                   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-QSB 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  balance
sheets of KSB Bancorp,  Inc.,  (the  "Company") and Kingfield  Savings Bank (the
"Bank"),  as of June 30,1999 and December 31, 1998, the consolidated  statements
of income for the three and six months ended June 30,1999 and June 30, 1998, and
the consolidated  statements of stockholders'  equity,  comprehensive income and
cash  flows for the six  months  ended  June  30,1999,  and June 30,  1998.  All
significant   intercompany   transactions   and  balances  are   eliminated   in
consolidation. The income reported for 1999 period is not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by
charge-offs, net of recoveries. Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy
of the  allowance  is based on the Bank's past loan loss  experience,  known and
inherent  risks  in the  portfolio,  adverse  situations  that  may  affect  the
borrower's  ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying  collateral,
and current economic conditions.

Investment  Securities Available for Sale:  Investment  securities available for
sale consist of securities that the Bank anticipates could be made available for
sale in response to changes in market interest rates,  liquidity needs,  changes
in funding  sources and other  similar  factors.  These assets are  specifically
identified and are carried at fair value. Amortization of premiums and accretion
of discounts are  recognized in interest  income using the interest  method over
the period to maturity.  Unrealized  holding  gains and losses for these assets,
net of related  income  taxes,  are excluded from earnings and are reported as a
net amount in a separate  component of stockholders'  equity.  When a decline in
market value is considered  other than temporary,  the loss is recognized in the
consolidated  statement of income,  resulting in the establishment of a new cost
basis  for the  security.  Mortgage-backed  securities  are  subject  to risk of
repayment  which can affect the yields  realized on the securities by increasing
or decreasing the period over which premiums and discounts are recognized.


For other accounting  policies,  refer to the financial  statements filed in the
form 10-KSB for the year-end December 31, 1998.

NOTE 2 - STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY/EARNINGS PER SHARE
At December 31, 1997,  the Company  adopted SFAS No. 128,  "Earnings Per Share."
SFAS 128 specifies the computation and disclosure  requirements for earnings per
share for entities with  publicly  held common stock or potential  common stock.
The  effect  of  SFAS  No.  128  on the  Company's  financial  statements  is to
retroactively  present diluted earnings per share, in addition to basic earnings
per share already presented.
<PAGE>
The basic  earnings  per share  computation  is based upon the  weighted-average
number of shares of stock outstanding  during the period.  Only ESOP shares that
have been committed to be released are considered outstanding.  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:

NOTE 3 - ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Activity  in the  allowance  for loan  losses was as follows  for the six months
ended June 30, 1999:

     Balance at January 1, 1999                  $1,580,233
     Provision for loan losses                      300,000
     Charged-off loans                              115,493
     Recoveries                                      38,287
                                                 ----------
     Balance at June 30,1999                     $1,803,027



NOTE 4 - LOANS HELD FOR SALE

Mortgage  loans  originated  and intended for sale in the  secondary  market are
carried at the lower of cost or  estimated  market value in the  aggregate.  Net
unrealized losses are recognized in a valuation allowance by charges to income.

NOTE 5 - EXCESS OF COST OVER FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS ACQUIRED (Goodwill)

The excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired in branch acquisitions
is amortized to expense using the straight line method over ten years. In March,
1998 the Bank  acquired  the  Madison,  Maine  branch of KeyBank  of Maine.  The
acquisition  was  accounted  for under the  purchase  method of  accounting  for
business combinations. The following is a summary of the transaction:

                                              ========

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Bank is a party to financial  instruments with off balance sheet risk in the
normal  course  of  business  to meet  financing  needs  of its  customers.  The
financial  instruments  include  commitments  to make loans and unused  lines of
credit. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to make loans and unused
lines of credit is represented by the contractual  amount of those  instruments.
The Bank follows the same credit policy to make such  commitments  as it follows
for those  loans  recorded  in the  financial  statements.  At June  30,1999 and
December 31, 1998, the Bank had  commitments  to make loans totaling  $6,494,000
and $2,067,000 and unused lines of credit totaling  $20,418,000 and $18,111,000,
respectively. Commitments to make loans may expire without being used, therefore
the amount does not necessarily represent future cash commitments.


