General

      Mid-Coast Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" or "Bancorp") was incorporated for
the purpose of becoming the holding company for The Waldoboro Bank, F.S.B. (the
"Bank") a federally-chartered savings association.  The results of the Company
essentially represent the operations of the Bank.  The Bank converted to stock
form in 1989, and issued 237,500 shares of common stock at $8.00 per share. On
March 31, 1998 the Company completed a three-for-one stock split, and on
December 31, 1999 issued a 5 % stock dividend. As of June 30, 2000 the Company
had 753,727 shares outstanding.

      The Bank had total assets of $83.3 million as of June 30, 2000.  The Bank
conducts its business through an office located in Waldoboro, Maine, where it
was originally founded in 1891 as a Maine building and loan association, and
three branches located in Belfast, Jefferson and Rockland, Maine.  The Bank
received its federal charter on August 9, 1983 and its deposits are currently
insured up to applicable limits by the Savings Association Insurance Fund of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

      The Bank considers its primary market area to be located in Waldoboro,
Rockland, Belfast and Jefferson including the surrounding communities in Waldo,
Knox and Lincoln counties, Maine.

      The Bank's business strategy is to operate as a well-capitalized and
profitable community bank dedicated to financing loans secured by residential
and commercial real estate, enabling borrowers to refinance, construct or
improve property.  The Bank has implemented this strategy by:  (i) closely
monitoring the needs of customers and providing quality service; (ii)
originating residential mortgage loans, construction loans, commercial real
estate loans, consumer loans, and by offering checking accounts and other
financial services and products; (iii) focusing on expanding the volume of the
Bank's commercial real estate and commercial lending activities to serve the
needs of the small business community; and (iv) focusing on expanding the
volume of the Bank's mortgage loan servicing portfolio.

      The Company's results of operations reflects the Bank's efforts to
structure its balance sheet to expand its commercial loans, commercial real
estate loans and commercial transactional deposit relationships.  From this
strategy, the Bank anticipates its non-interest income will increase.
Waldoboro's earnings are primarily dependent upon its net interest income,
which is determined by (i) the difference between yields on interest-earning
assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities (known as the interest
rate spread) and (ii) the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities outstanding.

      The Bank and the entire financial services industry are significantly
affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as government policies and
regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs,
housing and financial institutions.  Deposit flows are influenced by a number
of factors including interest rates on money market funds and other competing
investments, account maturities and levels of personal income and savings.
Lending activities are influenced by, among other things, the demand for and
supply of housing, conditions in the construction industry and the availability
and cost of funds, and loan refinancing in response to declining interest
rates.  Sources of funds for lending activities include deposits, loan
payments, proceeds from sales of loans and investments, investment returns and
borrowings.

      Mid-Coast Bancorp, Inc. is headquartered at 1768 Atlantic Highway in
Waldoboro, Maine, (207) 832-7521.  The Company's stock trades on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market under the symbol "MCBN."


Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000

      Total assets increased $794,992  or 1.0% to $83.3 million at June 30,
2000 from $82.5 million at March 31, 2000.  The growth in assets is primarily
due to an increase in deposits, which were used to fund the purchase of
investments, originate loans and reduce Advances from the FHLB.

      Total loans, including loans held for sale, increased $2.3 million, or
3.7%, from $62.4 million to $64.7 million at June 30, 2000.

      The following table shows loans held for sale and loans at June 30, 2000
and March 31, 2000, the net change and the percentage of change:

                                      =======================================================
</TABLE>


      The growth in Real estate mortgage loans has been primarily a result of
a positive economic climate in the Bank's market area and active solicitation
of the business by the Bank's lending team.

      Cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.7 million or 22.2%. The decrease
was primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease in Federal funds sold which was
used to fund loan originations. Investments, including Time deposits,
increased $100,502 or 1.0% to $10.4 million at June 30, 2000.

      Total other assets increased $122,904 or 10.6%. The increase is net of
a $175,195 decrease in Real estate owned/other repo assets due to a sale of
an OREO property, and a $298,099 increase in other assets due primarily to
$220,000 of prepaid expenses relating to the pending merger ( see note 6 to
the financial statements).

