REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
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, 2008, and for the six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) 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 (the Company) as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the consolidated statements of income for the six and three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders equity for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Certain items from the prior year were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The income reported for the six- and three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 are 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, 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On January 3, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Union Bankshares Company of Ellsworth, Maine, including its principal wholly-owned subsidiary, Union Trust Company, (collectively Union Trust). Immediately after the acquisition, Union Trust Company was merged into Camden National Bank. The financial results of Union Bankshares Company are included in the Companys quarterly results beginning on the January 3, 2008 acquisition date.
NOTE 2 EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share data is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Potential common stock is considered in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share, and is determined using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||

Page 9
At June 30, 2008, the Company had 98,450 shares of potential common stock, in the form of stock options, which were anti-dilutive as the exercise price was greater than the market price of the common stock. At June 30, 2007, the Company had 32,750 shares of potential common stock that were anti-dilutive, all of which were stock options. At June 30, 2008, the Company had 58,200 non-vested stock option grants, none of which were in-the-money options. At June 30, 2007, the Company had 81,850 non-vested stock option grants, of which 49,100 were in-the-money options.
NOTE 3 DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Through the acquisition of Union Trust, the Company acquired a cap agreement with a cap rate of 5.50%, notional amount of $20.0 million, and an expiration date of March 15, 2010. The fair value of the cap agreement at June 30, 2008 was $18,000 and was recorded in other assets. The Company considers this instrument to be an economic hedge, thus, changes in fair value are recorded in the Statement of Income.
As part of originating mortgage loans, the Company may enter into rate lock agreements with customers, which are considered derivatives under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, based upon the pipeline of mortgage loans with rate lock commitments and the change in fair value of those commitments due to changes in market interest rates, the Company determined the balance sheet impact was not material.
NOTE 4 INVESTMENTS
Management evaluates investments for other-than-temporary impairment based on the type of investment and the period of time the investment has been in an unrealized loss position. At June 30, 2008, the Company had a greater than 12 months unrealized loss of $833,000, the majority of which was comprised of mortgage-backed securities issued by either the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and collateralized mortgage obligations. Management believes that the unrealized loss positions are primarily due to the changes in the interest rate environment, there is little risk of loss or default from the counterparties, and the Company has the ability and intent to hold the securities for the foreseeable future, therefore, the securities are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. Investments with unrealized losses at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the length of time they have been in a continuous loss position, are as follows:

At June 30, 2008, the Company held auction rate securities totaling $20.0 million, or 3.2%, of the investment portfolio ($10.0 million in Auction Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-8 Class A Certificates relating to FHLMC 6.02% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series X, $5.0 million Auction Pass-Through Certificates Series 2007-1 Class A Certificates relating to FHLMC 5.1% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, 5.57% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock and 5.9% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock and $5.0 million in Duff & Phelps (DNP) Select Income Fund Auction Preferred Stock) which have recently failed at auction. Management believes the failed auctions are a temporary liquidity event related to this asset class of securities. We are currently collecting all amounts due according to contractual terms and have the ability and intent to hold the securities until they clear auction, are called, or mature; therefore, the securities are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

NOTE 7 COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE
In June 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2007 Common Stock Repurchase Program, which permits the Company to purchase up to 750,000 shares of its authorized and issued common stock for a one-year period, expiring July 1, 2008. The authority may be exercised from time to time and in such amounts as market conditions warrant. Any repurchases are intended to make appropriate adjustments to the Companys capital structure, including meeting share requirements related to employee benefit plans and for general corporate purposes. Through June 30, 2008, the Company has repurchased 59,362 shares at an average price of $32.29 per share under the 2007 Program, of which 18,019 were purchased during the second quarter of 2008 at an average price of $32.15.
In June 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company extended the Common Stock Repurchase Program for an additional one year period, expiring July 1, 2009, authorizing the Company to purchase up to 750,000 shares during the year for the same reasons noted under the prior year plan.
NOTE 8 SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
Stock-Based Compensation
On April 29, 2003, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the current plan). The maximum number of shares of stock reserved and available for issuance under this Plan is 800,000 shares. Awards may be granted in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, unrestricted stock, performance share and dividend equivalent rights, or any combination of the preceding, and the exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant in the case of incentive stock options, or 85% of the fair market value on the date of grant in the case of non-qualified stock options. No stock options are exercisable more than ten years after the date the stock option is granted. Prior to April 29, 2003, the Company had three stock option plans. Under all three plans, the options were immediately vested when granted, and expire ten years from the date the option was granted. The exercise price of all options equaled the market price of the Companys stock on the date of grant.
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)), using a modified prospective application. The Company had previously adopted the expense provisions of SFAS No. 123, thus adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) did not have a material effect on the statements of condition or results of operations of the Company.
Restricted Stock Awards
In January 2005, under the current plan, the Company granted 4,687 shares of restricted stock, all of which vest over a three-year period. In March 2007, under the current plan, the Company granted 6,873 shares of restricted stock, all of which vest over a three-year period. In April 2008, the Company granted 4,205 shares of restricted stock which vest on June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2008, 2,044 of the restricted stock awards have been forfeited. The Company recorded approximately $62,700 of compensation expense and $22,000 of related tax benefit for the first six months of 2008, of which $46,500 of compensation expense and $16,300 of related tax benefit was recorded in the second quarter. The Company recorded approximately $46,700 of compensation expense and $16,300 of related tax benefit for the first six months of 2007, of which $31,200 of compensation expense and $10,900 of related tax benefit was recorded in the second quarter.

