Plumas Bancorp Announces Revised Second Quarter Results

Share:

QUINCY, CA--(Marketwire - August 14, 2009) - Plumas Bancorp, (NASDAQ: PLBC), a bank holding
company and the parent company of Plumas Bank, today announced that it has
filed its Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company has revised its results compared to those announced in its
press release on July 24, 2009. This revision arises from additional
provisions to the Company's allowance for loan losses due to a recent
reappraisal of real estate collateral for a previously identified impaired
loan in which Plumas Bank is a participant. Plumas Bank received this
appraisal information from the lead bank after issuing the July 24, 2009
press release but before the filing of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
June 30, 2009. As required under generally accepted accounting principles,
the Company has recorded an additional provision for loan losses of $2.0
million, offset in part by a tax benefit of $820,000, and revised the
financial statements included with the press release of July 24, 2009.

The Company reported a net loss of $3.2 million or $0.71 per diluted share
in the Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to a loss of
$2.1 million or $0.47 per diluted share as reported in its press release of
July 24, 2009. For the first six months of 2009, the Company reported a
net loss of $4.5 million or $1.00 per diluted share in the Form 10-Q for
the second quarter of 2009 as compared to a net loss of $3.3 million or
$0.76 per diluted share in its press release of July 24, 2009.

Douglas N. Biddle, president and chief executive officer, commented,
"Subsequent to issuing our press release on July 24, 2009, we received
appraisal information from the lead bank related to a participation loan
that required us to make an adjustment to the provision and allowance for
loan losses. The allowance for loan losses represents management's best
estimate of the inherent probable losses in the loan portfolio. Actual
losses will ultimately be determined by future events that will likely be
linked to the future condition of the general economy and real estate
markets."

Shareholders' Equity

Total shareholders' equity increased by $6.0 million from $36.8 million at
June 30, 2008 to $42.8 million at June 30, 2009. This increase is related
to the issuance of $11.9 million in preferred stock under the government's
Capital Purchase Program ("CPP") during January of 2009, partially offset
by our 2009 loss, common stock cash dividends paid during 2008, preferred
stock dividends during 2009 and common stock repurchases made from April
through December of 2008. No stock repurchases were made in 2009 and none
are anticipated as long as the preferred stock is outstanding.

Book value per common share decreased to $6.54 at June 30, 2009 from $7.63
at June 30, 2008. Plumas Bancorp's total risk-based capital ratio increased
to 14.3% at June 30, 2009 compared to 12.7% and 12.2% at June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2008, respectively.

Investments, Loans, Deposits and Borrowings

Investment securities increased by $7.8 million from June 30, 2008 as we
invested the funds received from the CPP in government guaranteed
securities. These funds also provide us with additional lending capacity
which we can utilize to support our growth objectives and local economic
expansion. Net loans increased by $1.4 million from $353 million at June
30, 2008 to $354 million at June 30, 2009. During the same period,
deposits increased by $23.8 million to $399 million. This increase in
deposits is primarily related to a new interest bearing transaction account
designed for local public agencies, which we have successfully marketed to
several of the municipalities in our service area. The Company's loan to
deposit ratio decreased from 95.1% at June 30, 2008 to 91.2% at June 30,
2009.

The increase in deposits allowed us to reduce our level of short-term
borrowings which consist of over night borrowings with the Federal Home
Loan Bank of San Francisco ("FHLB"). FHLB borrowings totaled $5 million at
June 30, 2009, down $19.5 million from $24.5 million at June 30, 2008.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

For the quarter ended June 30, 2009 net interest income before provision
for loan losses totaled $5.0 million, a decline of $126 thousand or 2% from
the $5.1 million earned during the second quarter of 2008. Net interest
margin declined 38 basis points from 5.15% for the quarter ended June 30,
2008 to 4.77% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. During this same period
there was a 175 basis point decline in the Federal Funds rate and we
experienced a $29.4 million increase in nonperforming loans. While
nonperforming loans are included in the computation of net interest margin,
the vast majority of these loans are not accruing interest. The result is
a decrease in loan yield and a decrease in net interest margin. The
increase in nonperforming loans is the primary reason for the decline in
net interest margin since the effect of the decline in market rates on the
loan portfolio has been mitigated by a decline in our cost of funds. The
Company's cost of funds has benefited from both the maturity of higher rate
time deposits and the decline in market interest rates.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009 net interest income before provision
for loan losses totaled $9.7 million, a decline of $453 thousand from the
$10.1 million earned during the same period in 2008. Net interest margin
declined 35 basis points to 4.70% during the current six-month period from
5.05% for the same period in the prior year.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2009 were $31.3 million (8.60% of total
loans), an increase of $4.6 million from the December 31, 2008 balance of
$26.7 million and $29.4 million over the $1.9 million (0.55% of total
loans) balance at June 30, 2008. The increase in nonperforming loans from
the June 30, 2008 balance is related primarily to six separate loan
relationships which are secured by commercial real estate. These loans are
considered impaired, have a total principal balance at June 30, 2009 of
$23.1 million, specific reserves of $4.4 million and a fair value of $18.7
million. Nonperforming assets (which is comprised of nonperforming loans,
discussed above, plus repossessed vehicles and foreclosed real estate) at
June 30, 2009 were $35.2 million, an increase of $4.2 million over the
balance of $31.0 million at December 31, 2008 and an increase of $30.8
million over the $4.4 million balance at June 30, 2008. Nonperforming
assets include foreclosed real estate of $3.9 million at June 30, 2009
compared to $4.1 million at December 31, 2008 and $2.4 million at June 30,
2008.

The Company increased its provision for loan losses from $990 thousand
during the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $8.75 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of total loans, the allowance
for loan losses has increased from 1.25% at June 30, 2008 to 1.97% at
December 31, 2008 and to 2.72% at June 30, 2009.

Net charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $6.1
million, an increase of $5.3 million from the $746 thousand incurred during
the first half of 2008. Net charge-offs as an annualized percentage of
average loans totaled 3.39% during the first six months of 2009, up from
0.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
