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, 2001, and for the six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our reviews 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 U.S. 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 reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. 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, 2001, and December 31, 2000, the consolidated statements of income for the six and three months ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the six and three months ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. The income reported for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the December 31, 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders. 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 tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share: <TABLE> <CAPTION> <S> <C> <C> (Dollars in thousands, except number SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, of shares and per share data) 2001 2000 Net income, as reported $ 7,623 $ 6,517 Weighted average shares 8,145,341 8,167,358 Effect of dilutive employee stock options 19,333 12,573 ---------- ---------- Adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversion 8,164,674 8,179,931 ========== ========== Basic earnings per share $ 0.94 $ 0.80 Diluted earnings per share 0.93 0.80 THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 2000 Net income, as reported $ 4,003 $ 3,323 Weighted average shares 8,145,341 8,167,358 Effect of dilutive employee stock options 19,333 12,573 ---------- ---------- Adjusted weighted average shares and assumed conversion 8,164,674 8,179,931 ========== ========== Basic earnings per share $ 0.50 $ 0.41 Diluted earnings per share 0.49 0.41 </TABLE> 9
NOTE 3 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." As part of its interest rate risk management, the Company has interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $25 million at June 30, 2001. These swap agreements are used to hedge a portfolio of brokered certificates of deposit. Most of the swaps are designated as a fair value hedge since they are used to convert the cost of the certificates of deposit from a fixed to a variable rate. Since the hedge relationship is estimated to be 100 percent effective (gain or loss on the swap agreements will completely offset the gain or loss on the brokered certificates of deposit) there was no impact on the statement of income nor on the statement of comprehensive income. The application of SFAS No. 133 results in a grossing up of the statement of condition to reflect the swap and the brokered certificates of deposit at fair value. At June 30, 2001 the fair value (or replacement cost) of these swap agreements was approximately $18.2 thousand. This was a reduction of $65.4 thousand compared to fair value reported at March 31, 2001. The Company also has interest rate protection agreements (caps) with a notional amount of $90 million at June 30, 2001. These caps are used to limit the Company's exposure to rising interest rates on its borrowings. Under these agreements the Company paid up-front premiums of $239.0 thousand for the right to receive cash flow payments if rates exceed the predetermined cap rate, thus capping its interest rate cost for the duration of the agreement. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, management designates these caps as cash-flow hedges. For a qualifying cash flow hedge, an interest rate cap is carried on the statement of condition at fair value with the time and option volatility value changes, for the ineffective portion will be reflected in the statement of income. Any intrinsic value, for the effective portion, will be recorded in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes, and recognized in future statements of income as an offset to related future borrowing costs. As of June 30, 2001, the Company recognized a loss of $149.5 thousand that in the statement of income, for the ineffective portion. On January 1, 2001, upon implementation of SFAS No. 133, net gains and losses related to the effective cash flow hedge component of derivative instruments were reported as a cumulative effect adjustment to other comprehensive income. Upon implementation of SFAS No. 133, the Company transferred all of its investment securities classified as held to maturity to available for sale. The impact of this reclassification was an increase to other comprehensive income of $2.0 million, net of applicable taxes. On April 11, 2001 the Company sold an interest rate floor agreement and an interest rate swap both with notional amounts of $10 million. The purpose of the interest rate floor entered into by the Company on May 12, 2000 was to protect net interest income from falling interest rates by "flooring" certain asset yields for a contracted period of time, thus "insuring" a minimum earnings level. The purpose of the interest rate swap agreement entered into by the Company on December 23, 1999 was to exchange a variable rate asset for a fixed rate asset, thus projecting certain asset yields from falling interest rates. With a substantial decline in the interest rate environment, it was determined that it would be economically advantageous to sell now rather then wait for the potential cash flows over the life of the instruments. In addition, subsequent to the Company having purchased these instruments, other strategies have been implemented to protect the balance sheet in a declining rate environment. The impact of this sale was an increase to net income of $614.8 thousand, net of applicable taxes. 10