Management Stock Purchase Plan
The Management Stock Purchase Plan (MSPP), which is a component of the current plan, provides equity incentive compensation to selected management employees of the Company. Participants in the Plan who are senior executives of the Company are required to receive restricted shares in lieu of a portion of their annual incentive bonus, if any, while certain other officers may elect to receive restricted shares in lieu of a portion of their annual incentive bonus. Restricted shares are granted at a discount of one-third of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Restricted shares will vest two years after the date of grant if the participant remains employed by the Company for such period, unless the participant reaches age 60 with at least 10 years of service, at which time there is immediate vesting of existing and new purchases under the MSPP. During the first quarter of 2008, under the MSPP, the Company granted 3,398 shares of restricted stock at a discounted price of $21.05, none of which have been forfeited. During the first quarter of 2007, under the MSPP, the Company granted 934 shares of restricted stock at a discounted price of $29.67, of which 96 shares have been forfeited. Related to the discount on the restricted stock, the Company recorded approximately $12,800 of compensation expense and $4,500 of related tax benefit for the first six months of 2008, of which $4,600 of compensation expense and $1,600 of related tax benefit was recorded in the second quarter. The Company recorded approximately $12,700 of compensation expense and $4,400 of related tax benefit for the first six months of 2007, of which $6,200 of compensation expense and $2,200 of related tax benefit was recorded in the second quarter.

Long-term Performance Share Plan
The Long-term Performance Share Plan, which is a component of the current plan, is intended to create incentives for certain executive officers of the Company and to thus allow the Company to attract and retain in its employ persons who will contribute to the future success of the Company. It is further the intent of the Company that awards made under this plan will be used to achieve the twin goals of aligning executive incentive compensation with increases in shareholder value and using equity compensation as a tool to retain key employees. The long-term performance period is a period of three consecutive fiscal years beginning on January 1 of the first year and ending on December 31 of the third year. Awards for the three year performance period January 1, 2006December 31, 2008 are based upon the attainment of certain thresholds of tangible book value and return on average equity over the three-year period. Awards for the three year performance
Page 13
periods January 1, 2007December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2008December 31, 2010 are based upon the attainment of certain thresholds of revenue growth and the efficiency ratio over the three-year periods. The current aggregate amount of awards based on actual and projected results for the three-year performance period January 1, 2007December 31, 2009 is $334,000 and, as of June 30, 2008, $167,000 has been recorded as compensation expense. The current aggregate amount of awards, based on actual and projected results for the three-year performance periods January 1, 2006December 31, 2008 and January 1, 2008December 31, 2010, is not considered material and no related expense has been recognized.
Defined Contribution Retirement Plan
Approved during the first quarter of 2008, the Defined Contribution Retirement Plan (DCRP), which is a component of the current plan, is an unfunded deferred compensation plan for the benefit of a group of senior management employees of the Company. Participation in the DCRP by an employee must be approved by the Companys Compensation Committee. Annually, on March 15th or the closest business day, the Compensation Committee will credit to an account administered by the Company 10% of each participants annual base salary and bonus for the prior performance period. Annual credits to a participants account will be denominated in Deferred Stock Awards based on the fair market value of the common stock of the Company on the date of grant. Deferred Stock Awards are the right to receive a share of common stock of the Company upon the satisfaction of certain restrictions. Vesting occurs ratably from the date of participation until the participant reaches the age of 65, at which time the participant is 100% vested. Upon retirement or termination of employment, the participant will receive shares of common stock equal to the Deferred Stock Awards in the account multiplied by the vested percentage, reduced by the amount to be withheld for income taxes. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company granted 1,469 deferred stock awards under the DCRP, none of which have vested.
Stock Option Awards
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company issued, under the current plan, 750 incentive stock options to employees, all of which vest over a five-year period. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company issued, under the current plan, 35,250 incentive stock options to employees, all of which vest over a five-year period. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants: in 2008, dividend yield of 3.0%, expected volatility of 27.09%, risk-free interest rate of 2.98%, and expected lives of 5.7 years; in 2007, dividend yield of 2.1%, expected volatility of 26.66%, risk-free interest rate of 4.77%, and expected lives of 5.0 years. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Companys stock, and other factors. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the US Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The Company uses historical data, such as option exercise and employee termination rates, to calculate the expected option life.
Related to the incentive stock option grants and in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company recorded approximately $42,300 of compensation expense during the first six months of 2008, of which $32,700 was in the second quarter. The Company recorded approximately $84,200 of compensation expense during the first six months of 2007, of which $42,300 was in the second quarter.

NOTE 9 MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
Residential real estate mortgages are originated by the Company both for portfolio and for sale into the secondary market. The Company may sell its loans to institutional investors such as Freddie Mac. Under loan sale and servicing agreements with the investor, the Company generally continues to service the residential real estate mortgages. The Company pays the investor an agreed-upon rate on the loan, which is less than the interest rate the Company receives from the borrower. The Company retains the difference as a fee for servicing the residential real estate mortgages. As required by SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assetsan amendment of SFAS No. 140, the Company capitalizes mortgage servicing rights at their fair value upon sale of the related loans, amortizes the asset over the estimated life of the serviced loan, and periodically assesses the asset for impairment. The balance of capitalized mortgage servicing rights, net of a valuation allowance, included in other assets at June 30, 2008 and 2007 and December 31, 2007 was $848,000, $224,000, and $142,000, respectively, which equaled the net book value of these rights. The fair market value of the mortgage servicing rights approximated $1.1 million, $791,000 and $775,000, respectively, at June 30, 2008 and 2007 and December 31, 2007. In evaluating the reasonableness of the carrying values of mortgage servicing rights, the Company obtains third party valuations based on loan level data including note rate, type and term of the underlying loans. The model utilizes a variety of assumptions, the most significant of which are loan prepayment assumptions and the discount rate used to discount future cash flows. Prepayment assumptions, which are impacted by loan rates and terms, are calculated using a three-month moving average of weekly prepayment data published by the Public Securities Association and modeled against the serviced loan portfolio by the third party valuation specialist. The discount rate is the quarterly average 10-year US
Page 15
Treasury rate plus 5.0%. Other assumptions include delinquency rates, foreclosure rates, servicing cost inflation, and annual unit loan cost. All assumptions are adjusted periodically to reflect current circumstances. Amortization of the mortgage servicing rights, as well as write-offs of capitalized rights due to prepayments of the related mortgage loans, are recorded as a charge against mortgage servicing income.
