INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT
 
The Shareholders and Board of Directors
Camden National Corporation
 
We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated financial information of Camden National Corporation and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2002, and for the nine-month and three-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 United States 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 United States generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001
 
NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete presentation of financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated statements of condition of Camden National Corporation, as of September 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001, the consolidated statements of income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. The income reported for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the December 31, 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders.
 
NOTE 2—EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
Basic earnings per share data is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Potential common stock is considered in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share.
 
The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

NOTE 3—DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company has interest rate protection agreements (caps) with notional amounts of $70.0 million at September 30, 2002. These caps are used to limit the Company’s exposure to a rising rate environment. Under these agreements the Company paid up front premiums for the right to receive cash flow payments in excess of the predetermined cap rate, thus effectively capping its interest rate cost for the duration of the agreement. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, management designates these caps as cash-flow hedges. For a qualifying cash flow hedge, an interest rate cap will be carried on the statement of condition at fair value with the time and option volatility value changes reflected in the current statement of income. Any intrinsic value will be recorded in other comprehensive income and recognized in future statements of income as an offset to related future interest costs. As of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the caps have no fair value and therefore there was no effect on the statements of income or other comprehensive income.
 
The Company also has swap agreements with notional amounts of $30 million at September 30, 2002 to hedge floating rate loans. These swap agreements are designated as a cash flow hedge since they convert a portion of the loan portfolio from a variable rate based upon the Prime rate to a fixed rate. The hedge relationship is estimated to be 100% effective, therefore, there is no impact on the statements of income. The fair values of the swap agreements are recorded in the statement of condition with the offset recorded in the statement of other comprehensive income.
 
Upon implementation of SFAS No. 133, net gains and losses related to the effective cash flow hedge component of derivative instruments were reported as a cumulative effect adjustment to other comprehensive income and the Company also transferred all of its investment securities classified as held to maturity to available for sale. The impact of this reclassification was an increase to other comprehensive income of $2.0 million, net of applicable taxes.
 
NOTE 4—ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENT OF LIABILITIES
 
During September 2002, the Company securitized, with the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, $16.7 million of residential mortgages and simultaneously purchased the underling securities. This transaction resulted in the Company’s loan balances decreasing, as those assets shifted to the securities available for sale section of the statement of condition and are now classified as mortgage-backed securities. Under the applicable loan sale and servicing agreements, the Company generally continues to service the residential real estate mortgages that have been securitized. The Company pays the investor an agreed-upon rate on the loan, which, including a guarantee fee paid to Freddie Mac, is less than the interest rate the Company receives from the borrower. The difference is retained by the Company as a fee for servicing the residential real estate mortgages. As required by SFAS No. 140, the Company capitalizes mortgage servicing rights at their fair value upon sale of the related loans. Accordingly, $209.0 thousand of mortgage servicing fees associated with this transaction were recognized in income during the three months ended September 30, 2002.
 
In September 2001, the Company also securitized, with the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, $57.0 million of residential mortgages and simultaneously purchased the underling securities resulting in a similar balance sheet shift and $677.3 thousand of mortgage servicing fee income recognized in income during the three months ended September 30, 2001.
 
NOTE 5—CORE DEPOSIT INTANGIBLES
 
The Company has a core deposit intangible asset related to the acquisition of bank branches in 1998. The core deposit intangible is amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years, and reviewed for possible impairment when it is determined that events or changed circumstances may affect the underlying basis of the asset. The carrying amount is as follows:

Amortization expense related to the core deposit intangible for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 amounted to $706.0 thousand and $219.0 thousand, respectively. The expected amortization expense for each year in the five-year period ending December 31, 2007 is estimated to be $941.1 thousand.
 
NOTE 6—GOODWILL
 
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recognized and reported separately from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires, in part, that recorded goodwill be tested at least annually for impairment rather than being amortized over the estimated useful life of the underlying business. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141 as of July 1, 2001 and SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002. Goodwill acquired in a purchase business combination completed after June 30, 2001, but before SFAS No. 142 was adopted in full, was not amortized. The Company had no business combinations treated as a purchase before July 1, 2001, thus the Company did not have any goodwill prior to that date. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company evaluated its existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in purchase business combinations, and considered whether any necessary reclassifications were required in order to conform with the new classification criteria in SFAS No. 141 for recognition separate from goodwill. No such reclassifications were required.
 
