NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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 & York, Inc. (Strand, Atkinson). 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 r eport 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 Sept. 30, Nine months ended Sept. 30, share amounts 2003 2002 2003 2002 Net Income $ 9,015 $ 6,010 $ 25,528 $ 15,253 Average outstanding shares 28,343,696 20,125,583 28,262,353 20,043,346 Basic earnings per share $ 0.32 $ 0.30 $ 0.90 $ 0.76 Common Stock Equivalents 359,192 273,213 359,802 260,210 Fully diluted shares 28,702,888 20,398,796 28,622,155 20,303,556 Fully diluted EPS $ 0.31 $ 0.29 $ 0.89 $ 0.75
(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.
7
Activity in the allowance for credit losses was as follows for the nine-month periods ending September 30:

Net charge-offs | (2,894) | (687) | ||
Ending Balance | $ | 25,312 | $ | 15,038 |
(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 September 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 September 30, 2003 included a weighted average constant prepayment rate ("CPR") of 16.8% and a discount rate of 9.3%.
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, excluding mortgage banking operations. 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 & York, Inc. The following table presents summary income statements and reconciliation to the Company's consolidated totals for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATIONTotal assets by segment have not changed materially since December 31, 2002.
At September 30, 2003, the Company had stock option plans that were 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 plans had exercise prices equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

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 were adopted for the Company's Trust Preferred subsidiaries for the quarter ending September 30, 2003. As permitted by the Interpretation, the Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this interpretation on its other variable interest entities. The final effective date of the interpretation is for reporting periods ending after December 31, 2003.
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 readily 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 67 percent of the Company's loan portfolio is secured by real estate and a significant depreciation in value of such real estate would cause management to increase the allowance for credit losses.
Estimates are used in the presentation of the investment securities portfolio and these estimates impact the presentation of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Many of the securities included in the securities portfolio are purchased at a premium or discount. The premiums or discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the security. For mortgage-related securities, including Collateralized Mortgage Obligations, ("CMOs"), the amortization or accretion is based on estimated lives of the securities. The lives of the securities can fluctuate based on the amount of prepayments received on the underlying collateral of the securities. The Company uses estimates for the lives of these mortgage-related securities based on information provided by third parties. The Company adjusts the rate of amortization or accretion regularly to reflect changes in the estimated lives of these securities.
11
Retained mortgage servicing rights are initially 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 September 30, 2003 the Company had approximately $160 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 September 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 1 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 $9.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, up $3.0 million, or 50% from the comparable period in the prior year. Diluted earnings per share improved to $0.31 for the third quarter of 2003, up from $0.29 for the same period in 2002. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.30% and 11.70%, respectively, for the quarter compared with 1.55% and 15.97%, respectively, in 2002.
For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2003, the Company earned $25.5 million compared with $15.3 million for the comparable period in 2002. Diluted earnings per share were $0.89 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared with $0.75 for the same period in 2002.
The Company reported merger-related expenses of $0.4 million for the third 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. In the third quarter of 2002, the Company did not record any merger related expenses.
12
For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2003 the Company reported merger-related expenses of $2.1 million compared with $1.5 million for the same period in 2002. The merger-related expenses in 2002 related to the Company's acquisition of Independent Financial Network and Linn-Benton Bank in December 2001.
At September 30, 2003 total loans and leases were $1.935 billion, up $157.2 million since December 31, 2002. Total deposits were $2.263 billion at September 30, 2003, up $159.4 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 September 30, 2003 the Company reported net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis of $29.3 million compared with $18.7 million for the same period in 2002 (Tables 1 and 2). The difference between net interest income on a GAAP basis and net interest income on a taxable equivalent 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 $247,000 and $360,000 for the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
The $10.6 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 $2.413 billion for the third quarter of 2003, a $1.007 billion increase over the third quarter of 2002. This growth was primarily due to the acquisition of Centennial supplemented by 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 $888.0 million on average compared with the prior year period while taxable securities increased $183.1 million over the same period. Overall, the yield on earning assets declined 0.94% for the third 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 0.91% for the third quarter of 2003 compared with the same period in 2002 while the yield on taxable securities declined 2.65% 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 and new investments made at lower rates. 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 were higher in the third quarter of 2003 compared with the third quarter of 2002 due to the lower mortgage interest rates. Accelerated premium amortization for the third quarter of 2003 totaled $382,000. Average noninterest earning assets increased $213.7 million in the third quarter of 2003 compared with the same quarter of 2002 due to intangibles and other assets associated with the Centennial acquisition.
