NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. GENERAL

During 2002, Plumas Bancorp (the “Company”) was incorporated as a bank holding company for the purpose of acquiring Plumas Bank (the “Bank”) in a one bank holding company reorganization. This corporate structure gives the Company and the Bank greater flexibility in terms of operation expansion and diversification. The Company formed Plumas Statutory Trust I (“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.

The Bank operates eleven branches in California, including branches in Alturas, Chester, Fall River Mills, Greenville, Kings Beach, Portola, Quincy, Redding, Susanville, Tahoe City, and Truckee. The Bank’s administrative headquarters is in Quincy, California. In addition, the Bank operates a loan administrative office in Reno, Nevada and a lending office specializing in government-guaranteed lending in Auburn, California. 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.

On July 21, 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), which, in part, permanently raised the current standard maximum deposit insurance amount to $250,000. In addition, amendments to the Dodd-Frank Act extended unlimited FDIC insurance coverage for noninterest-bearing transaction deposit accounts for an additional two years. This unlimited insurance coverage for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts expired on December 31, 2012.

2. REGULATORY MATTERS

On February 15, 2012, the Bank received notice from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the California Department of Financial Institutions (“DFI”) that the Consent Order with the FDIC and the DFI which was effective on March 16, 2011 had been terminated. While the Bank is no longer subject to an Order, the Bank entered into an informal agreement with the FDIC and DFI which, among other things, requests that the Bank continue to maintain a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of 9% which is in excess of that required for well capitalized institutions and continue to reduce its level of classified asset balances that were outstanding as of September 30, 2011 to not more than 50% of Tier 1 Capital plus the allowance for loan losses. At December 31, 2012 this ratio was 32% and the Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio was 10.4%. The FDIC and DFI terminated the informal agreement effective January 24, 2013.

On July 28, 2011 the Company entered into an agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “FRB Agreement”). Under the terms of the FRB Agreement, Plumas Bancorp has agreed to take certain actions that are designed to maintain its financial soundness so that it may continue to serve as a source of strength to the Bank. Among other things, the FRB Agreement requires prior written approval related to the payment or taking of dividends and distributions, making any distributions of interest, principal or other sums on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities, incurrence of debt, and the purchase or redemption of stock. In March 2013 the FRB allowed Plumas Bancorp to pay all past due and current interest on its trust preferred securities. As of March 31, 2013 the amount of the arrearage on the dividend payments of the Series A Preferred Stock is $1.8 million representing twelve quarterly payments.

On April 19, 2013 the Company received notice that the FRB Agreement had been terminated.

3. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Plumas Bank. Plumas Statutory Trust I and Plumas Statutory Trust II are not consolidated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, are accounted for under the equity method. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. Our condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 is derived from audited financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period’s balances to conform to classifications used in 2013.

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 2012 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 may not necessarily be indicative of future operating results. In preparing such financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the periods reported. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Management has determined that because all of the commercial banking products and services offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Bank, all branches are located within the same economic environment and management does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities, it is appropriate to aggregate the Bank branches and report them as a single operating segment. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of the revenues of the Company or the Bank.

4. INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consisted of the following:

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company sold three available-for-sale securities for total proceeds of $4,471,000, which resulted in the recognition of a $51,000 gross gain on sale. No securities were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2013.


	December 31, 2012
			Gross		Gross			Estimated
	Amortized		Unrealized		Unrealized			Fair
	Cost		Gains		Losses			Value
Debt securities:
U.S. Government-sponsored agencies	$	38,291,000	$	154,000	$	(3,000	)	$	38,442,000
U.S. Government-sponsored agencies collateralized by mortgage obligations - residential		42,112,000		434,000		(24,000	)		42,522,000

	$	80,403,000	$	588,000	$	(27,000	)	$	80,964,000

Net unrealized gains on available-for-sale investment securities totaling $561,000 were recorded, net of $232,000 in tax expense, as accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company sold twenty-five available-for-sale investment securities for $20,773,000, recording a $403,000 gain on sale. No securities were sold at a loss.

Investment securities with unrealized losses at March 31, 2013 are summarized and classified according to the duration of the loss period as follows:


	Less than 12 Months
	Fair		Unrealized
	Value		Losses
Debt securities:
U.S. Government-sponsored agencies	$	998,000	$	1,000
U.S. Government-sponsored agencies collateralized by mortgage obligations		19,726,000		110,000

	$	20,724,000	$	111,000

Investment securities with unrealized losses at December 31, 2012 are summarized and classified according to the duration of the loss period as follows:


	Less than 12 Months
	Fair		Unrealized
	Value		Losses
Debt securities:
U.S. Government-sponsored agencies	$	2,004,000	$	3,000
U.S. Government-sponsored agencies collateralized by mortgage obligations		7,002,000		24,000

	$	9,006,000	$	27,000

There were no securities in a loss position for more than one year as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

At March 31, 2013, the Company held 57 securities of which 16 were in a loss position. Of the securities in a loss position, all were in a loss position for less than twelve months. Of the 16 securities, 1 is a U.S. Government-sponsored agencies and 15 are U.S. Government-sponsored agencies collateralized by mortgage obligations. The unrealized losses primarily relate to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. All of the securities continue to pay as scheduled. When analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than cost; the historical and implied volatility of the security; the financial condition of the issuer of the security; and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the security to recovery. As of March 31, 2013, management does not have the intent to sell these securities nor does it believe it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. Based on the Company’s evaluation of the above and other relevant factors, the Company does not believe the securities that are in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2013 are other than temporarily impaired.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities at March 31, 2013 by contractual maturity are shown below. 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.


