INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
First National Lincoln Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated financial information of
First National Lincoln Corporation and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2003 and 2002,
and for the three- and six-month periods then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is to express an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - STOCK OPTIONS

First National Lincoln Corporation (the Company) established a stock option
plan in 1995. Under the plan, the Company may grant options to its employees
for up to 200,000 shares of common stock. Only incentive stock options may be
granted under the plan. The option price of each option grant is determined by
the Options Committee of the Board of Directors, and in no instance shall be
less than the fair market value on the date of the grant. An option's maximum
term is ten years from the date of grant.
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.25 and related
interpretations in accounting for the stock option plan. Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized. 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.

No options were granted in 2003. The fair market value of options granted
in 2002, net of tax, was $60,000, with a weighted average fair market value of
options granted of $8.32. The fair market value is estimated using the Black-
Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: quarterly dividends
of $0.22, risk-free interest rate of 1.59%, volatility of 37.73%, and an
expected life of 10 years.

treasury method, assuming that all granted options were exercisable at the end
of each period.

Financial and standby letters of credit are included in the scope of FIN
45, while commercial letters of credit are not. A guarantor of financial and
standby letters of credit is required to recognize, at the inception of a
guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in
issuing the guarantee.
This Interpretation contains disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its
interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain
guarantees that it has issued. This interpretation does not have a material
effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In 2003, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." The Statement amends and clarifies accounting for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities under Statement 133.
The amendment requires contracts with comparable characteristics be
accounted for similarly. This Statement clarifies under what circumstances a
contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a
derivative as discussed in Statement 133. In addition, it clarifies when a
derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in
the statement of cash flows and amends certain other existing pronouncements.
SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June
30, 2003, except as stated below and for hedging relationships designated after
June 30, 2003. The guidance should be applied prospectively.
The provisions of this Statement that relate to Statement 133
Implementation Issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began
prior to June 15, 2003, should continue to be applied in accordance with their
respective effective dates. In addition, certain provisions relating to forward
purchases or sales of when-issued securities or other securities that do not
yet exist, should be applied to existing contracts as well as new contracts
entered into after June 30, 2003. SFAS No. 149 does not affect the Company's
consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In May 2003, FASB issued Statement 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).
The requirements of this Statement apply to issuers' classification and
measurement of freestanding financial instruments, including those that
comprise more than one option or forward contract.
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. It is to be implemented
by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for
financial instruments created before the issuance date of the Statement and
still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption.
This Statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management's discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition is
based on the consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The
preparation of such financial statements requires Management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. On an ongoing basis, Management evaluates its estimates, including
those related to the allowance for loan losses. Management bases its estimates
on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis in
making judgments about the carrying values of assets that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from the amount
derived from Management's estimates and assumptions under different assumptions
or conditions.
Management believes the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting
policy that requires the most significant estimates and assumptions used in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The allowance for loan
losses is based on Management's evaluation of the level of the allowance
required in relation to the estimated loss exposure in the loan portfolio.
Management believes the allowance for loan losses is a significant estimate and
therefore regularly evaluates it for adequacy by taking into consideration
factors such as prior loan loss experience, the character and size of the loan
portfolio, business and economic conditions and Management's estimation of
potential losses. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce
different provisions for loan losses.

EARNINGS SUMMARY

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $3,408,000, an increase
of 9.3% over net income of $3,119,000 in the comparable period of 2002.
Increased non-interest income coupled with controlled operating expenses
were the primary factors in the Company's increased earnings. While assets
grew, interest margins decreased, resulting in a decrease in net interest
income of $225,000 or 2.7% for the six-month period when compared to the first
six months of 2002. Between December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003, the loan and
investment portfolios increased by a combined $42.1 million, which Management
views as an excellent rate of growth.
Fully diluted earnings per share for the first six months of 2003 were
$1.37, an 8.7% increase over the $1.26 reported for the first six months of
2002.
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $1,729,000, an
increase of 5.0% over net income of $1,646,000 in the comparable period of
2002.
Increased non-interest income coupled with controlled operating expenses
were again the primary factors in the Company's increased earnings. While
assets grew, interest margins decreased, resulting in a decrease in net
interest income of $162,000 or 3.7% for the three-month period. This decrease
was more than offset by a $193,000 increase in non-interest income -- led by
income from strong mortgage origination volume.
Fully diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2003 were
$0.70, a 6.1% increase over the $0.66 reported for the second quarter of 2002.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED

