COMMITTEES
The Bylaws of the Company provide that, at the annual meeting of the
Directors, the Board shall designate from among its members an Executive
Committee. The Executive Committee possesses all of the powers of the Board
of Directors with regard to ordinary operations of the business of the Company
when the Board is not in session, subject to any specific vote of the Board.
The Executive Committee currently is comprised of Messrs. Blyberg, Boit,

Nominees for election to the Board of Directors are selected by the full
Board. The Board of Directors will consider nominees recommended by stockholders

Chief Executive 1997 $132,750 $5,150 $0 $0 0 $0 $ 5,532
Officer
Each director of the Bank who is not also an officer is paid a director's
fee in the amount of $250 for each meeting attended, including meetings of the
Board committees of which the director is a member. Director's fees are paid
by the Bank and are not separately paid for attendance at meetings of the
Board of Directors of the Company. John V. Sawyer, II, who serves as Chairman
of the Board receives a salary of $26,000 per annum from the Bank but does not
receive director's fees for attendance at Board and Committee meetings. No
director has received any other compensation for Board or committee
participation or other special assignments.
The Bank maintains a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan funded
by a trust (the "Plan"). All full time employees who are at least 21 years
of age and have completed one year of service participate in the Plan.
Compensation attributable to the Plan has not been included in the Summary
Compensation Table set forth above. Annual contributions to the Plan are
computed on an actuarial basis to provide a normal retirement benefit of
60% of average annual salary minus 50% of the participant's social security
benefit, with a downward adjustment if the participant, at the time
of retirement, has completed less than 25 years of service. "Average Annual
Salary" is determined by calculating the average basic compensation of the
participant exclusive of bonuses for the three highest consecutive years
prior to attaining the age of 65; provided, however, that for the purpose
of such calculation base compensation in any year may not exceed $160,000.
The Plan provides "Normal Retirement Benefits" to participants who terminate
their employment after attaining the age of 65 or after completing five
years of accredited service with the Bank. The accrued benefit of a participant
who retires prior to age 65 is his or her normal benefit adjusted by a fraction
which represents his or her Bank employment time divided by the Bank
employment time he or she would have had by age 65. Payment options include
single life annuities and joint annuities. The Plan provides death benefits to
beneficiaries of employees who meet conditions of early retirement (age 55 and
10 years of service) prior termination of employment as follows. Non-spousal
benefit: accrued benefit at date of death paid monthly over a 10 year period.
Spousal benefit: actuarial equivalent of the non-spousal death benefit paid
either monthly over a 10 year period or a single life annuity. If employee
does not meet conditions for early retirement, a survivor annuity may be
payable, if married. The Plan does not provide a disability benefit. Mr.
Blyberg is a participant in the Plan. For purposes of the Plan, Mr. Blyberg
has four credited years of service.
The table below illustrates retirement compensation for representative
salary brackets and years of service with the Bank. 1997 maximum - social
security at age 65 = $15,912.

