $13.8 million for both nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. Interest income was static as a result of volume increases in both the loan and investment portfolios being offset by falling yields in both the loan and investment portfolios. The Companys average loan balances were $214 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, up $19 million, or 10%, from the $195 million for the same period in 2002. Significantly offsetting the benefits of the increased loan volume was the impact of falling weighted-average interest rates in the Companys loan portfolio. The Companys average loan yield was 7.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, down 59 basis points, or 7%, from the 8.25% for the same period in 2002.
Interest expense decreased $715,000, or 24%, to $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, down from $3.0 million for the same period in 2002. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributed to rate decreases on time deposits partially offset by interest expense on the Companys trust preferred securities issued in September of 2002. The Companys average rate paid on time deposits was 2.28% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, down 95 basis points, or 29%, from the 3.23% paid for the same period in 2002.
The net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 decreased 32 basis points, or 6%, to 5.33%, down from 5.65% for the same period in 2002. Similar to most of the banking industry, the Companys net interest margin continues to be challenged by the impact of the numerous decreases to the Federal funds rate which have occurred over the past three years. The most recent Federal funds rate cut occurred in June 2003 and amounted to 25 basis points. This latest rate cut resulted in the Federal funds target rate hitting the historic low rate of 1%. Maintaining the spread between loan yields and the effective rates paid on deposits has become increasingly difficult as deposit rates may be near the bottom of consumer tolerance and customers may seek higher yielding alternatives outside of the Bank.

Provision for loan losses. The Company recorded $625,000 in provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, down $100,000, or 14%, from the $725,000 provision for the same period in 2002. 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. The Companys loan portfolio composition and non-performing assets are further discussed under the financial condition section below.
Non-interest income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, total non-interest income increased $334,000, or 15%, to $2.6 million, up from $2.2 million for the comparable period in 2002. The increase in non-interest income is primarily due to increases in the number of fee generating accounts, gains on the sale of investment securities, income from mortgage loan activity and gains on the sale of mortgage loans.
Non-interest expenses. Non-interest expenses consist of salaries and related employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, professional fees, business development expenses, telephone expense, stationery and supplies expense, armored car and courier expense, advertising and promotion expense, loan expenses, directors fees, and other operating expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, non-interest expense increased $1.1 million, or 12%, to $9.6 million, up from $8.6 million for the comparable period in 2002.
13
Salaries and employee benefits increased $789,000, or 17%, over the same nine-month period last year. This increase was due primarily to the continued expansion of the Companys centralized lending function, staffing additions to manage the overall growth and expansion of the Company and increased employee benefit costs related to health-care and life insurance.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased $396,000, or 30%, over the same nine-month period last year. This increase was due primarily to additional depreciation and operating costs associated with new network security and monitoring systems, upgrades to the networks operating system, enhancements to the item processing system, installation of a new automated teller platform system, the Companys new centralized lending facility, remodeling costs associated with the Companys administrative building and leasing cost on the Tahoe City branch that is scheduled to be opened in later part of 2003.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003
Interest income decreased $203,000 or 4%, to $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, down from $4.7 million for the same period in 2002. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributed to falling yields on loan and investment balances that were largely offset by volume increases in loans and investment balances. The Companys average loan yield was 7.39% for the three months ended September 30, 2003, down 72 basis points, or 9%, from the 8.11% for the same period in 2002. Significantly offsetting the negative impact of the declining loan yields was the increased loan volume. The Companys average loan balances were $217 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, up $14 million, or 7%, from the $203 million for the same period in 2002.
Interest expense decreased $315,000, or 32%, to $670,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003, down from $985,000 for the same period in 2002. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributed to rate decreases for time and money market deposits partially offset by interest expense on the Companys trust preferred securities issued in September of 2002. The Companys average rate paid on
14
time deposits was 2.07% for the three months ended September 30, 2003, down 90 basis points, or 30%, from the 2.96% paid for the same period in 2002.
The net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2003 decreased 38 basis points, or 7%, to 5.19%, down from 5.57% for the same period in 2002.

Provision for loan losses. The Company recorded $175,000 in provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2003, down $25,000, or 13%, from the $200,000 provision for the same period in 2002. 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. The Companys loan portfolio composition and non-performing assets are further discussed under the financial condition section below.
Non-interest income. During the three months ended September 30, 2003, total non-interest income increased $119,000, or 15%, to $893,000, up from $774,000 for the comparable period in 2002. The increase in non-interest income is primarily due to gains on the sale of investment securities, income from mortgage loan activity and loan servicing income.