In connection with the transitional goodwill impairment evaluation, SFAS No. 142 required the Company to perform an assessment of whether there was an indication that goodwill was permanently impaired as of the date of adoption. To accomplish this, the Company identified its reporting units and determined the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill, to those reporting units as of the date of adoption. As a result of this process, the Company has identified Banking and Financial Services as reporting units based on operational characteristics, the existence of discrete financial information, and direct management review of these units. The Company had six months from the date of adoption to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the reporting unit’s carrying amount. The Company determined that goodwill was impaired as of January 1, 2002, the date of adoption, and the transitional impairment loss, net of taxes, was recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the Company’s consolidated statement of income.
 
The Company estimated the value of goodwill as of January 1, 2002 utilizing several standard valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses, as well as an estimation of the impact of business conditions on the long-term value of the goodwill carried on the Company’s statement of condition. Management and the Board of Directors determined that the impact of the overall deterioration of the stock market on investor activities within its target market had negatively impacted the value of the Company’s goodwill balances related to the acquisitions of its financial services subsidiaries. This resulted in an estimation of impairment of $690,000, before taxes, which management determined as of June 30, 2002, effective January 1, 2002.

NOTE 7—STOCK REPURCHASE
 
On June 25, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to authorize the Company to purchase up to 409,500 shares or approximately 5% of its outstanding common stock. The authority may be exercised from time to time and in such amounts as market conditions warrant. Any purchases are intended to make appropriate adjustments to the Company’s capital structure, including meeting share requirements related to employee benefit plans and for general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2002, the Company has repurchased 37,950 shares of common stock at an average price of $24.21 under this plan.
 
NOTE 8—SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, encourages all entities to adopt a fair value-based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.
 
However, SFAS No. 123 also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, whereby compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement date) over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. In prior years, the Company has elected to follow this method and accordingly no compensation costs have been recognized.
 
Effective August 27, 2002, the Company has elected to adopt a fair value-based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans and expense the compensation costs over the vesting period of the options. No options have been granted during 2002.
 
In prior periods the Company has disclosed, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the pro forma effect on net income of compensation costs based on the fair value of the options at the grant dates consistent with SFAS No. 123.
 
NOTE 9—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” and SFAS No.147, “Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions.”
 
SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities.
 
SFAS No. 147, “Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions,” amends SFAS No. 72, “Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions,” to exclude from its scope most acquisitions of financial institutions. Such transactions should be accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 147 is effective on October 1, 2002.
 
The Company does not expect these statements to have any material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION
 
The discussions set forth below and in the documents we incorporate by reference herein contain certain statements that may be considered forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company may make written or oral forward-looking statements in other documents we file with the SEC, in our annual reports to stockholders, in press releases and other written materials, and in oral statements made by our officers, directors or employees. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “assume,” “will,” “should,” and other expressions which predict or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate to historical matters. You should not rely on forward-looking statements, because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Company. These risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from the anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
 
Some of the factors that might cause these differences include the following: changes in general, national or regional economic conditions; changes in loan default and charge-off rates; reductions in deposit levels necessitating increased borrowing to fund loans and investments; declines in mortgage loan refinancing and equity loan and lines of credit activity resulting in a decrease of non-interest income; changes in interest rates; changes in laws and regulations; changes in the size and nature of the Company’s competition; and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. You should carefully review all of these factors, and you should be aware that there may be other factors that could cause these differences, including, among others, the factors listed under “Certain Factors Affecting Future Operating Results,” beginning on page 16 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Readers should carefully review the factors described under “Certain Factors Affecting Future Operating Results” and should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
 
These forward-looking statements were based on information, plans and estimates at the date of this report, and we do not promise to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events or other changes.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition are 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 probable losses. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different provisions for loan losses.

