President’s Comments
Andrew J. Ryback, director, president and chief executive officer of Plumas Bancorp and Plumas Bank stated, “I am pleased to report that we finished the first quarter of 2021 with improvements in many of our key financial metrics as compared to the first quarter of 2020. In terms of operational improvements, we implemented new Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”) software allowing Plumas Bank to efficiently process 774 PPP loans totaling
Ryback continued, “Furthermore, I am proud that in addition to successfully navigating all of the challenges of operating in a pandemic environment while at the same time generating improvements in profitability, we were able to identify and execute on two important strategic initiatives. Namely, we recently announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement whereby Plumas Bancorp will acquire Feather River Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of Bank of Feather River headquartered in Yuba City, California. That announcement was followed by notice that we have relocated the Plumas Bancorp headquarters to Reno, Nevada.” Ryback continued, “Our growth in these active markets has been driven by our strategic initiatives to expand both our regional footprint and the services we provide to our clients.
As we eagerly prepare for our acquisition of Bank of Feather River, we continue to develop technological services for clients including e-sign capabilities, enhanced remote deposit capture and ACH services for businesses, and real-time online banking enrollment. All the while we are continually enhancing our security program with a focus on fraud detection and prevention.”
Ryback concluded, “The expansion of our footprint as we integrate Bank of Feather River represents a key step in the direction of planned further growth. We will continue to stay focused on the fundamentals while at the same time identifying and executing on transactions that support our strategic direction. With each development, be it technological or geographical, we reinforce our guiding principle that Plumas Bank is Here. For Good.”

During November 2020 we eliminated our interest-bearing demand deposit products, transferring these accounts to either money market accounts or non-interest bearing demand accounts based on product type. We made this change to simplify our product offerings in light of the changes to Federal Reserve Board Regulation D which no longer limits the number of transfers or withdrawals from Money Market or Savings accounts.
