NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of financial statement preparation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain financial information and footnotes have been omitted or condensed. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Umpqua Holdings Corporation (the Company), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Umpqua Bank (the Bank) and Strand, Atkinson, Williams and York, Inc. (Strand, Atkinson), and Umpqua Statutory Trust I, Umpqua Statutory Trust II and Umpqua Statutory Trust III. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all necessary adjustments (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2002 annual report to shareholders. The results of operations for the 2003 interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future interim periods or the entire fiscal year.

(b) Earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, with diluted including the effect of potentially dilutive common shares. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share computations was as follows:

Dollars in thousands, except per   Three months ended June 30,   Six months ended June 30,
share amounts   2003   2002   2003   2002
Net Income $ 8,132 $ 5,282 $ 16,512  $ 9,243
                 
Average outstanding shares   28,283,843   20,041,973   28,221,008   20,001,545
                 
Basic earnings per share $ 0.29  $  0.26 $ 0.59 0.46
                 
Common Stock Equivalents   384,083   276,731   379,471   249,500
                 
Fully diluted shares   28,667,926   20,318,704   28,600,479   20,251,045
                 
Fully diluted EPS $ 0.28 $ 0.26 $  0.58 $ 0.46
                 

(c) Allowance for credit losses

The allowance for credit losses is based upon estimates of losses inherent in the portfolio. The amount of losses actually incurred can vary significantly from these estimates. Assessing the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis allows management to adjust these estimates based upon the most recent information available.

        Activity in the allowance for credit losses was as follows for the six-month periods ending June 30:

  Six months ended
Dollars in thousands June 30, 2003 June 30, 2002
Beginning Balance $24,731  $13,221 
Provision for Loan Losses 2,425  1,604 
Charge-offs (2,440) (363)
Recoveries 600  236 
Net charge-offs (1,840) (127)
Ending Balance $25,316  $14,698 
     
(d)    Mortgage servicing rights

Mortgages serviced for others are not included in the accompanying balance sheets. Loans serviced for others totaled $1.2 billion and $985 million at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. Mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") retained are initially measured by allocating the carrying value of the loans between the assets sold and the interest retained, based on the relative fair values at the date of the sale. MSRs are subsequently measured for impairment by comparing the amortized basis to the fair value. The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the MSRs recorded at June 30, 2003 included a weighted average constant prepayment rate ("CPR") of 20.4% and a discount rate of 8.625%.

2.      SEGMENT INFORMATION

For purposes of measuring and reporting the financial results, the Company is divided into three business segments; Community Banking, Mortgage Banking and Retail Brokerage Services. The Community Banking segment consists of operations conducted by the Company's subsidiary Umpqua Bank. The Bank provides a full array of credit and deposit products to meet the banking needs of its market area and targeted customers. The Mortgage Banking segment originates, sells and services residential mortgage loans. The Retail Brokerage Services segment consists of the operations of the Company's subsidiary Strand, Atkinson, Williams and York, Inc. The following table presents summary income statements and reconciliation to the Company's consolidated totals for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

At June 30, 2003, the Company had a stock option plan that was accounted for under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

4.       RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. FIN 46 provides guidance on how to identify the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and determine when the variable interest entity should be consolidated by the primary beneficiary. The recognition and measurement provisions of this Interpretation become effective for the Company's existing variable interest entities for the quarter ending September 30, 2003.  The Company is still evaluating the impact that adoption of FIN 46 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On May 31, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity. This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 has not had a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," as well as disclosures included elsewhere in this report, are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the estimates used, including the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, the value of retained mortgage servicing rights, impairment of intangible assets, other contingencies and litigation. Estimates are based upon historical experience, current economic conditions and other factors that management considers reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates result in judgments regarding the carrying values of assets and liabilities when these values are not re adily available from other sources as well as assessing and identifying the accounting treatments of commitments and contingencies. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following critical accounting policies identify the more significant judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

The allowance for credit losses is established to absorb known and inherent losses attributable to loans and leases outstanding. The adequacy of the allowance is monitored on an ongoing basis and is based on management's evaluation of numerous factors. These factors include the quality of the current loan portfolio, the trend in the loan portfolio's risk ratings, current economic conditions, loan concentrations, loan growth rates, past-due and non-performing trends, evaluation of specific loss estimates for all significant problem loans, historical charge-off and recovery experience and other pertinent information. Approximately 66 percent of the Company's loan portfolio is secured by real estate and a significant depreciation in real estate values in Oregon would cause management to increase the allowance for credit losses.

Retained mortgage servicing rights are measured by allocating the carrying value of the loans between the assets sold and the interest retained, based on the relative fair value at the date of the sale. The fair market values are determined using a discounted cash flow model. Mortgage servicing assets are amortized over the expected life of the loan and are evaluated periodically for impairment. The expected life of the loan can vary from management's estimates due to prepayments by borrowers. Prepayments in excess of management's estimates would negatively impact the recorded value of the mortgage servicing rights. The value of the mortgage servicing rights is also dependent upon the discount rate used in the model. Management reviews this rate on an ongoing basis based on current market rates. A significant increase in the discount rate would negatively impact the value of mortgage servicing rights.

At June 30, 2003 the Company had approximately $161 million in goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of business combinations. The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, on January 1, 2002. In accordance with the standard, goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives are no longer being amortized but instead will be tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Management performs an impairment analysis for the Company's intangibles with indefinite lives on a quarterly basis and determined that there was no impairment as of June 30, 2003.

Periodically, and in the ordinary course of business, various claims and lawsuits are brought by and against the Company. Known claims and litigation that the Company considers material are described in Part II, Item I of this Report. There can be no assurance that all unasserted potential claims are known to us at any point in time.

Management classifies non-capitalizable costs that are a result of the Company's merger activities as merger related expenses. Merger related expenses included severance and employee relocation expenses, costs of closing duplicate facilities, conversion related expenses, contract termination costs and marketing and communication expenses.

Financial Highlights

The Company earned $8.13 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, up $2.85 million, or 54% from the comparable period in the prior year. Diluted earnings per share improved to $0.28 for the second quarter of 2003, up from $0.26 for the same period in 2002. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.24% and 10.83%, respectively, for the quarter compared with 1.48% and 14.82%, respectively, in 2002.

