Current report
We are subject to market, operational, accounting, credit and other related risks associated with our interest rate hedging strategies.
Current report
We may seek to mitigate our interest rate risk by entering into interest rate swaps and other interest rate derivative contracts from time to time. No hedging strategy can completely protect us and the derivative financial instruments we elect may not be effective in reducing our interest rate risk. Our hedging strategies rely on assumptions and projections regarding interest rates, asset levels and general market factors and subject us to counterparty risks, such as the risks of insolvency or other inability of the counterparty to a particular transaction to perform its obligations thereunder, including providing sufficient collateral. Hedging strategies that prove to be ineffective, inaccurate assumptions or projections or the failure of a counterparty to fulfill its contractual obligations could increase our risks and losses.
Current report
To the extent a derivative contract does not meet the requirements for applying hedge accounting in accordance with GAAP, our earnings may be adversely affected. In particular, to be eligible for hedge accounting under GAAP, derivatives must be highly effective in offsetting changes in the value or cash flows of the hedged items and appropriately designated or documented as such. If it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective at hedging the designated exposure, hedge accounting is discontinued and the changes in fair value of the instrument are included in our reported net income.
Current report
In addition, hedging strategies involve transaction and other costs. Therefore, our hedging strategies and the derivatives that we use may not adequately offset the risks of interest rate volatility and could result in or magnify losses, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and result of operations.
Current report
We rely upon independent appraisals to determine the value of the real estate that secures a substantial portion of our loans, and the values indicated by such appraisals may not be realizable if we are forced to foreclose upon such loans.
Current report
A substantial portion of our loan portfolio consists of loans secured by real estate. We generally rely upon appraisers at the time of origination to estimate the value of such real estate. Appraisals are only estimates of value, and the soundness of those estimates may be affected by volatility in the real estate market or other changes in market conditions. In addition, the appraisers may make mistakes of fact or judgment, which adversely affect the reliability of their appraisals. In addition, events occurring after the initial appraisal may cause the value of the real estate to increase or decrease. For example, since 2020 and in light of the prevalence of hybrid work arrangements and associated lower occupancy rates, in many cases the value of commercial real estate secured by office properties has declined. As a result of these factors, the real estate securing some of our loans may be less valuable than anticipated at the time the loans were made. If a default occurs on a loan secured by real estate that is less valuable than originally estimated, then we may not be able to recover the outstanding balance of the loan and will suffer a loss.

Risks Related to Our Proposed Acquisition of Cornerstone** Community Bancorp**
Previous report
Our failure to manage our proposed acquisition of Cornerstone Community Bancorp may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Previous report
In January 2025, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Cornerstone Community Bancorp (“Cornerstone”), which is the holding company for Cornerstone Community Bank based in Red Bluff, California. The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions in the agreement, Cornerstone will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Acquiring other banks involves risks commonly associated with acquisitions generally, including, among other things, the risk that acquisition activity may divert our management’s attention from other aspects of our business, the difficulty in estimating the value of a target company, and the risk that an acquired business may not perform in accordance with our expectations. Our future results of operations will depend in large part on our ability to successfully integrate Cornerstone’s operations with our own and retain Cornerstone’s customers. If we are unable to successfully manage the risks related to the Merger and the integration of the separate business, customers, employees and operating systems of Cornerstone with our own, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Previous report
We may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed merger with Cornerstone.
Previous report
The success of the Merger will depend on, among other things, our ability to combine and integrate the business of Cornerstone into our business. If we are unable to successfully achieve this objective, the anticipated benefits of the Merger may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.
Previous report
The Company and Cornerstone operate independently and will continue to do so until the Merger is completed. It is possible that the integration process or other factors could result in the loss or departure of key employees, the disruption of the ongoing business of the Company or Cornerstone or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies. It is also possible that clients, customers, depositors and counterparties of Cornerstone could choose to discontinue their relationships with the Company after the Merger, which would adversely affect the future anticipated performance of the Company. It is also possible that we may not realize all or some of the anticipated cost savings of the Merger, or that the realization of cost savings may be delayed. These risks could have an adverse effect on the Company, its financial condition, prospects and results of operations following the consummation of the Merger.
Previous report
We will incur substantial costs related to the Merger.
Previous report
We have incurred and expect to incur a number of significant non-recurring costs associated with the Merger. These costs include legal, financial advisory, accounting, consulting, and other advisory fees, severance/employee benefit-related costs and other related costs. Some of these costs are payable regardless of whether the Merger is completed. We may incur additional costs to maintain employee morale and retain key employees during the pendency of the Merger. There can be no assurances that the expected benefits and efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses will be realized to offset these transaction costs over time.
Reworded paragraphs (16)
Previous wording
Our lending operations and customers are primarily located in the eastern region of Northern California and Northern Nevada. As a result, a significant majority of the loans in our loan portfolios as of December 31, 2024, were secured by properties and collateral located within these regions. As of such date, approximately 92% of the loans in our loan portfolio were made to borrowers who primarily conduct business or live in Northern California or Northern Nevada. This geographic concentration imposes risks from lack of geographic diversification, as adverse economic developments in Northern California or Northern Nevada, among other things, could affect the volume of loan originations, increase the level of nonperforming assets, increase the rate of foreclosure losses on loans and reduce the value of our loans and the underlying collateral. Any regional or local economic downturn affecting Northern California or Northern Nevada or existing or prospective borrowers or property values in such areas may affect us and our profitability more significantly and more adversely than depository organizations whose operations are less geographically concentrated. A significant downturn in the national economy or the local economy due to the real estate market, public policy decisions, agricultural commodity prices, natural disaster, fires, drought or other factors could result in a decline in the local economy in general, which could in turn negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Previous wording
The risk of loan losses is inherent in the lending business.** **We maintain an allowance for credit losses based upon our actual losses over a relevant time period and management’s assessment of all relevant qualitative factors that may cause future loss experience to differ from our historical loss experience. Although we maintain a rigorous process for determining the allowance for credit losses, we cannot be certain that it will be sufficient to cover future loan losses. If our allowance for credit losses is not adequate to absorb future losses, or if bank regulatory agencies require us to increase our allowance for credit losses, our earnings could be significantly and adversely impacted.