The following summarizes mortgage servicing rights capitalized and amortized, along with the activity in the related valuation allowance:

The Companys expected benefit payments for the third quarter of 2008 are $10,500 and the expected benefit payments for all of 2008 are $42,000. The expected contribution for 2008 is $198,000.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
The Company also sponsors an unfunded, non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) for certain officers. The agreement provides that current active participants, with 5 years of service (vested) and a calculated benefit under the plan, will be paid a life annuity upon retirement at age 55 or older, while vested participants who leave the Company prior to age 55 will be paid a 15-year benefit starting at age 65. For those eligible for benefits, the agreement provides for a minimum 15-year guaranteed benefit for all vested participants. The components of the net periodic benefit cost are:

The amount in accumulated other comprehensive loss expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost in 2008 is $18,500 of prior service cost. For 2008, the Company does not expect to recognize any of the net actuarial loss recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of net periodic benefit cost. The Companys expected benefit payments for the third quarter of 2008 are $52,750 and the expected benefit payments for all of 2008 are $211,000. The expected contribution for 2008 is $663,000.
The Company, through its acquisition of Union Trust, maintains a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for the benefit of certain key employees of the former Union Trust. Life insurance policies were acquired to generate income to offset the cost of the plan, and the amount of annual benefit is indexed to the financial performance of each insurance policy owned by the Company.
Pension Plan
The Company, through its acquisition of Union Trust, has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all permanent full-time employees of the former Union Trust, which was frozen on May 15, 2005. The Company is currently in the process of liquidating this plan. The Companys expected benefit payments for the third quarter of 2008 are $77,500 and the expected benefit payments for all of 2008 are $310,000. The Company has a $2.7 million liability related to this plan classified in other liabilities, and is not expected to make any contribution for 2008.

NOTE 12 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with US GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delays the effective date for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Although this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements, it has expanded our fair value disclosures.
Page 18
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability. Subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. SFAS No. 159 contains provisions to apply the fair value option to existing eligible financial instruments at the date of adoption. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year after November 15, 2007. The Company did not elect the fair value option under SFAS No. 159 for any financial assets or financial liabilities.
In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in SFAS No. 133. This Statement has the same scope as SFAS No. 133. FASB Statement No. 133 requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. SFAS No. 161 better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risk that the entity is intending to manage, disclosing the fair values of the derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format, as well as disclosing information about credit-risk-related contingent features. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management does not expect implementation of SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
NOTE 13 FAIR VALUE
Fair Value Measurement
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) or identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date, Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data, and Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a companys own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below.

NOTE 14 ACQUISITIONS
On January 3, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Union Bankshares Company of Ellsworth, Maine, including its principal wholly-owned subsidiary, Union Trust Company, for $72.6 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The agreement provided for the acquisition of Union Bankshares Company with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation. Promptly thereafter, Union Trust Company merged with and into Camden National Bank with Camden National Bank being the surviving institution. The acquisition brings together two Maine-based community banking institutions, each with a 100-plus year history, and provides a natural extension of the Companys geographic reach to Hancock County and the Downeast Maine area, while adding 16,000 households and businesses to which Camden National Bank can market its expanded products and services. The trust department of Union Trust became part of the Companys trust and investment subsidiary, Acadia Trust, N.A. The operating results of Union Trust have been included with those of the Company since the acquisition date.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company issued 1,222,497 shares of the Companys common stock valued at $43.5 million, and paid $29.0 million in cash in exchange for all outstanding Union Trust shares. The value of the common stock issued was determined based on the trailing average for the 10-day period before the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and announced, excluding the high and low prices for that period.
The Companys cost to acquire Union Trust was as follows (in thousands):

The $5.8 million of acquired intangible assets, which is subject to amortization, includes $5.0 million of core deposit intangible, which has a weighted-average life of approximately 10 years, and $753,000 of Trust relationship intangible, which also has a weighted-average life of approximately 10 years.