For the six-month period ending June 30, 2003, the Company earned $16.51 million compared with $9.24 million for the comparable period in 2002. Diluted earnings per share was $0.58 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared with $0.46 for the same period in 2002.

The Company reported merger-related expenses of $1.05 million for the second quarter of 2003 and completed the operational integration of Centennial Bancorp (Centennial), which was acquired by the Company in November 2002. These charges resulted primarily from store closures and contract termination costs. In the second quarter of 2002, the Company did not record any merger related expenses.

For the six-month period ending June 30, 2003 the Company reported merger-related expenses of $1.69 million compared with $1.52 million for the same period in 2002. The merger-related expenses in 2002 related to the Company's acquisition of Independent Financial Network in December 2001.

At June 30, 2003 total loans and leases were $1.877 billion, up $98.9 million since December 31, 2002. Total deposits were $2.283 billion at June 30, 2003, up $179.1 million since year-end 2002.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

The primary component of earnings for financial institutions is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, primarily from loans and investments, and interest expense on deposits and borrowings. Changes in net interest income result from changes in "volume," changes in "spread," and change in "margin." Volume refers to the level of average interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities. Spread refers to the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Margin refers to the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets and is influenced by the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as well as the relative proportion of interest-bearing liabilities to interest earning assets.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2003 the Company reported net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis of $27.2 million compared with $18.1 million for the same period in 2002 (Tables 1 and 2). The difference between net interest income on a GAAP basis is due to the taxable equivalent adjustment. The taxable equivalent adjustment is an amount added to non-taxable securities interest income so that it is comparable to income on a taxable investment. The amount of such adjustment was $357,000 and $349,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The $9.1 million increase in net interest income is primarily attributable to the growth in average earning assets, offset by a decrease in the margin. Average earning assets increased to $2.297 billion for the second quarter of 2003, a $1.01 billion increase over the second quarter of 2002. This growth was primarily due to the acquisition of Centennial and internally generated growth. On November 15, 2002, the date of the Centennial acquisition, Centennial had interest earning assets of approximately $740 million.

Loans, the largest component of earning assets, increased $810.0 million on average compared with the prior year period while taxable securities increase $168.3 million over the same period. Overall, the yield on earning assets declined 1.28% for the second quarter of 2003 compared with the same quarter in 2002. The decline in the yield on earning assets was a result of declines in the yield on loans and investment securities compared with the prior year period. The yield on loans declined 1.03% for the second quarter of 2003 compared with the same period in 2002 while the yield on taxable securities declined 2.90% during the same period. The decline in the yield on loans was a result of repayments of higher-yielding fixed rate loans, variable rate loan repricings, and new loan originations occurring at lower rates. The decline in the yield on investment securities was due to prepayments and calls of investment securities. Payments on mortgage-backed or collateralized mortgage obligation securities that exceed forecasted payments cause an acceleration of the premium amortization. Payments on these investment securities accelerated in the second quarter of 2003 due to the historically low mortgage rates. Accelerated premium amortization for the second quarter of 2003 totaled $677,000. Average noninterest earning assets increased $204.9 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared with the same quarter of 2002 due to intangibles and other assets associated with the Centennial acquisition.

Average interest bearing liabilities were $1.773 billion in the second quarter of 2003 compared with $991.6 million in the second quarter of 2002. The increase was due to the Centennial acquisition and the issuance of $75 million of Trust Preferred securities during the third and fourth quarters of 2002. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities declined to 1.69% during the second quarter of 2003 compared with 2.20% for the same period in the prior year. The decline was due to reductions in the rates paid on deposits and maturities of time deposits that were replaced at lower rates. Additionally, average noninterest bearing sources of funds increased from $440.2 million to $863.7 million. As a result of the preceding changes, the spread decreased 0.77% and the margin declined 0.89% for the second quarter of 2003 compared with the second quarter of 2002.

Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $55.1 million for the first six months of 2003 compared with $35.8 million for the same period in 2002 (Tables 3 and 4). The increase was primarily due to an increase in the volume of earning assets, offset by a decrease in the margin. Average earning assets for the first half of 2003 were $2.260 billion compared with $1.278 billion for the same period in 2002, a $982 million increase. The primary reason for the increase was the earning assets acquired in the Centennial acquisition in late 2002 that added approximately $740 million in interest earning assets. The remaining increase was due to growth in the loan and investment portfolios.

Loans, the largest component of earning assets averaged $1.850 billion for the first half of 2003 compared with $1.046 billion for the same period in 2002. This growth was due the Centennial acquisition and new loans booked during 2003. Centennial had approximately $643 million in loans on November 15, 2002, the date of the acquisition. Investments for the first six months of 2003 average $352.7 million compared with $200.4 million for the comparable period in 2002. The yield on average earning assets declined for the first six months of 2003 to 6.28% from 7.40% during the comparable period in 2002. The decline was primarily a result of the decline in the yield on loans and investments. The decline in the yield on loans was a result of repayments of higher-yielding fixed rate loans, variable rate loan repricings, renegotiation of fixed rate loans and new loan originations occurring at lower rates compared with the prior year. The decline in the yield on investment securities was due to prepayments a nd calls of investment securities. Payments on mortgage-backed or collateralized mortgage obligation securities that exceed forecasted payments cause an acceleration of the premium amortization. Payments on these investment securities accelerated in the second quarter of 2003 due to the historically low mortgage rates. Average noninterest earning assets increased to $372.7 for the first six months of 2003 compared with $157.4 million due to intangibles and other assets associated with the Centennial acquisition.