NET INTEREST INCOME

Total interest income of $13,672,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 is
a 6.1% decrease from total interest income of $14,557,000 in the comparable
period of 2002. Total interest expense of $5,408,000 for the first six months
of 2003 is a 10.9% decrease from total interest expense of $6,068,000 for the
first six months of 2002. The decreases in both interest income and interest
expense were due to significantly lower interest rates resulting from current
economic conditions, despite significantly higher balances for both assets and
liabilities. At the same time, the low interest rate climate brought on by
recent Federal Reserve Board actions resulted in a high level of residential
mortgage refinance activity during the period, during which the Bank sold an
increased amount of its secondary-market-qualifying mortgage production. This,
along with above-average growth in core deposits, resulted in high levels of
liquidity, which were in turn invested in low-rate overnight deposits causing
compression of the net interest margin.
The combination of lower interest rates and sale of mortgage loans resulted
in net interest income of $8,264,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a
2.7% decline from the $8,489,000 reported for the same period in 2002. This was
more than compensated for by income recognized from the sale of mortgage loans,
which was recorded in non-interest income.
Total interest income of $6,804,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2003 is an 8.1% decrease from total interest income of $7,403,000 in the
comparable period of 2002. Total interest expense of $2,640,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2003, is a 14.2% decrease from total interest expense of
$3,077,000 for the second quarter of 2002. The decreases in both interest
income and interest expense for the second quarter of 2003 occurred for the
same reasons cited for the first six months of 2003. The combination of lower
interest rates and sale of mortgage loans resulted in net interest income of
$4,164,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, a 3.7% decline from the
$4,326,000 reported for the same period in 2002. This, again, was more than
compensated for by income recognized from the sale of mortgage loans, which was
recorded in non-interest income.
The Company's net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis decreased from
4.20% in the first six months of 2002 to 3.65% in the first six months of 2003,
and from 4.16% in the second quarter of 2002 to 3.63% in the second quarter of
2003. Tax equivalency is calculated using a 35% effective tax rate.
The following table presents the effect of tax-exempt income on the
calculation of the net interest margin:

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

A $450,000 provision to the allowance for loan losses was made during the first
six months of 2003, a $240,000 decrease from the $690,000 provision made for
the same period of 2002. While commercial loan growth has been substantial in
the first six months of 2003, the lower level of provision in 2003 was the
result of several factors, including lower levels of past-due loans and lower
levels of net charge-offs. The Company's net loss ratio on loans for the first
six months of 2003 was 0.04% in comparison to 0.07% for the first six months of
2002. In additon, the deterioration of one large credit due to weakness in the
commercial fishing industry led to a higher level of provision for the first
six months of 2002.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income was $2,433,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an
increase of 25.7% from the $1,935,000 reported for the first six months of
2002. The increase in other operating income was due primarily to mortgage
origination and servicing income and higher merchant credit card processing
income. Demand for residential mortgages was strong in the first six months of
2003. The Bank sold $34.2 million of residential loans in the first six months
of 2003 compared to $13.2 million in the first six months of 2002. This
resulted in increased gains on sales of loans. In addition, the balances of
loans serviced for others increased by $13.4 million during the period.
Non-interest income was $1,210,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2003, an increase of 19.0% over the $1,017,000 reported for the three months
ended June 30, 2002. The increase in non-interest income was due primarily to
mortgage origination and servicing income. There were also increases in
merchant credit card processing income and service charge income on deposit
accounts.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense of $5,515,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, is
an increase of 3.5% from non-interest expense of $5,328,000 for the first six
months of 2002. This increase has been primarily due to higher personnel costs
related to the strong asset and income growth experienced by the Company, as
well as higher health care insurance premiums. In addition, there were
increases in merchant credit card processing costs which were offset by an
increase in merchant credit card processing income. Included in 2002's other
operating expense was a $75,000 one-time expense representing the write-down of
a repossessed asset.
Non-interest expense of $2,757,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2003, is an increase of 1.8% over non-interest expense of $2,709,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2002. This increase has been primarily due to
higher personnel costs related to the strong asset and income growth
experienced by the Company, as well as higher health care insurance premiums.
In addition, there were increases in merchant credit card processing costs
which were offset by an increase in merchant credit card processing income.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes on operating earnings increased to $1,324,000 for the first six
months of 2003 from $1,287,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase is
in line with the increase in pre-tax income.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED

INVESTMENTS

The Company's investment portfolio increased by $6.2 million or 5.1% between
December 31, 2002, and June 30, 2003. A portion of the portfolio consists of
callable securities, some of which were called by issuers and replaced at lower
yields. At June 30, 2003, the Company's available-for-sale portfolio had an
unrealized gain, net of taxes, of $2.9 million, which is in line with the
interest rate climate seen in the first six months of 2003.