13
Average interest bearing liabilities were $1.844 billion in the third quarter of 2003 compared with $1.074 billion in the third 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 1.47% during the third quarter of 2003 compared with 2.12% 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 $465.2 million to $915.7 million. As a result of the preceding changes, the spread decreased 0.29% and the margin declined 0.45% for the third quarter of 2003 compared with the third quarter of 2002.

Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $84.5 million for the first nine months of 2003 compared with $54.5 million for the same period in 2002 (Tables 3 and 4). The difference between net interest income on a GAAP basis and net interest income on a taxable equivalent 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 tax investment. 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 nine months of 2003 were $2.312 billion compared with $1.321 billion for the same period in 2002, a $991 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 $1.891 billion for the first nine months of 2003 compared with $1.059 billion for the same period in 2002. This growth was due to 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 nine months of 2003 averaged $372.0 million compared with $214.3 million for the comparable period in 2002. The yield on average earning assets declined for the first nine months of 2003 to 6.16% from 7.22% 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 inv estment securities was due to prepayments and calls of investment securities and new investments made at lower rates. 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 were higher in the first nine months of 2003 compared with the same period in 2002 due to the lower mortgage interest rates. Accelerated premium amortization for the nine months ending September 30, 2003 was $963,000. Average noninterest earning assets increased to $347.2 for the first nine months of 2003 compared with $139.8 million due to intangibles and other assets associated with the Centennial acquisition.
15
Average interest bearing liabilities were $1.793 billion for the first nine months of 2003 compared with $1.021 billion 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 nine months of 2003 to 1.64% compared with 2.21% 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 $866.2 million for the first nine months of 2003 compared with $440.3 million in 2002. Of this increase, $251.2 million was in noninterest bearing checking accounts. As a result of the preceding changes, the spread decreased 0.49% and the margin declined 0.62% for the ni ne months ended September 30, 2003 compared with 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 nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $1,050 and $3,475, respectively compared with $900 and $2,504, respectively for the comparable periods in 2002. Net charge-offs were $1,054 for the third quarter of 2003 and $2,894 for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2003. For the same periods in 2002, net charge-offs were $560 and $687, respectively. Nonperforming loans at September 30, 2003 were $13.4 million, down from $18.4 million at December 31, 2002. Changes in the balance of nonperforming loans were as follows:

The Company originated $218 million in residential mortgages during the third quarter of 2003 compared with $166 million in the third quarter of 2002. Brokerage fees, the third largest component of noninterest income, was $2.6 million compared with $2.3 million in the same period in 2002.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level considered by management to be adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. 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:
20
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 nine-month periods ended September 30:

Time deposits | 577,817 | 632,443 | ||
Total Deposits | $ | 2,263,211 | $ | 2,103,790 |
Term Debt
Term debt increased $47.8 million from year-end 2002 to $72.1 million at September 30, 2003. The increase was the result of a $50.0 million, one year term, borrowing to fund security purchases and meet liquidity requirements.
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 September 30, 2003 the Company had overnight investments of $32.9 million and available lines of credit of approximately $316 million with various financial institutions.
Capital Resources
Total shareholders' equity increased $23.8 million from year-end 2002 to $312.0 million at September 30, 2003. The increase was the result of earnings of $25.5 million, a $3.1 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income and $5.1 million from the exercise of stock options, offset by dividends paid of $3.4 million and stock repurchased of $0.4 million. At September 30, 2003 the Company's Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were approximately 9.79% and 10.89% 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.