Table of Contents
 
Management utilizes numerous techniques to estimate the value of various assets held by the Company. As previously discussed, management utilized various methods to determine the appropriate carrying value of goodwill as required under SFAS 142. Different estimates or assumptions are also utilized to determine the appropriate carrying value of other assets including, but not limited to, property, plant and equipment, mortgage servicing rights, overall collectibility of loans and receivables. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different estimates of carrying value.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The Company reported consolidated net income after cumulative effect of change in accounting for goodwill of $12.4 million or $1.53 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 2002. This is an increase of $288.0 thousand or 2.4% compared to net income of $12.1 million or $1.48 per diluted share for the comparable period of 2001. Net income before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for goodwill was $12.8 million, an increase of 6.1% compared to the first nine months of 2001. On a fully diluted per share basis, earnings before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for goodwill were $1.59 per share for the first nine months of 2002, compared to $1.48 reported for the first nine months of 2001. On a fully diluted per share basis, earnings after the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for goodwill were $1.53 per share for the first nine months of 2002, compared to $1.48 reported for the first nine months of 2001. Return on average equity (“ROE”) and return on average assets (“ROA”) for the first nine months of the year was 15.18% and 1.46%, respectively. ROE and ROA were 16.64% and 1.56%, respectively, for the same period in 2001.
 
For the third quarter of 2002, the Company reported consolidated net income of $4.6 million or $0.57 per diluted share, an increase of 3.6% over earnings per diluted share of $0.55 reported for the third quarter of 2001. During the third quarter 2002 the Company continued to experience a narrowing of the net interest margin as yields on earning assets continue to re-price downward faster than the cost of funding. During the third quarter 2001 there were a number of non-recurring items that in the aggregate had a favorable effect on earnings (gain on sale of securities, income recognized from the securitization of $59.0 million residential mortgages, legal fees, settlement costs associated with the Gamache case, and acquisition related expenses).
 
NET INTEREST INCOME
 
The Company’s net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $35.0 million, a 6.5% or $2.1 million increase over the net interest income for the first nine months of 2001 of $32.9 million. Interest income on loans decreased by $7.3 million from $48.8 million to $41.5 million, or 14.9%, during the nine-month period of 2002 compared to the same period of 2001. This decrease was due to lower loan yields resulting from a decreasing interest rate environment. The Company experienced an increase in interest income on investments of $1.9 million during the first nine months of 2002 compared to $11.9 million in the same period in 2001 due to increased investment volumes. The Company’s interest expense on deposits decreased during the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 of 35.1% due to a lower interest rate environment and subsequent lower rates paid on deposits, that was somewhat offset by increased deposit volumes. Net interest income, expressed as a percentage of average interest-earnings assets for the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, was 4.47% and 4.59%, respectively.
 
Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $11.7 million, a 0.3% or $40.0 thousand increase, over $11.6 million in net interest income for the same period in 2001. The low interest environment experience during the third quarter of 2002 has resulted in a continued narrowing of the net interest margin as yields on earning assets continue to decline faster than the cost of funding.
 
The following tables, which present changes in interest income and interest expense by major asset and liability category for nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, illustrate the impact of average volume growth and rate changes. The income from tax-exempt assets, municipal investments and loans, has been adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis, thereby allowing a uniform comparison to be made between asset yields. Changes in net interest income are the result of interest rate movements, changes in the amounts and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and changes in the level of non-interest-earning assets and non-interest-bearing liabilities. The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swap agreements that have an effect on net interest income. There was an increase in net interest income due to the derivative financial instruments of

15

Table of Contents
$422.0 thousand during the first nine months of 2002 compared to an increase of $421.0 thousand in the first nine months of 2001. The average amount of non-accrual loans can also affect the average yield on all outstanding loans. Non-accrual loans for September 30, 2002 and 2001 were $8.3 million and $7.8 million, respectively.

NONINTEREST INCOME
 
Total non-interest income increased by $504.0 thousand or 5.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Excluding the gain of $932.0 thousand realized from the sale of derivative instruments during 2001, non-interest income increased $1.4 million or 15.9%. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $184.0 thousand or 7.0% for the first nine months of 2002 compared to 2001. Income from trust fees increased $709.0 thousand or 66.4% primarily due to the acquisition of Acadia Trust, N.A. on July 19, 2001. Merchant card program fees increased $131.0 thousand or 8.3 % during the first nine months of the year compared to a comparable period in 2001 due to increased volumes. Residential mortgage servicing rights associated with sales of residential real estate loans decreased $228.0 thousand due to a decrease in the sale of loans during the first nine months of 2002 compared to 2001. Other non-interest income increased $750.0 or 39.7%, primarily due to $479.0 thousand in management fees from Acadia Trust, N.A, an increase in gains on the sale of property of $124.1 thousand, and an increase in brokerage fees of $198.4 thousand from Acadia Financial Consultants, our banks’ full-service brokerage and insurance divisions added during the fourth quarter of 2001.
 