      At June 30, 2000, total liabilities increased $721,604 or 0.9% to $77.6
million.  Demand deposits (non-interest bearing deposits) decreased $18,950 or
0.5%, NOW, Savings and Money Market accounts decreased $779,802 or 3.3%, and
Certificates of Deposit increased $2.4 million or 7.4%. The increase in
Certificates of deposit resulted from a special CD offering during the quarter.

      Total Stockholders' Equity increased $73,389 to $5.7 million at June 30,
2000.  The increase in equity is primarily attributable to net income of
$133,020 which is partially offset by the payment of cash dividends of
$74,409.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses

      At June 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000  total loans contractually past due
90 days or more amounted to $558,637 or 0.87% of loans and $131,587 or 0.21%,
respectively. This increase is related to five loans. One loan with an
outstanding balance of approximately $250,000 is 75% guaranteed by the Small
Business Administration and the four loans amounting to approximately $271,000
are secured by residential real estate.  At June 30, 2000, the Bank had $27,232
of accruing loans which were 90 days or more delinquent as compared to $13,222
at March 31, 2000.

      The accrual of interest income is discontinued when a loan becomes
delinquent and in management's opinion is deemed uncollectible in whole or in
part as to principal and/or interest.  In these cases, interest on such loans
is recognized only when received.  It is the policy of the Bank to generally
place all loans that are 90 days or more past due on nonaccrual status, unless
in management's judgment the loan is well secured and in the process of
collection.

      Total non-performing assets, including real estate owned/other repossed
assets, totaled $563,442 or 0.68% of total assets at June 30, 2000 compared to
$311,587 or 0.38% at March 31, 2000.

      The allowance for loan losses amounted to $507,024 at June 30, 2000
compared to $482,359 at March 31, 2000.  The increase in allowance for loan
losses is primarily due to the current periodic provision for loan losses of
$22,000 and net recoveries of $2,665. The Bank's allowance for loan losses as
a percentage of total loans was 0.79% at June 30, 2000.

Asset/Liability Management

      The goal of the Bank's asset/liability policy is to manage its exposure
to interest rate risk.  The principal focus of the Bank's strategy has been
to reduce its exposure to interest rate fluctuations by matching more closely
the effective maturities and repricing dates of its assets and liabilities.
Currently the Bank's liabilities are more rate sensitive than its assets.  As
such, the Bank has concentrated on maintaining a high percentage of
adjustable rate loans in its residential, commercial, and commercial real
estate portfolios.  In addition, the Bank utilizes Federal Home Loan Bank
advances to control the repricing of a segment of its liabilities.

      At June 30, 2000, the adjustable rate loans in the residential mortgage
loan portfolio totaled $30.1 million or 71.6% and adjustable rate loans in
the commercial loan portfolio totaled $11.1 million or 81.1%. The Bank's
strategy regarding liabilities is to attempt to restructure its deposits by
increasing NOW and savings accounts and decreasing certificates of deposit.
Certificates of deposit represent $34.2 million or 55.9% of the Bank's
deposits at June 30, 2000 as compared to $31.8 million or 53.4% at March 31,
2000

      Typically, in a rising interest rate environment, the Bank's interest
rate spread would decrease because liabilities would be repricing faster than
assets for the same period.  In contrast, in a declining rate environment,
the spread would increase resulting in a positive affect on the Bank's net
interest income. However, many of the Bank's interest bearing liabilities
have no stated maturity date and therefore interest rate changes on such
deposit products are more subject to control by management. With this in
mind, management allows for an asset/liability position in which liabilities
are more rate sensitive than the assets, within limits established by the
Bank's Asset/Liability Committee.


                            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999

Net Income

      Mid-Coast recorded net income of $133,020 or $0.18 per share for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $124,453 or $0.17 per share for
the three months ended June 30, 1999.

      The 6.9% increase in net income has resulted from increases to net
interest income, increases in fee income, a modest increase in provision for
loan losses and increases in other expenses and income taxes. Discussion of all
of these components follows.


Interest Income

      Total interest income amounted to $1,580,958 an increase of $241,422 or
18.0%. The increases in total interest income are attributable to the growth in
interest earning assets, primarily loans.

      Interest income on Investments and mortgage backed securities increased
$81,442 or 53.7% primarily due to a $3.3 million increase in the average
balance outstanding.

      Interest income on loans increased $159,980 or 13.5% primarily due to a
$6.2 million or 10.8% increase in the average balance outstanding. The average
yield on loans increased to 8.51% from 8.31%, a result of the Bank's emphasis
on adjustable rate loans.