NOTE 7 - INTEREST RATE SWAPS

The Bank was a party to an interest  rate swap  agreement  with the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Boston dated June 1996 which had a "notional amount" of $5,000,000.
The Bank was  obligated  to pay  interest  based on the  three-month  LIBOR rate
adjusting  quarterly,  and received a fixed-rate payment.  This contract matured
June, 1999. The Bank received a fixed-rate of 6.63% and as of June 30,1999, paid
at the rate of 5.00%. Net interest income for the period ending June 30,1999 was
$34,737.  The Bank has utilized interest rate swaps to partially protect its net
interest  income  stream  against  the effects of falling  rates on  prime-based
loans. The "notional" amount is a figure used to calculate  settlement  payments
and does not  represent  exposure to credit loss.  The Bank has an interest rate
cap in the notional amount of $10,000,000 on which it receives the excess of the
three-month LIBOR rate, adjusted quarterly, over 6.50%. The cap matures July 24,
1999.  The Bank paid a premium of $33,000  that is  recognized  into income on a
straight-line  basis over the life of the contract.  No interest income has been
received on the cap.  The  estimated  market  value of the  agreement as of June
30,1999  is $ 0. The  Bank  uses  interest  rate  floor  and cap  agreements  to
partially  protect its net interest  income stream against the effect of falling
rates on prime-based loans

NOTE 8 - LOAN SERVICING

The unpaid  principal  balance of mortgage loans serviced for others,  which are
not included on the balance  sheet,  was  $72,156,621  and  $75,951,000  at June
30,1999 and  December  31,  1998,  respectively.  Mortgage  servicing  rights of
$45,571 and $53,542 are  capitalized  at December  31, 1998 and June 30,1999 and
are included in other assets. The amortized cost approximates fair value at both
dates.

                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
                 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION & RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

I.       General
         -------

Certain  statements  contained  herein are not based on historical facts and are
"forward-looking  statements"  within  the  meaning  of the  Private  Securities
Litigation  Reform  Act of  1995,  such  as  statements  relating  to  financial
condition and future prospects, loan loss reserve adequacy, year 2000 readiness,
simulation  of changes in interest  rates,  prospective  results of  operations,
capital spending and financing  sources,  and revenue  sources.  Forward-looking
statements, which are based on various assumptions (some of which are beyond the
Company's  control),  may be  identified  by  reference  to a future  period  or
periods, or by the use of forward-looking  terminology;  such as "may",  "will",
"believe", "expect", "estimate",  "anticipate",  "continue", or similar terms or
variations on those terms, or the negative of those terms. Such  forward-looking
statements  reflect the current view of management  and are based on information
currently  available to them,  and upon  current  expectations,  estimates,  and
projections  regarding  the Company and its industry,  management's  belief with
respect   thereto,   and  certain   assumptions   made  by   management.   These
forward-looking  statements  are not  guarantees of future  performance  and are
subject to risks, uncertainties,  and other factors. Accordingly, actual results
could differ materially from those set forth in  forward-looking  statements due
to a variety of factors,  including,  but not limited to,  those  related to the
economic  environment,  particularly  in the market  areas in which the  Company
operates,  competitive products and pricing, fiscal and monetary policies of the
U.S.  Government,   changes  in  government   regulations   affecting  financial
institutions,  including  regulatory fees and capital  requirements,  changes in
prevailing  interest  rates,   acquisitions  and  the  integration  of  acquired
businesses,  credit  risk  management,  asset/liability  management,  changes in
technology,  changes in the securities markets,  and the availability of and the
costs associated with sources of liquidity.

The Company's  results of operations  are dependent  primarily on the Bank.  The
Bank's  primary  source of earnings  is its net  interest  income,  which is the
difference  between the  interest  income  earned on its loans,  mortgage-backed
securities and investment  portfolio versus its cost of funds, which consists of
the interest paid on deposits and borrowings.

To a lesser extent but still  significant is the effect of the Bank's  secondary
mortgage  market  activities in which the Bank originates  residential  mortgage
loans for the secondary  mortgage market and subsequently  sells the loans while
retaining servicing rights and fees.