22
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.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us that is required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures were last evaluated by management on October 22, 2003.
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation.
Part II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Because of the nature of our business, we are involved in legal proceedings in the regular course of business. At this time, we do not believe that there is pending litigation the unfavorable outcome of which would result in a material adverse change to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company was not aware of the occurrence of the Repurchase Event, the ninety-day period shall not begin to run until such time as the Company actually becomes aware of such occurrence. If the Company fails to exercise its repurchase right upon the occurrence of one Repurchase Event, this shall not bar or waive the Company's right to exercise its repurchase right in connection with any subsequent Repurchase Event.
4.2 Purchase Price and Payment. The Repurchase Price of the Grant Shares under this Section 4 is as specified on the first page of this Restricted Stock Agreement and shall be paid by the Company at the closing by check.

1. Terms of the Option.
1.1 Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Optionee the right, privilege, and option (the "Option") to purchase up to the number of shares of Common Stock indicated above (the "Option Shares") at the Exercise Price indicated above, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Option may only be exercised as to a whole number of shares of Common Stock.
1.2 Status of the Option as a Nonqualified Stock Option. It is intended by the Company that the Option will not qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
1.3 Limited Transferability of Option. The Option may be transferred by gift to Permitted Transferees. "Permitted Transferees" includes the Optionee's spouse, children or a trust for the exclusive benefit of any combination of the Optionee, the Optionee's spouse and the Optionee's children. A transfer to a Permitted Transfer will not be effective unless and until the Optionee and the transferee of the Option execute and deliver to the Company a Transfer/Assumption of Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement in the form requested by the Company. Notwithstanding any transfer of the Option, the Optionee shall remain liable to the Company for any income tax withholding amounts which the Bank is required to withhold at the time that the transferred Option is exercised. Other than as set forth above, the Option and the rights of the Optionee under this Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement may only be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution upon the death of Optionee.
1.4 Reservation of Shares. The Company agrees that at all times there will be reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Option such number of shares of its Common Stock as is required for such issuance.
2. Time of Exercise of Option.
2.1 When the Option Becomes Exercisable. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.2 below, the Option may only be exercised in accordance with the vesting schedule attached hereto (the "Vesting Schedule") and only to the extent not previously exercised. In the event of certain changes in the capital structure of the Company, the number of Option Shares vesting at any time as indicated in the Vesting Schedule may be adjusted as determined appropriate by the Committee.
2.2 Effect of Unpaid Leaves of Absence. Unless the Committee at the time of such leave determines otherwise, if at any time during the term of the 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 Vesting Schedule shall be extended by the length of such unpaid leave.
2.3 Expiration and Termination of Option. The 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 Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement. To the extent that the Option has not been exercised prior to the Expiration Date or any earlier termination, all further rights to purchase shares pursuant to the 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) or the Permitted Transferee may exercise the 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 Company's 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 the 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 the 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, based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, (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), such other valid consideration as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit 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 the 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 the Option based on Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, the surrender of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (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.
3.5 Delivery of Shares Following Exercise. The Company will make delivery of a certificate representing the Option Shares purchased within a reasonable time after it receives the Notice of Exercise, 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 certificate 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, except that if the Option is exercise d conditioned on the occurrence of a Change of Control Transaction, as provided for in Section 5.3 below, the Optionee shall be deemed a holder of such shares as of the effective date of the Change of Control Transaction.
4. Termination of the Option
4.1 Effect of the Death of the Optionee. If the Optionee dies while an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, the Option will terminate one year after the date of such death or, if sooner, upon the Expiration Date. In such event, the Option may be exercised only to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option on the date of the Optionee's death and only by a Permitted Transferee or the person or persons to whom the Optionee's rights under the 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 or any Subsidiary terminates as a result of the Optionee becoming Disabled (as defined in the Plan) while an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, the Option will terminate one year after the date of such termination of employment or, if sooner, upon the Expiration Date. In such event, the Option may be exercised only to the extent the Optionee or Permitted Transferee was entitled to exercise the 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," the Option will terminate on the effective date of the termination of the Optionee's employment and shall no longer be exercisable as to any of the remaining Option Shares. "Cause" shall have the definition given in the Optionee's employment, severance, or change in control agreement, if any, or if the Optionee has no such agreement, "cause" shall be determined by the Company's President or Board of Directors in their reasonable discretion.