Average interest bearing liabilities were $1.767 billion for the first six months of 2003 compared with $993.5 million for the same period in 2002. The increase was primarily due to interest bearing liabilities acquired in the Centennial acquisition and the issuance of $75 million of Trust Preferred securities during the third and fourth quarters of 2002. The cost of interest bearing liabilities declined during the first half of 2003 to 1.74% compared with 2.26% in 2002. The decline was due to the replacement of higher rate maturing time deposits at lower rates during 2003 as well as a decrease in the rates paid on interest bearing checking and savings accounts. Noninterest bearing funds averaged $841 million for the first six months of 2003 compared with $427.6 million in 2002. Of this increase, $236.4 million was in noninterest bearing checking accounts. As a result of the preceding changes, the spread decreased 0.60% and the margin declined 0.73% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared wi th the same period in 2002.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses is management's estimate of the amount necessary to maintain an allowance for credit losses that is considered adequate based on the risk of losses in the loan and lease portfolio (see additional discussion under Allowance for Credit Losses). The provision for credit losses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003 was $950 and $2,425, respectively compared with $600 and $1,604, respectively for the comparable periods in 2002. Net credit losses were $172 for the second quarter of 2003 and $1,840 for the six-month period ending June 30, 2003. For the same periods in 2002, net charge-offs were $173 and $127, respectively. Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2003 were $21.9 million, up from $18.4 million at December 31, 2002. Changes in the balance of nonperforming loans were as follows:

Dollars in thousands  
Balance December 31, 2002 $ 18,395
     New nonacccruals 10,458
          Less:  
               Charge-offs (247)
               Payments (1,419)
               Returned to accrual (1,003)
               Transferred to OREO (2,174)
               Decrease in loans past due 90  
                    days and accruing interest

(2,131)

Balance June 30, 2003 $ 21,879
   

The allowance for credit losses totaled $25,316, or 1.35% of total loans at June 30, 2003 compared with $24,731, or 1.39% of total loans at December 31, 2002.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 was $11.8 million, a $5.8 million increase over the same period in 2002. Service charges, a major component of noninterest income increased $1.5 million over the prior year due to the Centennial acquisition and growth in the number of deposit accounts. Mortgage banking revenue increased $0.6 million due to a higher volume of mortgages originated and sold, offset by a charge for the impairment of mortgage servicing rights. (See additional discussion under Mortgage Servicing Rights). The Company originated $270 million in residential mortgages during the second quarter of 2003 compared with $110 million in the second quarter of 2002. Brokerage fees, the third largest component of noninterest income was flat compared with the same quarter in the prior year. Gain on the sale of securities was $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2003 compared with a loss of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2002. The Company sold $29.6 million of available for sale securities during the second quarter of 2003. These securities were sold, in part to offset the mortgage servicing rights impairment charge. In the second quarter of 2002, the Company took an impairment charge for certain corporate securities. These securities have since been sold. Other income was $1.1 million for the current quarter compared with $0.5 million in 2002. The primary reason for the increase was a $0.4 million gain on the sale of the Company's credit card portfolio. The Company will continue to originate and provide credit card products to its customers through a service provider. Other income consists of gains/losses on sales of assets, miscellaneous service fees, merchant bankcard processing and other miscellaneous income.

Management monitors and evaluates the adequacy of the allowance on an ongoing basis. The following tools are used to manage and evaluate the loan and lease portfolio:

Back to Table of Contents

 

On a quarterly basis losses inherent in the portfolio are estimated by reviewing the following key elements of the loan portfolio:

The allowance for credit losses is based upon estimates of losses inherent in the portfolio. The amount of losses actually incurred can vary significantly from these estimates. Assessing the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis allows management to adjust these estimates based upon the most recent information available.

Activity in the allowance for credit losses was as follows for the six-month periods ended June 30:

  Six months ended
Dollars in thousands June 30, 2003 June 30, 2002
Beginning Balance $ 24,731  $ 13,221

Deposits

Details of deposits at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 were as follows:

Dollars in thousands June 30, 2003 December 31, 2002
Noninterest bearing demand $                  617,326 $                      494,810

Total Deposits $               2,282,909 $                   2,103,790
     

Liquidity

Liquidity enables the Company to meet the borrowing needs of its customers and withdrawals of its depositors. The Company meets its liquidity needs through the maintenance of cash resources, lines of credit with other financial institutions, maturities and sales of investment securities available for sale, and a stable base of core deposits. Having a stable and diversified deposit base is a significant factor in the Company's long-term liquidity structure. At June 30, 2003 the Company had overnight investments of $60.1 million and available lines of credit of approximately $400 million with various financial institutions.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders' equity increased $16.9 million from year-end 2002 to $305.1 million at June 30, 2003. The increase was the result of earnings of $16.5 million, a $1.7 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income and $4.8 million from the exercise of stock options, offset by dividends paid of $2.3 million and stock repurchased of $0.4 million. At June 30, 2003 the Company's Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were approximately 9.84% and 10.98%, respectively. The Federal Reserve Board's minimum risk-based capital ratio guidelines for Tier 1 and total capital are 4% and 8% respectively.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company considers interest rate, credit and operations risks as the most significant risks impacting the Company. Other types of market risk, such as foreign exchange risk and commodity price risk, do not impact the Company in the normal course of operations.

The Company relies on prudent underwriting standards, loan reviews and an adequate allowance for credit losses to mitigate credit risk. Internal controls and periodic internal audits of business operations mitigate operations risk.

The Company uses an asset/liability model to measure and monitor interest rate risk. The model projects net interest income for the upcoming twelve months in various interest rate scenarios. The model the Company uses includes assumptions regarding prepayments of assets and early withdrawals of liabilities, the level and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the level and responsiveness of interest rates on deposit products without stated maturities and the level of nonperforming assets. These assumptions are based on management's judgment and future expected pricing behavior. Actual results could vary significantly from the results derived from the model. The Company's interest rate risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2002. The Company also has increased its emphasis on noninterest sources of revenue in order to further stabilize future earnings.

In the event of Termination Without Cause or Termination for Good Reason, in addition to receiving Earned Compensation, Davis will receive a severance benefit equal to two times Base Salary, based on Davis' Base Salary just prior to termination, and two times the Bonus Davis received the prior year (the aforementioned combined amounts are collectively referred to herein as the "Severance Benefit"). The Severance Benefit shall be paid in equal installments over two years, starting on the next regular payday following termination. Davis shall also continue to receive health and welfare benefits at Umpqua's expense for the two-year period. Receipt of the Severance Benefit and continued health and welfare benefits is conditioned on Davis not being in violation of any material term of this Agreement. If Umpqua deems that Davis is in violation of a material term of this Agreement, the Board may not withhold benefits under this Section unless the violation is not remedied or is not being remedied to the Board's reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days after written notice, including a description of the violation, has been delivered by the Board to Davis.