Although we maintain a rigorous process for determining the allowance for credit losses, we cannot be certain that it will be sufficient to cover future loan losses. Determining the appropriate levels of the allowances for credit losses inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and requires us to make estimates of current credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes. If our allowance for credit losses is not adequate to absorb future losses, or if bank regulatory agencies require us to increase our allowance for credit losses, our earnings could be significantly and adversely impacted.
Previous wording
Inflation began to rise sharply at the end of 2021 and has remained at an elevated level through 2024. Small to medium-sized businesses may be impacted more during periods of high inflation as they are not able to leverage economics of scale to mitigate cost pressures compared to larger businesses. Consequently, the ability of our business customers to repay their loans may deteriorate, and in some cases this deterioration may occur quickly, which would adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, a prolonged period of inflation could cause wages and other costs to the Company to increase, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Although we maintain a rigorous process for managing the impact of possible interest rate fluctuations on earnings, there is a risk that despite our efforts, our earnings could be significantly and adversely impacted by changes in interest rates.
Current wording
Our earnings could be significantly and adversely impacted by changes in interest rates. While we maintain processes for managing the impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings, there is a risk that these processes may not fully mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our business and profitability.
Previous wording
Other primary sources of funds consist of cash flows from operations, investment maturities and sales, loan repayments, and proceeds from the issuance and sale of any equity and debt securities to investors. Additional liquidity is provided by the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the Federal Home Loan Bank and our ability to raise brokered deposits. We also may borrow funds from third-party lenders, such as other financial institutions. Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize our activities, or on terms that are acceptable to us, could be impaired by factors that affect us directly or the bank or non-bank financial services industries or the economy in general, such as disruptions in the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the bank or non-bank financial services industries.

Previous wording
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires that we carry our available-for-sale investment securities at fair value on our balance sheet. Unrealized gains or losses on these securities, reflecting the difference between the fair market value and the amortized cost, net of its tax effect, are reported as a component of shareholders’ equity. In certain instances, GAAP requires recognition through earnings of declines in the fair value of securities that are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired. Changes in the fair value of these securities may result from a number of circumstances that are beyond our control, such as changes in interest rates, the financial condition of municipalities, government sponsored enterprises or insurers of municipal bonds, changes in demand for these securities as a result of economic conditions, or reduced market liquidity. If our investment securities decline in market value and impairments of these assets results, we could be required to recognize a loss which could have a material adverse effect on our net income and capital levels.

Any impairment that is not credit related is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses on the balance sheet, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. Changes in the fair value of these securities may result from a number of circumstances that are beyond our control, such as changes in interest rates, the financial condition of municipalities, government sponsored enterprises or insurers of municipal bonds, changes in demand for these securities as a result of economic conditions, or reduced market liquidity.