Non-interest expenses. Non-interest expenses consist of salaries and related employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, professional fees, business development expenses, telephone expense, stationery and supplies expense, armored car and courier expense, advertising and promotion expense, loan expenses, directors fees, and other operating expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, non-interest expense increased $308,000, or 10%, to $3.3 million, up from $3.0 million for the comparable period in 2002.
17
Salaries and employee benefits increased $333,000, or 21%, over the same three-month period last year. This increase was due primarily to the expansion of the Companys centralized lending function, staffing additions to manage the overall growth and expansion of the Company and increased employee benefit costs related to health-care and life insurance.
Occupancy and equipment increased $112,000, or 23%, over the same three-month period last year. This increase was due primarily to additional depreciation and operating costs associated with new network security and monitoring systems, upgrades to the networks operating system, enhancements to the item processing system, the Companys new centralized lending facility, remodeling costs associated with the administrative building and leasing cost on the soon-to-be opened branch in Tahoe City.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Loan portfolio composition. The Company continues to manage the mix of its loan portfolio consistent with its identity as a community bank serving the financing needs of all sectors of the area it serves. Although the Company offers a broad array of financing options, it continues to concentrate its focus on small to medium sized commercial businesses. These commercial loans 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 September 30, 2003, agricultural loans grew to 13.5% of the loan portfolio versus 12.3% at December 31, 2002. Real estate loans increased to 41.6% of the loan portfolio versus 39.1% at December 31, 2002. Commercial loans decreased to 23.1% of the portfolio as of September 30, 2003 as compared to 25.3% at December 31, 2002. Consumer loans also decreased to 21.8% of the loan portfolio at September 30, 2003 compared to 23.3% at December 31, 2002.
Nonperforming assets. Nonperforming loans increased $996,000, or 56%, to $2,782,000 as of September 30, 2003 as compared to $1,786,000 as of December 31, 2002.
In September 2003, the Bank purchased a $756,000 first-lien position agricultural real estate loan from another institution. This loan was purchased to improve the Banks collateral position on a $442,000 nonperforming second-lien agricultural real estate loan to the same borrower. With this purchase total nonperforming loans at September 30, 2003 to this agricultural borrower amounted to $1,198,000, or 43%

of total nonperforming loans outstanding. Management believes that this nonperforming agricultural loan balance will be satisfactory resolved without loss to the Company.
As a result of the increase in the non-performing loan balance, nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans increased to 1.29% as of September 30, 2003 up from the 0.86% as of December 31, 2002. Nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets were 0.90% as of September 30, 2003 up from 0.59% at December 31, 2002.
Analysis of allowance for loan losses. Net charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 totaled $454,000, or 0.21% of total loans, compared to $390,000, or 0.19% of total loans, for the comparable period in 2002. Net charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were comprised of $598,000 of less $144,000 recoveries, compared to $451,000 of charge-offs less $61,000 for the comparable period in 2002. The allowance for loan losses stood at 1.23% of total loans as of September 30, 2003, versus 1.19% of total loans as of December 31, 2002. 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 increased $9.5 million, or 12%, to $86.2 million as of September 30, 2003, up from $76.7 million at December 31, 2002.
The Companys investment in U.S. Treasury securities and direct obligations of U.S. agencies decreased to 78.5% of the investment portfolio at September 30, 2003, versus 87.3% at December 31, 2002. The Companys investment in corporate bonds rose to 15.9% of the investment portfolio at September 30, 2003, versus 7.3% at December 31, 2002. The remainder of the Companys investment portfolio consists of municipal obligations.
Accrued interest receivable and other assets. Accrued interest receivable and other assets increased $2.4 million, or 24%, to $12.3 million as of September 30, 2003, up from $9.9 million at December 31, 2002. Included in this balance at September 30, 2003, was $6.4 million of Bank-owned life insurance policies on executive officers and directors, $2.1 million of accrued interest receivable, $1.3 of deferred tax benefits and $2.5 million of prepaid balances and other assets.
Of the $2.4 million increase in accrued interest receivable and other assets, $1.7 million related to the purchase of additional Bank-owned life insurance policies in conjunction with deferred compensation agreements with an executive officer and director.