NOTE 4 - RECENT DEVELOPMENTS ACQUISITIONS - -------------- On May 7, 2001 the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding common stock of Acadia Trust, N.A. ("Acadia") and Gouws Capital Management, Inc. ("Gouws Capital"). Headquartered in Portland, Maine, Acadia is a nationally chartered trust company offering traditional trust services to high net worth individuals and institutions. Acadia's assets under management are approximately $400 million. Gouws Capital, headquartered in Portland, Maine, offers investment advisory services to high net worth individuals and institutions, many of whom are also clients of Acadia, has approximately $400 million of assets under management. Gouws Capital was founded in 1984, followed by Acadia in 1991. On July 19, 2001, the Company completed its acquisition of Acadia and Gouws Capital. STOCK REPURCHASE - ---------------- The Board of Directors of the Company voted on June 25, 2001 to authorize the Company to purchase up to 409,500 shares or approximately 5% of its outstanding common stock. The authority may be exercised from time to time and in such amounts as market conditions warrant. Any purchases are intended to make appropriate adjustments to the Company's capital structure, including meeting share requirements related to employee benefit plans and for general corporate purposes. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION The discussions set forth below and in the documents we incorporate by reference herein contain certain statements that may be considered forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company may make written or oral forward-looking statements in other documents we file with the SEC, in our annual reports to stockholders, in press releases and other written materials, and in oral statements made by our officers, directors or employees. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," estimate," "assume," "will," "should," and other expressions which predict or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate to historical matters. You should not rely on forward-looking statements, because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Company. These risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from the anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that might cause these differences include the following: changes in general, national or regional economic conditions; changes in loan default and charge-off rates; reductions in deposit levels necessitating increased borrowing to fund loans and investments; changes in interest rates; changes in laws and regulations; changes in the size and nature of the Company's competition; and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. You should carefully review all of these factors, and you should be aware that there may be other factors that could cause these differences, including, among others, the factors listed under "Certain Factors Affecting Future Operating Results," beginning on page 16 of our Annual Report on Form 10- K for the year ended December 31, 2000. Readers should carefully review the factors described under "Certain Factors Affecting Future Operating Results" and should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. 11
These forward-looking statements were based on information, plans and estimates at the date of this report, and we do not promise to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events or other changes. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company reported consolidated net income of $7.6 million or $0.93 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2001. This is an increase of $1.1 million or 17.0% compared to net income of $6.5 million or $0.80 per diluted share for the comparable period of 2000. When adjusted for gains on the sales of derivative contracts and costs associated with acquisitions, net operating income for the six months ending June 30, 2001 was $7.2 million or $0.88 per diluted share. Compared to the first six months of 2000, operating income per diluted share increased 10.0%. Return on average equity ("ROE") and return on average assets ("ROA") for the first half of the year was 16.16% and 1.50%, respectively. ROE and ROA were 16.44% and 1.36%, respectively, for the same period in 2000. For the second quarter of 2001, the Company reported consolidated net income of $4.0 million or $0.49 per diluted share, an increase of 19.5% over earnings per diluted share of $0.41 reported for the second quarter of 2000. When adjusted for gains on the sales of derivative contracts and costs associated with acquisitions, net operating income for the second quarter ending June 30, 2001 was $3.7 million or $0.45 per diluted share. This is an increase in operating earnings per diluted share of 9.8% when compared the second quarter of 2000. NET INTEREST INCOME The Company's net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $21.6 million, an 8.8% or $1.7 million increase over the net interest income for the first six months of 2000 of $19.9 million. Interest income on loans increased by $3.0 million, or 10.2% during the six-month period of 2001 compared to the same period of 2000. This increase was due to the increases in loan volumes. The Company experienced a slight decrease in interest income on investments during the first six months of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 due to a decrease in yields. The Company's interest expense on deposits and borrowings increased during the first six months of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. This increase in interest expense was the result of increased volumes offset somewhat due to decreased pricing. Net interest income, expressed as a percentage of average interest- earnings assets for the first half of 2001 and 2000, was 4.55% and 4.49%, respectively. The following tables, which present changes in interest income and interest expense by major asset and liability category for six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, illustrate the impact of average volume growth and rate changes. The income from tax-exempt assets has been adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis, thereby allowing a uniform comparison to be made between asset yields. Changes in net interest income are the result of interest rate movements, changes in the amounts and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and changes in the level of non-interest-earning assets and non-interest-bearing liabilities. The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swap agreements that have an effect on net interest income. There was an increase in net interest income of $311.0 thousand during the first six months of 2001 compared to an increase of $14.0 thousand in the first six months of 2000. The average amount of non-accrual loans can also affect the average yield on all outstanding loans. However, the average amount of non-accrual loans for the periods reflected were minimal and, therefore, had an insignificant effect on average loan yield. 12