	Estimated		Estimated
	Amortized		Fair
	Cost		Value
Within one year		1,000,000		1,005,000
After one year through five years		32,254,000		32,376,000
Investment securities not due at a single maturity date:
Government-guaranteed mortgage- backed securities		46,918,000		47,065,000

	$	80,172,000	$	80,446,000

Investment securities with amortized costs totaling $47,300,000 and $44,305,000 and estimated fair values totaling $47,542,000 and $44,535,000 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, were pledged to secure deposits and repurchase agreements.

Included in impaired loans are troubled debt restructurings. A troubled debt restructuring is a formal restructure of a loan where the Company for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower. The concessions may be granted in various forms, one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

The carrying value of troubled debt restructurings at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $12,149,000 and $12,296,000, respectively. The Company has allocated $985,000 and $348,000 of specific reserves on loans to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Company was not committed to lend additional amounts on loans classified as troubled debt restructurings at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings. Modifications involving a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan was for periods ranging from 1 month to 10 years. For the periods described above, modifications involving an extension of the maturity date were for periods ranging from 1 month to 10 years.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the three months ending March 31, 2013:

Total		11	$	3,640,000	$	3,615,000

The troubled debt restructurings described above decreased the allowance for loan losses by $118,000 during the twelve months ending December 31, 2012. The troubled debt restructurings described above did not result in charge offs during the twelve months ending December 31, 2012.


	Number of		Recorded
	Loans		Investment
Troubled Debt Restructurings:
Real estate – construction		1	$	2,978,000

Total		1	$	2,978,000

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the three months ending March 31, 2013 and year ending December 31, 2012 that did not meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring. These loans have a total recorded investment as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of $874 thousand and $9 million, respectively.

These loans which were modified during the three month ended March 31, 2013 and year ended December 31, 2012 did not meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring as the modification was a delay in a payment ranging from 30 days to 3 months that was considered to be insignificant or the borrower was not considered to be experiencing financial difficulties.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, nonaccrual loans totaled $12,974,000 and $13,683,000, respectively. Interest foregone on nonaccrual loans totaled $180,000 and $200,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Loans past due 90 days or more and on accrual status totaled $1,258,000 and $15,000 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Salaries and employee benefits totaling $294,000 and $195,000 have been deferred as loan origination costs during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company assigns a risk rating to all loans and periodically, but not less than annually, performs detailed reviews of all such 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 five major categories, defined as follows:

Pass – A pass loan is a strong credit with no existing or known potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention.

Watch – A Watch loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Watch loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

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.

Loss – Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and charged off immediately.

6. 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 $83,298,000 and $76,030,000 and stand-by letters of credit of $70,000 and $110,000 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Of the loan commitments outstanding at March 31, 2013, $7,824,000 are real estate construction loan commitments that are expected to fund within the next twelve months. The remaining commitments primarily relate to revolving lines of credit or other commercial loans, and many of these are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each loan commitment and the amount and type of collateral obtained, if any, are evaluated on an individual basis. Collateral held varies, but may include real property, bank deposits, debt or equity securities or business assets.

Stand-by letters of credit are conditional commitments written to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily related to the purchases of inventory by commercial customers and are typically short-term in nature. Credit risk is similar to that involved in extending loan commitments to customers and accordingly, evaluation and collateral requirements similar to those for loan commitments are used. The deferred liability related to the Company’s stand-by letters of credit was not significant at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

7. 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.


	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands, except per share data)	2013			2012
Net Income:
Net income	$	616		$	224
Dividends and discount accretion on preferred shares		(171	)		(171	)

Net income available to common shareholders	$	445		$	53

Earnings Per Share:

Diluted earnings per share	$	0.09		$	0.01
Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding:
Basic shares		4,776			4,776
Diluted shares		4,831			4,776

Shares of common stock issuable under stock options and warrants for which the exercise prices were greater than the average market prices were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their antidilutive effect. Stock options and warrants not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, due to shares not being in the-money and having an antidilutive effect, were approximately 439,000 and 718,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In 2001, the Company established a Stock Option Plan for which 410,293 shares of common stock remain reserved for issuance to employees and directors and no shares are available for future grants as of March 31, 2013. The Plan requires that the option price may not be less than the fair market value of the stock at the date the option is granted, and that the stock must be paid in full at the time the option is exercised. Payment in full for the option price must be made in cash or with Company common stock previously acquired by the optionee and held by the optionee for a period of at least six months. The Plan does not provide for the settlement of awards in cash and new shares are issued upon option exercise. The options expire on dates determined by the Board of Directors, but not later than ten years from the date of grant. Upon grant, options vest ratably over a three to five year period.

The Company determines the fair value of the options previously granted on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model that uses assumptions based on expected option life, expected stock volatility and the risk-free interest rate. The expected volatility assumptions used by the Company are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected life of the Company’s stock options. The Company bases its expected life assumption on its historical experience and on the terms and conditions of the stock options it grants to employees. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the periods within the contractual life of the options in effect at the time of the grant. The Company also makes assumptions regarding estimated forfeitures that will impact the total compensation expenses recognized under the Plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recognized compensation costs of $9,000 and no increase in future income tax benefit. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recognized compensation cost of $66,000 and an increase in future income tax benefit of $1,000.