The goodwill recognized in the acquisition of approximately $38.4 million was allocated between the Banking and Financial Services reporting units, with allocations of $34.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
As part of the acquisition, the Company transferred the lease and other fixed assets of a branch facility, and sold the related deposits, to another financial institution. As part of the sale of deposits, the Company received a deposit premium of $1.4 million, which was recorded in goodwill.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS 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, but are not limited to, the following:
| general, national, regional or local economic conditions could be less favorable than anticipated, including fears of recession and continued sub-prime and credit issues, impacting the performance of the Companys investment portfolio, quality of credits or the overall demand for services; |
| changes in loan default and charge-off rates could affect the allowance for loan and lease losses; |
| adverse weather conditions and increases in energy costs could negatively impact State and local tourism, thus potentially affecting the ability of loan customers to meet their repayment obligations; |
| declines in the equity and financial markets which could result in impairment of goodwill; |
| reductions in deposit levels could necessitate increased and/or higher cost borrowing to fund loans and investments; |
| declines in mortgage loan refinancing, equity loan and line of credit activity which could reduce net interest and non-interest income; |
| changes in the domestic interest rate environment and inflation, as substantially all of the assets and virtually all of the liabilities are monetary in nature; |
| continuation of increases in short-term market interest rates without a corresponding increase in longer-term market interest rates, adversely affecting net interest income; |
| misalignment of the Companys interest-bearing assets and liabilities; |
| increases in loan repayment rates affecting net interest income and the value of mortgage servicing rights; |
| changes in accounting rules, Federal and State laws, regulations and policies governing financial holding companies and their subsidiaries; |
| changes in industry-specific and information system technology creating operational issues or requiring significant capital investment; |
| changes in the size and nature of the Companys competition, including industry consolidation and financial services provided by non-bank entities affecting customer base and profitability; |
| risks related to the acquisition of Union Bankshares Company with and into the Company, including but not limited to staffing issues, adverse customer service issues, and failing to meet the financial objectives of the acquisition; |
| changes in the global geo-political environment, such as acts of terrorism and military action; 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 might be other factors that could cause these differences, including, among others, the risk factors listed in Item 1A. Risk Factors within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described therein and should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Managements discussion and analysis of our financial condition are based on the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). The preparation of such financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those noted below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis in making judgments about the carrying values of assets that are not readily apparent from other sources. Under different assumptions or conditions, actual results could differ from the amount derived from our existing estimates.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the ALLL requires the most significant amount of management estimates and assumptions. The ALLL, which is established through a charge to the provision for loan and lease losses, is based on our evaluation of the level of the allowance required in relation to the estimated loss exposure in the loan portfolio. We regularly evaluate the ALLL for adequacy by taking into consideration, among other factors, local industry trends, managements ongoing review of individual loans, trends in levels of watched or criticized assets, an evaluation of results of examinations by regulatory authorities and other third parties, analyses of historical trends in charge-offs and delinquencies, the character and size of the loan portfolio, business and economic conditions and our estimation of probable losses. We use a risk rating system to determine the credit quality of our loans. In assessing the risk rating of a particular loan, among the factors considered include the obligors debt capacity and financial flexibility, the level of the obligors earnings, the amount and sources of repayment, the level and nature of contingencies, management strength, and the industry and geography in which the obligor operates. These factors are based on an evaluation of historical information, as well as subjective assessment and interpretation. Emphasizing one factor over another, or considering additional factors that may be relevant in determining the risk rating of a particular loan but which are not currently an explicit part of our methodology, could impact the risk rating assigned by us to that loan. We also apply judgment to derive loss factors associated with each credit facility. These loss factors are determined by facility structure, collateral and type of obligor. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different provisions for loan and lease losses, which would affect our earnings. A smaller provision for loan and lease losses results in higher net income, and when a greater amount of provision for loan and lease losses is necessary, the result is lower net income. Monthly, the Corporate Risk Management group reviews the ALLL with the CNB Board of Directors. On a quarterly basis, a more in-depth review of the ALLL, including the methodology for calculating and allocating the ALLL, is reviewed with our Board of Directors, as well as the Camden National Bank Board of Directors. For further ALLL information, refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other Real Estate Owned (OREO). Periodically, we acquire property in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of debt previously contracted. The valuation of this property is accounted for individually at the lower of the book value of the loan satisfied or its net realizable value on the date of acquisition. At the time of acquisition, if the net realizable value of the property is less than the book value of the loan, a charge or reduction in the ALLL is recorded. If the value of the property becomes permanently impaired, as determined by an appraisal or an evaluation in accordance with our appraisal policy, we will record the decline by showing a charge against current earnings. Upon acquisition of a property, a current appraisal or a brokers opinion must substantiate market value for the property.
Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses covers our portfolio of lending related commitments. We assess the need for an allowance for lending-related commitments based upon, among other factors, the amount of open commitments, the financial condition of the borrower, and historical losses on credit commitments. In addition, all draw downs on credit commitments undergo underwriting processes in accordance with our Loan Policy, thus must meet the same underwriting standards.
Page 23
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment. We record an investment impairment charge at the point we believe an investment has experienced a decline in value that is other than temporary. In determining whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, we review information about the underlying investment that is publicly available, analysts reports, applicable industry data and other pertinent information, and assess our ability to hold the securities for the foreseeable future. The investment is written down to its current market value at the time the impairment is deemed to have occurred. Future adverse changes in market conditions, continued poor operating results of underlying investments or other factors could result in further losses that may not be reflected in an investments current carrying value, possibly requiring an additional impairment charge in the future.
Mortgage Servicing Rights. Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when servicing rights are acquired through sale of residential mortgage assets. Capitalized servicing rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial residential mortgage assets. Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized costs. Fair value is determined based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. In periods of falling market interest rates, accelerated loan prepayment speeds can adversely impact the fair value of these mortgage-servicing rights relative to their book value. In the event that the fair value of these assets was to increase in the future, we can recognize the increased fair value to the extent of the impairment allowance but cannot recognize an asset in excess of its amortized book value. When the book value exceeds the fair value, an impairment of these servicing assets, as a result of changes in observable market data relating to market interest rates, loan prepayment speeds and other factors, could impact our financial condition and results of operations either positively or adversely. We have engaged a recognized third party to periodically evaluate the valuation of the mortgage servicing rights asset.
Valuation of Acquired Assets and Liabilities. We are required to record assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value, which is an estimate determined by the use of internal or other valuation techniques. These valuation estimates result in goodwill and other intangible assets. Such assets are subject to ongoing periodic impairment tests and are evaluated using various fair value techniques.
Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangibles. SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangibles, addresses the method of identifying and measuring goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination, eliminates further amortization of goodwill, and requires periodic impairment evaluations of goodwill. Impairment evaluations are required to be performed annually and may be required more frequently if certain conditions indicating potential impairment exist. If we were to determine that our goodwill was impaired, the recognition of an impairment charge could have an adverse impact on our results of operations in the period that the impairment occurred or on our financial position. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment using several standard valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analyses, as well as an estimation of the impact of business conditions. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different estimates of carrying value. We prepare the valuation analyses, which are then reviewed by the Board of Directors. Different estimates or assumptions are also utilized to determine the appropriate carrying value of other assets including, but not limited to, property, plant and equipment, core deposit intangible, and the overall collectibility of loans and receivables.
Interest Income Recognition. Interest on loans is included in income as earned based upon interest rates applied to unpaid principal. Interest is not accrued on loans 90 days or more past due unless they are adequately secured and in the process of collection or on other loans when we believe collection is doubtful. All loans considered impaired are non-accruing. Interest on non-accruing loans is recognized as income when the ultimate collectibility of interest is no longer considered doubtful. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued, but not collected, is reversed against current-period interest income; therefore, an increase in loans on non-accrual status reduces interest income. If a loan is removed from non-accrual status, all previously unrecognized interest is collected and recorded as interest income.
Page 24
Accounting for Post-retirement Plans. We use a December 31 measurement date to determine the expenses for our post-retirement plans and related financial disclosure information. Post-retirement plan expense is sensitive to changes in eligible employees (and their related demographics) and to changes in the discount rate and other expected rates, such as medical cost trends rates. As with the computations on plan expense, cash contribution requirements are also sensitive to such changes.
Tax Estimates. We account for income taxes by deferring income taxes based on estimated future tax effects of differences between the tax and book basis of assets and liabilities considering the provisions of enacted tax laws. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the Consolidated Statement of Condition. We must also assess the likelihood that any deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and establish a valuation allowance for those assets determined not likely to be recoverable. Judgment is required in determining the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting deferred tax assets and liabilities, including projections of future taxable income. Although we have determined a valuation allowance is not required for all deferred tax assets, there is no guarantee that these assets will be recognizable. Although not currently under review, income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 are open to audit by federal and Maine authorities. If the Company, as a result of an audit, was assessed interest and penalties, the amounts would be recorded through other non-interest expense.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Overview
For the six months ended June 30, 2008:
Net income increased $3.6 million, or 36.8%, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. Net income per diluted share increased 17.7% to $1.73, compared to $1.47 per diluted share earned during the first six months of 2007. The following were major factors contributing to the results of the first six months of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007:
| The Company completed its acquisition of Union Bankshares Company (Union) on January 3, 2008, thus the results of Union Bankshares and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Union Trust Company, have been included in the results of the Company since that date. The 36.8% increase in net income is primarily a result of the acquisition. As partial consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued 1.2 million shares of common stock, thus impacting the earnings per share calculation, which increased 17.7% for the first six months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. |
| Net interest income increased $10.3 million, or 41.5%, which was a net result of: |
| an increase in interest income of $10.9 million, or 20.1%, which was primarily due to increased earning asset balances resulting from the Union acquisition and earnings on investments as new securities were added at higher yields than maturities, and |
| an increase in interest expense of $583,000, or 2.0%, primarily due to the net impact of increased average borrowings resulting from the Union acquisition, mostly offset by a decrease in the overall cost of funds. |
| Provision for loan and lease losses increased $850,000 primarily due to the deterioration of a select number of credits and greater stress in the Companys loan portfolio brought on by a weakening economy. |
| Non-interest income increased $2.8 million, or 44.9%, primarily due to an increase in income from fiduciary services at Acadia Trust, N.A. and in brokerage and insurance commissions at Acadia Financial Consultants driven by the increases in assets under management resulting from the Union acquisition, and an increase in service charges on deposit accounts and other service charges due the addition of several thousand new accounts related to the Union acquisition. |
| Non-interest expense increased $7.1 million, or 41.7%, primarily due to an increase in salary and benefits resulting from the Union acquisition and normal salary and benefit increases, an increase in net occupancy and fixed asset costs resulting from the addition of branches resulting from the Union acquisition, and an increase in other expenses due to one-time merger integration costs. |
Page 25
For the three months ended June 30, 2008:
Impacted by the Union acquisition, net income increased $2.2 million, or 43.8%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, and earnings per diluted share increased 22.7% to $0.92 compared to $0.75 per diluted share earned during the second quarter of 2007. The following were major factors contributing to the results of the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007:
| Net interest income increased $5.6 million, or 45.1%, which was a result of: |
| an increase in interest income of $5.0 million, or 18.2%, which was primarily due to increased earning asset balances resulting from the Union acquisition, and |
| a decrease in interest expense of $616,000, or 4.1%, primarily due to the net impact of a decrease in the rates paid on deposits, partially offset by increased average borrowings resulting from the Union acquisition. |
| Provision for loan and lease losses increased $450,000 primarily due to the deterioration of a select number of credits and greater stress in the Companys loan portfolio brought on by a weakening economy. |
