                        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 June 30, 2000, and for the
three-month and six-month periods 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 June 30, 2000, and
December 31, 1999, the consolidated statements of income for the six and three
months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income for the six and three months ended June 30, 2000 and June
30, 1999 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, and June 30, 1999.  All significant intercompany transactions and
balances are eliminated in consolidation.  The income reported for the period
ended June 30, 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:

FINANCIAL CONDITION

During the first six months of 2000, consolidated assets increased by $73.4
million, or 7.9% to $1.0 billion. This increase was the result of an increase in
the loan portfolio, including residential mortgages held for sale, of $54.3
million or 8.5% and an increase in the investment portfolio of $4.5 million or
1.9%.  The increase in loans can be attributed to strong loan demand during the
first six months of 2000.  Additions were made to the investment portfolio
during the first few months 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 represent the Company's primary
source of funds.  Since December 31, 1999, deposits have increased by $9.1
million.  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 $60.7 million or 34.9% 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 six months of 2000, $1,288,000
was added to the reserve for loan losses based upon the expansion of the loan
portfolio, resulting in an allowance of $10.6 million, or 1.54%, 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 June 30,
2000, of 10.6% and 11.9%, 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 Corporation declared dividends in the
aggregate amount of $2.5 million and $5.6 million in the first six months of
2000 and 1999, respectively.  During the first six months of 2000, the dividends
declared by Camden National Bank included $1.1 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 six months of 2000 and $92,000 payable to
shareholders during the first six months of 1999.

                                                                         Page 13

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $6.5 million, an increase
of $344,000 or 5.6% from 1999's first six month's net income of $6.2 million.
For the three months ended June 30, 2000, net income was $3.3 million an
increase of $211,000 or 6.8%, compared to $3.1 million for the same period in
1999. 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 six months
ended June 30, 2000 was $19.9 million, a 3.1% or $0.6 million increase over the
net interest income for the first six months of 1999 of $19.3 million.  Net
interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 was $9.9 million, a 1.2% or $122,000 increase over the net
interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for the three months ended
June 30, 1999.  Interest income on loans increased by $3.4 million, or 12.9% and
$1.8 million, or 13.6% during the six and three month periods compared to the
same periods of 1999, respectively.  This increase was due to the increase in
loan volume as well as the increase in yields, from 8.91% during the first six
months of 1999 to 9.04% during the first six months of 2000.  The Company also
experienced an increase in interest income on investments during the first six
months of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999 due to increased volume as
well as an increase in yields.  The Company's net interest expense on deposits
and borrowings increased during the first six months of 2000 compared to the
same period in 1999.  This majority of this increase was the result of increased
volumes in the majority of the categories.  The Company also saw an increase in
the cost of short-term borrowings, from 4.84% during the first six months of
1999 to 6.01% during the first six months of 2000.

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 10-12 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 six months ended June
30, 2000 and 1999.  The second of these tables presents average assets,
liabilities and stockholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999.  The third table presents an analysis of volume and rate change on net
interest income and expense from June 30, 1999 to June 30, 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 $14,000 during the first six months of 2000 compared to
an increase of $5,000 in the first six months of 1999.  During the three month
periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the decrease to net interest income was
$10,000 and $2,000 respectively.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Total noninterest income increased by $523,000 or 14.5% in the first six months
of 2000 compared to the first six months of 1999.  Service charges on deposit
accounts increased $73,000 or 5.2% for the first six months of 2000 compared to
1999.  Other service charges and fees increased by $223,000 or 18.4% in the
first six 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 $227,000 or 22.5% in the first six months of 2000 compared to 1999.
The major reason for this increase in other income was an increase in trust
fees.

Total noninterest income increased by $288,000 or 15.3% in the three months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999.  Service
charges on deposit accounts increased $30,000 or 4.1% for the second quarter of
2000 compared to 1999.  Other service charges and fees increased by $108,000 or
15.9% in the second quarter of 2000 compared to 1999.  The largest contributing
factor to this increase was the fee income generated by merchant assessments.
Other income increased by $150,000 or 31.9% in the second quarter of 2000
compared to 1999.  The major reason for this increase in other income was an
increase in trust fees.

                                                                         Page 14

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Total noninterest expense increased by $867,000 or 7.1% in the first six months
of 2000 compared to the first six months of 1999.  Salaries and employee
benefits cost decreased by $40,000 or 0.6% in the first six months of 2000
compared to 1999.  This decrease was the result of reductions in staff due to
the merger of United Bank and Kingfield Savings Bank.  Other operating expenses
increased by $912,000 or 22.8%.  A contributing factor for this increase was the
expense incurred to merge United Bank and Kingfield Savings Bank into one new
bank during the first quarter.  The Company also experienced increases in credit
card, data processing, and various other general operating expenses.

Total noninterest expense increased by $303,000 or 4.9% in the three months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999.  Salaries
and employee benefits cost decreased by $93,000 or 2.9% in the second quarter of
2000 compared to 1999.  This decrease was the result of reductions in staff due
to the merger of United Bank and Kingfield Savings Bank.  Other operating
expenses increased by $571,000 or 29.8%.  The Company experienced increases in
credit card, data processing, and various other general operating expenses.


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

                                                                         Page 15
<PAGE>

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 second quarter of 2000.

                               Estimated
          Rate Change       Changes in NII

          +200bp                 (6.01%)
          -200bp                  4.63%

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.
The Board of Directors' approved hedging policy statements govern the use of
these instruments by the bank subsidiaries. All off-balance sheet positions are
reviewed as part of the asset/liability management process at least quarterly.
The instruments are factored into the Company's overall interest rate risk
position.  As of June 30, 2000, the Company had a notional principal of $10
million in an interest rate swap agreement and $10 million in floor contracts.
The Company uses interest rate swaps and floor instruments to hedge against
potentially lower yields on the variable prime rate loan category in a declining
rate in environment  If rates were to decline, resulting in reduced income on
the adjustable rate loans, there would be an increase income flow from the
interest rate swap and floor instruments.  The interest rate swap matures in
2004.  The floor contract has a strike rate of 6% and matures in 2005.

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,
