John I. Jelavich, CEO commented, "2013 was another year of solid results driven by exceptional loan growth in a slow economy. Our ability to grow our portfolio at a more rapid rate than most of our peers while maintaining credit quality at a very high level is remarkable. Loan pricing for quality relationships remains fiercely competitive and has adversely affected our current returns but we believe we will benefit over the long term by developing selected high quality banking relationships."

"In late summer, the new Grass Valley branch office was successfully opened after our board members agreed it was the time and place to invest in our future. Our marketing approach there is similar to how we have developed the Yuba City operations. We assembled a team of high quality relationship bankers, are targeting our prospects, explaining why they should move to a premier community bank and then ask for their business! We strongly believe this strategy will bring success there as it has in Yuba City," Jelavich concluded.