Deposits. Total deposits were $309.4 million as of September 30, 2003, an increase of $15 million, or 5%, from the December 31, 2002 balance of $293.9 million. The Company continues to manage the mix of its deposits consistent with its identity as a community bank serving the financial needs of its customers. Non-interest bearing demand deposits and interest checking deposits increased to 38.3% of total deposits as of September 30, 2003, up from 36.7% of total deposits as of December 31, 2002. Money market and savings deposits increased slightly to 35.4% of total deposits as of September 30, 2003 compared to 35.1% as of December 31, 2002. Time deposits decreased to 26.3% of total deposits as of June 30, 2003, versus 28.2% as of December 31, 2002.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Shareholders equity as of September 30, 2003 increased $1.9 million, or 8%, to $25.2 million from $23.3 million as of December 31, 2002. This increase was primarily due to the retention of current period earnings partially offset by a $387 thousand semi-annual cash dividend payment in the second quarter of 2003 and a $178 thousand decrease in accumulated comprehensive income.
The Bank is subject to certain regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Failure to meet these minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Banks financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Banks assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Banks capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Each of these components is defined in the regulations. Management believes that the Bank met all its capital adequacy requirements as of September 30, 2003.

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 Companys liquidity needs are managed using assets or liabilities, or both. On the asset side, in addition to Federal Funds sold, the Company maintains an investment portfolio containing U.S. government securities and agency securities that are classified as available-for-sale. On the liability side, liquidity needs are managed by charging competitive offering rates on deposit products and the use of established lines of credit from correspondent financial institutions and the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Customer deposits are the Companys primary source of funds. Those funds are held in various types of accounts with varying maturities. The Company does not accept brokered deposits. During the first nine months of 2003, deposits increased $15.5 million, or 5%, from the December 31, 2002 balance of $293.9 million. Deposit growth during the first nine months of 2003 was used to fund growth in the loan and investment securities portfolios. The Company has historically experienced a seasonal trend in regards to deposits; whereas the majority of the Companys annual deposit growth occurs in the summer and fall months.
The Companys available-for-sale securities portfolio, Federal funds sold, and cash and due from banks serve as the primary sources of liquidity, providing adequate funding for loans during periods of high loan demand. During periods of decreased lending, 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 Companys available sources of funds, including short-term borrowings, will provide adequate liquidity for its operations in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices such as interest rates, commodity prices and equity prices. As a financial institution, the Companys market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk exposure. Fluctuation in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Companys assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, other than those which possess a short term to maturity. Since virtually all of the Companys interest earning assets and all of the Companys interest bearing liabilities are located at the Bank level, virtually all of the Companys interest rate risk exposure lies at the Bank level. As a result, all significant interest rate risk management procedures are performed at the Bank level. Based upon the nature of its operations, the Bank is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. The Banks real estate loan portfolio, concentrated primarily within northeastern California, is subject to risks associated with the local economies.
The fundamental objective of the Banks management of its assets and liabilities is to maximize the economic value of the Company while maintaining adequate liquidity and an exposure to interest rate risk deemed by management to be acceptable. Management believes an acceptable degree of exposure to interest rate risk results from the management of assets and liabilities through maturities, pricing and mix to attempt to neutralize the potential impact of changes in market interest rates. The Banks profitability is dependent to a large extent upon its net interest income which is the difference between its interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and its interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Bank, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-earning assets reprice differently than its interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank manages its mix of assets and liabilities with the goals of limiting its exposure to interest rate risk, ensuring adequate liquidity, and coordinating its sources and uses of funds.
The Bank seeks to control its interest rate risk exposure in a manner that will allow for adequate levels of earnings and capital over a range of possible interest rate environments. The Bank has adopted formal policies and practices to monitor and manage interest rate risk exposure. As part of this effort, the Bank measures interest rate risk utilizing both an internal asset liability management system as well as employing independent third party reviews to confirm the reasonableness of the assumptions used to measure and report the Banks interest rate risk, enabling management to make any adjustments necessary.
Interest rate risk is managed by the Banks Asset Liability Committee (ALCO), which includes members of senior management. The ALCO monitors interest rate risk by analyzing the potential impact on the net interest income from potential changes in interest rates and considers the impact of alternative strategies or changes in balance sheet structure. The ALCO manages the Banks balance sheet in part to maintain the potential impact on net interest income within acceptable ranges despite changes in interest rates. The Banks exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on at least a quarterly basis by ALCO.
In managements opinion there has not been a material change in the Companys market risk profile for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to December 31, 2002 as discussed in the Companys 2002 annual report and form 10-KSB.
