                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                           December 31, 1998 and 1997


(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     In  preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements,   management  is
     required to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect the  reported
     amounts of assets and  liabilities  disclosure of  contingent  assets and
     liabilities  as of the  date  of  the  balance  sheet,  and  revenue  and
     expenses  for  the  period.   Actual  results  could  differ  from  those
     estimates.   The  significant  policies  and  estimates  applied  in  the
     preparation  of these  consolidated  financial  statements  are discussed
     below.


     (a)  Consolidation

         The consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of First
         Bancorp,  Inc. and its wholly-owned  subsidiary,  First Bank, and its
         wholly-owned subsidiaries,  Dock Street Building Corporation and Dock
         Street  Title  Agency,   Incorporated   (Company).   All  significant
         intercompany  accounts and  transactions  have been  eliminated.  The
         Company's  primary market area is Southeast Alaska where the majority
         of its activities has been with Alaska businesses and individuals.


     (b)  Reclassifications

         Certain  prior  year  balances  have been  changed  to conform to the
         present year presentation.


     (c)  Investments

         Securities   available  for  sale  are  stated  at  fair  value  with
         unrealized  holding  gains and  losses  excluded  from  earnings  and
         reported  as  a  net  amount  in  a  separate   component   of  other
         comprehensive  income.  Securities  are  classified  as available for
         sale  when   management   intends  to  hold  the  securities  for  an
         indefinite  period of time or when the securities may be utilized for
         tactical  asset/liability  purposes and may be sold from time to time
         to   effectively   manage   interest   rate  exposure  and  resultant
         prepayment risk and liquidity needs.

         Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  stock  is  carried  at cost  which  is its
         redeemable (fair) value since the market for this stock is limited.

         Premiums are amortized  (deducted) and discounts are accreted (added)
         to  interest  income on  investment  securities  using  methods  that
         approximate  the  level-yield  method.  Gains and  losses on sales of
         securities are computed using the  specific-identification  method of
         determining the cost of securities sold.

                              FIRST BANCORP, INC.
                                 AND SUBSIDIARY
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                           December 31, 1998 and 1997

     (d)  Loans

         Loans are stated at the  principal  amount  outstanding.  Interest on
         loans is  taken  into  income  when  earned.  Loan  origination  fees
         received  in excess  of direct  origination  costs are  deferred  and
         amortized to income by a method  approximating the level-yield method
         over the estimated loan term.

         Interest  income on loans is  recorded  on an accrual  basis until an
         interest  or  principal  payment is more than 90 days past due and in
         the opinion of management the  collectibility  of such income becomes
         doubtful.  The  deferral  or  nonrecognition  of  interest  does  not
         constitute forgiveness of the borrower's obligation.


     (e)  Allowance for Loan Losses

         The allowance  for loan losses is a general  reserve  established  by
         management  to  absorb  unidentified  losses  in the  Company's  loan
         portfolio.  In determining the adequacy of the allowance,  management
         evaluates   prevailing  economic   conditions,   results  of  regular
         examinations  and evaluations of the quality of the loan portfolio by
         external  parties,  actual  loan  loss  experience,   the  extent  of
         existing  risks in the loan  portfolio and other  pertinent  factors.
         The  allowance for impaired  loans is based on discounted  cash flows
         using the loans'  initial  interest rates or, if the loan is secured,
         the fair value of the collateral.

         Future  additions to the allowance may be necessary  based on changes
         in economic  conditions and other factors used in evaluating the loan
         portfolio.   Additionally,   various  regulatory   agencies,   as  an
         integral part of their examination  process,  periodically review the
         allowance.  Such  agencies may require the  recognition  of additions
         to the allowance based on their judgment of information  available to
         them at the time of their examination.


     (f)  Loan Servicing

         The cost of mortgage  servicing rights is amortized in proportion to,
         and  over  the  period  of,   estimated   net   servicing   revenues.
         Impairment  of mortgage  servicing  rights is  assessed  based on the
         fair  value  of  those  rights.   Fair  values  are  estimated  using
         discounted  cash flows based on a current  market  interest rate. The
         amount  of   impairment   recognized  is  the  amount  by  which  the
         capitalized mortgage servicing rights exceed their fair value.


     (g)  Other Real Estate

         Other real estate represents  properties acquired through foreclosure
         or its  equivalent.  Prior  to  foreclosure,  the  carrying  value is
         adjusted  to the  lower  of cost or fair  market  value  of the  real
         estate to be acquired by a charge to the  allowance  for loan losses.
         Any  subsequent  reduction  in  carrying  value  is  charged  against
         operating expenses.

                           December 31, 1998 and 1997


     (h)  Premises and Equipment

         Premises and  equipment  are stated at cost,  less  amortization  and
         accumulated   depreciation.   Depreciation   expense   on   leasehold
         improvements is computed by use of the straight-line  method over the
         shorter of the  estimated  useful  lives of the  assets or  leasehold
         improvements.   Expenditures   for   remodeling,   improvements   and
         construction are capitalized,  while expenditures for maintenance and
         repairs are charged to expense.


