Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION & RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


EARNINGS SUMMARY

     Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $1,028,000, an 
increase of 3.6% over 1998's net income of $992,000.

     Earnings growth for the first three months of 1999 has been at a lower 
rate than in the past three years due to several factors. The Bank's operating 
expenses have increased as a result of opening two new branches in Rockport, 
Maine and Camden, Maine. At the same time, the Bank's operating margins have 
been compressed as a result of increased competition and the current interest 
rate environment with a yield curve that has been ralatively flat. It is 
Management's opinion that neither of these factors will have a significant 
negative impact on the long-term operating results of the Company.

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was 
$2,786,000, a 4.5% increase over 1998's net interest income of $2,666,000.  
Total interest income of $5,410,000 is a 3.9% increase over 1998's total 
interest income of $5,204,000.  Total interest expense of $2,623,000 is a 3.3% 
increase over 1998's total interest expense of $2,538,000.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     A $90,000 provision to the allowance for loan losses was made during the 
first three months of 1999.  The allowance for loan losses is deemed adequate 
as calculated in accordance with Banking Circular #201 and with respect to SFAS 
114/118.  Loans considered to be impaired according to SFAS 114/118 totalled 
$526,000 at March 31, 1999.  The portion of the allowance for loan losses 
allocated to impaired loans at March 31, 1999 was $260,000.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

     Non-interest income was $539,000 for the three months ended March 31, 
1999.  This is an increase of 29.8% from 1998's non-interest income of 
$415,000, and was due to strong mortgage origination and merchant credit card 
income, as well as fiduciary income.


NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

     Non-interest expense of $1,769,000 for the three months ended March 31, 
1999 is an increase of 9.5% from 1998's non-interest expense of $1,616,000.  
This increase has been primarily due to the Bank's increased number of offices 
noted above.

INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes on operating earnings increased to $438,000 for the first 
three months of 1998 from $428,000 for the same period a year ago. Due to the 
Company's increased holdings of tax-exempt securities, the increase in income 
taxes was very small.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION CONT.

DEPOSITS AND BORROWED FUNDS

     Deposits as of March 31, 1999 decreased by 2.4% or $4.9 million from 
December 31, 1998.  Demand deposits decreased by 14.3% or $2.5 million, NOW 
accounts decreased by 4.6% or $1.5 million, savings deposits decreased by 1.5% 
or $0.6 million, money market deposits decreased by 19.5% or $1.9 million and 
certificates of deposit increased by 1.6% or $1.6 million. These decreases are 
normal for the seasonal deposit flow that Management anticipates in the first 
quarter of the year.

     Deposits were supplemented by borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank 
and repurchase agreements.  Due to strong asset growth, total borrowed funds 
increased by 40.2% or $21.9 million from December 31, 1998.

STOCKHOLDERS' INVESTMENT AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Stockholders' investment as of March 31, 1999 was $29,373,000 compared to 
$26,772,000 for the same period in 1998.  The reason for this increase was the 
strong earnings performance in the preceeding 12 months.

     During 1998, the Company increased its dividend each quarter to end the 
year at a quarterly dividend rate of 10 cents per share.  In addition, a 
special cash dividend of 5 cents per share was declared in the fourth quarter 
of 1998. In 1999, a cash dividend of 11 cents per share was declared in the 
first quarter.

     Leverage capital ratios for the Company were 9.64% and 9.86%, 
respectively, at March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998.  The Bank had a tier one 
risk-based capital ratio of 14.00% and tier two risk-based capital ratio of 
15.00% at March 31, 1999, compared to 14.50% and 15.51%, respectively, at March 
31, 1998.  These were comfortably above the standards to be rated "well-
capitalized" by the regulatory authorities.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

     As of March 31, 1999 the Bank had primary sources of liquidity of $63.0 
million, or 20.8% of its assets.  It is Management's opinion that this is 
adequate.  In its Asset/Liability policy, the Bank has adopted guidelines for 
liquidity.

     The Company is not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory 
authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect 
on the Corporation's liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.

INVESTMENTS

As of March 31, 1999 stockholders' equity was decreased by $91,000 due to a net 
unrealized loss in the available-for-sale portfolio.