      The following table shows total interest earning assets, and the
percentage of total interest earning assets to total assets at the dates
indicated:

</TABLE>


Interest Expense

      Total interest expense amounted to $871,344, an increase of $182,270 or
26.5%, due primarily to a $10.9 million or 16.6% increase in the average
outstanding balances of deposits and borrowings and an increase in the interest
rates paid on deposits and borrowings.

</TABLE>


Net Interest Income

      As a result of increases in total interest income offset by a lesser
increase in total interest expense, net interest income amounted to $709,614,
an increase of $59,152 or 9.1%. As a percentage of average earning assets, net
interest income decreased to 3.58% from 3.82%, for the three months ended June
30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

      Changes in net interest income occur from volume changes in interest
earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the mix of these components,
and changes in interest rates. Loans, the primary component of interest earning
assets, are comprised of products having fixed rates of interest over the life
of the loan and variable rates of interest that change periodically as changes
in the prime lending rate and other indices change. As of June 30, 2000,
approximately $44.2 million or 68.4% of total loans had adjustable rates of
interest.

Provisions for Loan Losses

      The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan
losses based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan
portfolio and the general economy.  Such evaluation considers numerous factors
including general economic conditions, loan portfolio compositions, prior loss
experience, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral and other
factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss
allowance.  The Bank's provision for loan losses amounted to $22,000, an
increase of $3,000 or 15.8%. This increase is related to the growth in
commercial and commercial real estate loans.

Non Interest Income

      Total non interest income amounted to $109,734, a decrease of $2,930 or
2.6%. This decrease is attributable to a $8,828 or 14.5% increase in deposit
account fees, due to an increase in the number of accounts,a $2,497 or 16.4%
increase in loan servicing related fees, and a $7,891 increase in other
noninterest income, offset by a $22,146 or 67.0% decrease in gain on sale of
loans due to lower loan sales volume.

Non Interest Expenses

      Total non interest expenses  amounted to $585,493, an increase of $25,568
or 4.6%. This increase is the net effect of an $8,786 or 3.4% increase in
compensation related expenses (including benefits), a $8,022 or 17.0% increase
in professional fees, primarily for corporate planning relating to the pending
merger, and an $8,760 or 3.5% increase in all other operating expenses.

Income Tax Expense

      Income tax expense increased $19,087 or 31.9% primarily as a result of
the increase in pretax income from operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      On June 30, 2000, the Holding Company's stockholders' equity was
$5,700,052 or 6.85% of total assets compared to $5,626,663 or 6.82% at March
31, 2000.

      The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") requires savings institutions
such as Waldoboro to maintain a specified ratio of cash and short-term
investment securities to new withdrawal deposits and borrowings with maturities
of one year or less.  This minimum OTS required liquidity ratio is currently
4%.  This rate may vary from time to time, depending upon general economic
conditions and deposit flows.  As a part of its asset/liability management
program, Waldoboro has historically maintained liquidity in excess of
regulatory requirements to better match its short-term liabilities.  At June
30, 2000, Waldoboro's liquid assets amounted to $11,479,546, resulting in a
liquidity ratio of 17.28%, compared to 11.94%. Historically, the bank maintains
a liquidity ratio of approximately 15%.

      The minimum capital standards set by the OTS have three components: (1)
tangible capital; (2) leverage ratio or "core" capital; and (3) risk-based
capital.  The tangible capital requirement is 1.5% and the leverage ratio or
"core" capital requirement is 3% of an institution's adjusted total assets.
The risk-based capital requirement is 8% of risk-weighted assets.  The
institution is also subject to the capital requirements outlined under the FDIC
Improvement Act that requires Tier 1 (Core) Capital of 4.0%.  The amount of an
institution's risk-weighted assets is determined by assigning a "risk-weighted"
value to each of the institution's assets.  Under the regulations, the "risk-
weighting" of a particular type of assets depends upon the degree of credit
risk that is deemed to be associated with that type of asset.

      At June 30, 2000, Waldoboro had tangible capital of $5,763,000 or 6.9% of
adjusted total assets, which exceeds the minimum required tangible capital and
leverage ratio or "core" capital requirements. At March 31, 2000 tangible
capital amounted to $5,624,000 which was 6.8% of adjusted total assets.