        10.    CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFIT

               10.1    Benefit. After announcement of a proposed Change in Control and for a period continuing for one year following a Change in Control, in the event of Termination Without Cause or Termination for Good Reason, instead of receiving the Severance Benefit set forth in Section 9 above, Davis shall receive:

                        (a)    three years Base Salary, based on Davis' Base Salary just prior to the termination of employment and three times the Bonus that Davis was targeted to receive for that year (the aforementioned Base Salary and Bonus are collectively referred to as the "Change in Control Benefit"), paid in equal installments over 36 months, starting on the next regular payday following termination;

                        (b)    continued health and welfare benefits for a period of three years at Umpqua's expense; and

                        (c)    immediate vesting of all unvested stock options; and

                        (d)    credit to Davis' SERP of additional years of service equal to 1/2 of the difference between 17 and the actual years of service on the date of termination.

               10.2    IRC Section 280G Adjustment.

                        (a)    In the event Davis becomes entitled to a payment or benefit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or of any other plan, arrangement or agreement (collectively, the "Payments") of Umpqua or its successor (or any affiliate) (collectively, the "Employer"), and the Employer's Auditor determines that the Payments result in "excess parachute payments" under section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), then Davis shall receive, instead of the Payments, aggregate payments equal to the Reduced Amount (defined below).

                        (b)    For purposes of this subsection 10(b), the "Reduced Amount" shall be the amount, expressed as a present value, that maximizes the aggregate present value of the payments without causing any payment to be nondeductible by the Employer under section 280G of the Code and "Employer's Auditor" shall mean the independent auditors retained most recently prior to the transaction implicating section 280G of the Code by the Employer, or, if the Employer is not the surviving entity following the Change in Control, by the Employer's successor (or any affiliate). In computing the maximum amount payable, the Employer's Auditor shall take into account the independent value to the Employer of Davis' restrictive covenants following a Change of Control as set forth in Sections 11, 12 and 13 of this Agreement, which value should constitute separate consideration outside of sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. ).

                        (c)    If the amount of the aggregate payments to Davis must be reduced under this Section, then Davis shall direct in which order the payments are to be reduced, but no change in the timing of any payment shall be made without the consent of the Employer. As a result of uncertainty in the application of sections 280G and 4999 of the Code at the time of an initial determination by the Employer's Auditor, it is possible that a payment will have been made by the Employer that should not have been made (an "Overpayment") or that an additional payment that will not have been made by the Employer could have been made (an "Underpayment"). In the event that the Employer's Auditor, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Employer or Davis that the Employer's Auditor believes has a high probability of success, determines that an Overpayment has been made, such Overpayment shall be treated for all purposes as a bilateral error subject to adjustment which Davis shall repay to the Employer, together with interest at the applicable federal rate specified in section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. In the event that the Employer's Auditor determines that an Underpayment has occurred, such Underpayment shall promptly be paid or transferred by the Employer to, or for the benefit of, Davis, together with interest at the applicable federal rate specified in section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

               10.3    Conditional Receipt. Receipt of the Change in Control Benefit and the continued health and welfare benefits is conditioned on Davis not being in violation of any material term of this Agreement. If Umpqua deems that Davis is in violation of a material term of this Agreement, the Board may not withhold benefits under this Section unless the violation is not remedied or is not being remedied to the Board's reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days after written notice, including a description of the violation, has been delivered by the Board to Davis.

        11.    NONCOMPETITION. For the period of time in which Davis is entitled to payment of the Severance Benefit or Change in Control Benefit, Davis shall not engage in any activity as an officer, director, owner (except for an ownership of less than three percent (3%) of any publicly traded security), employee, consultant, or otherwise of a competing financial services company. For purposes of this Agreement, a "competing financial services company" shall mean a company a majority of whose revenues are derived from financial services also provided by Umpqua or its subsidiaries if (i) the company's executive offices are located within 50 miles of any office or branch of Umpqua or any of its subsidiaries within the states of Oregon, Washington or California at the time of termination, (ii)  Davis' office is located within the aforementioned 50 miles or (iii) the company derives over 10% of its revenues from geographic markets then served by Umpqua or any of its subsidiaries. If Davis breaches the prohibitions of this Section, as Umpqua's sole remedy, Davis shall forfeit his right to receive the unpaid portion of the Severance Benefit or Change in Control Benefit. No such forfeiture shall occur unless the violation is not remedied or is not being remedied to the Board's reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days after written notice including a description of the violation, has been delivered to Davis as provided herein.

        12.    NON-SOLICITATION. For a period of two years following termination, Davis shall not knowingly solicit any customer of Umpqua or of any of its subsidiaries for financial services of a type previously offered by Umpqua or any of Umpqua's subsidiaries. For purposes of this Section, "customers" are defined as (a) all customers serviced by Umpqua or any of Umpqua's subsidiaries at any time within 12 months before termination of Davis' employment, (b) all customers and potential customers whom Umpqua or any of Umpqua's subsidiaries actively solicited at any time within 12 months before termination of Davis' employment, and (c) all successors, owners, directors, partners and management personnel of the customers just described in (a) and (b).

        13.    NONRAIDING OF EMPLOYEES. Davis recognizes that Umpqua's workforce is a vital part of its business; therefore, for a period of two years following termination, Davis agrees not to directly or indirectly solicit any employee to leave his or her employment with Umpqua or any of Umpqua's subsidiaries. This prohibition includes (a) disclosing to any third party the names, backgrounds or qualifications of any Umpqua or any of Umpqua subsidiary's employees or otherwise identifying them as potential candidates for employment, or (b) Davis personally or through any other person approaching, recruiting, interviewing or otherwise soliciting employees of Umpqua or any of Umpqua's subsidiaries to work for any other employer. For purposes of this Section, employees include all employees working for Umpqua or any of Umpqua's subsidiaries at the time of termination of Davis' employment.