The Company's  operating expenses consist  principally of employee  compensation
and  benefits,   occupancy   and  equipment   expenses  and  other  general  and
administrative  expenses.  The Company's results of operations are significantly
affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in
market interest rates, as well as government  policies and actions of regulatory
authorities.
<PAGE>
II.      Interest Rate Sensitivity
         -------------------------

A number  of  measures  are  used to  monitor  and  manage  interest-rate  risk,
including  income  simulation  and  interest  sensitivity  (gap)  analyses.   An
income-simulation  model is the primary  tool used to assess the  direction  and
magnitude of changes in net interest  income  resulting from changes in interest
rates.   Key   assumptions   in  the   model   include   prepayment   speeds  on
mortgage-related  assets;  cash flows and  maturities  of  derivative  and other
financial  instruments  held for purposes other than trading;  changes in market
conditions  on  loan  and  deposit  pricing;   deposit   sensitivity;   customer
preferences;  and management's  financial  capital plans.  These assumptions are
inherently  uncertain and, as a result,  the model cannot precisely estimate net
interest  income or  precisely  predict  the impact of higher or lower  interest
rates on net interest income.  Actual results will differ from simulated results
due to timing,  magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in
market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.

Based on the results of the  simulation  model as of June 30, 1999,  the Company
would  expect an increase in net  interest  income of  $214,000,  or 2.8% of net
interest  income  projected  in  a  flat-rate  environment,  if  interest  rates
gradually decrease from current rates by 200 basis points over a 12-month period
At the same date, the Company would expect a decrease in net-interest  income of
$440,000 or 5.8% if interest rates gradually  increase from current rates by 200
basis points over a 12-month  period.  These  results are both within  Board-set
tolerance  limits of 7.5%. The increase in liability  sensitivity is due in part
to the decision to hold fixed rate loans in order to enhance net interest income
overall. Management plans to take steps such as locking in fixed rate funding or
utilization  of interest rate caps to mitigate the effect of the decrease in net
interest income in a rising rate environment.


III.     Financial Condition
         -------------------

Total assets  increased  $8.0 million or 4.7% to $179.3 million at June 30,1999.
This was primarily attributable to an increase of $12.7 million in the portfolio
of residential  loans,  including Loans to be Sold.  During the six-month period
ending June 30,1999 the Bank  received  $4.3  million in  principal  payments on
mortgage-backed securities.

Total deposits and other borrowed funds (which  consists of customer  repurchase
agreements, or "sweep" accounts) remained static for the first half of the year,
with a change  in the  deposit  mix from  lower  cost  deposits  to,  primarily,
one-year Certificates of Deposit.

Advances from FHLB and the Federal  Reserve Bank of Boston (FRB) at June 30,1999
totaling  $29.7 million  includes $20.0 million of fixed-rate  borrowings,  $6.0
million in  adjustable-rate  term  borrowings  (averaging  11 Basis Points below
LIBOR) and $3.7  million of  variable-rate  daily  borrowings  from the  Federal
Reserve Bank of Boston  (FRB).  The  fixed-rate  borrowings  mature $8.5 million
within the next six months and $11.5 million in 2000 and beyond.

Investment  securities  To Be Held to Maturity  and  Available  for Sale consist
primarily of  Mortgage-backed  securities  which are  predominantly  of the type
issued by U.S.  Government  agencies.  Of these,  $1.7 million are variable-rate
securities adjusting annually. The remainder are fixed-rate in nature.
<PAGE>
Non-performing  loans at June 30,1999 declined by $487,000 to $1,882,000 or 1.3%
of total net loans,  compared to $2,369,000,  or 1.8% of total loans at December
31, 1998.  (Net loans at December 31, 1998  includes $8.2 million of Loans to be
Sold placed into the Bank's residential  portfolio in 1999). The current balance
is primarily  represented by loans well-secured by real estate. Also included in
non-performing  loans are loans which are less than  ninety  days past due,  but
whose interest is recognized on a cash basis only.  These loans are restructured
loans or were non-accrual loans in the recent past and have not yet demonstrated
the ability to stay current.  Amounts of such loans are  $1,121,000 and $430,000
at December  31, 1998 and June  30,1999,  respectively.  Other Real estate owned
decreased due to sales of properties acquired through foreclosure.