LOAN POLICIES

     Real estate values:

A.  Residential properties  We loan up to 80% of the appraised value of 
properties without mortgage insurance and up to 95% of the appraised value of 
properties with mortgage insurance.  No further appraisals are done as long as 
the payment history remains satisfactory.  If a loan becomes delinquent, a 
review might be done of the loan. When a loan becomes 90 or more days past due, 
an in-depth review is made of the loan and a determination made as to whether 
or not a reappraisal is required.

B.  Land only properties  We do not have many of these but we do loan up to 65% 
of the appraised value of the property.  They are handled the same way as above 
from booking date on.

C.  Commercial properties  We loan up to 75% of the appraised value and, once 
the loan is closed, the decision to re-appraise a property is subjective and 
depends on a variety of factors, such as:  the payment status of the loan, the 
risk rating of the loan, the amount of time that has passed since the last 
appraisal, changes in the real estate market, availability of financing, 
inventory of competing properties, and changes in condition of the property 
i.e. zoning changes, environmental contamination, etc. A certified or licensed 
appraiser is used for all appraisals.

     At March 31, 1999 and 1998, loans on a non-accrual status totaled $939,000 
and $448,000, respectively.  In addition to loans on a non-accrual status at 
March 31, 1999 and 1998, loans past due greater than 90 days totaled $286,000 
and $271,000 respectively.  The Company continues to accrue interest on these 
loans because it believes collection of the interest is reasonably assured.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     No material off-balance sheet risk exists that requires a separate 
liability presentation.

SALE OF LOANS

No recourse obligations have been incurred in connection with the sale of 
loans.

RISK ELEMENTS
     Any loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, 
substandard, or special mention that have not been disclosed under Item III of 
Industry Guide 3 do not represent or result from trends or uncertainties which 
Management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, 
liquidity or capital resources.
     There are no known potential problem loans which are not now disclosed 
pursuant to Item III. C. 1. of Industry Guide 3.  Item III. C. 2. is not 
applicable.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION CONT.

REGULATORY MATTERS

     Procedures for monitoring Bank Loan Administration:

A. Loan reviews are done on a regular basis.

B. An action plan is prepared quarterly on all classified commercial loans 
greater than $100,000, and semi-annually on all criticized loans greater than 
$100,000.

C. Delinquent loans are reviewed weekly by the Bank's Collections Officer and 
Senior Loan Officer.

D. A tickler system is utilized to insure timely receipt of current information 
(such as financial statements, appraisals and/or credit memos to the credit 
file).

Note:  Most of the above applies only to commercial loans, but retail loans are 
reviewed periodically, usually around a delinquency.

     Procedures for monitoring Bank Other Real Estate Owned:

The O.R.E.O. portfolio is handled by the Collections Officer, with backup
by the Senior Loan Officer.  Most properties are listed with real estate 
brokers for sale.  All properties are appraised periodically for market value, 
and provision is made to the allowance for O.R.E.O. losses if the estimated 
market value after selling costs is lower than the carrying value of the 
property.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting 
For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and is effective for fiscal 
years beginning after June 15, 1999.  Management has not determined the impact 
of SFAS No. 133 on the financial statements.

YEAR 2000 READINESS

With the year 2000 approaching, all businesses and governments are facing the 
challenge of assessing and preparing their computer systems to handle dates 
beyond 1999. First National Lincoln Corporation and its subsidiary, The First 
National Bank of Damariscotta, have taken steps to address the many issues 
related to the transition to the next century. The Bank's actions with regard 
to Year 2000 compliance are reviewed by the Board of Directors, its internal 
audit department, and its Federal Regulators.
     The awareness phase of the Company's Year 2000 readiness began with the 
creation of a Year 2000 Task Force, overseen by the Board of Directors, which 
includes top management and staff from each division. It has been working since 
the summer of 1997 towards full Year 2000 compliance.
     From this, the Company began its assessment phase, during which a Year 
2000 Plan was formulated to direct and coordinate activities related to Year 
2000 preparedness. Development of this plan began with an examination of all 
internal systems and identification of those which are considered "mission-
critical" and requiring the highest priority in evaluation and remediation.
This process included not only computer hardware and software, but also non-
information-technology systems, such as alarms and heating control systems. 