The following table summarizes information about stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2013:


	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)		Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Options outstanding at December 31, 2012		419,806		$	8.67
Options granted		—			—
Options exercised		—			—
Options cancelled		(9,513	)	$	9.70

Options outstanding at March 31, 2013		410,293		$	8.65		4.0	$	479

Options exercisable at March 31, 2013		305,700		$	10.60		3.4	$	240

Expected to vest after March 31, 2013		87,939		$	2.95		6.0	$	201

At March 31, 2013, there was $78,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. The total fair value of options vested during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $52,000.

9. INCOME TAXES

The Company files its income taxes on a consolidated basis with its subsidiary. The allocation of income tax expense (benefit) represents each entity’s proportionate share of the consolidated provision for income taxes.

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 measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The determination of the amount of deferred income tax assets which are more likely than not to be realized is primarily dependent on projections of future earnings, which are subject to uncertainty and estimates that may change given economic conditions and other factors. The realization of deferred income tax assets is assessed and a valuation allowance is recorded if it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. “More likely than not” is defined as greater than a 50% chance. All available evidence, both positive and negative is considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed.

At March 31, 2013 total deferred tax assets were approximately $6.5 million and total deferred tax liabilities were approximately $1.4 million for a net deferred tax asset of $5.1 million. The Company’s deferred tax assets primarily relate to net operating loss carry-forwards and timing differences in the tax deductibility of the provision for loan losses, impairment charges on other real estate owned and deferred compensation. Based upon our analysis of available evidence, management of the Company determined that it is “more likely than not” that all of our deferred income tax assets as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 will be fully realized and therefore no valuation allowance was recorded. 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 statement of income. There have been no significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

10. 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 March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:


			Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2013 Using:

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 methods and assumptions were used by management to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

Investment securities: Fair values for securities available for sale are generally determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2).

Loans: Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as follows: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

FHLB stock: It was not practicable to determine the fair value of the FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits, including interest and non-interest demand accounts, savings, and certain types of money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the carrying amount at the reporting date resulting in a Level 1 classification. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Repurchase agreements: The fair value of securities sold under repurchase agreements is estimated based on bid quotations received from brokers using observable inputs and are included as Level 2.

Junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures: The fair values of the Company’s Subordinated Debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

Accrued interest and payable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value and are considered to be linked in classification to the asset or liability for which they relate.

Commitments to extend credit and letters of credit: The fair value of commitments are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements and are not significant and, therefore, not presented. Commitments to extend credit are primarily for variable rate loans and letters of credit.

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.

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 March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and indicates 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 March 31, 2013 are summarized below:

	$	80,964,000	$	—	$	80,964,000	$	—

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. There were no changes in the valuation techniques used during 2013 or 2012. 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 March 31, 2013 are summarized below:

The Company has no liabilities which are reported at fair value.

The following methods were used to estimate fair value.

Impaired Loans: The fair value of collateral dependent impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses or loans that have been subject to partial charge-offs are generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Total losses of $663,000 and $468,000 represent impairment charges recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the above impaired loans.

Other Real Estate: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may use a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and 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.

In certain cases we use discounted cash flow or similar internal modeling techniques to determine the fair value of our Level 3 assets and liabilities. Use of these techniques requires determination of relevant inputs and assumptions, some of which represent significant unobservable inputs. Accordingly, changes in these unobservable inputs may have a significant impact on fair value.

Certain of these unobservable inputs will (in isolation) have a directionally consistent impact on the fair value of the instrument for a given change in that input. Alternatively, the fair value of the instrument may move in an opposite direction for a given change in another input. Where multiple inputs are used within the valuation technique of an asset or liability, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change in another input having a potentially muted impact to the overall fair value of that particular instrument. Additionally, a change in one unobservable input may result in a change to another unobservable input (that is, changes in certain inputs are interrelated to one another), which may counteract or magnify the fair value impact.

The following table presents quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements for financial instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

11. Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update to finalize the reporting requirements for reclassifications of amounts out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). Items reclassified out of AOCI to net income in their entirety must have the effect of the reclassification disclosed according to the respective income statement line item. This information must be provided either on the face of the financial statements by income statement line item, or in a footnote. For public companies, the amendments in the update became effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012. As of March 31, 2013, the impact of this update on the Company’s disclosures was minimal as the only changes to AOCI were changes in market values related to available for sale securities.

12. Subsequent Events

On January 30, 2009 the Bancorp entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), pursuant to which the Bancorp issued and sold (i) 11,949 shares of the Bancorp’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 237,712 shares of the Bancorp’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $11,949,000 in cash.

On April 11, 2013, the Treasury announced its intent to sell its investment in the Bancorp’s Series A Preferred Stock along with similar investments the Treasury had made in 7 other financial institutions, principally to qualified institutional buyers. Using a modified Dutch auction methodology that establishes a market price by allowing investors to submit bids at specified increments during the period of April 15, 2013 through April 18, 2013, the U.S. Treasury auctioned all of the Bancorp’s 11,949 Series A Preferred Stock. The Bancorp sought and obtained regulatory permission to participate in the auction. The Bancorp successfully bid to repurchase 7,000 shares of the 11,949 outstanding shares. This repurchase resulted in a discount of approximately 7% on the face value of the Series A Preferred Stock plus related outstanding dividends. The remaining 4,949 shares are held by private investors.