        14.    CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The parties acknowledge that in the course of Davis' duties, Davis will have access to and become familiar with certain Confidential Information (defined below). Davis acknowledges that the Confidential Information constitutes valuable, special, and unique assets of Umpqua's business, even though such information may not be of a technical nature and may not be protected under trade secret or related laws. Davis agrees to hold in a fiduciary capacity and not use for Davis' benefit, nor reveal, communicate, or divulge during the period of Davis' employment with Umpqua or at any time thereafter, and in any manner whatsoever, any Confidential Information to any person, firm, entity, or company other than Umpqua or persons, firms, entities, or companies designated by Umpqua. Davis agrees that all Confidential Information shall be Umpqua's property ("Umpqua Property"). Upon termination or at Umpqua's request, Davis shall promptly return all the Umpqua Property to Umpqua. Subject to the following sentence, "Confidential Information" includes, but is not limited to, ideas, designs, drawings, specifications, techniques, models, data, programs, codes, processes, know-how, customer lists, marketing plans, and financial and technical information. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, "Confidential Information" does not include, and Davis will not incur any liability to Umpqua resulting from any use or disclosure of information which: (a) at the time of disclosure was generally available to or known by the public (other than as a result of a disclosure made in violation of this Agreement) or (b) was, at or prior to the time of disclosure available to Davis on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Umpqua (provided that such source was not known by Davis to be bound by a confidential agreement with Umpqua or other contractual, legal or fiduciary duty of confidentiality to Umpqua). In the event that Davis is requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable law or by legal process (for example, by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process or by applicable statute, rule or regulation or by governmental regulatory authorities) to disclose any of Umpqua's Confidential Information, Davis will, to the extent permitted by law and as otherwise reasonably practicable, provide Umpqua with prompt prior written notice of such requirement so that Umpqua may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that Umpqua waives compliance with the provisions hereof, Davis will furnish only that portion of Umpqua's Confidential Information that, in the opinion of Davis' counsel, is legally required to be furnished, and Davis shall have no liability hereunder for furnishing such Confidential Information.

        15.    DISPUTE RESOLUTION. The parties agree to submit any dispute arising under this Agreement to final, binding, private arbitration in Portland, Oregon. This includes not only disputes about the meaning or performance of the Agreement, but disputes about its negotiation, drafting, or execution. The dispute will be determined by a single arbitrator in accordance with the then-existing rules of arbitration procedure of Multnomah County Circuit Court, except that there shall be no right of de novo review in court and the arbitrator may charge his or her standard arbitration fees rather than the fees prescribed in the Multnomah County Circuit Court arbitration procedures. The proceeding will be commenced by the filing of a civil complaint in Multnomah County Circuit Court and a simultaneous request for transfer to arbitration. The parties expressly agree that they may choose an arbitrator who is not on the list provided by the Multnomah County Circuit Court Arbitration Department, but if they are unable to agree upon the single arbitrator within ten days of receipt of the Arbitration Department list, they will ask the Arbitration Department to make the selection for them. The arbitrator will have full authority to determine all issues, including arbitrability, to award any remedy, including permanent injunctive relief, and to determine any request for costs and expenses in accordance with Section 17.9 of this Agreement. The arbitrator's award may be reduced to final judgment in Multnomah County Circuit Court. The complaining party shall bear the arbitration expenses and may seek their recovery if it prevails. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, an aggrieved party may seek a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in Multnomah County Circuit Court to preserve the status quo during the arbitration proceeding.

        16.    NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications provided for by this Agreement will be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient upon receipt, when delivered personally or by a nationally-recognized delivery service (such as Federal Express), or three (3) business days after being deposited in the U.S. mail as certified mail, return receipt requested, with postage prepaid, if such notice is addressed to the party to be notified at such party's address as set forth below or as subsequently modified by written notice.

        Section 2.2     Normal Retirement Benefits.  In the event Participant's employment is terminated on or after Participant has attained Retirement Age, then on the Normal Commencement Date, Participant shall be entitled to receive monthly payments of the Annual Retirement Benefit. Subject to Section 2.9 of this Plan, monthly payments of the Annual Retirement Benefit shall continue until Participant's death.

        Section 2.3     Benefits Upon Disability of Participant Prior to Retirement Age. If Participant's employment terminates by reason of a Disability, Participant shall be entitled to receive monthly payments commencing on the Normal Commencement Date determined by annuitizing the amount of the Account at the time of termination using the then life expectancy table published by the Internal Revenue Service and other appropriate assumptions determined by Umpqua's consulting actuaries reasonably acceptable to Participant. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the monthly payments shall continue until Participant's death. If Participant's employment is terminated due to a Disability prior to Participant reaching Retirement Age, notwithstanding the forgoing, Participant may elect to receive the Account amount prior to the Normal Commencement Date or for a fixed term of years if Participant, his conservator or his attorney in fact provide written notification to Umpqua of such election within 30 days from the date of Participant's termination. In such event, the monthly amount payable shall be adjusted as provided in Section 2.8.

        Section 2.4.     Benefits Upon Termination With Cause or by Participant Without Good Reason. If Participant is terminated for Cause, or Participant terminates employment without Good Reason, prior to Participant reaching Retirement Age, Participant shall be entitled to receive monthly payments commencing on the Normal Commencement Date determined by annuitizing the vested portion of the Account as set forth in the Vesting Schedule using the then life expectancy table published by the IRS and other appropriate assumptions determined by Umpqua's consulting actuaries reasonably acceptable to Participant. Subject to Section 2.9 of this Plan, the monthly payments shall continue until Participant's death.

        Section 2.5.     Benefits Upon Termination Without Cause or For Good Reason. If Participant's employment is terminated without Cause or Participant terminates employment for Good Reason prior to Participant reaching Retirement Age, Participant shall be entitled to receive monthly payments commencing on the Normal Commencement Date determined by annuitizing the vested portion of the Account as set forth in the Vesting Schedule using the then life expectancy table published by the Internal Revenue Service and other appropriate assumptions determined by Umpqua's consulting actuaries reasonably acceptable to Participant. Subject to Section 2.9 of this Plan, the monthly payments shall continue until Participant's death.

        Section 2.6.     Change in Control. If within two years of a Change of Control Participant's employment is terminated without Cause or Participant terminates his employment for any reason, Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount (subject to the provisions of Section 2.9 of this Plan) to be paid annually commencing on the Normal Commencement Date and continuing until his death, equal to three percent (3%) of Participant's Final Average Compensation multiplied by the Participant's total years of service at the date of termination with a credit for additional years of service equal to one half of the difference between 17 and the actual years of service on the date of termination, net of Offsetting Benefits. This annual retirement benefit shall be paid in monthly installments or on such other basis permitted herein.