| Non-interest income increased $1.4 million, or 45.1%, primarily due to an increase in income from fiduciary services at Acadia Trust, N.A. and in brokerage and insurance commissions at Acadia Financial Consultants driven by the increases in assets under management resulting from the Union acquisition, and an increase in service charges on deposit accounts and other service charges due the addition of several thousand new accounts related to the Union acquisition. |
| Non-interest expense increased $3.4 million, or 40.2%, primarily due to an increase in salary and benefits resulting from the Union acquisition and normal salary and benefit increases, and an increase in net occupancy and fixed asset costs resulting from the addition of branches resulting from the Union acquisition. |
Financial condition at June 30, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007:
| Loans increased $381.3 million, or 33.3%, as the Company acquired $366.6 million in loans in the Union acquisition and had net growth in the loan portfolio. |
| Investments increased $132.8 million, or 28.6%, as the Company acquired $121.4 million in investments in the Union acquisition, and pre-invested anticipated cash flows early in 2008 in anticipation of a declining rate environment. |
| Deposits increased $291.2 million, or 26.0%, as the Company assumed $331.5 million in deposits in the Union acquisition, partially offset by a reduction in the use of brokered certificates of deposit. |
| Total borrowings increased $249.7 million, or 54.3%, as the Company assumed $165.3 million in borrowings in the Union acquisition, increased its overnight borrowings, and continued to shift from brokered deposits to wholesale borrowings due to favorable pricing. |
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $35.9 million, a $10.5 million, or 41.1%, increase compared to the net interest income of $25.5 million for the first six months of 2007. We experienced an increase in interest income on investments of $4.5 million, or 38.4%, during the first six months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, due to increases in volumes related to the Union acquisition and a pre-investment of cash flows, and an increase in yields as a result of new investments added to the portfolio toward the end of 2007 at higher yields than maturing investments. Interest income on loans increased $6.6 million, or 15.2%, during the six-month period of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007, due to an overall increase in the average balance of loans outstanding related to the Union acquisition, partially offset by a 65 basis point decline in the yield on loans as the Prime Rate decreases have had a negative impact on income on adjustable rate loans. Total interest expense increased $560,000, or 1.9%, during the first six months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. This increase was the result of volume increases in borrowings as a result of the Union acquisition, increased overnight borrowings, and
Page 26
increased wholesale borrowings. The impact of the increase in borrowing volumes was partially offset by declines in rates paid on borrowings and retail deposit products due to declines in market rates. In addition, during the first six months of 2008, we recorded $1.4 million of interest expense related to the junior subordinated debentures, which was $262,000 higher than the first six months of 2007 as the Company assumed additional debentures in the Union acquisition. Primarily reflecting the return to a positively-sloped yield curve and the impact of the Union acquisition, the net interest margin (net interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets) for the first six months of 2008 was 3.37%, a 31 basis point improvement from the 3.06% reported for the same period of 2007.
Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $18.3 million, a 44.5%, or $5.6 million, increase compared to $12.7 million in net interest income for the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to the impact of the Union acquisition and a decrease in the cost of funds due to recent declines in short-term rates.
The following tables, which present changes in interest income and interest expense by major asset and liability category for six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, illustrate the impact of average volume growth and rate changes. The income from tax-exempt assets, municipal investments and loans, 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. We may utilize derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swap agreements, which could have an effect on net interest income. The average amount of non-accrual loans can also affect the average yield on all outstanding loans. Average non-accrual loans for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $12.9 million and $9.1 million, respectively.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
Provisions are made in order to maintain the ALLL at a level that we believe is reasonable and reflective of the overall risk of loss inherent in the loan portfolio. During the first six months of 2008, we provided $950,000 of expense to the ALLL compared to $100,000 in the same period of 2007. See Note 11 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for an ALLL roll forward. The determination of an appropriate level of ALLL, and subsequent provision for loan and lease losses, which affects earnings, is based on our analysis of various economic factors and review of the loan portfolio, which may change due to numerous factors including loan growth, payoffs of lower quality loans, recoveries on previously charged-off loans, improvement in the financial condition of the borrowers, risk rating downgrades/upgrades and charge-offs. We utilize a comprehensive approach toward determining the ALLL, which includes an expanded risk rating system that enables us to adequately identify the risks being undertaken, as well as migration within the overall loan portfolio.
Despite being proactive on all matters relating to risk management, we have not been immune from the adverse effects of weakening national and local economies on a select number of credits within the Companys loan portfolio. This is evidenced by our non-performing loans to total loans ratio, which at 0.90% at June 30, 2008 is up from 0.56% at June 30, 2007. In addition, non-performing assets increased from $11.0 million, or 0.96%, of total loans at December 31, 2007, to $14.0 million, or 0.92% of total loans at June 30, 2008. Net charge-offs to total average loans through June 30, 2008 was 0.11% compared to 0.09% for the same period a year ago. Actual net charge-offs were $1.7 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $1.1 million in 2007. The allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans has decreased slightly to 1.13% versus a year ago of 1.17%, and is 125.6% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2008. These indicators are below historic levels reflecting the impact of the previously mentioned economic effects and the acquisition of the Union loan portfolio. Certain ratios and other indicators improved for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to March 31, 2008, as detailed in the following table.

We remain vigilant in the monitoring of asset quality and continue to be proactive in resolving credit issues and managing through the economic cycle. While we feel that our loan portfolio has been performing well overall, as indicated by the current overall delinquency level of 0.20% at June 30, 2008. However, we believe the economy is still in the early stages of a credit cycle correction and could be negatively affected by national, regional and local economic impacts. We continue to have concerns regarding various industries, and do not yet know how the economy will bear out. An additional future risk factor is a potential change in federal and state regulations which may impact a banks ability to take appropriate action to protect its financial interests in certain loan situations.
