Diluted earnings per share were $1.37 and $1.07 in the first six months of 2021 and 2020, respectively.\n\n“During the second quarter, we generated strong results for our shareholders, growing both net interest income and non-interest revenue. In addition, we managed expenses closely and maintained exceptional credit quality,” said Russell A. Colombo, Chief Executive Officer. “Importantly, our acquisition of American River Bankshares is on track to close in the third quarter. This strategic acquisition will give us a well-established foothold in the growing Sacramento region and expand our Northern California footprint.”\n\nBancorp provided the following highlights from the second quarter of 2021:\n\n\nLoan balances were $2.003 billion at June 30, 2021, compared to $2.122 billion at March 31, 2021 and $2.110 billion at June 30, 2020. Small Business Administration (\"SBA\") Paycheck Protection Program (\"PPP\") loans outstanding were $248.3 million at June 30, 2021, versus $365.0 million and $298.9 million at March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, $189.3 million of our PPP loans had been forgiven and paid off by the SBA.\n\n\n\nCredit quality remains strong, with non-accrual loans representing 0.46% of total loans as of June 30, 2021, compared to 0.43% at March 31, 2021, and 0.08% at June 30, 2020. Reversals of $920 thousand to the allowance for credit losses on loans and $612 thousand to the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments in the second quarter of 2021 were driven primarily by an improvement in economic forecasts.\n\n\n\nTotal deposits grew $27.4 million to $2.684 billion at June 30, 2021 from $2.656 billion at March 31, 2021.