Funds for the repurchase of the Series A Preferred Stock were provided through a combination of a dividend from the Bancorp’s subsidiary, Plumas Bank, and $7.5 million from the proceeds of a new issuance of subordinated debentures (“subordinated debt”). The subordinated debt was issued on April 15, 2013 to an unrelated third-party pursuant to a subordinated debenture purchase agreement, subordinated debenture note, and stock purchase warrant with Community BanCapital, L.P. (“CBC”). The subordinated debt agreement provides that in the event of default with respect to the subordinated debt, the Bancorp will be subject to certain restrictions on the payment of dividends and distributions to shareholders, repurchase or redemption of the Bancorp’s securities and payment on certain debts or guarantees. The subordinated debenture agreement also provides that in the event of default, CBC will have the right to appoint a director to the Bancorp’s board of directors and/or the Plumas Bank board in certain limited circumstances.

The subordinated debt bears an interest rate of 7.5% per annum, has a term of 8 years with no prepayment allowed during the first two years and was made in conjunction with an eight-year warrant to purchase up to 300,000 shares of the Bancorp’s common stock, no par value at an exercise price, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, of $5.25 per share.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, (1) significant increases in competitive pressures in the financial services industry; (2) changes in the interest rate environment resulting in reduced margins; (3) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, maybe less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality; (4) changes in regulatory environment; (5) loss of key personnel; (6) fluctuations in the real estate market; (7) changes in business conditions and inflation; (8) operational risks including data processing systems failures or fraud; and (9) changes in securities markets. Therefore, the information set forth herein should be carefully considered when evaluating the business prospects of Plumas Bancorp (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 March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. 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, 2012.

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 2012 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW

Earnings increased by $392 thousand from $224 thousand during the first quarter of 2012 to $616 thousand during the current quarter. Earnings benefited from both growth in revenue and a decline in non-interest expense. Net interest income increased by $221 thousand and non-interest income grew by $273 thousand. Non-interest expense declined by $210 thousand. Partially offsetting these positive variances were an increase in provision for loan losses of $100 thousand and an increase in income tax expense of $212 thousand.

Net income allocable to common shareholders increased from $53 thousand during the first quarter of 2012 to $445 thousand during the current quarter. Earnings per share increased to $0.09 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $0.01 during the first quarter of 2012. Income allocable to common shareholders is calculated by subtracting preferred stock dividends and accretion of the discount on preferred stock from net income.

Total assets at March 31, 2013 were $478 million, an increase of $179 thousand from December 31, 2012. This increase included an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $3.1 million partially offset by declines in investment securities, loans and other assets. Net loan balances declined by $1.9 million from $310.3 million at December 31, 2012 to $308.4 million at March 31, 2013 and investment securities declined slightly from $81.0 million at December 31, 2012 to $80.4 million at March 31, 2013.

Deposits totaled $412.2 million at March 31, 2013, an increase of $670 thousand from December 31, 2012. Interest bearing transaction accounts (NOW) accounts increased by $3.1 million, while savings and money market accounts increased by $10.9 million. Non-interest bearing demand deposits decreased by $10.2 million and time deposits declined by $3.1 million. Shareholders’ equity increased by $0.4 million from $41.9 million at December 31, 2012 to $42.3 million at March 31, 2013.

The annualized return on average assets was 0.53% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 up from 0.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The annualized return on average common equity increased from 0.8% during the first quarter of 2012 to 5.9% during the current quarter.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2013

Net interest income before provision for loan losses. Net interest income, on a nontax-equivalent basis, was $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $221 thousand, or 5%, from $4.1 million for the same period in 2012. The increase in net interest income includes both an increase in interest income and a decline in interest expense. Interest income, benefiting from an increase in the average balance of both loans and investments, increased by $148 thousand. Interest expense decreased by $73 thousand mostly related to a decline in rate paid and average balance in time deposits. Net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased 6 basis points, or 1%, to 4.15%, up from 4.09% for the same period in 2012.

Interest income increased by $148 thousand, or 3%, to $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, up from $4.4 million during the same period in 2012. Interest and fees on loans increased $88 thousand to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $4.2 million during the first quarter of 2012. The Company’s average loan balances were $312 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, up $17.6 million, or 6%, from $294 million for the same period in 2012. The Company is focused on growing loan balances through a balanced and diversified approach. The increase in loan balances during the twelve month period ended March 31, 2013 includes growth in the Company’s automobile, SBA and commercial real estate loan portfolios. The average rate earned on the Company’s loan balances decreased 17 basis points to 5.61% during the first three months of 2013 compared to 5.78% during the first three months of 2012. The decrease in loan yield reflects increased rate competition in the Company’s service area. Interest income on investment securities increased by $71 thousand as average balances increased by $23.9 million, from $56.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $80.4 million during the current quarter. Yield on investment securities declined by 3 basis points from 1.32% during the first quarter of 2012 to 1.29% during the current quarter. Related to a decline in interest earning cash balances, other interest income declined by $11 thousand to $22 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Interest expense on deposits decreased by $85 thousand, or 35%, to $155 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013, down from $240 thousand during the 2012 quarter. This decrease primarily relates to decreases in the average balance and rate paid on time deposits.

Interest on time deposits declined by $74 thousand. Average time deposits declined by $10.5 million from $79.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $68.9 million during the current quarter. We attribute much of the reduction in time to the unusually low interest rate environment as we have seen a movement out of time into more liquid deposit types. The average rate paid on time deposits decreased from 0.77% during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 0.46% during the current quarter. This decrease primarily relates to a decline in market rates paid in the Company’s service area and the maturity of higher rate deposits.

Interest expense on NOW accounts declined by $9 thousand. Rates paid on NOW accounts declined by 4 basis points from 0.15% during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to 0.11% during the three months ended March 31, 2013 related to a decline in market rates.