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 for any reason other than the reasons set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 of this Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement, the Option will terminate thirty (30) days after the date of such termination of employment or, if sooner, upon the Expiration Date. In such event, the Option may be exercised only to the extent the Optionee or Permitted Transferee was entitled to exercise the Option on the date of such termination.
4.5 Effect of Change of Control Transaction. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, the Option may terminate upon the earlier occurrence of a Change of Control Transaction as provided in Section 5.5 below.
5. Effect of Change of Control Transaction
5.1 Notice of Change of Control Transaction. The Company will provide the Optionee with written notice of any Change of Control Transaction and will undertake reasonable efforts to provide such notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the Change of Control Transaction. Such notice shall generally describe the expected Change of Control Transaction and the anticipated effects of the transaction on the Optionee's rights under this Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement.
5.2 Accelerated Vesting. Accelerated vesting upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Transaction, if any, shall be as set forth in the Vesting Schedule.
5.3 Conditional Exercise and Deferred Payment. In anticipation of a Change of Control Transaction, the Optionee shall be permitted to tender a notice of exercise of the Option that is conditioned on the Change of Control Transaction actually occurring and the Optionee shall not be required to tender payment of the exercise price or amounts that the Company may be required to withhold for tax purposes until after the occurrence of the Change of Control Transaction.
5.4 Effect on Option Shares and Exercise Price. Following the occurrence of any Change of Control Transaction, the Option shall be exercisable for the number and kind of shares, other securities, debt instruments, cash or other property for which the Option Shares would have been exchanged if they had been outstanding at the time of the Change of Control Transaction. In addition, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted such that the aggregate exercise price following such Change of Control Transaction shall be equal to the product of the Exercise Price per Share prior to the Change of Control Transaction multiplied by the number of Option Shares that could be purchased under the Option at such time without regard to the Vesting Schedule. The determination of the Committee as to what, if any, adjustments need to be made to the Option Shares and the Exercise Price and the extent thereof will be final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Optionee.
5.5 Termination. The Option shall terminate effective as of the effective date of a Change of Control Transaction, unless the terms and conditions of the Change of Control Transaction provide for the assumption of the Plan and the continuation of this Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement. Alternatively, the terms and conditions of the Change of Control Transaction may provide for the issuance to the Optionee by the Company's successor of a substitute option granted under a plan adopted by such successor and, subject to Sections 5.2 and 5.4 above, containing terms and conditions substantially equivalent to the terms and conditions of the Option.
6. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Optionee.
6.1. No Effect on Employment. The Optionee understands and agrees that nothing contained in this Nonqualified 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 Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement 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 prior to some or all of the Option Shares vesting. In the event of any such termination, the Optionee understands and agrees that the Optionee shall have not right or claim, under contract, under any other legal principle or under any equitable principle to any portion of the unvested Option Shares.
6.2 Rights Prior to Exercise of the 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.
6.3 Tax Implications. The Optionee understands that, under federal, state and local income tax laws as they currently exist, the exercise of the Option will result in ordinary income to the Optionee 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.
6.4 Underwriter's Lock-up. The Optionee by accepting the 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.
6.5 Disclosures. The Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and certain related information and represents that the Optionee has fully reviewed the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement and has had opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement. 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 Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement.
7. Miscellaneous Provisions
7.1 Binding Effect. This Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.
7.2
Notices. All notices or other communications pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given if personally delivered or if mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, prepaid and addressed to the address of the party as set forth in this Agreement or such other address as such party shall have furnished to the other party in writing.7.3 Governing Law and Interpretation.