     For illustrative purposes only, if Davis' employment terminated on June 1, 2006 after a Change of Control with a Final Average Compensation of $600,000, he would be entitle to a monthly payment of $21,750.00 for life commencing July 1, 2011 calculated as follows:

[(12< years of service > + 2.5 < 17 - 12 years of services 2 >) (.03 < 3% per year for each credited years of service >) ($600,000 <Final Average Compensation>) (12 < to calculate monthly payment >)] or [14.5 .03 $600,000 12] equals $21,750 per month.

        Section 2.7.     Election as to Time or Number of Payments. Participant may, by completing an election form and filing it with the Administrator within 30 days following the effective date of this Plan, or prior to any calendar year to be effective for subsequent calendar years, elect to receive the Annual Retirement Benefits or other payments hereunder on such terms as the Administrator may permit that does not increase the accrued costs to Umpqua.

        Section 2.8.     Adjustment to Monthly Payments. If Participant elects to receive any benefits accrued hereunder prior to Normal Commencement Date and/or over a fixed term, the amount of the monthly payments shall be determined by annuitizing the adjusted or vested portion of the Account using the then life expectancy table published by the Internal Revenue Service and other appropriate assumptions (or with respect to an Annual Retirement Benefit, by recalculating such monthly payments to reflect the fixed term of such payments), as determined by Umpqua's consulting actuaries reasonably acceptable to Participant.

        Section 2.9.     Minimum and Maximum Term of Life Payments. If Participant is receiving payments under this Plan until his death, Umpqua and Participant agree that such payments will cease in any event no later than 36 months after Participant's predicted life expectancy determined by Umpqua's consulting actuaries at the time of Participant's termination of employment, but, notwithstanding Participant's earlier death, such payments will continue to a date 36 months prior to such predicted life expectancy, with such payments made to Participant's beneficiary as designated in writing to the Administrator, or if no beneficiary is so designated, to Participant's estate. Participant's life expectancy shall be determined based upon the then most recently published life expectancy table by the Internal Revenue Services or other generally accepted reference source.

        Section 2.10.     Early Payment. Participant shall not be entitled to withdraw any portion of the balance in the Account except that, in cases of hardship caused by an unforeseeable emergency, the Administrator may (but is under no obligation to), after taking into account other resources reasonably available to Participant, authorize payment of so much of Participant's Account as is required to meet the need created by the unforeseeable emergency and consistent with the standards set forth in Rev Proc 92-65, 1992-2 CB 428, but in no event more than that portion of the Account to which he would have vested had he voluntarily terminated his employment at that time. In the event of any early payment, later benefits will be appropriately adjusted to reflect the early payment as determined by Umpqua's consulting actuaries reasonably acceptable to Participant.

        Section 2.11.     Withholding. Any payment or other distribution of benefits under this Plan may be reduced by any amount required to be withheld by Umpqua under any applicable law, rule, regulation, order or other requirement, now or hereafter in effect, of any governmental authority.

        Section 2.12.     Effect on Retirement Plans. Any amounts payable under this Plan shall be disregarded for the purpose of determining any accrued benefits of Participant under any Retirement Plan, except as required by law.

        Section 2.13.     Account. The Account established under this Plan is an unfunded plan of deferred compensation. Benefits and interest earned hereunder are represented solely by bookkeeping entries on records maintained by the Administrator. No funds are held in trust or otherwise segregated for the sole purpose of paying Plan benefits. All Plan benefits are payable solely from the general assets of Umpqua. The Umpqua may from time to time reserve assets in a general account or grantor trust owned by Umpqua for the purpose of paying liabilities that are accrued under this Plan. The Participant (and his successors) shall have no legal or equitable rights, interest or claims in any specific collateral, property or assets of Umpqua, but shall be general unsecured creditors of Umpqua until benefits are paid hereunder.

        Section 2.14.     Offset. Any amounts due to Participant hereunder may be applied by Umpqua to offset any amounts past due Umpqua from Participant, provided that such offset may only occur at such time and to the extent that benefit payments are due and payable.

        Section 2.15.     Claims Procedure.

The Option may only be exercised as to a whole number of shares of Common Stock.

     Provided however, in the event of a Change in Control as defined below, any unvested options shall become immediately exercisable in full. For this purpose, a "Change in Control" will be deemed to have occurred when any of the following events take place:

                (a)    Any person (including any individual or entity), or persons acting in concert, become(s) the beneficial owner of voting shares representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the Company;

                (b)    A majority of the Board is removed from office by a vote of the Company's shareholders over the recommendation of the Board then serving; or

                (c)    The Company is a party to a plan of merger or plan of exchange and upon consummation of such plan, the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the transaction do not continue to own at least a majority of the shares of the surviving organization.

     2.2     Effect of Unpaid Leaves of Absence. If at any time during the term of this Option, the Optionee is on unpaid leave from the Company or any Subsidiary, the Option may not be exercised during such unpaid leave and the dates contained in the foregoing vesting schedule shall be extended by the length of such unpaid leave.

     2.3     Expiration and Termination of Option. This Option will expire upon the close of business on the Expiration Date and may terminate earlier upon certain events as set forth in Section 4 of this Option. To the extent that this Option has not been exercised prior to the Expiration Date or any earlier termination, all further rights to purchase shares pursuant to this Option will cease and terminate at such time.

3.     Option Exercise Procedures.

     3.1     Who May Exercise the Option. Only the Optionee (or, in the case of exercise after death of the Optionee, by the executor, administrator, heir, or legatee of the Optionee, as the case may be) may exercise this Option.

     3.2     Notice of Exercise. A "Notice of Exercise" must be signed and delivered to the Company's corporate Secretary or such other person as the Company may designate at the principal business office of the Company. A copy of the Company's current form of Notice of Exercise is attached hereto. The Company, however, reserves the right to revise its form of Notice of Exercise from time-to-time as it determines to be appropriate. If, at the time of the exercise of this Option, the Company does not have an effective registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission that covers the issuance of shares upon the exercise of this Option, the Notice of Exercise will also contain certain representations from the Optionee as required under applicable state and federal securities laws. A copy of the then-current form of Notice of Exercise may be obtained at any time from the Company. A notice will only be effective if submitted on the form in effect at the time of such exercise.