Page 11
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION CONT.

From this evaluation, the scope of the Year 2000 remediation project was 
developed and target dates were set for any necessary systems changes. A test 
plan was also developed for the testing of all mission-critical systems. The 
assessment phase of the project was complete in the first quarter of 1998.
     The major project in the remediation phase was the acquisition of a new 
core banking system which became operational in the third quarter of 1998. The 
system has been certified by the vendor as Year 2000 compliant and offers many 
features which Management believes will enhance customer service. In addition, 
several stand-alone hardware and software systems have been upgraded or 
replaced.
     At March 31, 1999, the Company was, in Management's opinion, on track with 
its timelines for completion of its Year 2000 plan. At that point virtually all 
hardware and software changes required in the remediation phase were complete 
and operational, and the testing required in the validation phase of the plan 
was substantially complete. Only one third-party interface remained to be 
tested, which is expected by be complete in the second quarter of 1999.
     The estimated cost to address Year 2000 issues is approximately $1 
million. This includes $400,000 for the purchase of hardware and software for 
the new core banking system, $250,000 for new personal computers and networking 
hardware, and $50,000 for new telephone equipment. The purchase of new hardware 
and personal computers, although required for operation of the new core banking 
system, is part of the Bank's planned upgrade of computers. The phone system is 
a more modern system that is being installed irrespective of Year 2000 issues, 
but has been certified by the vendor as Year 2000 compliant. Almost all of 
these expenditures have been incurred and will be amortized over a three-to-
five year period.
     In addition to hardware and software, the above-mentioned estimated total 
cost includes a human-resources allocation of $300,000 which has been or will 
be expensed as incurred. Of this, it is estimated that only $25,000 will be an 
incremental expense, which will include summer college students, overtime for 
existing personnel, and outside support. The remaining $275,000 is an 
allocation of existing human resources to effectively implement and bring to a 
successful conclusion the Year 2000 Plan.
     Externally, both business relationships and significant counterparties 
have been evaluated for their state of Year 2000 preparedness. The Company has 
verified that all key vendors, suppliers and other business partners will be 
ready for Year 2000, and has created a team to work with bank customers to 
assess their Year 2000 awareness and readiness.
     At this time, it is Management's opinion that the Company's major Year 
2000 risks are primarily related to key counterparties which are beyond the 
Company's control. The two most significant counterparties are U.S. Government 
Agencies -- the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank -- upon 
which the Company is dependent for liquidity and funds transfer needs. The 
Company has begun and will continue to closely monitor the Year 2000 
preparation and readiness of both agencies.
     The Company has developed contingency plans for all mission critical 
systems. These plans include identification of alternative resources and/or 
vendors as well as specific trigger dates for action and implementation. Since 
the Company's primary business is providing traditional banking services, the 
creation of additional liquidity capacity to meet the potential needs of its 
customers and communities is a key part of contingency planning. A separate 
liquidity contingency plan will be finalized by the end of the second quarter 
of 1999.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION CONT.

     With Year 2000 assessment, remediation and validation now nearly complete, 
in Management's opinion the worst-case scenario the Company envisions involves 
electric power and telecommunication interruptions. For electric power, the 
Company is currently installing a back-up generator for its operations 
facility. While no formal plans are in place to address telecommunication 
disruptions, in Management's opinion this is not a significant issue due to the 
general state of preparedness of the telecommunications industry.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Certain disclosures in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations contain certain forward-looking statements 
(as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). In 
preparing these disclosures, Management must make assumptions, including, but 
not limited to, the level of future interest rates, prepayments on loans and 
investment securities, required levels of capital, needs for liquidity, and the 
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. These forward-looking statements may 
be subject to significant known and unknown risks uncertainties, and other 
factors, including, but not limited to, those matters referred to in the 
preceding sentence.
     Although First National Lincoln Corporation believes that the expectations 
reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may 
differ materially from the results discussed in these forward-looking 
statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward 
looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company 
undertakes no obligation to republish revised forward-looking statements to 
reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the 
occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are also urged to carefully review 
and consider the various disclosures made by the Company which attempt to 
advise interested parties of the facts which affect the Company's business.