Interest expense on money market accounts decreased by $5 thousand related to a decrease in rate paid on these accounts of 6 basis points from 0.23% during the 2012 quarter to 0.17% during the current quarter. Interest expense on savings accounts increased by $3 thousand related to an increase in average balance from $66.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $74.9 million during the current quarter.

Interest expense on all other interest-bearing liabilities, which mostly consist of repurchase agreements and junior subordinated debentures, increased by $12 thousand from $98 thousand during the first quarter of 2012 to $110 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase in mostly related to an increase in the average rate paid on these liabilities.

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, 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 loan losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 we recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.7 million, up $0.1 million from the $0.6 million provision recorded during the first quarter of 2012. The $0.7 million provision recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily relates to a reserve for one land development loan relationship. See “Analysis of Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses” for further discussion of loan quality trends and the provision for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that management believes will be appropriate to absorb probable incurred losses on existing loans based on an evaluation of the collectibility of the loans and prior loan loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay their loan. The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and ultimate losses may vary from the current estimates. These estimates are reviewed not less than quarterly and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known.

Based on information currently available, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is appropriate to absorb probable incurred losses in the loan 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 March 31, 2013 non-interest income increased by $273 thousand to $1.7 million up from $1.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The largest component of this increase was $287 thousand in gains on the sale of government guaranteed loans. During the current quarter, proceeds from SBA loan sales totaled $7.7 million resulting in a gain on sale of $521 thousand. This compares to proceeds of $4.2 million and gain on sale of $234 thousand during the first quarter of 2012. Loans originated for sale were $4.6 million and $3.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The largest decrease in non-interest income was related to a decline in gain on sale of securities. The Company elected not to sell investment securities during the three months ending March 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company sold three available-for-sale securities for total proceeds of $4,471,000, which resulted in the recognition of a $51,000 gain on sale.

The following table describes the components of non-interest income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, in thousands:


	For the Three Months

Non-interest expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, total non-interest expense declined by $210 thousand, or 5%, to $4.4 million, down from $4.6 million for the comparable period in 2012. The Company experienced declines in several categories of non-interest expense the largest of which were $99 thousand in salary and benefit expense, $73 thousand in the provision from changes in valuation of OREO and $47 thousands in postage. The largest increase in non-interest expense was $91 thousand in outside service fees.

The Company continues to realize savings in salary and benefit cost including a $10 thousand decrease in salary expense, excluding commissions. Stock compensation expense decreased by $57 thousand from $66 thousand during the first quarter of 2012 to $9 thousand during the current quarter. During the first quarter of 2012 we had an adjustment to the estimated forfeiture rate resulting in an increase in stock compensation; no adjustment was required during the current quarter. The largest reduction in salary and benefits was related to an increase in deferred loan origination costs totaling $99 thousand. We attribute this increase in deferred loan origination costs to an increase in lending activity. These items were partially offset by an increase in commission expense of $80 thousand, which relates to government-guaranteed lending personnel, related to the increase in SBA loan sales.

OREO represents real property taken by the Bank either through foreclosure or through a deed in lieu thereof from the borrower. When other real estate is acquired, any excess of the Bank’s recorded investment in the loan balance and accrued interest income over the estimated fair market value of the property less costs to sell is charged against the allowance for loan losses. A valuation allowance for losses on other real estate is maintained to provide for subsequent temporary declines in value. The allowance is established through a provision for losses on other real estate which is included in other expenses. Subsequent gains or losses on sales or write-downs resulting from permanent impairment are recorded in other income or expenses as incurred. The $114 thousand in OREO provision in 2013 was mostly related to a $105 thousand decline in value on one land development property based on an appraisal received during the current quarter. The $187 thousand in OREO provision in 2012 was related to a decline in the value of three properties based on appraisals received during the first quarter of 2012.

The $47 thousand decline in postage expense is related to outsourcing the mailing and processing of statements and notices beginning in June, 2012.

The increase in outside service costs was related to the outsourcing of our statement processing operations and an increase in costs related to monitoring and maintaining our ATMs. During 2012 the Bank modernized its ATM network by purchasing new ATM machines which have the ability to accept currency and checks and provide an imaged receipt. While these ATMs provide a significant increase in functionality, they are also more expensive to operate and maintain.

Provision for income taxes. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $338 thousand, or 35.4% of pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This compares to an income tax provision of $126 thousand or 36.0% of pre-tax income during the first three months of 2012. The percentages for 2013 and 2012 differ from statutory rates as tax exempt items of income such as earnings on Bank owned life insurance and municipal loan income decrease taxable income.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loan Portfolio. 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.

The Company’s largest lending categories are commercial real estate loans, equity lines of credit, agricultural loans and residential real estate loans. These categories accounted for approximately 44.3%, 11.9%, 10.5% and 10.4%, respectively of the Company’s total loan portfolio at March 31, 2013, and approximately 44.3%, 11.7%, 11.1% and 11.0%, respectively of the Company’s total loan portfolio at December 31, 2012. Construction and land development loans increased slightly representing 5.4% and 5.0% of the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The construction and land development portfolio component has been identified by Management as a higher-risk loan category. The quality of the construction and land development category is highly dependent on property values both in terms of the likelihood of repayment once the property is transacted by the current owner as well as the level of collateral the Company has securing the loan in the event of default. Loans in this category are characterized by the speculative nature of commercial and residential development properties and can include property in various stages of development from raw land to finished lots. The decline in these loans as a percentage of the Company’s loan portfolio reflects management’s continued efforts, which began in 2009 to reduce its exposure to construction and land development loans due to the severe valuation decrease in the real estate market. At the beginning of 2009 construction and land development loans totaled $73.8 million representing 20.2% of the Company’s loan portfolio as compared to $16.8 million or 5.4% of the loan portfolio at March 31, 2013.