Total non-interest income decreased by $511.0 thousand or 11.9% during the third quarter of 2002 compared to the third quarter of 2001. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $92.0 thousand or 10.6% for the third quarter of 2002 compared to 2001. Merchant card program fees increased $28.0 thousand or 3.4% during the third quarter due to increased volumes. Income from trust fees decreased slightly by $13.0 thousand or 2.3% in the third quarter of 2002 compared to 2001. Mortgage servicing rights decrease $428.0 thousand or 61.9% in the third quarter of 2002 compared to 2001 primarily due to the reduction in loan sales in the third quarter of 2002 compared to 2001. Other non-interest income also decreased $117.0 or 14.1% during the third quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001.
 
During 2002, the overall impact of the general stock market environment negatively impacted business activities in the Company’s financial services business lines. General stock market activity affected the Company’s financial results in several ways. For example, decreased market values of clients’ assets under management (“AUM”) resulted in decreased AUM levels resulting in lower management fees. Additionally, an overall negative investor sentiment toward the stock market affected the Company’s ability to attract and retain clients who use the Company’s investment management services. The impact of the existing stock market performance, however, has benefited the Company’s banking subsidiaries as disenchanted stock market investors searched for safer investment opportunities such as certificates of deposits, money market funds and other traditional products offered through the banking subsidiaries.
 
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
 
Total non-interest expense increased by $1.1 million or 4.7% in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Salaries and employee benefit costs increased by $1.7 million or 16.6% during the first nine months of 2002 compared to 2001. The largest portion of this increase, approximately $1.2 million, was related to costs associated with Acadia Trust N.A. and Acadia Financial Consultants. Excluding this amount, the increase for the nine-month period would have been $479.0 thousand or 4.6%, which is due to normal annual salary increases and higher benefit costs. Expenses related to premises and fixed assets increased $233.0 thousand or 7.3% during the first nine months of 2002 compared to 2001 due to the addition of Acadia Trust, N.A. and the renovation and expansion of several of the Company’s facilities. Other operating expenses decreased by $905.0 thousand or 12.9%, in the first nine months of 2002 compared to the first nine months of 2002, primarily due to a legal settlement paid in 2001.
 
Total non-interest expense decreased by $549.0 thousand or 6.4% in the quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same quarter ended September 30, 2001. Salaries and employee benefit costs increased by $413.0 thousand or 11.4% during the third quarter of 2002 compared to 2001. A portion of this increase, approximately $164.8 thousand, is related to the costs associated with the addition of Acadia Trust N.A. and Acadia Financial Consultants during the third and fourth quarters of 2001, respectively. Expenses related to premises and fixed assets increased $33.0 thousand or 3.2% during the third quarter of 2002 compared to 2001 due to the

addition of Acadia Trust, N.A. and the renovation and expansion of several of the Company’s facilities. Other operating expenses decreased by $1.0 million or 35.4%, in the third quarter of 2002 compared to the third quarter of 2001 due to a legal settlement paid in 2001.
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
During the first nine months of 2002, year-to-date average assets of $1.1 billion increased by $93.4 million, or 9.0%, compared to the same period in 2001. This increase was the result of an increase in the investment portfolio that averaged $306.5 million during the first nine months of 2002, an increase of $70.4 million or 29.8%, as compared to $236.1 million during the first nine months of 2001 reflecting the securitization of $16.7 million and $57.0 million of residential mortgage loans during 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company’s loan portfolio (including residential mortgages held for sale) increased $17.5 million or 2.4% to $750.5 million of average loans outstanding during the first nine months of 2002 compared to $732.9 million of average loans outstanding during the first nine months of 2001. The largest increase in loan balances was in commercial real estate loans, which increased by $50.9 million, or 20.8%, during the first nine months of 2002 compared to 2001 reflecting increased activity in the Company’s Portland, Maine office. Average residential real estate loans decreased by $34.9 million, or 14.9%, during the first nine months of 2002 compared to the first three quarters of 2001, primarily due to the securitization of loans, offset by new mortgage activity in 2002.
 
