I, William E. Elliott, certify that:
1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Plumas
Bancorp (the Registrant);
2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements made, in light of the
circumstances under which such statements were made, not
misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;
3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
financial information included in this report, fairly present
in all material respects the financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for,
the periods presented in this report;
4. The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are
responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and have:
a. Designed such disclosure controls and
procedures, or caused such disclosure controls
and procedures to be designed under our
supervision, to ensure that material information
relating to the registrant, including its
consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us
by others within those entities, particularly
during the period in which this report is being
prepared;
b. Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's
disclosure controls and procedures and presented
in this report our conclusions about the
effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
procedures, as of the end of the period covered
by this report based on such evaluation; and
c. Disclosed in this report any change in the
registrant's internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the registrant's
most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's
fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual
report) that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the
registrant's internal control over financial
reporting; and
5. The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have
disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal
control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors
and the audit committee of the registrant's board of directors
(or persons performing the equivalent functions):
a. All significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses in the design or operation of
internal control over financial reporting which
are reasonably likely to adversely affect the
registrant's ability to record, process,
summarize and report financial information; and
b. Any fraud, whether or not material, that
involves management or other employees who have
a significant role in the registrant's internal
control over financial reporting.