This includes not only disputes about the meaning or performance of the Nonqualified Stock Option 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, Oregon Circuit Court, except that there shall be no right of de novo review in Circuit 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 o n 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.

12. EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PLAN.
12.1 In General. Those provisions of the Agreement (including this Section 12) related to the Severance Benefit set forth in Section 9 and Change in Control Benefit set forth in Section 10 constitute part of the terms of the Umpqua Holdings Corporation Executive Severance Plan (the "Executive Severance Plan") with respect to the Officer, and such terms and the general terms of the Executive Severance Plan established by Umpqua shall comprise the entirety of the Executive Severance Plan as it applies to the Officer. Umpqua intends for the Plan to be considered a welfare benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"), and a plan which is unfunded and maintained by the Umpqua solely for the purpose of providing benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of ERISA Regulation Section 2520.104-24. A copy of the Executive Severance Plan will be furnished to the Officer upon request.
12.2 Administration of Executive Severance Plan. Umpqua's Chief Executive Officer and Human Resources Director are each plan administrators (the "Plan Administrator") of the Executive Severance Plan and the Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to administer and construe the terms of the Executive Severance Plan, including the authority to decide if Officer is entitled to the Severance Benefit or Change in Control Benefit and the authority to determine if there is Termination for Cause or Termination for Good Reason.
12.3 Claims Procedures. The Officer may file a claim for a payment under the Executive Severance Plan by filing a written request for such a payment with the Plan Administrator. If the Plan Administrator prescribes a form for such a claim, the claim must be filed on such form. The claim should be sent to the attention of the Plan Administrator of the Executive Severance Plan at the address set forth for Umpqua in Section 19.
If the Plan Administrator denies the claim, in whole or in part, the Plan Administrator shall notify the Officer within 90 days of the Plan Administrator's receipt of the claim, unless the Plan Administrator determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. If the Plan Administrator determines that an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Officer prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period. Such extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to issue a determination with respect to the claim. The period of the extension will not exceed 90 days beyond the termination of the original 90-day period. If the Plan Administrator does not provide written notice, the Officer may deem the claim denied and seek review according to the appeals procedures set forth below.
The notice of denial of the Officer's claim shall state:
(a) the specific reasons for the denial,
(b) specific references to pertinent provisions of the Executive Severance Plan on which the denial was based,
(c) a description of any additional material or information needed for the Officer to perfect his or her claim and an explanation of why the material or information is needed, and
(d) a statement (1) that the Officer may request a review upon written application to the Plan Administrator, review or receive (free of charge) pertinent Plan documents and records, and submit issues and comments in writing, (2) that any appeal that the Officer wishes to make of the adverse determination must be in writing to the Plan Administrator within sixty (60) days after the Officer receives notice of denial of benefits, and (3) that the Officer may bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a) following an adverse benefit determination upon review.
The notice of denial of benefits shall specify that the Officer must forward any appeal to the Plan Administrator at the address provided in such notice. The notice may state that failure to appeal the action to the Plan Administrator in writing within the sixty (60) day period will render the determination final, binding and conclusive.
If the Officer appeals to the Plan Administrator, the Officer may submit in writing whatever issues and comments he or she believes to be pertinent. The Plan Administrator shall reexamine all facts related to the appeal and make a final determination about whether the denial of benefits is justified under the circumstances. The Plan Administrator shall advise the Officer in writing of:
(a) its decision on appeal,
(b) the specific reasons for the decision,
(c) the specific provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based, and
(d) the Officer's right to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all relevant documents and records.
Notice of the Plan Administrator's decision shall be given within sixty (60) days of the Officer's written request for review, unless additional time is required due to special circumstances. In no event shall the Plan Administrator render a decision on an appeal later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receiving a request for a review. If the Plan Administrator fails to provide a decision with respect to the Officer's appeal within the 60 (or, if applicable, 120) day period the Officer may deem his or her appeal denied and may pursue the arbitration remedy set forth below.