The Company’s real estate related loans, including real estate mortgage loans, real estate construction loans, consumer equity lines of credit, and agricultural loans secured by real estate comprised 78% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Moreover, the business activities of the Company currently are focused in the California counties of Plumas, Nevada, Placer, Lassen, Modoc, Shasta, Sierra and in Washoe County 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 residential and 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. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, approximately 73% of the Company’s loan portfolio was comprised of variable rate loans. While real estate mortgage, 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. In addition, the Company remains committed to the agricultural industry in Northeastern California and will continue to pursue high quality agricultural loans. Agricultural loans include both commercial and commercial real estate loans. The Company’s agricultural loan balances totaled $33 million at March 31, 2013 and $35 million at December 31, 2012.

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 impaired loans on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as loan conditions change. The Management Asset Resolution Committee (MARC) reviews the asset quality of criticized loans on a monthly basis and reports the findings to the full Board of Directors. The Board’s Loan Committee reviews the asset quality of new loans on a monthly basis 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.

The Company, through the creation of MARC in 2009 developed and implemented an action plan to significantly reduce nonperforming loans. It the start of 2009 non-performing loans totaled $26.7 million compared to $14.2 million as of March 31, 2013. MARC consists of members of executive management and credit administration management, and the activities are governed by a formal written charter. The MARC meets at least monthly and reports to the Board of Directors.

More specifically, a formal plan to effect repayment and/or disposition of every significant nonperforming loan relationship is developed and documented for review and on-going oversight by the MARC. Some of the strategies used include but are not limited to: 1) obtaining additional collateral, 2) obtaining additional investor cash infusion, 3) sale of the promissory note to an outside party, 4) proceeding with foreclosure on the underlying collateral, and 5) legal action against borrower/guarantors to encourage settlement of debt and/or collect any deficiency balance owed. Each step includes a benchmark timeline to track progress.

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.

The allowance for loan losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of the provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged to and recoveries are credited to the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level deemed appropriate by management to provide for probable incurred loan losses in the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based upon management’s continuing assessment of various factors affecting the collectability of loans; including current economic conditions, maturity of the portfolio, size of the portfolio, industry concentrations, borrower credit history, collateral, the existing allowance for loan losses, independent credit reviews, current charges and recoveries to the allowance for loan losses and the overall quality of the portfolio as determined by management, regulatory agencies, and independent credit review consultants retained by the Company. There is no precise method of predicting specific losses or amounts which may ultimately be charged off on particular segments of the loan portfolio. The collectability of a loan is subjective to some degree, but must relate to the borrower’s financial condition, cash flow, quality of the borrower’s management expertise, collateral and guarantees, and state of the local economy.

Formula allocations are calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans with similar characteristics. Loss factors are based on the Company’s historical loss experience as adjusted for changes in the business cycle and may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. Effective for the third quarter of 2012, the Company modified its method of estimating the allowance for loan losses for non-impaired loans. This modification incorporated historical losses from the beginning of the latest business cycle. Previously we utilized historical loss experience based on a rolling eight quarters ending with the most recently completed calendar quarter. This modification had the effect of increasing the required allowance by approximately $250,000 for 2012 related to the expanded historical loss period. The Company believes that, given the recent trend in historical losses, it was prudent to increase the period examined and that a full business cycle was the appropriate period.

The discretionary allocation is based upon management’s evaluation of various loan segment conditions that are not directly measured in the determination of the formula and specific allowances. The conditions may include, but are not limited to, general economic and business conditions affecting the key lending areas of the Company, credit quality trends, collateral values, loan volumes and concentrations, and other business conditions.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $5.8 million at March 31, 2013 and $5.7 million at December 31, 2012. Specific reserves related to impaired loans increased from $1.2 million at December 31, 2012 to $1.4 million at March 31, 2013. At least quarterly the Company evaluates each specific reserve and if it determines that the loss represented by the specific reserve is uncollectable it reverses the specific reserve and takes a partial charge-off in its place. General reserves decreased by $95 thousand to $4.4 million at March 31, 2013 as compared to $4.5 million at December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans increased slightly from 1.80% at December 31, 2012 to 1.84% at March 31, 2013. The percentage of general reserves to unimpaired loans decreased slightly from 1.52% at December 31, 2012 to 1.49% at March 31, 2013.

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.

Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The amount of impaired loans is not directly comparable to the amount of nonperforming loans disclosed later in this section. The primary difference between impaired loans and nonperforming loans is that impaired loan recognition considers not only loans 90 days or more past due, restructured loans and nonaccrual loans but also may include identified problem loans other than delinquent loans where it is considered probable that we will not collect all amounts due to us (including both principal and interest) in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

A restructuring of a debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) if the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. Restructured workout loans typically present an elevated level of credit risk as the borrowers are not able to perform according to the original contractual terms. Loans that are reported as TDRs are considered impaired and measured for impairment as described above.

Loans restructured and in compliance with modified terms totaled $10.9 million and $9.3 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. For additional information related to restructured loans see Note 5 of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10Q.

Nonperforming loans at March 31, 2013 were $14.2 million, an increase of $0.5 million from the $13.7 million balance at December 31, 2012. The increase is related to a $1.2 million loan which is over 90 days past due. This loan is still accruing as it is well secured and in the process of collection. Nonaccrual loans decreased from $13.7 million at December 31, 2012 to $13.0 million at March 31, 2013. Specific reserves on nonaccrual loans totaled $1.3 million at March 31, 2013 and $976 thousand at December 31, 2012, respectively. Performing loans past due thirty to eighty-nine days decreased by $1.5 million from $2.8 million at December 31, 2012 to $1.3 million at March 31, 2013.