The foregoing table illustrates the value of retirement benefits at the
compensation levels indicated. Benefits are expressed in today's dollars.
In addition to the foregoing defined benefit pension plan, the Bank has
entered into deferred compensation agreements with certain of its executive
employees, including Mr. Blyberg, pursuant to which, subject to continued
employment with the Bank and certain other conditions, such executive employees
are entitled to receive certain retirement and disability benefits. Pursuant
to his agreement with the Bank, Mr. Blyberg is entitled to receive monthly
payments in the amount $4,152.17, for a period of ten years following the first
to occur of death or retirement after reaching the age of 65 years. Under the
terms of the agreement, Mr. Blyberg may elect to retire early after reaching
the age of 60 years, in which event he would be entitled to receive a
proportionately reduced monthly benefit. In addition to the foregoing
benefits, under the terms of the agreement, in the event that Mr. Blyberg
is permanently disabled prior to attaining the age of 65 years, he would be
entitled to receive a disability benefit in the amount of $2,000 per
month from the date of his disability until he reached the age of 65. Upon
reaching age 65, he would be entitled to receive the deferred compensation
benefit described above. The obligations of the Bank under these
deferred compensation agreements is unfunded, but the Bank has purchased
insurance contracts on the lives of all covered employees, including Mr.
Blyberg, in amounts which are estimated to be sufficient to fund all amounts
payable under the agreements.
The Bank also has entered into salary continuation agreements with certain
of its executive officers, including Mr. Blyberg, pursuant to which, should he
terminate his employment, either voluntarily or involuntarily, within three
years of a change of control or other "business combination" as defined in the
Company's bylaws, he would be entitled to receive an amount equal to the lesser
of (i) three times the total compensation paid to him in the last full fiscal
year prior to termination of his employment, less one dollar, or (ii) the
maximum amount permitted without such payment being deemed an "excessive
parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 208- g of the Internal
Revenue Code.
Neither the Bank nor the Company has a formal compensation committee. Mr.
Blyberg, in his capacity as President and Chief Executive Officer, has made
compensation recommendations to the Executive Committee of the Board of
Directors with respect to all employees, other than himself. The
recommendations were then considered by the Board of Directors, which also
formulated a compensation recommendation with respect to Mr. Blyberg. All
compensation recommendations were then considered and voted upon by the full
Board of Directors. Mr. Blyberg is a member of the Board of Directors and a
member of the Executive Committee. He has abstained from participating in
discussions or recommendations regarding his own compensation.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Board of Directors of the Bank has no formal compensation policy
applicable to compensation decisions with respect to its executive officers.
While there are no objective criteria which specifically relate corporate
performance to compensation determinations, in formulating its recommendation
with respect to compensation of Mr. Blyberg during the last fiscal year, the
Board of Directors considered, among other factors, the seniority and experience
of Mr. Blyberg and the relationship of his compensation to that of other
executive officers employed by the Bank and to persons holding comparable
positions at other similarly situated banks in Maine. In reaching its
determination as to the compensation of Mr. Blyberg, the Board of
Directors did not use any objective measure of the Bank's performance but
considered, in general, the performance of the Bank in relationship to that of
other similarly situated banks in Maine.
The forgoing report regarding compensation has been submitted by the
Board of Directors, including Douglas A. Gott, David E. Honey, Casper G.
Sargent, Jr., John V. Sawyer, II, Richard W. Whitney, Peter A. Blyberg, Robert
S. Boit, Peter A. Clapp, Sandra H. Collier, Richard W. Teele, Arthur J.
Billings, Richard C. Carver, Robert B. Fernald, Thomas R. Perkins, Stephen C.
Shea and Paul L. Tracy.
PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The following graph provides a comparison of total shareholder return on
the Common Stock of the Company with that of other comparable issuers. The
following graph illustrates the estimated yearly percentage change in the
Company's cumulative total shareholder return on its Common Stock for each of
the last five years. For purposes of comparison, the graph also illustrates
comparable shareholder return of NASDAQ banks as a group as measured by the
NASDAQ Banks Stock Index. The graph assumes a $100 investment on December 31,
1993 in the common stock of the Company and the NASDAQ banks as a group and
measures the amount by which the market value of each, assuming reinvestment of
dividends, has increased as of December 31 of each calendar year since the base
measurement point of December 31, 1993.
INSERT LINE GRAPH FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
Common Stock of the Company is not actively traded on any market, and
therefore, no market index is available for the purpose of determining the
market price of such common stock as of any particular date. The foregoing
graph is based upon a good faith determination of approximate market value for
each year indicated based on anecdotal information available to the Company as
to the value at which its common stock has traded in isolated transactions from
time to time. Therefore, although the graph represents a good faith estimate of
shareholder return as reflected by market value, the valuations utilized are,
of necessity, estimates and may not accurately reflect the actual value at
which common stock has traded in particular transactions as of
any of the dates indicated.
SELECTION OF AUDITORS
The Board recommends that the stockholders ratify its selection of
Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker as independent auditors of the Company for
1998.
Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker has assisted the Company with preparation of
periodic filings with the Security and Exchange Commission and has also assisted
the Bank with preparation of filings with the Federal Reserve Board. In
addition, Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker performed services for the Bank in
connection with the preparation of income tax filings. All services rendered
by Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker were approved by the Board of Directors,
which considered the possible effect of such services on the independence
of Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker. Management anticipates that Berry, Dunn,
McNeil & Parker will render comparable services to the Bank and the
Company in 1998.
Stockholder approval of the selection of auditors is not required, but the
Board is of the view that an expression of opinion by the stockholders as to the
appropriateness of this selection is desirable. The Board recommends that its
selection of Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker be ratified. If its selection is not
ratified, the Board will take action to appoint a different auditor. It is
expected that a representative of Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker will be present
at the Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she so
desires and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
OTHER MATTERS
Management knows of no other matters to be presented for action at the
Meeting. If any of the nominees for the office of Director become unavailable
for election or if any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the
shares represented by proxies will be voted with respect thereto in
accordance with the judgement of the person voting the proxies.