IV.      Comparison of Operating Results
         -------------------------------

The Company  reported  net income of $487,000 for the  three-month  period ended
June 30,1999,  which represents a $53,000 increase,  or 12.2%, from the $434,000
net income reported for the comparable  three-month period in 1998. Net interest
income  after  provision  for loan losses  increased  by  $141,000 or 8.5%.  The
increase  is  attributable  to a 13.8%,  or $20.3  million  increase  in average
earning assets for the 1999 period compared to 1998. Loan volume was the primary
component of the increase in earning assets.  The interest margin for the second
quarter  of  1999  decreased  from  that  of  the  second  quarter  of  1998  by
approximately 17 basis points.

Non-interest  income decreased by $33,000 or 9.3% for the second quarter of 1999
when  compared  to the second  quarter of 1998.  Service  charges and other fees
increased slightly over the previous year's quarter. Net fees and Gains on Loans
Sold declined  because of  management's  decision to place  saleable  loans into
portfolio rather than sell. No residential  loans were sold in the first half of
1999 and no gains or losses were  recognized.  The sale of one  commercial  loan
participation for $1.0 million resulted in a gain of $4,500. These decisions are
part of the  current  Asset/Liability  strategy  to guard  against  declines  in
interest  income due to  falling  rates.  The loans are in the  process of being
funded with 1-3 year liabilities.

Non-interest  expense  increased  by $45,000 or 3.4% from the second  quarter of
1998 to the period  ending June  30,1999.  Salary  expense  increased by $52,000
(which includes a $25,000 decline in the ESOP expense  component due to the drop
in market value of the Company's stock). The increase is due to planned staffing
increases and salary increases.  Increases in staffing starting in May, 1999 are
adding approximately $10,000 per month to the beginning-of-year  salary expense.
These additions will facilitate future growth.

The Company  reported net income of $944,000 for the six-month period ended June
30, 1999, which represents a $91,000  increase,  or 10.7%, from the $853,000 net
income reported for the comparable six-month period in 1998. Net interest income
after  provision  for loan losses  increased  by $273,000 or 8.4%.  Non-interest
income  decreased  $35,000,  or  5.2%,  and  operating  expenses  for  the  same
comparable periods increased by $131,000, or 5.0%.

The  increase in net  interest  income is  attributable  to a 13.5%  increase in
average earning assets for the 1999 period compared to 1998. The interest margin
for the first  half of 1999  decreased  from  that of the first  half of 1998 by
approximately  17 basis  points.  Loan volume was the primary  component  of the
increase in earning  assets.  The addition of the Madison deposit base in March,
1998 was a positive influence on the net interest margin.
<PAGE>
Non-interest  income  decreased  for the first half of 1999 when compared to the
first half of 1998.  Service  charges and other fees  increased by $17,000 or 4%
over the previous  year's period due primarily to the acquisition of the Madison
branch in March,  1998 as well as increases in the  collections  of fees on loan
accounts and loan  applications.  There were  virtually no sales of  residential
mortgages for the 1999 period (a $1.0 million commercial participation was sold,
resulting  in a $4,500  gain).  Management  placed  into  portfolio  most of its
saleable loans in order to enhance growth in future  interest income and provide
some protection from falling interest rates.  Thus, the decrease in Net Gains on
Loans Sold.

Non-interest  expense  increased by $131,000 or 5.0% from the first half of 1998
to the period ending June 30, 1999.  Salary expense increased by $111,000 (which
includes a $50,000  decline  in the ESOP  expense  component  due to the drop in
market value of the Company's stock).  Of the increase,  $28,000 is attributable
to the operation of the Madison branch. The remainder is due to planned staffing
increases and salary increases.  Increases in staffing starting in May, 1999 are
adding approximately  $10,000 per month to salary expense.  These additions will
facilitate future growth.


V.       Liquidity and Capital Resources
         -------------------------------

A primary function of  asset/liability  management  includes  assuring  adequate
liquidity  that  reflects  the  ability  of the  Bank  to  meet  the  cash  flow
requirements of its customers without significant loss to the Bank.

Liquidity comes from five sources in the balance sheet --- the Bank's investment
portfolio, deposits, borrowings, loan repayments and profits.

