The Shareholders and Board of Directors
Camden National Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated financial information of
Camden National Corporation as of March 31, 2000, and for the three-month period
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.

We conducted our review 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
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 review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 generally accepted accounting principles 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 March 31, 2000,
and December 31, 1999, the consolidated statements of income for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999, the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and March 31,
1999 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, and March 31, 1999. All significant intercompany transactions
and balances are eliminated in consolidation. The income reported for the period
ended March 31, 2000 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the full year.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share data is computed based on the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during each year. Potential common stock is
considered in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for diluted
earnings per share.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share:

            ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor"
for forward-looking statements. Certain information contained in this report,
including the information incorporated by reference in this report, are or may
be considered as forward-looking. Forward-looking statements relate to the
future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments, and
contain words or phrases such as "may," "expects," "should" or similar
expressions. Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions
that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive
uncertainties, many of which are beyond Camden's control or are subject to
change.

Inherent in Camden's business are certain risks and uncertainties. Therefore,
Camden cautions the reader that revenues and income could differ materially from
those expected to occur depending on factors such as general economic conditions
including changes in interest rates and the performance of financial markets,
changes in domestic and foreign laws, regulations and taxes, competition,
industry consolidation, credit risks and other factors. Other factors that could
cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to,
variances in the actual versus projected growth in assets, return on assets,
loan losses, expenses, rates charged on loans and earned on investment
securities, rates paid on deposits, competitive effects, fee and other
noninterest income earned, as well as other factors. Camden disclaims any
obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether
as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.

                                                                         Page 10

FINANCIAL CONDITION

During the first three months of 2000, consolidated assets increased by $44.7
million, or 4.8% to $973.0 million. This increase was the result of an increase
in the loan portfolio, including residential mortgages held for sale, of $23.6
million or 3.7% and an increase in the investment portfolio of $3.3 million or
1.4%. The increase in loans can be attributed to strong loan demand during the
first three months of 2000. Additions were made to the investment portfolio
during the first quarter of 2000, taking advantage of a steeper yield curve than
in prior periods.

The liquidity needs of the Company's financial institution subsidiaries require
the availability of cash to meet the withdrawal demands of depositors and the
credit commitments to borrowers. Deposits still represent the Company's primary
source of funds. Since December 31, 1999, deposits have remained relatively
level, increasing by $0.2 million. During the first quarter of 2000, the
Company's deposits experienced the normal seasonal decline in transaction
accounts (DDA's and NOW's). Both of the Company's banking subsidiaries continue
to experience substantial competition for deposits. Therefore, other funding
sources continue to be pursued and utilized. Borrowings provide liquidity in the
form of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase,
treasury, tax and loan accounts, and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Total borrowings have increased by $41.4 million or 23.8% since December 31,
1999. Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advances remain the largest
nondeposit-related interest-bearing funding source for the Company. These
borrowings are secured by qualified residential real estate loans, certain
investment securities and certain other assets available to be pledged. The
Company views borrowed funds as a reasonably priced alternative funding source
that should be utilized.

In determining the adequacy of the loan loss allowance, management relies
primarily on its review of the loan portfolio both to ascertain if there are any
probable losses to be written off, and to assess the loan portfolio in the
aggregate. Nonperforming loans are examined on an individual basis to determine
estimated probable loss. In addition, management considers current and projected
loan mix and loan volumes, historical net loan loss experience for each loan
category, and current and anticipated 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 allowance for loan losses as
conditions dictate. During the first three months of 2000, $644,000 was added to
the reserve for loan losses based upon the expansion of the loan portfolio,
resulting in an allowance of $10.1 million, or 1.53%, of total loans
outstanding. Management believes that this allowance is 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
eight percent, of which at least four percent must be in the form of core
capital. The Company's Tier 1 and total risk based capital ratios at March 31,
2000, of 10.8% and 12.0%, respectively, exceed regulatory guidelines. The
Company's Tier1 and total risk based capital ratios at December 31, 1999 were
11.7% and 13.0%, respectively.

The principal cash requirement of the Company is the payment of dividends on
common stock when declared. The Company is primarily dependent upon the payment
of cash dividends by its subsidiary banks to service its commitments. The
Company, as the sole shareholder of its subsidiary banks, is entitled to
dividends when and as declared by each bank's Board of Directors from legally
available funds. Camden National Bank declared dividends in the aggregate amount
of $2.6 million and $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2000 and 1999,
respectively. During the first quarter of 2000, the dividends declared by Camden
National Bank included $1.2 million related to payments to shareholders of
Camden National Corporation and $1.4 million related to contributions of capital
by Camden National Bank to equalize the capital of the two subsidiary banks for
the year 2000. UnitedKingfield Bank declared no dividends during the first
quarter of 2000 and $92,000 payable to shareholders during the first quarter of
1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $3.2 million, an
increase of $133,000 or 4.3% from 1999's first three month's net income of $3.1
million. The major contributing factor was the increase in loans, which resulted
in an increase in net interest income.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 was $10.0 million, a 5.0% or $0.5 million increase over the
net interest income for the first three months of 1999 of $9.5 million. Interest
income on loans increased by $1.6 million, or 12.3%. This increase was due to
the increase in loan volume as well as the increase in yields, from 8.92% during
the first three months of 1999 to 9.01% during the first three months of 2000.
The Company also experienced an increase in interest income on investments
during the first three months of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999 due to
increased volume. The Company's net interest expense on deposits and borrowings
increased during the first three months of 2000 compared to the same period in
1999. This increase was the result of increased volumes in the majority of the
categories.