We believe that the actions taken in the first half of the year to increase our provision have been prudent given the risks and uncertainties in the economy at this time. At June 30, 2008, the ALLL of $17.3 million, or 1.13% of total loans outstanding, was appropriate given the current economic conditions in our service area and the condition of the loan portfolio, although if conditions continue to deteriorate, more provision may be needed and we may experience an increase in our OREO balance. As a percentage of total loans outstanding, the ALLL was 1.17% and 1.19% at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Non-interest Income
Total non-interest income increased $2.8 million, or 44.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. Income from fiduciary services increased $950,000, or 39.1%, due to increases in assets under administration at Acadia Trust, N.A. related to the Union acquisition, partially offset by market value declines in the portfolio reflecting the negative performance of the stock market during the first half of 2008. Brokerage and insurance commission income increased $294,000, or 68.5%, primarily due to increased assets under management resulting from the Union acquisition. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $948,000, or 54.4%, primarily due to the addition of over 16,000 deposit accounts resulting from the Union acquisition and increases in fees collected on insufficient funds. Other service charges and fees increased $457,000, or 52.1%, primarily due to the Union acquisition and increased debit card transaction fee income. As part of a restructuring of certain securities acquired during the Union acquisition, we recorded a gain on sale of securities of $180,000.
Total non-interest income increased $1.4 million, or 45.1%, during the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007 as income from fiduciary services increased $472,000, or 38.4%, due to acquisition-related increases in assets under administration at Acadia Trust, N.A., and brokerage and insurance commission income increased $175,000, or 76.1%, due to increased sales activity at Acadia Financial Consultants also due to the Union acquisition. Service charges on deposit accounts and other service charges and fees increased $566,000 and $245,000, respectively, primarily due to the addition of over 16,000 deposit accounts resulting from the Union acquisition, increases in fees collected on insufficient funds and increased debit card transaction fee income.
Non-interest Expense
Total non-interest expense increased $7.1 million, or 41.7%, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. Salary and employee benefit costs increased $3.8 million, or 40.6%, primarily due to the Union acquisition, including the retention of additional staff to facilitate the integration, and normal salary and benefit increases. Net occupancy and fixed asset costs were up $697,000, or 50.4%, and $723,000, or 65.1%, respectively, primarily due to the addition of 10 branches resulting from the Union acquisition. Other non-interest expenses increased $1.8 million, or 38.1%, for the first six months of 2008 compared to the first six months of 2007, primarily due to integration costs associated with the Union acquisition, increased foreclosure and collection costs related to the increase in non-performing assets, and other incremental cost increases resulting from the Union acquisition, such as courier costs, debit card program costs, postage, and donations. The efficiency ratio (non-interest expense / net interest income plus non-interest income) was 54.80% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a slight decrease from the 55.00% recorded in the same period of 2007.
Total non-interest expense increased $3.4 million, or 40.2%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period of 2007, as salary and employee benefit costs increased $1.8 million, or 38.0% due to the Union acquisition, normal salary increases and higher incentive costs. Net occupancy and furniture and equipment costs combined increased $711,000, primarily due to the addition of 10 branches resulting from the Union acquisition. Other non-interest expenses increased $963,000, or 40.4%, for the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007, primarily due to increased foreclosure and collection costs related to the increase in non-performing assets, and other incremental cost increases resulting from the Union acquisition, such as courier costs, debit card program costs, and postage.
Second Quarter 2008 Compared to First Quarter 2008
In comparing the second and first quarters of 2008, which represent the first two quarters following the Union acquisition, the Company highlighted the following results:
| Earnings per diluted share of $0.92 were $0.12, or 15.0%, higher than the $0.80 reported in the first quarter. |
| Net income of $7.1 million was $913,000, or 14.8% greater than the $6.2 million reported in the first quarter. |
| Net interest income for the second quarter increased $735,000, or 4.3%, over the first quarter primarily due to a reduction in the cost of funds resulting from the continued declines in short-term rates. |
Page 30
| Non-interest income for the second quarter increased $249,000, or 5.7%, over the first quarter due to increased service charges on deposit accounts primarily related to an increase in insufficient funds fees collected, and brokerage and insurance commission income at Acadia Financial Consultants primarily related to increased annuity sales. |
| Non-interest expenses decreased $348,000 reflecting non-recurring integration-related costs recorded in the first quarter, and the run-off of core deposit intangible amortization related to the 1998 branch acquisition. |
| Due to the results noted above, the efficiency ratio improved to 52.83% for the second quarter compared to 56.85% for the first quarter. |
| Total assets increased $15.1 million from March 31 to June 30, which included an $8.8 million increase in the loan portfolio and a $2.7 million increase in the investment portfolio. |
| Total deposits increased $18.2 million during the second quarter to end at $1.4 billion. |
| Asset quality data improved quarter-on-quarter, as measured by a decrease in non-performing assets of $2.1 million, or 12.8%, a decrease in quarterly net charge-offs which were $1.5 million in the first quarter compared to $163,000 in the second quarter, and a decrease in non-performing loans to total loans which improved to 0.90% from 1.02%. The Company reduced the provision to $450,000 for the second quarter compared to $500,000 in the first quarter. |
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Assets
During the six months of 2008, average assets of $2.3 billion increased $541.2 million, or 30.9%, compared to the same period in 2007. This increase was primarily the result of the Union acquisition, as described in Note 14 to the financial statements, partially offset by continued declines in the commercial loan portfolio. In addition to the assets acquired in the Union acquisition, we increased the average investment portfolio approximately $34.5 million, while the average loan portfolio experienced run-off of approximately $53.0 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period of 2007.
Total assets of $2.3 billion have increased $596.8 million, or 34.8%, since December 31, 2007, primarily resulting from the acquisition of $580.5 million of assets in the Union acquisition. In addition to the impact of the Union acquisition, investment balances increased $11.4 million resulting from a strategy to pre-invest a portion of expected 2008 cash flows prior to anticipated market rate declines, and the loan portfolio increased approximately $14.7 million, primarily in the consumer portfolio.