     3.3     Payment of Exercise Price. The Notice of Exercise must indicate the manner of payment of the Exercise Price for the number of shares so purchased. Payment shall be made by cash, by the surrender to the Company for cancellation of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (provided that the surrendered shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company shall have been held by the Optionee for not less than six months) or any combination of the foregoing.

     3.4     Payment of Tax Withholding. The Optionee shall pay or make adequate provision for payment of Tax Withholding upon exercise of this Option. The notice of exercise shall indicate the method of payment of Tax Withholding, which may be accomplished by payment in cash, the Company withholding other amounts payable by the Company to the Optionee, by the application of shares to be received upon exercise of this Option, by the surrender of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (provided that the surrendered shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company shall have been held by the Optionee for not less than six months) or any combination of the foregoing.

Back to Exhibit Index

 

     3.5     Delivery of Shares Following Exercise. The Company will make delivery of the Option Shares purchased within a reasonable time after it receives the Notice of Exercise and payment in full of the Exercise Price of the Option Shares being purchased and the payment or adequate provision for payment of Tax Withholding. However, if any law or regulation requires the Company to take any action with respect to the issuance of the Option Shares, including, without limitation, actions that may be required for compliance with federal and state securities laws or the listing requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Company's Common Stock is then listed, then the date of delivery of such shares may be extended for the period necessary to take such action. The Optionee shall only become the holder of such shares when the issuance of the shares is reflected on the Company's stock transfer record.

4.     Termination and/or Acceleration of the Option Upon Certain Events

     4.1     Effect of the Death of the Optionee. If the Optionee dies while an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, this Option will terminate one year after the date of such death or, if sooner, upon the Expiration Date. In such event, this Option may be exercised only to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise this Option on the date of the Optionee's death and only by the person or persons to whom the Optionee's rights under this Option may pass by the Optionee's will or by the laws of descent and distribution of the state or country of the Optionee's domicile at the time of death.

     4.2     Effect of the Disability of the Optionee. If the Optionee's employment by the Company terminates as a result of the Optionee becoming Disabled (as defined in the Plan) while an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, this Option will terminate one year after the date of such termination of employment or, if sooner, upon the Expiration Date. In such event, this Option may be exercised only to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise this Option on the date of such termination.

     4.3     Effect of Termination of the Employment of the Optionee for Cause. If the Optionee's employment with the Company or any Subsidiary is terminated for "cause", as defined in the Plan, this Option will terminate on the effective date of the termination of Optionee's employment and shall no longer be exercisable as to any of the remaining Option Shares.

     4.4     Effect of Any Other Termination of the Employment of the Optionee. If the Optionee's employment with the Company or any Subsidiary terminates as a result of the Optionee's retirement or for any reason other than the reasons set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 of this Option, this Option will terminate thirty (30) days after the date of such termination of employment or, if sooner, upon the Expiration Date. In such event, this Option may be exercised only to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise this Option on the date of such termination. For purposes of this Option, the Optionee's employment with the Company or any Subsidiary shall be considered to have terminated if the Optionee for any reason becomes a "part-time" employee as such term is defined in the Company's then existing employment rules or guidelines.

5.     Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Optionee.

     5.1.     No Effect on Employment. The Optionee understands and agrees that nothing contained in this Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement will be construed to limit or restrict the rights of the Company to terminate the employment of the Optionee at any time, with or without cause, to change the duties of the Optionee or to increase or decrease the Optionee's compensation. Without limiting the foregoing, the Optionee understands and agrees that the vesting of shares under this Option is subject to and is conditioned upon the continued employment of the Optionee by the Company or a Subsidiary and that such employment can be terminated at any time by the Company or its Subsidiary.

     5.2.     Rights Prior to Exercise of This Option. The Optionee understands and agrees that the Optionee will have no rights as a shareholder in the Option Shares, including, without limitation, the right to vote or receive dividends, until the issuance of the shares is reflected in the Company's stock transfer records.

Back to Exhibit Index

 

     5.3.     Tax Implications. The Optionee understands that, under federal income tax laws as they currently exist, the exercise of this Option will result in ordinary income in the amount by which the Fair Market Value (as of the date of exercise) of the shares acquired upon exercise exceeds the Exercise Price.

     5.4     Underwriter's Lock-up. The Optionee by accepting this Option agrees that whenever the Company undertakes a firm underwritten public offering of its securities and if requested by the managing underwriter in such offering, the Optionee will enter into an agreement not to sell or dispose of any securities of the Company owned or controlled by the Optionee provided that such restriction will not extend beyond twelve (12) months from the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such offering.

     5.5     Disclosures. The Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and certain related information and represents that Optionee has fully reviewed the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option and has had opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Option. The Optionee represents and warrants that the Optionee is not relying upon any representations, agreements or understandings of or with the Company except for those set forth in this Option.

6. Miscellaneous Provisions

     6.1.     Binding Effect. This Option will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.

     6.2.     Notices. All notices to the Optionee or other persons then entitled to exercise this Option will be delivered at the address contained in the records of the Company or such other address as may be specified in writing by the Optionee or such other person. All notices to the Company will be delivered at its principal offices.

     6.3.     Governing Law and Interpretation. This Option will be governed by the laws of the State of Oregon as to all matters, including but not limited to matters of validity, construction, effect, and performance, without giving effect to rules of choice of law. This Option hereby incorporates by reference all of the provisions of the Plan and will in all respects be interpreted and construed in such manner as to effectuate the intent of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Option and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will prevail. All matters of interpretation of the Plan and this Option, including the applicable terms and conditions and the definitions of the words, will be determined in the sole and final discretion of the Committee or the Company's Board of Directors.

     6.4.     Attorney Fees. If any suit or action is instituted in connection with any controversy arising out of this Option or the enforcement of any right hereunder, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover, in addition to costs, such sums as the court may adjudge reasonable as attorney fees, including fees on any appeal.

EXHIBIT 99.1

RISK FACTORS

The following summarizes certain risks which management believes are specific to the Company's business. These should not be viewed as including all risks to the Company.