Excluding the gain of $932.0 thousand realized from the sale of derivative instruments, non-interest income increased $586.0 thousand or 14.2% over the comparable period of 2000. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $302.0 thousand or 20.6% for the first half of 2001 compared to 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to a restructuring of deposit accounts and a change in the service charge fee structure. In addition, during May 2001 the Company introduced a new overdraft privilege service to its consumer customers which resulted in increased fee income. Merchant program increased $145.0 thousand or 23.3% during the first half of the year due to a combination of restructured pricing and increased volumes. Trust fees increased by $40.0 thousand or 8.7% in the first six months of 2001 compared to 2000. The primary reason for the $98.0 thousand or 8.1% increase in other income was an increase of $83.5 thousand or 51.6% compared to June 2000 in mortgage servicing fees associated with sales of residential real estate loans during the first half of 2001. Total non-interest income increased by $741.0 thousand or 34.2% during the second quarter of 2001 compared to the second quarter of 2000. Excluding the gain of $589.0 thousand recognized from the sale of derivative instruments, non- interest income increased $152.0 thousand or 7.0% over the comparable period of 2000. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $167.0 thousand or 22.0% for the second quarter of 2001 compared to 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to a restructuring of deposit accounts and a change in the service charge fee structure and the new overdraft privilege service. Merchant program increased $54.0 thousand or 13.6% during the second quarter due to a combination of restructured pricing and increased volumes. Trust fees increased by $19.0 thousand or 8.4% in the second quarter of 2001 compared to 2000. The primary reason for the $89.0 thousand decrease in other income was a one-time vendor- signing bonus of $60.0 thousand that was recognized during the second quarter of 2000. 15
NONINTEREST EXPENSE Total non-interest expense increased by $1.2 million or 9.1% in the first half of the year ended June 30, 2001 compared to the same period ended June 30, 2000. Salaries and employee benefits cost increased by $472.0 thousand or 7.6% during the first six months of 2001 compared to 2000. This increase was the result of normal annual increases, higher benefit costs and increased employee performance bonus accruals. Expenses related to premises and fixed assets increased $215.0 thousand or 11.2% during the first half of 2001 compared to 2000 due to the renovation and expansion of several of the Company's facilities. Expenses associated with the processing of merchant transactions increased $142.0 thousand or 20.5% during the first half of 2001 compared to 2000. Other operating expenses increased by $363.0 thousand or 9.7%, in the first six months of 2001 compared to the first six months of 2000. The largest contributing factor was the expenses related to the acquisitions of Acadia Trust and Gouws Management of $188.0 thousand. Other contributing factors were increases in fees paid directors, courier costs, debit card processing costs, and closing costs and solicitation costs associated with a recent home equity loan promotion. Total non-interest expense increased by $855.0 thousand or 13.2% in the quarter ended June 30, 2001 compared to the same quarter ended June 30, 2000. Salaries and employee benefits cost increased by $344.0 thousand or 11.0% during the second quarter of 2001 compared to 2000. This increase was the result of normal annual increases, higher benefit costs and increased employee performance bonus accruals. Expenses related to premises and fixed assets increased $190.0 thousand or 21.4% during the second quarter of 2001 compared to 2000 due to the renovation and expansion of several of the Company's facilities. Expenses associated with the processing of merchant transactions increased $58.0 thousand or 12.3% during the second quarter of 2001 compared to 2000. Other operating expenses increased by $263.0 thousand or 14.9%, in the second quarter of 2001 compared to the second quarter of 2000. The largest contributing factor was the expenses related to the acquisitions of Acadia Trust and Gouws Management of $188.0 thousand. Other contributing factors were increases in fees paid directors, courier costs, debit card processing costs, and closing costs and solicitation costs associated with a recent home equity loan promotion. FINANCIAL CONDITION During the first six months of 2001, average assets increased by $57.6 million, or 5.9% to $1.0 billion. This increase was the result of an increase in the loan portfolio (including residential mortgages held for sale) of $66.5 million or 10.1% to $724.0 million of average loans outstanding during the first half of 2001 compared to $657.5 million of average loans outstanding during the first half of 2000. There were increases in several loan categories. The largest increase was in the average commercial loans, which increased by $61.3 million or 18.7% during the first half of 2001 compared to 2000 primarily due to loan volumes generated in the Company's loan production office established during the second half of 2000. Average consumer loans increased by $1.7 million or 1.9%, and average residential real estate loans increased by $4.1 million or 1.8% during the first half of 2001 compared to the first half of 2000. Average municipal loans decreased $630.0 thousand or 5.1% during the first half of 2001. The Company's securities portfolio averaged $234.2 million during the first half of 2001, as compared to $235.5 million during the first half of 2000 reflecting a decrease of $1.3 million or .6%. The liquidity needs of the