Liquidity  is needed to fund  increased  loan  demand and to cover the  seasonal
outflows of deposits.  The Bank's investment portfolio,  that consists primarily
of mortgage-backed securities, provides liquidity through repayment of principal
and interest and through its  availability  as  collateral  for  borrowings  and
public sector deposit accounts.

The  Bank's  primary  approach  to  measuring  liquidity  is  utilizing  a Basic
Surplus/Deficit model. It is used to calculate liquidity over 30-day horizon, by
examining the  relationship  between liquid assets and  short-term  liabilities,
which are  vulnerable  to  non-replacement  within a 30-day  period.  The Bank's
minimum  policy level of liquidity  under this model is 5% of total  assets.  At
June  30,1999,  the 30-day ratio was 1.6%, ( 14.6%  including  borrowable  funds
available  from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston).  The change from previous
periods  results from placing  saleable loans into portfolio,  thereby  removing
them from basic liquid  assets.  Management  will be taking steps to  securitize
approximately  $16,000,000 of FHLMC-conforming 1-4 family residential mortgages,
the  availability  of  which  would  increase  the  Bank's  basic  liquidity  to
approximately 10%.

Stockholder's equity at June 30,1999 was $ 14.2 million, an increase of $488,000
or 3.6% over total equity at December 31, 1998.  The increase  resulted from net
income of  $944,000  for the  period,  $112,000  in  adjustments  related to the
Employee  Stock  Ownership Plan (ESOP) and the Bank  Recognition  Retention Plan
(RRP), less $90,000 net dividends paid to stockholders.  The net unrealized loss
on securities  available for sale  decreased by $310,000 for the six months (net
of deferred  tax  liability  of  $160,000).  The  Company  issued 257 new shares
<PAGE>
pursuant to an  agreement  with the Board of Directors to pay a portion of their
fees in stock.  This  resulted in an addition to paid-in  capital of $4,000.  In
May,  1999 the  Company  bought  12,500  shares on the open market at $13.75 per
share and placed the shares into Treasury at $172,000.  The Company issued 5,000
new shares to an officer exercising  options.  The Company accepted 1,212 shares
at market value in payment of the exercise and subsequently retired the shares.

At both June 30,1999 and December 31, 1998, the Company's  ratio of core capital
to total assets  equaled 7.3%.  The Bank's ratio of core capital to total assets
equaled 7.3% at June 30, 1999 and 7.1% at December 31, 1998.

The ratio of the Company's  risk-based  capital to risk-weighted  assets at June
30,1999 was 12.00%  compared to 11.98% at December 31, 1998.  The Bank's capital
ratios are derived from data presented in the Bank's FDIC call reports.

The ratio of the  Bank's  risk-based  capital  to  risk-weighted  assets at June
30,1999 was 11.92%  compared to 11.70% at December 31, 1998.  The Bank's capital
ratios are derived from data presented in the Company's FRB call reports.

YEAR 2000 READINESS
The Year 2000 (`Y2K') issue is the result of computer programs using a two-digit
format,  as opposed to four digits,  to indicate the year. Such computer systems
may be unable to  properly  interpret  dates  beyond the year 1999,  which could
cause a system  failure or other  computer  errors,  leading to  disruptions  in
operations.  In 1997, Kingfield Bank developed a five-phase  methodology for Y2K
systems compliance.

Phase I, or  Awareness,  consisted of defining the Y2K issue at Kingfield  Bank;
informing the Board of Directors, Management and key customers of the issue; and
developing a strategy of addressing the issue in all areas of the company.  This
phase has been completed.

Phase II, or  Assessment,  consists of  identifying  all software,  hardware and
customer/vendor  interdependencies  affected  by the Y2K  issue.  This  phase is
essentially  complete but management realizes that additional issues might arise
that may require additional assessment.

Phase III, or Renovation,  includes various upgrades to hardware and software to
ensure Y2K  compliance.  This phase was  completed in April,  1999. In September
1998,  the Bank  installed  new  mainframe  hardware.  The Y2K issue was not the
primary  reason  for  the  addition.  The  new  hardware  is Y2K  compliant  and
facilitates software testing (the software is also certified compliant, but will
be  tested  as part of Phase  IV  Validation).  The  overriding  motivation  for
purchase of the  hardware  was to provide  better,  faster  customer  service by
speeding up processing and backup time for the Bank's application processes. The
hardware  and  software  are  certified  by the  vendors as Y2K  compliant.  The
purchased  hardware and associated  software are being capitalized in accordance
with normal policy.  The costs associated with new software or upgraded hardware
would have been incurred in the normal  course of  operations  regardless of the
year 2000 issue.