The liquidity needs of the Company requires the availability of cash to meet the withdrawal demands of depositors and credit commitments to borrowers. Due to the potential for unexpected fluctuations in both deposits and loans, active management of the Company’s liquidity is necessary. The Company maintains various sources of funding and levels of liquid assets in excess of regulatory guidelines in order to satisfy its varied liquidity demands. The Company monitors its liquidity in accordance with its internal guidelines and all applicable regulatory requirements. As of September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company’s level of liquidity exceeded its target levels. Management believes that the Company currently has appropriate liquidity available to respond to liquidity demands. Sources of funds utilized by the Company consist of deposits, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLBB”) and other sources, cash flows from operations, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans, investments and mortgage-backed securities, and the sales of mortgage loans.
 
Reflecting the Company’s primary source of funds, year-to-date average deposits of $790.5 million during the first nine months of 2002 increased $53.9 million or 7.3% from $736.6 million reported during the first nine months of 2001. Borrowings supplement deposits as a source of liquidity. In addition to borrowings from the FHLBB, the Company purchases federal funds, sells securities under agreements to repurchase and utilizes treasury tax and loan accounts. Average borrowings for the first nine months of 2002 were $223.7 million, an increase of $25.3 million or 12.8% from $198.3 million during the first nine months of 2001 due to the need for funds resulting from increases in commercial real estate loans. The majority of the borrowings were from the FHLBB, whose advances remained the largest non-deposit-related, interest-bearing funding source for the Company. Qualified residential real estate loans, certain investment securities and certain other assets available to be pledged secure these borrowings.
 
Another major component of the Company’s financial condition is its allowance for loan losses (“ALL”). In determining the adequacy of the ALL, management relies primarily on its review of the loan portfolio both to ascertain whether there are specific loan losses to be reserved against, and to assess the collectibility of the loan portfolio in the aggregate. Non-performing loans are examined on an individual basis to determine the estimated probable loss on these loans. In addition, each quarter, management conducts a formal analysis of the ALL, which considers the current loan mix and loan volumes, historical net loan loss experience for each loan category, and current economic conditions affecting each loan category. No assurance can be given, however, that adverse economic conditions or other circumstances will not result in increased losses in the portfolio. The Company continues to monitor and modify its ALL as conditions dictate.
 
During the first nine months of 2002, the Company provided $2.5 million to the allowance for loan losses compared to $2.2 million in the first nine months of 2001. A softening of the economy in the central and western Maine markets had an adverse impact on UnitedKingfield Bank’s asset quality during the first half of 2002. In response to this developing trend, the Company conducted a thorough review of UnitedKingfield Bank’s loan portfolio. Total

19

Table of Contents
non-performing assets were 1.13% of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2002, compared to 1.32% of loans outstanding September 30, 2001. Determining an appropriate level of ALL involves a high degree of judgment. Management believes that the ALL at September 30, 2002 of $14.8 million, or 1.95%, of total loans outstanding on September 30, 2002 compared to 1.84% on September 30, 2001, was appropriate given the current economic conditions in the Company’s service area and the overall condition of the loan portfolio.
 
Under Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) guidelines, bank holding companies such as the Company are required to maintain capital based on risk-adjusted assets. These guidelines apply to the Company on a consolidated basis. Under the current guidelines, banking organizations must maintain a risk-based capital ratio of 8%, of which at least 4% must be in the form of core capital. The Company’s Tier 1 and total risk based capital ratios at September 30, 2002, were 12.3% and 13.5%, respectively, exceeding regulatory guidelines. The Company’s Tier 1 and total risk based capital ratios at December 31, 2001 were 12.9% and 14.2%, respectively, also exceeding regulatory guidelines.
 
The principal cash requirement of the Company is the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock as and when declared by the Board of Directors. The Company is primarily dependent upon the payment of cash dividends by its subsidiaries to service its commitments. The Company, as the sole shareholder of its subsidiaries, is entitled to dividends when and as declared by each subsidiary’s Board of Directors from legally available funds. The Company declared dividends in the aggregate amount of $4.2 million and $3.9 million in the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, respectively.
 
IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
 
The interim Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements thereto presented elsewhere herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
 
Unlike many industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and virtually all of the liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Company’s performance than the general level of inflation. Over short periods of time, interest rates may not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as inflation.
 