LOANS

Loans grew by $35.8 million or 10.8% during the first six months of 2003. The
growth in commercial loans was $17.4 million or 14.6% and municipal loans
increased $2.3 million or 24.6%. The residential mortgage portfolio increased
by $6.0 million or 4.2% and home equity lines of credit grew $12.0 million or
39.0% -- the result of competitive product pricing and marketing.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses represents the amount available for credit losses
inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. Loans are charged off when they are
deemed uncollectible, after giving consideration to factors such as the
customer's financial condition, underlying collateral and guarantees, as well
as general and industry economic conditions.
In general, the Company determines the appropriate overall reserve for
loan losses based upon periodic, systematic reviews of its portfolio to
identify inherent losses and Management's judgment about various qualitative
factors. These reviews result in the identification and quantification of loss
factors, which are used in determining the amount of the allowance for loan
losses. The Company periodically evaluates prevailing economic and business
conditions, industry concentrations, changes in the size and characteristics of
the portfolio and other pertinent factors. Portions of the allowance for loan
losses are quantified to cover the estimated losses inherent in each loan
category based on the results of this detailed review process.
Commercial loans are individually reviewed and assigned a credit risk
rating from "1" (low risk of loss) to "8" (high risk of loss). For non-impaired
loans with a credit risk rating of "1" to "7", estimated loss factors based on
historical loss experience (ranging from two to five years) are used to
calculate a loan loss reserve for each credit risk rating classification.
Qualitative adjustments are also made based upon Management's assessment of
prevailing economic conditions, trends in volumes and terms of loans, levels
and trends in delinquencies and non-accruals, and the effect of changes in
lending policies. A specific allocation is made for impaired loans (loans on
non-accrual status, as well as loans with a credit risk rating of "8"), which
are measured at the net present value of future cash flows, discounted at the
loan's effective interest rate, or at fair market value of collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent. The combination of these analyses is the basis
for the determination of the commercial loan portion of the allowance for loan
losses.
Consumer loans, which include credit cards, residential mortgages, home
equity loans/lines, and direct/indirect loans, are generally evaluated as a
group based on product type. The determination of the consumer loan portion of
the allowance for loan losses is based on a five-year average of annual
historical losses, adjusted for the qualitative factors noted above.

Page 20
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED

The results of all analyses are reviewed and discussed by the Directors'
Loan Committee. An integral component of the Company's risk management process
is to ensure the proper quantification of the reserve for loan losses based
upon an analysis of risk characteristics, demonstrated losses, loan
segmentations, and other factors. Reserve methodology is reviewed on a periodic
basis and modified as appropriate. The unallocated component of the allowance
for loan losses represents Management's view that, given the complexities of
the loan portfolio, there are estimable losses that have been incurred within
the portfolio but not yet specifically identified.
Based on this analysis, including the aforementioned assumptions, the
Company believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate as of June 30,
2003. As of that date, the balance of $3,987,000 was 1.08% of total loans,
compared to 1.11% at December 31, 2002 and 1.07% at June 30, 2002. Loans
considered to be impaired according to SFAS 114/118 totalled $1,109,000 at June
30, 2003, compared to $1,070,000 at December 31, 2002. The portion of the
allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired loans at June 30, 2003, was
$239,000 compared to $297,000 at December 31, 2002.

DEPOSITS

During the first six months of 2003, deposits increased by $24.8 million or
7.4% over December 31, 2002. Core deposits (demand, NOW, savings and money
market accounts) grew by $15.5 million or 7.3% in the first six months of 2003.
During the same period, certificates of deposit increased $9.3 million as a
result of restructuring the liability side of the Company's balance sheets.
As of June 30, 2003, deposits grew year-over-year by 16.5%, or $50.7
million. Demand deposits grew $2.9 million, NOW accounts $6.2 million, savings
$13.7 million, money market accounts $24.6 million and certificates of deposit
by $3.3 million. The increase in deposit balances is the result of generating
addition deposit funding in the Bank's primary market area.