     (i)  Income Taxes

         Income  taxes  are  accounted  for  under  the  asset  and  liability
         method.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are recognized for the
         future tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences  between  the
         financial   statement   carrying   amounts  of  existing  assets  and
         liabilities and their  respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and
         liabilities  are measured  using enacted tax rates  expected to apply
         to  taxable  income in the years in which the  temporary  differences
         are expected to be  recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax
         assets  and  liabilities  of a change in tax rates is  recognized  in
         income in the period that includes the enactment date.


     (j)  Net Income Per Share

         Per  share  amounts  are  calculated  based on the  weighted  average
         number of shares  and common  share  equivalents  outstanding  during
         each year.  Outstanding  stock  options are common stock  equivalents
         and  therefore  are  included  in the  calculation  of  the  weighted
         average number of shares outstanding, if dilutive.


     (k)  Comprehensive Income

         On  January 1, 1998,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
         Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 130, Reporting  Comprehensive  Income.
         SFAS No. 130 establishes  standards for reporting and presentation of
         comprehensive  income and its  components  in a full set of financial
         statements.  Comprehensive  income  consists  of net  income  and net
         unrealized  gains  (losses) on  securities  and is  presented  in the
         consolidated  statements of  stockholders'  equity and  comprehensive
         income.  The statement  requires only  additional  disclosures in the
         consolidated  financial statements;  it does not affect the Company's
         financial  position or results of  operations.  Prior year  financial
         statements have been  reclassified to conform to the  requirements of
         SFAS No. 130.


 (2) Cash and Due from Banks

     The  Company is required to  maintain a $200,000  minimum  average  daily
     balance  with the  Federal  Reserve  Bank (FRB) for  purposes of settling
     financial  transactions  and  charges  for FRB  services.  The Company is
     also required to maintain  sufficient  cash balances or deposits with the
     FRB to meet its statutory reserve  requirements.  The reserve requirement
     for the two-week  maintenance  period,  which included  December 31, 1998
     was satisfied by cash on hand in the Company's  vault and on deposit with
     the FRB.

(4)   Loans

      The Company's primary market area is Southeast Alaska,  where the majority
      of its lending is with Alaska  businesses and  individuals.  Approximately
      66% of  the  Company's  loans  at  December  31,  1998,  are  for  general
      commercial uses, including timber,  tourism,  retail and small businesses.
      Substantially  all of these  loans are  collateralized  and  repayment  is
      expected from the borrowers'  cash flow or,  secondarily,  the collateral.
      The Company's  exposure to credit loss, if any, is the outstanding  amount
      of the loan if the collateral is proved to be of no value.

      The carrying amount of the loan portfolio is as follows at December 31:

</TABLE>

A valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset is provided when it is more likely
than not that some portion of the  deferred tax asset will not be realized.  The
Company has available tax planning strategies, anticipates future taxable income
and historically has had taxable income;  accordingly, a valuation allowance was
not  established  in the current year. The net deferred tax asset is included in
other assets.

(10)  Employee Benefit Plans

      On January 1, 1992,  the Company  merged  approximately  60% of its profit
      sharing plan into the existing noncontributory defined contribution 401(k)
      retirement  plan.  Contributions  made to the 401(k)  plan and  charged to
      expense amounted to $100,000,  $75,000 and $60,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
      respectively.

      Concurrently,  the Company  established an employee  stock  ownership plan
      (ESOP)  with  the  remaining  40% of the  profit  sharing  plan's  assets.
      Contributions made to the ESOP and charged to expense amounted to $75,000,
      $50,000 and $40,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

      Participation  in the plans is available to employees  who have  completed
      six months of service with the Company.

(11)  Commitments and Contingencies

      General

      The  Company  from time to time may be a  defendant  in legal  proceedings
      related  to the  conduct  of its  banking  business.  In  the  opinion  of
      management,  the  Company's  financial  position and results of operations
      will not be affected  materially by the final outcome of any present legal
      proceedings.

The Company is obligated under noncancelable operating leases for premises, some
of which have renewal options. Net future minimum rental payments required under
the lease are as follows:

                                      ==========

     Rental  expense  amounted to  $198,385,  $196,950,  and $191,739 in 1998,
     1997 and 1996, respectively.


      Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

      In the ordinary course of business,  the Company enters into various types
      of transactions which involve financial instruments with off-balance sheet
      risk. These instruments  include  commitments to extend credit and standby
      and commercial letters of credit and are not reflected in the accompanying
      balance sheets. These transactions may involve, to varying degrees, credit
      and interest rate risk in excess of the amount, if any,  recognized in the
      balance  sheets.  The Company  applies the same credit  standards to these
      contracts  as  it  uses  in  its  lending  process.  Management  does  not
      anticipate any loss to result from these commitments.