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 decreased by $2.7 million from $18.6 million at December 31, 2012 to $15.9 million at March 31, 2013. Loans classified as watch increased from $6.7 million at December 31, 2012 to $7.3 million at March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, $4.4 million of performing loans were classified as substandard. Further deterioration in the credit quality of individual performing substandard loans or other adverse circumstances could result in the need to place these loans on nonperforming status.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s recorded investment in impaired loans totaled $16.9 million and $18.8 million, respectively. The specific allowance for loan losses related to impaired loans totaled $1.4 million and $1.2 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Additionally, $2.9 million has been charged off against the impaired loans at March 31, 2013 and $3.0 million at December 31 2012.

It is the policy of management to make additions to the allowance for loan losses so that it remains appropriate to absorb probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. Management believes that the allowance at March 31, 2013 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.

OREO represents real property taken 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. Repossessed assets and OREO are originally carried at fair market value, less selling costs and subsequently adjusted for impairment, if any. OREO holdings represented thirty-nine properties totaling $5.3 million at March 31, 2013 and forty properties totaling $5.3 million at December 31, 2012. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were 4.09% at March 31, 2013 and 3.98% at December 31, 2012.

The following table provides a summary of the change in the OREO balance for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013			2012
	(in thousands)
Beginning Balance	$	5,295		$	8,623
Additions		333			35
Dispositions		(221	)		(499	)
Provision from change in OREO valuation		(114	)		(187	)

Ending Balance	$	5,293		$	7,972

The provision for OREO losses relates to a decrease in value of two REO properties based on recent appraisals. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we sold five properties and added four properties to our OREO portfolio. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we sold a portion of one property and added on lot loan to our OREO portfolio.

Investment Portfolio and Federal Funds Sold. Total investment securities decreased by $0.5 million from $80.9 million as of December 31, 2012 to $80.4 million as of March 31, 2013.

The investment portfolio at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was invested entirely in U.S. Government-sponsored agencies. There were no Federal funds sold at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012; however, the Bank maintained interest earning balances at the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) totaling $31.9 million at March 31, 2013 and $24.5 million at December 31, 2012, respectively. These balances currently earn 25 basis points.

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 were $412.2 million as of March 31, 2013, up $670 thousand from the December 31, 2012 balance of $411.5 million. Non-interest bearing demand deposits decreased by $10.2 million, interest bearing transaction accounts (NOW) increased by $3.1 million, savings accounts increased by $9.0 million and money market accounts increased by $1.9 million. Time deposits declined by $3.1 million. We believe that the reduction in demand is mostly related to seasonal factors and the reduction in time to the unusually low interest rate environment as we have seen a movement out of time into more liquid deposits types.

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. The deposit mix changed slightly from December 31, 2012 as demand and time deposits accounts declined as a percentage of total deposits and we had an increase in other deposit types. Non-interest bearing demand deposits were 32% of total deposits at March 31, 2013 and 35% of total deposits at December 31, 2012. Interest bearing transaction accounts were 21% of total deposits at March 31, 2013 and 20% of total deposits at December 31, 2012. Money market and savings deposits totaled 31% of total deposits at March 31, 2013 and 28% at December 31, 2012. Time deposits were 16% of total deposits at March 31, 2013 and 17% of total deposits at December 31, 2012.

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. In order to assist in meeting any funding demands, the Company maintains a secured borrowing arrangement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. There were no brokered deposits at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

Short-term Borrowing Arrangements. The Company is a member of the FHLB and can borrow up to $99,896,000 from the FHLB secured by commercial and residential mortgage loans with carrying values totaling $190,239,000 at March 31, 2013. The Company is required to hold FHLB stock as a condition of membership. At March 31, 2013, the Company held $1,950,000 of FHLB stock which is recorded as a component of other assets. At this level of stock holdings, the Company can borrow up to $41,481,000. There were no borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2013. To borrow the $99,896,000 in available credit, the Company would need to purchase $2,746,000 in additional FHLB stock. The Company also has an unsecured $6 million Federal Funds borrowing line with one of its correspondent banks.

Repurchase Agreements. In 2011 Plumas Bank introduced a new product for their larger business customers which use repurchase agreements as an alternative to interest-bearing deposits. The balance in this product at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $7.4 million. Interest paid on this product is similar to that which is paid on the Bank’s premium money market account; however, these are not deposits and are not FDIC insured.

Capital Resources

Shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2013 totaled $42.3 million up from $41.9 million as of December 31, 2012.

On January 30, 2009, under the Capital Purchase Program, the Company sold (i) 11,949 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Preferred Shares”) and (ii) a ten-year warrant to purchase up to 237,712 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value at an exercise price, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, of $7.54 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $11,949,000 in cash. Ten million of the twelve million in proceeds from the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock was injected into Plumas Bank providing addition capital for the bank to support growth in loans and investment securities and strengthen its capital ratios. The remainder provided funds for holding company activities and general corporate purposes.

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). The Board will periodically, but on no regular schedule, reviews the appropriateness of a cash dividend payment. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies. No common cash dividends were paid during the last four years and none are anticipated to be paid in 2013. The Company is subject to various restrictions on the payment of dividends.