BORROWED FUNDS

The Company's funding includes borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, the
Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, and repurchase agreements. The Company utilizes
borrowings as an additional source of funding for both loans and investments,
enabling it to grow its balance sheet and, in turn, grow its revenues. They may
also be used to carry out interest rate risk management stategies, and are
increased as other sources of funding decrease, including core deposits and
certificates of deposit. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, borrowed
funds increased by $8.6 million or 7.6% from December 31, 2002.
Between June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2003, core deposits grew substantially,
meeting the Bank's liquidity needs created by the growth in the loan and
investment portfolios. Borrowed funds decreased $4.8 million or 3.8% during
this period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders' equity as of June 30, 2003 was $45,602,000, compared to
$42,695,000 as of December 31, 2002. The Company's strong earnings performance
in the first six months months of 2003 provided a significant addition to
retained earnings and was accompanied by an increase in the net unrealized gain
on available-for-sale securities, as required under SFAS 115.
During 2002, the Company increased its dividend each quarter to end the
year at a quarterly dividend rate of 26 cents per share. In 2003, a cash
dividend of 27 cents per share was declared in the first quarter of 2003
compared to 23 cents in the first quarter of 2002 and a cash dividend of 28
cents per share was declared in the second quarter of 2003 compared to 24 cents
in the second quarter of 2002.
Regulatory leverage capital ratios for the Company were 8.31% and 8.19% at
June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The Company had a tier one
risk-based capital ratio of 11.64% and tier two risk-based capital ratio of
12.73% at June 30, 2003, compared to 12.32% and 13.45%, respectively, at
December 31, 2002. These are comfortably above the standards to be rated "well-
capitalized" by regulatory authorities -- qualifying the Company for lower
deposit-insurance premiums.
On September 23, 2002, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
authorized the repurchase of up to 5.0% of the outstanding shares of the
Company's common stock, or slightly more than 120,000 shares. The Company
expects such repurchases to be effected from time to time, in the open market,
in private transactions or otherwise, during a period of up to 24 months. The
amount and timing of shares to be purchased will be subject to market
conditions and will be based on several factors, including the price of the
Company's stock and the level of stock issuances under the Company's employee
stock plans. No assurance can be given as to the specific timing of the share
repurchases or as to whether and to what extent the share repurchase will be
consummated. In Management's opinion, the Company has adequate capital
resources to undertake this repurchase plan. As of June 30, 2003, the Company
had repurchased 26,069 shares under the 2002 repurchase plan - including 21,054
shares in the fourth quarter of 2002 and 5,014 shares in the first two quarters
of 2003.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

As of June 30, 2003 the Bank had primary sources of liquidity of $37.4 million
and an additional $119.8 million of secondary sources. It is Management's
opinion that this is adequate. In its Asset/Liability policy, the Bank has
adopted guidelines for liquidity. The Company is not aware of any
recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if they were to be
implemented, would have a material effect on the Corporation's liquidity,
capital resources or results of operations.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

At June 30, 2003, loans on non-accrual status totaled $1,109,000, which
compares to non-accrual loans of $1,070,000 as of December 31, 2002. In
addition to loans on non-accrual status at June 30, 2003, loans past due 90
days or more and accruing (calculated on a constant 30-day month basis) totaled
$139,000, which compares to $406,000 as of December 31, 2002. The Company
continues to accrue interest on these loans because it believes collection of
the interest is reasonably assured.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

No material off-balance sheet risk exists that requires a separate liability
presentation.

SALE OF LOANS
No recourse obligations have been incurred in connection with the sale of
loans.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain disclosures in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations contain certain forward-looking statements
(as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). In
preparing these disclosures, Management must make assumptions, including, but
not limited to, the level of future interest rates, prepayments on loans and
investment securities, required levels of capital, needs for liquidity, and the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. These forward-looking statements may
be subject to significant known and unknown risks uncertainties, and other
factors, including, but not limited to, those matters referred to in the
preceding sentence.
Although First National Lincoln Corporation believes that the expectations
reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may
differ materially from the results discussed in these forward-looking
statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward
looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company
undertakes no obligation to republish revised forward-looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are also urged to carefully review
and consider the various disclosures made by the Company which attempt to
advise interested parties of the facts which affect the Company's business.