ITEM 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
 
MARKET RISK
 
Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates/prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The Company’s primary market risk exposure at the bank subsidiaries is interest rate risk. The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of the Company’s asset/liability management process, which is governed by policies established by the subsidiaries’ Boards of Directors that are reviewed and approved annually. Each bank subsidiary’s Board of Directors’ Asset/Liability Committee (“Board ALCO”) delegates responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability management policies to the Company’s Management Asset/Liability Committee (“Management ALCO”). In this capacity, Management ALCO develops guidelines and strategies impacting the Company’s asset/liability management-related activities based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels/trends. The Management ALCO and Board ALCO jointly meet on a quarterly basis to review strategies, policies, economic conditions and various activities as part of the management of these risks.

20

Table of Contents
 
INTEREST RATE RISK
 
Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates change, the interest income and expense streams associated with the Company’s financial instruments also change, thereby impacting net interest income (“NII”), the primary component of the Company’s earnings. Board and Management ALCO utilizes the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of NII to sustained interest rate changes. While Board and Management ALCO routinely monitors simulated NII sensitivity over a rolling 2-year horizon, it also utilizes additional tools to monitor potential longer-term interest rate risk.
 
The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all interest-earning assets and liabilities reflected on the Company’s balance sheet as well as for derivative financial instruments. None of the assets used in the simulation were held for trading purposes. This sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy limits which specify a maximum tolerance level for NII exposure over a 1-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, given both a 200 basis point (“bp”) upward and 200 bp downward shift in interest rates. A 100 bp decline scenario was used this quarter due to the current low level of interest rates. A parallel and pro rata shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed. The following reflects the Company’s NII sensitivity analysis as measured during the third quarter of 2002.

Changes in NII
+200bp

The preceding 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.
 
The most significant factors affecting the changes in market risk exposures during the first nine months of 2002 were the continued low interest rate environment, the increase in the aggregate principal amount in fixed-rate loans extended by the subsidiary banks, and the increase of fixed-rate FHLBB borrowings. Increases in fixed-rate loans and borrowings, resulted in reducing the Company’s opportunity to lower funding costs in a declining rate environment. The Company decreased its exposure in a rising rate environment by locking in fixed-rate borrowings, while increasing its market risk in both a flat or declining interest rate environment. The increased risk in the flat or declining interest rate environment is well within the Company’s policy limits.
 
When appropriate, the Company may utilize derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate floors, caps and swaps to hedge its interest rate risk position. The Board of Directors’ approved hedging policy statements governing the use of these instruments by the bank subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had a notional principal of $30 million in interest rate swap agreements and $70 million in cap contracts. The $30 million of interest rate swap agreements mature in 2005, while the $70 million cap contract with a strike rate of 7.0% matures in October 2002. Board and Management ALCO monitor derivative activities relative to its expectation and the Company’s hedging policies. These instruments are more fully described in Note 3 – Derivative Financial Instruments within the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” section.
 
The Company entered interest rate swap agreements to convert a portion of the loan portfolio from a variable rate based upon the Prime rate to a fixed rate. In a purchased interest rate swap agreement, cash interest payments are exchanged between the Company and counterparty. The estimated effects of these derivative financial instruments on the Company’s earnings are included in the sensitivity analysis presented above. The risks associated with entering into in this transaction are the risk of default from the counterparty from whom the Company has entered into agreement and poor correlation between the rate being swapped and the liability cost of the Company. The Company’s risk from default of a counterparty is limited to the expected cash flow anticipated from the counterparty, not the notional value.

21

Table of Contents
 
In a purchased interest rate cap agreement, cash interest payments are received only if current interest rates rise above predetermined interest rates. These agreements were purchased to protect the Company’s exposure to fixed rate instruments in a rising rate environment. The estimated effects of these derivative financial instruments on the Company’s earnings are included in the sensitivity analysis presented above. The risks entered into in this transaction are: 1) the risk of default from the counterparty from whom the Company purchased the cap; 2) poor correlation between the rate being capped and the liability cost of the Company; and, 3) the fee being paid for the protection (i.e. if rates do not rise the protection will never have any value). Over the term of the cap, the Company will always write-off the total premium paid for protection.