      As of December 31, the Company's off-balance sheet credit risk exposure is
      the  contractual  amount of  commitments  to extend  credit and letters of
      credit, is as follows:

                                           1998          1997
                                         ----------   -----------
      Off-balance sheet commitments:
         Commitments to extend credit  $ 8,741,433    10,240,000
         Standby and commercial
            letters of credit              395,120       575,785


      Line of Credit

      The  Company  has a line of credit  up to 20% of  assets or  approximately
      $51,000,000 at  December 31,  1998 with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).
      There is no  outstanding  balance on the credit line at December 31, 1998.
      The Company has pledged its FHLB stock and other assets as  collateral  on
      the line of credit.

(12)  Regulatory Matters

      The Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  has  established  risk-based
      standards  for  evaluating  a bank's  capital  adequacy.  These  standards
      require the Company to maintain  minimum ratio of qualifying total capital
      to risk weighted  assets of 8% of which at least 4% must be in the form of

      core  capital  (TIER 1).  Management  believes as of December 31, 1998 and
      1997,  that the Bank  meets  all  capital  adequacy  requirements.  TIER 1
      capital  includes the bank's  stockholders'  equity,  minus all intangible
      assets. The Bank's actual capital amounts at December 31 are as follows:

                                            1998       1997

(13)  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

      The  following  methods and  assumptions  were used to estimate fair value
      disclosures as defined under SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of
      Financial Instruments:

            Cash  and due from  banks  and  federal  funds  sold - the  carrying
            amounts reported in the balance sheet represent their fair values.

            Investment  securities - fair values for  investment  securities are
            based on quoted market  prices,  where  available.  If quoted market
            prices are not  available,  fair  values are based on quoted  market
            prices of comparable instruments. Investments in the Federal Reserve
            Bank (FRB) and FHLB are recorded at cost, which also represents fair
            market value.

            Loans - for variable-rate loans that reprice frequently, fair values
            are based on carrying amounts.  Fair values of residential mortgages
            with  commitments  to sell  within 90 days are based on the  amounts
            receivable under the  commitments.  An estimate of the fair value of
            the remaining  portfolio is based on  discounted  cash flow analyses
            applied to pools of similar  loans,  using  weighted  average coupon
            rate, weighted average maturity,  and interest rates currently being
            offered for similar loans.  The carrying amount of accrued  interest
            receivable approximates its fair value.

            Deposit liabilities - the fair values of demand and savings deposits
            are equal to the carrying amount at the reporting date. The carrying
            amount for variable rate time deposits approximate their fair value.
            Fair  values  for fixed rate time  deposits  are  estimated  using a
            discounted  cash flow  calculation  that applies  currently  offered
            interest  rates  to  a  schedule  of  aggregate   expected   monthly
            maturities of time deposits. The carrying amount of accrued interest
            payable approximates its fair value.

            Short-term   borrowings  -  for  FHLB  advances  and  Federal  funds
            purchased with  maturities  less than 90 days,  the carrying  amount
            represents  their fair value.  For FHLB  advances and federal  funds
            purchased  with  maturities  longer  than 90 days,  fair  values are
            estimated  using a discounted  cash flow  calculation  using current
            interest rates for similar borrowings.

            Commitments  to Extend  Credit and  Standby  Letters of Credit - The
            fair value of  commitments  is  estimated  using the fees  currently
            charged to enter into  similar  agreements,  taking into account the
            remaining  terms of the agreements and the present  creditworthiness
            of the counterparties.  For fixed-rate loan commitments,  fair value
            also  considers the  difference  between  current levels of interest

            rates and the committed  rates.  The fair value of letters of credit
            is based on fees currently charged for similar  agreements or on the
            estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise  settle the obligation
            with the counterparties at the reporting date.

            Limitations - Fair value  estimates are made at a specific  point in
            time, based on relevant market information and information about the
            financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or
            discount  that could  result from  offering for sale at one time the
            Company's  entire  holdings of a  particular  financial  instrument.
            Because no market exists for a significant  portion of the Company's
            financial  instruments,  fair value estimates are based on judgments
            regarding   future  expected  loss   experience,   current  economic
            conditions,  risk  characteristics of various financial  instruments
            and other  factors.  These  estimates  are  subjective in nature and
            involve  uncertainties  and  matters  of  significant  judgment  and
            therefore   cannot  be  determined   with   precision.   Changes  in
            assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

      Fair value of financial instruments is as follows:

(15)  Subsequent Event

      In January 1999, the Board of Directors approved a reorganization plan for
      First  Bancorp,  Inc.  This plan is intended to convert the Company into a
      Subchapter  S under the Internal  Revenue  Code.  Additionally,  this plan
      would require that the Company re-purchase a portion of their stock with a
      value  ranging  from $4 to 6  million.  This plan is to be voted on by the
      Company's stockholders in March 1999.