Page 23
Item 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value
of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates. First National
Lincoln Corporation's market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk.
The Bank's Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) is responsible for reviewing the
interest rate sensitivity position of the Company and establishing policies to
monitor and limit exposure to interest rate risk. All guidelines and policies
established by ALCO have been approved by the Board of Directors.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The primary goal of asset/liability management is to maximize net interest
income within the interest rate risk limits set by ALCO. Interest rate risk is
monitored through the use of two complementary measures: static gap analysis
and earnings simulation modeling. While each measurement has limitations, taken
together they represent a reasonably comprehensive view of the magnitude of
interest rate risk in the Company, the level of risk through time, and the
amount of exposure to changes in certain interest rate relationships.
Static gap analysis measures the amount of repricing risk embedded in the
balance sheet at a point in time. It does so by comparing the differences in
the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities. A gap is defined as
the difference between the principal amount of assets and liabilities which
reprice within a specified time period. The Bank's cumulative one-year gap, at
June 30, 2003, was 10.2% of total assets. ALCO's policy limit for the one-year
gap is plus or minus 20% of total assets. Core deposits with non-contractual
maturities are presented based upon historical patterns of balance attrition
and pricing behavior which are reviewed at least annually.
The gap repricing distributions include principal cash flows from
residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities in the time frames in
which they are expected to be received. Mortgage prepayments are estimated by
applying industry median projections of prepayment speeds to portfolio segments
based on coupon range and loan age.

The earnings simulation model forecasts captures the impact of changing
interest rates on one-year and two-year net interest income. The modeling
process calculates changes in interest income received and interest expense
paid on all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reflected
on the Company's balance sheet. None of the assets used in the simulation are
held for trading purposes. The modeling is done for a variety of scenarios that
incorporate changes in the absolute level of interest rates as well as basis
risk, as represented by changes in the shape of the yield curve and changes in
interest rate relationships. Management evaluates the effects on income of
alternative interest rate scenarios against earnings in a stable interest rate
environment. This analysis is also most useful in determining the short-run
earnings exposures to changes in customer behavior involving loan payments and
deposit additions and withdrawals.
The Bank's most recent simulation model projects net interest income would
decrease by approximately 0.18% of stable-rate net interest income if rates
fall gradually by one percentage point over the next year, and increase by
approximately 0.37% if rates rise gradually by two percentage points. Both
scenarios are well within ALCO's policy limit of a decrease in net interest
income of no more than 10.0% given a 2.0% move in interest rates, up or down.
Management believes this reflects a reasonable interest rate risk position. In
year two, and assuming no additional movement in rates, the model forecasts
that net interest income would be lower than that earned in a stable rate
environment by 1.46% in a falling-rate scenario and decrease by 0.90% in a
rising rate scenario when compared to the year one base scenario.

This dynamic simulation model includes assumptions about how the balance
sheet is likely to evolve through time and in different interest rate
environments. Loans and deposits are projected to maintain stable balances. All
maturities, calls and prepayments in the securities portfolio are assumed to be
reinvested in similar assets. Mortgage loan prepayment assumptions are
developed from industry median estimates of prepayment speeds for portfolios
with similar coupon ranges and seasoning. Non-contractual deposit volatility
and pricing are assumed to follow historical patterns. The sensitivities of key
assumptions are analyzed annually and reviewed by ALCO.
A summary of the Bank's interest rate risk simulation modeling, as of June
30, 2003 is presented in the following table:

- -------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in Net Interest Income 2003
- -------------------------------------------------------------
Year 1
Projected change if rates decrease by 1.0% -0.18%
Projected change if rates increase by 2.0% +0.37%
- -------------------------------------------------------------
Year 2
Projected change if rates decrease by 1.0% -1.46%
Projected change if rates increase by 2.0% -0.90%
- -------------------------------------------------------------

The information for static gap and changes in net interest income
presented in this section pertains to the Bank only and does not include a
small volume of assets and liabilities owned by the Company and included in its
consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2003. In Management's opinion,
the Bank-only information would not be materially different than that for the
Company's consolidated balances. This sensitivity analysis does not represent a
Company forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected
operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous
assumptions including, among others, the nature and timing of interest rate
levels, yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay
rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, and reinvestment/ replacement
of asset and liability cash flows. While assumptions are developed based upon
current economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any
assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions, including how
customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

A variety of financial instruments can be used to manage interest rate
sensitivity. These may include investment securities, interest rate swaps, and
interest rate caps and floors. Frequently called interest rate derivatives,
interest rate swaps, caps and floors have characteristics similar to securities
but possess the advantages of customization of the risk-reward profile of the
instrument, minimization of balance sheet leverage and improvement of
liquidity. As of June 30, 2003, the Company was not using any derivative
instruments for interest rate risk management.
The Company engages an independent consultant to periodically review its
interest rate risk position, as well as the effectiveness of simulation
modeling and reasonableness of assumptions used. As of June 30, 2003, there
were no significant differences between the views of the independent consultant
and Management regarding the Company's interest rate risk exposure. Management
expects interest rates may rise in the second half of 2003 and believes that
the current level of interest rate risk is acceptable.
