         American River Bankshares Reports Consistent Earnings Per Share

Sacramento, CA, July 17, 2008 - American River Bankshares (NASDAQ-GS: AMRB)
today reported diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2008 of
$0.36, a 9.1% increase from the $0.33 recorded in the first quarter of 2008 and
consistent with the $0.36 reported in the second quarter of 2007. Net income for
the second quarter of 2008 increased $148,000 (8.1%) to $1,981,000 from
$1,833,000 for the first quarter of 2008 but decreased $117,000 (5.6%) from the
second quarter of 2007. Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June
30, 2008 decreased 4.2% to $0.68 from $0.71 for the first half of 2007. Net
income decreased 8.8% to $3,814,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from
$4,184,000 for the same period in 2007.

"Our second quarter results have many bright spots to talk about, including a
significant increase in EPS quarter over quarter, growth in our core business
and strong financial metrics," said David Taber, President and CEO of American
River Bankshares. "The fact that we're able to show these types of results
despite dealing with the current economic and lending environment and an
increase in non-performing assets tells me that we're doing the right things and
doing them well."

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin as a percentage was 4.99% for the second quarter of 2008
compared to 4.94% for the first quarter of 2008 and 5.10% from the second
quarter of 2007. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2008 increased
slightly to $6,395,000 from $6,342,000 for the first quarter of 2008 but
decreased $214,000 (3.2%) from the second quarter of 2007. Interest income for
the second quarter of 2008 decreased 3.8% to $8,252,000 from $8,578,000 for the
first quarter of 2008 and decreased 13.1% from $9,498,000 for the second quarter
of 2007. Net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 4.96%
compared to 5.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Net interest income
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased 3.2% to $12,737,000 from
$13,156,000 at June 30, 2008 and interest income decreased 11.2% to $16,830,000
from $18,962,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

The average yield on earning assets declined from 7.30% in the second quarter of
2007 to 6.42% for the second quarter of 2008. Much of the decline in yields can
be attributed to the overall lower interest rate environment, in response to the
Federal Reserve Board (the "FRB") decreases in the Federal funds and discount
rates. Decreases by the FRB have resulted in a 325 basis point decline in
short-term interest rates since September 2007. The average balance of earning
assets also decreased slightly by 0.8% from $526,783,000 in the second quarter
of 2007 to $522,550,000 in the second quarter of 2008. The increased level of
non-accrual loans also contributed to the decrease in the yield on loans by
approximately 25 basis points, which declined from 8.20% in the second quarter
of 2007 to 6.90% for the second quarter of 2008.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2008 decreased 16.9% to $1,857,000
from $2,236,000 for the first quarter of 2008 and decreased 35.7% from
$2,889,000 for the second quarter of 2007. For the six months ended June 30,
2008, interest expense decreased 29.5% to $4,093,000 from $5,806,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2007. The average cost of funds decreased from 3.18% in
the second quarter of 2007 to 1.96% for the second quarter of 2008. The average
balance of interest bearing liabilities increased from $363,947,000 in the
second quarter of 2007 to $380,969,000 in the second quarter of 2008. The
Company continues to focus on attracting lower cost business relationships,
particularly business checking and money market accounts. In addition, the
Company has taken advantage of the lower borrowing rates by locking in one to
two year funding from its financial partners and letting maturing time deposits,
that were seeking above market rates, run-off. The Company also brought in
additional funds, in the form of time deposits, from the State of California at
an average rate of 1.64%.

Non-performing loans and leases as of June 20, 2008 were 3.49% of total loans
and leases compared to 2.89% at March 31, 2008 and 0.21% one year ago.

at March 31, 2008 and $7,501,000 at December 31, 2007. At June 30, 2008, four
loan relationships made up $12,131,000 or 85.2% of the non-performing assets. Of
these four relationships three continue from last quarter, the $1,352,000
development loan for residential lots, the $5,286,000 loan for a mini storage
facility, and the multiple loans to a developer. In April 2008, the Company
confirmed that the borrower on the mini storage facility loan had filed for
reorganization under Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The business has appointed new
management and we have received current operating cash flow statements
indicating their ability to service our loan at a market rate of interest. The
borrower is current on its payments under a court-confirmed agreement having
made two interest payments during the second quarter of 2008 and one interest
payment subsequent to quarter end. These payments have been recorded as interest
income. One of the eight individual loans to the developer, in the amount of
$825,000, paid off during the second quarter and another in the amount of
$504,000 paid off subsequent to quarter end. Both loans included full pay-off of
our principal, interest and associated fees. Six loans remain from this
relationship--loans on two finished homes totaling $1,424,000 and four on
finished lots for $999,000. In April 2008, the Company filed notices of default
on all six properties. During the second quarter of 2008 the Company identified
an additional non-performing loan in the amount of $2,566,000. This loan is
secured by an assignment of a real estate secured note covering a former mobile
home park, intended for apartment development. Management believes this loan is
adequately secured and backed by creditworthy guarantors.

The Company evaluates non-performing loans for impairment and assigns specific
reserves when necessary. At June 30, 2008, specific reserves in the amount of
$1,189,000 were held on the nonperforming loans considered to be impaired.

"Deposit levels remain a challenge but not because of retention issues," said
Taber. "We continue to build on our existing client base by bringing in new,
high-quality deposit relationships." He continued, "In line with current
economic conditions, our average account balances have dropped. This shift in
our client's cash flow is reflected in our increase in business loans as they
draw on lines of credit to fund their businesses."