The integration of recently acquired banks may not be completed smoothly, which could result in loss of customers

In November 2002, we acquired Centennial Bancorp. At the time of the acquisition, its subsidiary, Centennial Bank, merged into our existing bank subsidiary under the name of "Umpqua Bank." Centennial Bank customers were accustomed to traditional bank branch facilities and services. Umpqua Bank has transformed itself from a traditional community bank into a community-oriented financial services retailer. In pursuing this strategy, we have remodeled many of the bank branches to resemble retail stores that include distinct physical areas or boutiques such as a "serious about service center," an "investment opportunity center" and "a computer café." Over a period of months following the merger, we intend to remodel and convert several of the Centennial Bank branches in a similar fashion. This conversion will involve significant expenses, disrupt banking activities during the remodeling period, and will present a new look and feel to the banking services and products being offered. There is a risk that some of the existing customers will not stay with Umpqua Bank during the remodeling period or after the conversion is completed. Further, there may be delays in completing the conversion, which could cause confusion and disruption in the business of those branches.

Umpqua is pursuing an aggressive growth strategy which may place heavy demands on its management resources.

Umpqua is a dynamic organization that is one of the fastest-growing community financial services organizations in the United States. We merged with VRB Bancorp in December 2000, increasing our assets from approximately $435 million to $785 million; acquired Linn-Benton Bank and merged with Independent Financial Network, Inc. in December 2001, to add approximately $550 million in assets; and merged with Centennial Bancorp in November 2002 to add approximately $800 million in assets. We continue to explore other merger and acquisition opportunities. We expect that a substantial amount of management's attention and effort will be directed at deriving the benefits and efficiencies expected from the merger. If we pursue our strategy too aggressively, or if factors beyond management's control divert attention away from our integration plans, management may become over-taxed and we might be unable to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits. Moreover, the combined Company is dependent on the e fforts of key personnel to achieve the synergies associated with our acquisitions. The loss of one or more of our key persons could have a material adverse effect upon our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits.

Involvement in non-bank businesses may involve new risks

We have a licensed retail broker-dealer subsidiary, Strand, Atkinson, Williams and York, Inc. The operation of commercial banking and retail brokerage under common ownership has only recently been permitted by federal law, and retail brokerage operations present special risks not previously borne by community banks. For example, the brokerage industry is subject to fluctuations in the stock market that may have a significant adverse impact on transaction fees, customer activity and investment portfolio gains and losses. Likewise, additional or modified regulations may affect our banking, investment banking and brokerage operations. A decline in fees and commissions or losses suffered in the investment portfolio could adversely affect the subsidiary's contribution to the income of the holding company, and might increase the subsidiary's capital needs. The risks associated with retail brokerage may not be supported by the income generated by those operations. As we continue to grow, we may acquire other financial services companies whose successful integration is not assured and may present additional management challenges and new risks to us.

The restructuring and integration costs of the recent mergers could exceed estimates; expected consolidation savings may not materialize.

This year, through June 30, we have incurred approximately $1.7 million in expenses relating to the Centennial Bancorp acquisition. Those expenses include additional system integration, store closing and remodeling, contract terminations, personnel expenses and disposal of duplicative equipment. Although we do not expect to incur significant additional merger-related costs, unanticipated costs and charges may arise. Additionally, the cost of remodeling the branches and training personnel could exceed estimates and might not result in increased banking activity, revenues or profits.

Further, we anticipate that as a result of the mergers, various cost savings will accrue to the combined organization by eliminating duplicate positions and outside services including accounting, regulatory compliance, marketing and data processing. There is a risk that we will not be able to realize the cost savings anticipated in the amount or within the time anticipated.

The majority of Umpqua Bank's assets are loans, which if not paid would result in losses to the company.

Umpqua Bank, like other lenders, is subject to credit risk, which is the risk of losing principal and/or interest due to borrowers' failure to repay loans in accordance with their terms. Although we have established underwriting and documentation criteria and most loans are secured by collateral, a downturn in the economy or the real estate market in our market areas or a rapid increase in interest rates could have a negative effect on collateral values and borrowers' ability to repay. To the extent loans are not serviced by borrowers, the loans are placed on non-accrual, thereby reducing interest income. To the extent loan charge-offs exceed expectations, additional amounts must be added to the allowance for credit losses, which reduces income.

Although management believes that our allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2003 is adequate, no assurance can be given that an additional provision for credit losses will not be required. See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - "Provision for Credit Losses" and "Allowance for Credit Losses."

A rapid change in interest rates could make it difficult to maintain our current interest income spread and could result in reduced earnings.

Our earnings are largely derived from net interest income, which is interest income and fees earned on loans and investments, less interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control of our management, including general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities. As interest rates change, net interest income is affected. With fixed rate assets (such as fixed rate loans) and liabilities (such as certificates of deposit), the effect on net interest income depends on the maturity of the asset or liability. Although we strive to minimize interest rate risk through asset/liability management policies, from time to time maturities are not balanced. For example, the rapid drop in short term interest rates during 2002 made it difficult to reduce interest expense as rapidly as interest income fell on loans contractually tied to prime rate. Any rapid increase in interest rates in th e future could result in interest expense increasing faster than interest income because of fixed rate loans and longer-term investments. Further, substantially higher interest rates generally reduce loan demand and may result in lower loan totals. An unanticipated rapid decrease or increase in interest rates could have an adverse effect on the spreads between the interest rates earned on assets and the rates of interest paid on liabilities, and therefore on the level of net interest income.

Umpqua's banking and brokerage operations are subject to extensive government regulations, which has increased and can be expected to become more burdensome, increase our costs and/or make us less competitive.

We and our subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulations under federal and state laws. These laws and regulations are intended primarily to protect customers, depositors and the deposit insurance fund, rather than shareholders. Umpqua Bank is a state chartered commercial bank subject to regulations and supervision by the Administrator of the Division of Finance and Corporate Securities of the State of Oregon, the Washington Department of Financial Institutions and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which insures bank deposits. We are subject to regulation and supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Federal and state regulations place banks at a competitive disadvantage compared to less regulated competitors such as finance companies, credit unions, mortgage banking companies and leasing companies. Although we have been able to compete effectively in our market area in the past, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to do so. Fu rther, future changes in federal and state banking regulations could adversely affect our operating results and ability to continue to compete effectively.