The Analysis of Change in Net Interest Margin, the Average Daily Balance Sheets,
and the Analysis of Volume and Rate Changes on Net Interest Income and Expenses
are provided on pages 8-10 of this report to enable the reader to understand the
components of the Company's interest income and expenses. The first table
provides an analysis of changes in net interest margin on earnings assets;
interest income earned and interest expense paid and average rates earned and
paid; and net interest margin on earning assets for the three months ended March
31, 2000 and 1999. The second of these tables presents average assets,
liabilities and stockholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999. The third table presents an analysis of volume and rate change on net
interest income and expense from March 31, 1999 to March 31, 2000.

The Company utilizes off-balance sheet instruments such as interest rate swap
agreements that have an effect on net interest income. There was an increase in
net interest income of $24,000 during the first three months of 2000 compared to
an increase of $7,000 in the first three months of 1999.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Total noninterest income increased by $235,000 or 13.5% in the first three
months of 2000 compared to the first three months of 1999. Service charges on
deposit accounts increased $43,000 or 6.5% for the first three months of 2000
compared to 1999. Other service charges and fees increased by $115,000 or 21.5%
in the first three months of 2000 compared to 1999. The largest contributing
factor to this increase was the fee income generated by merchant assessments.
Other income increased by $77,000, or 14.3% in the first three months of 2000
compared to 1999. The major reason for this increase in other income was an
increase in trust fees.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Total noninterest expenses increased by $564,000 or 9.4% in the first three
months of 2000 compared to the first three months of 1999. Salaries and employee
benefits cost increased by $53,000 or 1.7% in the first three months of 2000
compared to 1999. This increase was the result of normal annual increases,
additions to staff and higher pension benefit costs. Other operating expenses
increased by $341,000 or 16.7%. The major contributing factor for this increase
was the costs related to the merging of United Bank and Kingfield Savings

                                                                         Page 12

Bank into one new bank. The Company experienced increases in premises and fixed
assets, credit card expenses, data processing, and amortization of deposit
premium and various other general operating expenses. The amortization of
deposit premium of $82,000 was recorded in 2000, which was the result of
branches acquired in 1998.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto presented
elsewhere herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles 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.

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 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 bank subsidiaries'
Boards of Directors that are reviewed and approved annually. Each bank's Board
of Directors delegates responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability
management policies to that bank's Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO"). In this
capacity 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.

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. ALCO utilizes the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model
to quantify the estimated exposure of NII to sustained interest rate changes.
While ALCO routinely monitors simulated NII sensitivity over a rolling two-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 off-balance sheet 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 one-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet
growth, given both a 200 basis point (bp) upward and downward shift in 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 first quarter 2000.

                                                  Estimated
               Rate Change                      Changes in NII
                                    High             Low            Average

               +200bp             (3.61%)         (3.69%)           (3.45%)
               -200bp              1.96%           2.02%             4.32%

                                                                         Page 13

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
cashflows. The assumptions differed in each of the four periods included in the
sensitivity analysis above. 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.

When appropriate, the Company may utilize off-balance sheet instruments such as
interest rate floors, caps and swaps to hedge its interest rate risk position.
Board of Directors' approved hedging policy statements govern the use of these
instruments by the bank subsidiaries. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had a
notional principal of $10 million in an interest rate swap agreement. The
estimated effects of these derivative financial instruments on the Company's
earnings are included in the sensitivity analysis presented above.

ALCO monitors the effectiveness of its derivative hedges relative to its
expectation that a high correlation be maintained between the hedging instrument
and the related hedged assets/liabilities. All outstanding positions are
estimated to remain effective.

While it is not the Company's practice to unwind derivative hedges prior to
their maturity, any recognized gains/losses would be deferred in the Statement
of Condition and amortized to interest income or expense, as required, over the
remaining period of the original hedge. To the extent that a hedge were to be
deemed ineffective due to a lack of correlation with the hedged items or if the
hedged items were to be settled/terminated prior to maturity of the hedging
instrument, then unrecognized gains/losses associated with the hedging
instrument would be recognized in the income statement with subsequent accruals
and gains/losses also included in the consolidated income statement in the
period they occur.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

During 1999, the financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 134,
"Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained After the Securitization of
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise;" SFAS No. 135,
"Rescission of FASB Statement No. 75 and Technical Corrections;" SFAS No. 136,
"Transfers of Assets to a Not-For-Profit Organization of Charitable Trust that
Raises or Holds Contributions for Others;" and SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date
of SFAS No. 133."

SFAS No. 134, 135 and 136 have no effect on the financial condition and results
of operations of the Company.

SFAS No. 133, which established accounting reporting standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging activity, was amended by SFAS No. 137. SFAS No. 137
defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to all fiscal quarters of all fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management has not determined the impact,
if any, of SFAS No. 133 on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

                                                                         Page 14
