REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees
Umpqua Bank 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Umpqua Bank 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplemental information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

UMPQUA BANK 401(k) AND PROFIT SHARING PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following description of the Umpqua Bank 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan Agreement, as amended, for a more complete description of Plan provisions.

General – The Plan is a 401(k) salary deferral and profit sharing plan covering substantially all employees of Umpqua Holdings Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Company), and is subject to provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). The Company is the Plan’s sponsor and serves as plan administrator.

Eligibility – Employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan upon reaching age 18 and after completing one hour of service.

Contributions – Participants may elect to contribute 100% of eligible compensation to the Plan each year. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. The Plan includes a discretionary Company contribution match of up to 6% of the employee’s contribution. The Company makes a discretionary profiting sharing contribution to be allocated to all eligible employees based on the percentage of each employee’s eligible compensation to total eligible compensation. The profit sharing contribution is based on the Company’s performance, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and is allocated to eligible employees once per year. During the year ended December 31, 2006, 50% of the matching and profit sharing contributions were used to purchase Umpqua Holdings Corporation stock with the remaining 50% allocated as directed by the participants. Funding for the 2006 contributions was made during 2007. Thus, the Stock Fund is a nonparticipant directed fund. Participants can immediately transfer their balance in the Stock Fund into the other investment options offered by the Plan. In October 2006, the Board elected to discontinue funding employer match and profit sharing contributions with Company stock. Starting in the year ended December 31, 2007, all employer contributions are funded with cash.

Contributions are subject to regulatory limitations.

Participant accounts – Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contribution and (b) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. Participants may direct the investment of their account balances into various investment options offered by the Plan. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Vesting – Participants are fully vested at all times in that portion of their accounts attributable to their own contributions and earnings or losses thereon. A participant vests in the Company’s matching and profit sharing contributions and earnings or losses thereon pursuant to the following vesting schedule.

         Years of Service    Percentage      

 
Less than 1 year    0% 
1 year but less than 2    20% 
2 years but less than 3    40% 
3 years but less than 4    60% 
4 years but less than 5    80% 
5 years or more    100%

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF PLAN – (continued)

Participant loans – Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to 50% of participants’ vested accounts, but not in excess of $50,000. Loans are secured by the balance of the participant’s account and bear fixed, reasonable rates of interest, as determined by the plan administrator. The maximum loan term is five years unless the loan term qualifies as a home loan. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. As of December 31, 2007, the rates of interest on outstanding loans ranged from 4.25% to 9.50% with various maturities.

Payment of benefits – On termination of service due to death, disability, or retirement, a participant may elect to receive a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant’s account balance. For termination of service for other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution.

Forfeitures – Forfeitures are the nonvested portion of a participant’s account that are lost upon termination of employment. Forfeitures are retained in the Plan and will be used to reduce future Company contributions. During 2007, $139,850 in forfeitures was used to reduce employer contributions. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $307,690 and $139,850.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting – The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting.

Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment valuation and income recognition – Investments are stated at fair value as determined by the Plan’s trustee, Reliance Trust Company. The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Quoted market prices are used to value investments. Shares of registered investment company funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Loans to participants are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

Payment of benefits – Benefits are recorded when paid.

Expenses – Administrative expenses are paid by the Company such as legal and accounting fees. Transaction fees and investment management fees are paid by the Plan

No provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

NOTE 5 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