In the event that the Officer fails to pursue his or her administrative remedies as set forth above within the specified periods, he shall have no further right to the benefits subject to his or her claim and agrees by executing this Agreement that he or she shall have no right to pursue such claim in arbitration or in a court of law.
For purposes of this Claims Procedure under the Executive Severance Plan, the Officer may act through a representative authorized in writing to act on his behalf, provided that such authorization is furnished to the Plan Administrator.
In the event that Umpqua denies the Officer's appeal of the denial of his or her claim, in whole or in part, Umpqua and the Officer's may agree to submit the Plan Administrator's decision to binding arbitration in lieu of the Officer's right to pursue his claim in any court of law.
13. NONCOMPETITION. For the period of time in which Officer is entitled to payment of the Severance Benefit, Change in Control Benefit, or Retention Bonus, Officer 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 financial services company with an office or doing business within 50 miles of any office or branch of Umpqua or of any of its subsidiaries in existence at the time of termination. If Officer breaches the prohibitions of this Section 13, as Umpqua's sole remedy, Officer shall forfeit Officer's right to receive the unpaid portion of the Severance Benefit, Change in Control Benefit or Retention Bonus.
14. NON-SOLICITATION. For a period of two years following termination of employment, Officer shall not solicit any customer of Umpqua or of any of its subsidiaries.

15. NONRAIDING OF EMPLOYEES. Officer recognizes that Umpqua's workforce is a vital part of its business; therefore, Officer agrees that for a period of two years following termination of employment, Officer will not to directly or indirectly solicit any employee to leave his or her employment with Umpqua or any of Umpqua's subsidiaries. This includes that Officer will not (a) disclose to any third party the names, backgrounds or qualifications of any Umpqua or any of Umpqua subsidiary's employees or otherwise identify them as potential candidates for employment, or (b) personally or through any other person approach, recruit, interview or otherwise solicit employees of Umpqua or any of Umpqua's subsidiaries to work for any other employer. For purposes of this Section 15, employees include all employees working for Umpqua or any of Umpqua's subsidiaries at the time of termination of Officer's employment.
16. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The parties acknowledge that in the course of Officer's duties, Officer will have access to and become familiar with certain proprietary and confidential information of Umpqua and its subsidiaries not known by its actual or potential competitors. Officer acknowledges that such 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. Officer agrees to hold in a fiduciary capacity and not use for Officer's benefit, nor reveal, communicate, or divulge during the period of Officer's employment with Umpqua or at any time thereafter, and in any manner whatsoever, any such data and confidential information of any kind, nature, or description concerning any matters affecting or relating to Umpqua's business, its customers, or its services, including information developed by Employee, alone or with others, or entrusted to Umpqua by its customers or others, to any person, firm, entity, or company other than Umpqua or persons, firms, entities, or companies designated by Umpqua. Officer agrees that all memoranda, notes, records, papers, customer files, and other documents, and all copies thereof relating to Umpqua's operations or business, or matters related to any of Umpqua's customers, some of which may be prepared by Officer, and all objects associated therewith in any way obtained by Officer, shall be Umpqua's property ("Umpqua Property"). Upon termination or at Umpqua's request, Officer shall promptly return all the Umpqua Property to Umpqua.
17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Except where such matters are deemed governed by ERISA and are the subject to Section 12 above, 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, Oregon Circuit Court, except that there shall be no right of de novo review in Circuit 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 19.9 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.

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 cafe." Since the merger, we remodeled and converted two of the Centennial Bank branches in a similar fashion and we will remodel and convert two or three more over the coming year. 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 past and future mergers. We have announced our intent to open seven new stores in 2004, to continue our growth strategy. 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 efforts 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 & 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 co ntinue 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
This year, through September 30, we have incurred approximately $2.1 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.
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 September 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. More recently, th e rapid increase in long term home mortgage interest rates caused a reduction in refinance activity and the sale of some previously "locked" loans at a loss. Any rapid increase in interest rates in the 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. Further, future changes in federal and state banking regulations could adversely affect our operating results and ability to continue to compete effectively.