Previous wording
The recent high-profile failures of several depository institutions may have negatively impacted customer confidence in the safety and soundness of some regional and community banks. As a result, we face that risk that customers may prefer to maintain deposits with larger financial institutions or invest in short-term fixed income securities instead of deposits with the Bank, either of which could materially adversely impact our liquidity, cost of funding, capital, and results of operations. In response to the failures of other depository institutions, we may face increased regulation and supervisory oversight, higher capital or liquidity requirements or a heightened risk of regulatory enforcement activities, any of which could have a material impact on our business. Further, our costs of deposit insurance may increase as a result of these bank failures and the resulting losses to the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund. In addition, concerns about the banking industry’s operating environment and the public trading prices of bank holding companies are often correlated, particularly during times of financial stress, which could adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.
Current wording
The high-profile failures of several depository institutions may have negatively impacted customer confidence in the safety and soundness of some regional and community banks. Future failures of or publicized financial difficulties at other depository institutions similarly erode customer confidence.

Previous wording
As a depository organization, we must meet significant regulatory capital requirements and maintain sufficient liquidity. We may need to raise additional capital in the future to provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet our commitments and business needs. Our ability to raise additional capital depends on conditions in the capital markets, economic conditions, and a number of other factors, including investor perceptions regarding the banking industry, market conditions and governmental activities, and on our financial condition and performance. Accordingly, we cannot assure that we will be able to raise additional capital if needed or on terms acceptable to us. If we fail to maintain capital to meet regulatory requirements, our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

Previous wording
The occurrence of catastrophic weather events or pandemics could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. Most of our offices are located in California, as are most of the real and personal properties securing our loans. The areas in which we operate and lend in California and Nevada are prone to earthquakes, fires, flooding and other natural disasters. In addition to possibly sustaining damage to its own properties, if there is a major earthquake, fire, flood or other natural disaster, we face the risk that many of our borrowers may experience uninsured property losses, or sustained job interruption and/or loss which may materially impair their ability to meet the terms of their loan obligations. Therefore, a major earthquake, fire, flood or other natural disaster in California or Nevada could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Previous wording
Over the past decade, California has experienced a severe drought, though drought conditions have lessened in the past few years. A significant portion of our borrowers are involved in or are dependent on the agricultural industry in California, which requires water. As of December 31, 2024, approximately 13% of our loans were categorized as agricultural loans. As a result of the drought, there have been governmental proposals concerning the distribution or rationing of water. If the amount of water available to agriculture becomes scarcer due to drought or rationing, growers may not be able to continue to produce agricultural products profitably, which could force some out of business. Although many of our customers are not directly involved in agriculture, they could be impacted by difficulties in the agricultural industry because many jobs and businesses in our market areas are related to the production of agricultural products. Therefore, a drought could adversely impact our loan portfolio, business, financial condition and results of operations.

In January 2025, we announced our proposed merger with Cornerstone Community Bancorp. In July 2021 we completed the acquisition of Bank of Feather River and in 2023 we opened a new branch in Chico California. Previously, during the last ten years we completed two branch purchase and assumption transactions, the establishment of a new branch office in Reno, Nevada and a loan production office in Klamath Falls, Oregon. We may engage in additional acquisition activity and open additional offices in the future to expand our markets and further our growth strategy. Acquiring other banks or branches involves various other risks commonly associated with acquisitions including difficulty in estimating the value of the business to be acquired, integrating the operations, and retaining key employees and customers. We cannot assure that future acquisitions or new offices will be successful. Further, growth may strain our administrative, managerial, financial and operational resources and increase demands on our systems and controls. If we pursue our growth strategy too aggressively or fail to attract qualified personnel, control costs or maintain asset quality, or if factors beyond management’s control divert attention away from our business operations, our pursuit of growth could have a material adverse impact on our business. See “Risks Related to Our Proposed Acquisition of Cornerstone Community Bancorp.”

The Company’s inability to receive dividends from the Bank could adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Even if applicable laws and regulations would permit the Bank to pay dividends to the Company and would permit the Company to pay dividends to our shareholders, our Board of Directors could determine that it is not in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders to do so in order to preserve or redeploy our capital resources, for example. For these reasons, the amount and frequency of dividends that we pay to shareholders may vary from time to time.

Based on experience, we believe that our deposit accounts are relatively stable sources of funds. If we increase interest rates paid to retain deposits, our earnings may be adversely affected, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