Phase IV, or Validation, consists of testing all hardware and software in use by
the  company as well as testing the  interfaces  between  company  and  external
systems.  Systems in use by critical suppliers of services will be monitored for
testing  progress by management.  The Company  completed the Validation phase in
March, 1999. The Bank uses a nationally  recognized third party service provider
who  provides   software  to  over  3,500  financial   institutions  to  provide
application  software  to  process  its most  mission-critical  data  processing
related to its loans, deposits, general ledger
<PAGE>
and other  financial  applications.  The service  provider has informed the Bank
that its software is Y2K  compliant  (and has been since  1988).  Testing of the
third party  provider's  programs has  commenced  and was completed by April 30,
1999.

Phase V, or  Implementation,  has  been  completed  as of June 30,  1999 and has
resulted in the  certification  of all hardware  and software as Y2K  compliant.
Contingency  plans have been developed for all mission critical systems and will
be executed if any systems fail to meet certification  criteria.  The Company is
in the process of assessing  these plans in light of the possible impact of Year
2000  failures  and will  modify  plans as more  becomes  known  about  evolving
scenarios.  The Company's  reasonably  most likely  worst-case Y2K scenarios may
include  the failure of a vendor or third  party  provider,  which is beyond the
Company's control. In the event a failure occurs, the Company expects to be able
to  implement  contingency  systems.  The Bank has in place  stand-by  liquidity
available  to it in the event  unusual  levels of  deposit  outflows  occur as a
result of customers' fear of system failures.

Management believes the Company is adequately addressing the Year 2000 issue and
that the current  preparations  and testing being conducted all seek to minimize
any potential  adverse effect on the Bank or its  customers.  The commercial and
residential  loan  portfolios,  as well as the  significant  depositor list, are
currently being analyzed by our Year 2000 team for material  exposure to the Y2K
issue.  No material  exposure is expected due to the diverse  nature of our loan
and deposit  portfolios.  It is estimated that the Company's cost of remediation
during 1998 was under  $5,000  direct  expenses and fewer than 1,500 total hours
spent by management  and staff.  1999 expenses are expected to be under $20,000,
including $10,000 for computer  software,  $5,000 for customer awareness efforts
and $5,000 miscellaneous.

The Company's  regulatory  agency,  the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation
(`FDIC'), has been monitoring,  and plans to continue monitoring,  the Company's
progress in addressing the Y2K issue. The FDIC has provided substantial guidance
to the Bank concerning the Y2K issue.

Other Matters
- -------------

On July 27, 1999, the Company  entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger") with Camden National Corporation,  a Maine corporation  ("Camden") and
Camden  Acquisition  Subsidiary,  Inc.  ("CASI"),  a  Delaware  corporation  and
wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the Camden.  The Merger  Agreement  provides  for a
series of related transactions pursuant to which the Company will be merged with
and into the  Camden,  with the  Camden  being the  surviving  corporation.  The
Company's  subsidiary bank,  Kingfield  Savings Bank (the "bank") will be merged
with United  Bank,a  subsidiary  bank of Camden,  with the Bank as the surviving
company.  The Boards of Directors of the Company and Camden  approved the Merger
Agreement, and all of the transactions contemplated thereby, at their respective
meetings  held on July 27, 1999.  The  consummation  of the Merger is subject to
certain customary conditions, including, without limitation, the approval of the
stockholders of each of the Company and Camden and certain regulatory approvals.
<PAGE>
Under the Merger  Agreement,  at the Effective  Time (as such term is defined in
the Merger  Agreement),  each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01
per share,  of the Company (the "Company  Common  Stock") will be converted into
the right to receive 1.136 shares of Camden's  common  stock,  no par value (the
"Camden Common Stock").  Each holder of Company Common Stock who would otherwise
be entitled to receive a  fractional  share of Camden  Common Stock will receive
cash in lieu thereof.

as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 11, 1999.