Company's bank subsidiaries require the availability of cash to meet the withdrawal demands of depositors and credit commitments to borrowers. Due to the potential for unexpected fluctuations in both deposits and loans, active management of the Company's liquidity is necessary. The Company seeks to maintain various sources of funding and prudent levels of liquid assets in order to satisfy its varied liquidity demand. In order to respond to the various circumstances, the Company has both on- and off-balance sheet funding resources in place. Deposits continue to represent the Company's primary source of funds. Average deposits of $728.1 million during the first six months of 2001 increased $63.6 million or 9.6% from $664.5 million in the first six months of 2000. As a supplement to deposits, the Company utilizes various external sources of funds to maintain liquidity. In addition to borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLBB"), the Company's bank subsidiaries purchase federal funds, sell securities under agreements to repurchase and utilize treasury tax and loan accounts. Average borrowings for the first six months of 2001 were $196.3 million, a decrease of $19.7 million or 16
9.1% from $216.0 million the first six months of 2000. The majority of the borrowings were from the FHLBB, whose advances remained the largest non-deposit- related, interest-bearing funding source for the Company. Qualified residential real estate loans, certain investment securities and certain other assets available to be pledged secure these borrowings. The Company views borrowed funds as an alternative funding source that should be utilized when appropriate. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses ("ALL"), management relies primarily on its review of the loan portfolio both to ascertain whether there are specific loan losses to be reserved, and to assess the collectibility of the loan portfolio in the aggregate. Non-performing loans are examined on an individual basis to determine the estimated probable loss on these loans. In addition, each quarter management conducts a formal analysis of the ALL, which considers the current loan mix and loan volumes, historical net loan loss experience for each loan category, and current 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 ALL as conditions dictate. During the first half of 2001, the Company provided $1.4 million to the allowance for loan losses compared to $1.3 million in the first half of 2000. Total non-performing assets were .84% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2001, compared to 1.03% of loans outstanding June 30, 2000. Determining an appropriate level of ALL involves a high degree of judgment. Management believes that the ALL at June 30, 2001 of $12.2 million, or 1.63%, of total loans outstanding was appropriate given the current economic conditions in the Company's service area and the overall condition of the loan portfolio. As a percentage of total loans outstanding, the ALL was 1.54% at June 30, 2000. 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 8%, of which at least 4% must be in the form of core capital. The Company's Tier 1 and total risk based capital ratios at June 30, 2001, of 12.1% and 13.3%, respectively, exceed regulatory guidelines. The Company's Tier 1 and total risk based capital ratios at December 31, 2000 were 11.8% and 13.1%, 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 subsidiary's Board of Directors from legally available funds. Camden National Corporation declared dividends in the aggregate amount of $2.6 million and $2.5 million in the first six months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. During the first six months of 2001, the dividends declared by Camden National Bank included $1.6 million for dividend payments to shareholders of Camden National Corporation. During the first six months of 2000, the dividends declared by Camden National Bank included $1.2 million for dividend payments to shareholders of Camden National Corporation and $1.4 million related to contributions of capital by Camden National Bank to equalize the capital ratios of the two subsidiary banks for the year 2000. United- Kingfield Bank declared $1.0 million for dividend payments to shareholders of Camden National Corporation during the first six months of 2001. During the first six months of 2000, UnitedKingfield declared no dividends. IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES The Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 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. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS The Company was a defendant in a civil action in the [Cumberland] County Superior Court (the "Court"), which action was commenced in September 1999 resulting from a denial of credit by the former Kingfield Savings Bank. The plaintiff, Joseph A. Gamache, has asserted causes of action against the Company for interference with advantageous relationship, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, vicarious liability and punitive damages. Mr. Gamache sought total damages (compensatory and punitive) of approximately $6 million. On August 7, 2001, the Company and Mr. Gamache agreed to settle the litigation. Pursuant to the settlement agreement Mr. Gamache agreed to terminate the litigation and to release the Company from any further liability with respect to this matter. The Company will incur expenses of $1,025,000, or approximately $666,000 after tax, in connection with payments to Mr. Gamache under the settlement agreement. 17
ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK 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 subsidiary's Board of Directors delegates responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability management policies to that bank subsidiary'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 2-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 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 1-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 2001. Estimated Rate Change Changes in NII +200bp (1.91%) -200bp 0.63% 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 cash flows. 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. The most significant factors affecting the changes in market risk exposures during the first half of 2001 were the 1) decrease in interest rates market- wide, 2) changes in the yield curve for U.S. government securities, 3) increase in the principal amount of fixed-rate loans extended by the subsidiary banks, and 4) increases in fixed term borrowings. With the extension of fixed-rate borrowings the Company was less liability sensitive during the first half of 2001 compared to the second half of 2000. The changes made to the Company's loan portfolio and derivative financial instruments since December 31, 2000 have reduced the Company's exposure to a rising rate environment. Although the Company is still positively positioned in a downward rate environment, these 18
changes have resulted in an increased level of net interest risk in the event rates continue to decline. The Company considers net interest rate risk in both rising and declining rate scenarios in establishing its ALCO policy limits. When appropriate, the Company may utilize derivative financial 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 derivative financial instrument 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, 2001, the Company had a notional principal of $25 million in interest rate swap agreements and $90 million in cap contracts. The Company's $25 million of callable interest rate swaps mature in 2010. The two cap contracts ($20 million and $70 million) have strike rates of 7.5% and 7.0%, respectively, and both mature in 2002. These instruments are more fully described in Note 3 - Derivative Financial Instruments on page 10. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments that are embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS No. 133 requires the fair value recognition of all derivatives, unless specifically exempted, in the statement of financial position (as assets or liabilities). In accordance with SFAS No. 133, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are accounted for as current income or other comprehensive income, depending on their designation and hedge effectiveness. SFAS No. 133 generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instruments with the recognition of either the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability, or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001. The business purpose of the interest rate caps entered into by the Company was to reduce the exposure of interest expense to rising interest rates by "capping" certain liability costs for a contracted period of time, thus "insuring" a maximum cost level. The risks entered into in this transaction are: 1) the risk of default from the counterparty from whom the Company purchased the cap; 2) poor correlation between the rate being capped and the liability cost of the Company; and, 3) the fee being paid for the protection (i.e. if rates don't rise the protection will never have any value). Over the term of the cap, the Company will always write-off the total premium paid for protection. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Company implemented SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" as amended by SFAS No. 137, and SFAS No. 138 "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities," on January 1, 2001. These statements set accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. They require an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of condition and measure those instruments at fair value. Upon implementation of SFAS No. 133, the Company transferred all of its investment securities classified as held to maturity to available for sale, the impact of this reclassification was an increase to other comprehensive income of $2.0 million, net of applicable taxes. SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" is effective for transfers occurring after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 140 replaces SFAS No. 125. This statement is expected to have no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition and results of operation. During 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 141, "Business Combinations, and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." 19
SFAS No.141 improves the transparency of the accounting and reporting for business combinations by requiring that all business combinations be accounted for under a single method-the purchase method. Use of the pooling-of-interests method is no longer permitted. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method be used for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead be reviewed for impairment. The amortization of goodwill ceases upon adoption of the Statement, which will be January 1, 2002. The Company has not determined the impact of adopting SFAS No. 142. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS As previously reported, the Company is a party to litigation and claims arising in the normal course of business. The Company was a defendant in a civil action in the [Cumberland] County Superior Court (the "Court"), which action was commenced in September 1999 resulting from a denial of credit by the former Kingfield Savings Bank. The plaintiff, Joseph A. Gamache, has asserted causes of action against the Company for interference with advantageous relationship, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, vicarious liability and punitive damages. Mr. Gamache sought total damages (compensatory and punitive) of approximately $6 million. On August 7, 2001, the Company and Mr. Gamache agreed to settle the litigation. Pursuant to the to the settlement agreement Mr. Gamache agreed to terminate the litigation and to release the Company from any further liability with respect to this matter. The Company will incur expenses of $1,025,000, or approximately $666,000 after tax, in connection with payments to Mr. Gamache under the settlement agreement. There are no other material legal matters to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject; however, the Company is a party to ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business.