Beginning during the second quarter of 2010, at the request of the FRB, Plumas Bancorp deferred its regularly scheduled quarterly interest payments on its outstanding junior subordinated debentures relating to its two trust preferred securities and suspended quarterly cash dividend payments on its Series A Preferred Stock. However, in March 2013 the FRB allowed Plumas Bancorp to pay all past due and current interest on its trust preferred securities. As of March 31, 2013 the amount of the arrearage on the dividend payments of the Series A Preferred Stock is $1.8 million representing twelve quarterly payments. During April, Plumas Bancorp repurchased at auction 7,000 of 11,949 outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; see Note 12 of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of the date of filing this report, the amount of the arrearage on the dividend payments of the remaining 4,949 shares of Series A Preferred Stock is $0.7 million representing twelve quarterly payments.

Capital Standards. The Company uses a variety of measures to evaluate its capital adequacy, with risk-based capital ratios calculated separately for the Company and the Bank. 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. There are two categories of capital under the guidelines: Tier 1 capital includes common shareholders’ equity, and qualifying trust-preferred securities (including notes payable to unconsolidated special purpose entities that issue trust-preferred securities), less goodwill and certain other deductions, notably the unrealized net gains or losses (after tax adjustments) on available-for-sale investment securities carried at fair market value; Tier 2 capital can include qualifying subordinated debt and the allowance for loan losses, subject to certain limitations. The Series A Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital for the Company.

As noted previously, the Company’s junior subordinated debentures represent borrowings from its unconsolidated subsidiaries that have issued an aggregate $10 million in trust-preferred securities. These trust-preferred securities currently qualify for inclusion as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes as they do not exceed 25% of total Tier 1 capital, but are classified as long-term debt in accordance with GAAP. On March 1, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a final rule that allows the continued inclusion of trust-preferred securities (and/or related subordinated debentures) in the Tier I capital of bank holding companies.

The following table presents the Company’s and the Bank’s capital ratios as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, in thousands:


	March 31, 2013					December 31, 2012
	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio
Tier 1 Leverage Ratio
Plumas Bancorp and Subsidiary	$	50,174		10.7	%	$	49,052		10.3	%

Minimum regulatory requirement		28,381		8.0	%		28,286		8.0	%
Plumas Bank		54,409		15.4	%		54,096		15.3	%
Minimum requirement for “Well-Capitalized” institution under the prompt corrective action plan		35,440		10.0	%		35,333		10.0	%
Minimum regulatory requirement		28,352		8.0	%		28,266		8.0	%

Management believes that the Company and the Bank currently meet all their capital adequacy requirements.

The current and projected capital positions of the Company and 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 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively, at all times.

New Proposed Capital Rules. During 2012 the federal bank regulatory agencies issued joint proposed rules that implement Basel III regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Reform Act. “Basel III” refers to two consultative documents released by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in December 2009, the rules text released in December 2010 and loss absorbency rules issued in January 2011, which include significant changes to bank capital, leverage and liquidity requirements. The proposed rules received extensive comments. In a joint press release issued in November 2012, the agencies stated that they do not expect any of the proposed rules to become effective on the original target date of January 1, 2013. Industry participants are expecting further guidance in early 2013. Management has completed a preliminary assessment of the impact of the proposed rules and believes Plumas Bank’s ratios would be in compliance with the requirements of the proposed rules if they were presently in effect.

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 March 31, 2013, the Company had $83.3 million in unfunded loan commitments and $70 thousand in letters of credit. This compares to $76.0 million in unfunded loan commitments and $110 thousand in letters of credit at December 31, 2012. Of the $83.3 million in unfunded loan commitments, $41.9 million and $44.4 million represented commitments to commercial and consumer customers, respectively. Of the total unfunded commitments at March 31, 2013, $37.4 million were secured by real estate, of which $11.3 million was secured by commercial real estate and $26.1 million was secured by residential real estate 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 one depository branch, one lending office and one loan administration office and two non branch automated teller machine locations. Total rental expenses under all operating leases totaled $48,000 and $46,000 during three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The expiration dates of the leases vary, with the first such lease expiring during 2013 and the last such lease expiring during 2015.

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 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 charging competitive offering rates on deposit products and the use of established lines of credit.

The Company is a member of the FHLB and can borrow up to $99,896,000 from the FHLB secured by commercial and residential mortgage loans with carrying values totaling $190,239,000. See “Short-term Borrowing Arrangements” for additional information on our FHLB borrowing capacity. The Company also has an unsecured $6 million Federal Funds borrowing line with one of its correspondent banks.

Customer deposits are the Company’s primary source of funds. Total deposits were $412.2 million as of March 31, 2013, up $670 thousand from the December 31, 2012 balance of $411.5 million. Deposits are held in various forms with varying maturities. The Company’s securities portfolio, Federal funds sold, Federal Home Loan Bank 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.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

Under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, Plumas Bancorp is required to pay dividends on a quarterly basis at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years, after which the dividend rate automatically increases to 9%. Dividend payments on the Series A Preferred Stock may be deferred without default, but the dividend is cumulative and, if Plumas Bancorp fails to pay dividends for six quarters, the holder will have the right to appoint representatives to Plumas Bancorp’s board of directors. As previously disclosed, Plumas Bancorp has determined to defer regularly scheduled quarterly interest payments on its Series A Preferred Stock. Therefore, Plumas Bancorp is in arrears with the dividend payments on the Series A Preferred Stock. During April, Plumas Bancorp repurchased at auction 7,000 of 11,949 outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; see Note 12 of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of the date of filing this report, the amount of the arrearage on the dividend payments of the remaining 4,949 shares of Series A Preferred Stock is $0.7 million representing twelve quarterly payments.