Liabilities and Shareholders Equity
During the first six months of 2008, average liabilities increased $480.7 million, or 29.3%, compared to the same period in 2007. This increase was primarily the result of the Union acquisition, as described in Note 14, partially offset by net declines in deposit balances (primarily in savings and transaction accounts) and brokered certificate of deposit portfolio. In addition to the liabilities assumed in the Union acquisition, we increased our average use of wholesale borrowings approximately $65.0 million due to favorable rates and terms, primarily in wholesale repurchase agreements and in overnight FHLB borrowings. The increase in borrowings was required due to declines in average deposits of approximately $23.8 million and brokered certificates of deposit of approximately $68.5 million.
Total liabilities have increased $544.9 million, or 34.1%, since December 31, 2007, to $2.1 billion at June 30, 2008, primarily due to the Union acquisition. Total deposits increased $291.2 million primarily due to the deposits assumed in the Union acquisition, partially offset by seasonal declines in transaction accounts, and a reduction in brokered certificates of deposit reflecting the shift to wholesale borrowings due to favorable pricing. We increased our borrowings $249.7 million which was comprised of the $165.3 million assumed in the Union acquisition, and increases in borrowings with the FHLBB (primarily overnight), and wholesale repurchase agreements. In addition, we recorded a $5.0 million due to broker liability related to a quarter-end trade date security purchase.
Page 31
Total shareholders equity at June 30, 2008 increased $51.9 million, or 43.2%, over the balance at December 31, 2007, as a result of the issuance of 1.2 million shares valued at $43.5 million related to the Union acquisition plus current year net income of $13.3 million, partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in other comprehensive income primarily due to an increase in the unrealized loss position of the available for sale investment portfolio, $1.9 million used to repurchase common stock, and $1.9 million declared to shareholders in the form of a dividend.
Fair Value
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delays the effective date for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Although this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements, it has expanded our disclosures.
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) or identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date, Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data, and Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a companys own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
In accordance with SFAS No. 157, actual market prices (Level 1 inputs) and observable market information (Level 2 inputs) are considered in determining fair value of financial instruments, even if the markets for such instruments are less liquid than they were previously, unless Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are prices that are the result of a forced liquidation or distress sale; thus, Level 3 (unobservable) inputs are only used when Level 1 and Level 2 inputs are not available. We do not have assets and liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity needs require the availability of cash to meet the withdrawal demands of depositors and credit commitments to borrowers. Liquidity is defined as our ability to maintain availability of funds to meet customer needs, as well as to support our asset base. The primary objective of liquidity management is to maintain a balance between sources and uses of funds to meet our cash flow needs in the most economical and expedient manner. Due to the potential for unexpected fluctuations in both deposits and loans, active management of liquidity is necessary. We maintain various sources of funding and levels of liquid assets in excess of regulatory guidelines in order to satisfy varied liquidity demands. We monitor liquidity in accordance with internal guidelines and all applicable regulatory requirements. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, our level of liquidity exceeded target levels. We believe that we currently have appropriate liquidity available to respond to liquidity demands. Sources of funds that we utilized consist of deposits, borrowings from the FHLBB and other sources, cash flows from operations, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans, investments and mortgage-backed securities and the sales of mortgage loans.
Deposits continue to represent our primary source of funds. For the first six months of 2008, average deposits of $1.4 billion increased $239.1 million, or 20.4%, compared to the first six months of 2007, which was primarily the result of the Union acquisition, partially offset by declines in retail deposit balances and continued run-off in
Page 32
the brokered certificate of deposit portfolio. Included in the money market deposit category are deposits from Acadia Trust, N.A., representing client funds. The balance in the Acadia Trust, N.A. client money market account, which was $82.5 million on June 30, 2008, could increase or decrease depending upon changes in the portfolios of the clients of Acadia Trust, N.A.
Borrowings are used to supplement deposits as a source of liquidity. In addition to borrowings from the FHLBB, we purchase federal funds, sell securities under agreements to repurchase and utilize treasury tax and loan accounts. Average borrowings and long-term debt for the first six months of 2008 was $688.1 million, an increase of $230.3 million, over the first six months of 2007. The increase included the impact of the $165.3 million of borrowings assumed in the Union acquisition and $65.0 million in additional wholesale borrowings, primarily in repurchase agreements and overnight FHLBB borrowings. We secure borrowings from the FHLBB, whose advances remained the largest non-deposit-related, interest-bearing funding source, with qualified residential real estate loans, certain investment securities and certain other assets available to be pledged. The carrying value of loans pledged as collateral at the FHLBB was $709.1 million and $372.7 million at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The carrying value of securities pledged as collateral at the FHLBB was $157.4 million and $170.2 million at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Through our bank subsidiary, we have an available line of credit with FHLBB of $13.0 million at June 30, 2008 and 2007. We had no outstanding balance on the line of credit with the FHLBB at June 30, 2008 and 2007.
In addition to the liquidity sources discussed above, we believe the investment portfolio and residential loan portfolio provide a significant amount of contingent liquidity that could be accessed in a reasonable time period through sales of those portfolios. However, included in the investment portfolio are $20.0 million in auction rate securities which have recently failed at auction. As detailed in Note 4 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, we are currently collecting all amounts due according to contractual terms and have the ability and intent to hold the securities until they clear auction, are called, or mature. We also believe that we have additional untapped access to the national brokered deposit market, commercial reverse repurchase transaction market and the Federal Reserve Bank discount window. These sources are considered as liquidity alternatives in our contingent liquidity plan. We believe that the level of liquidity is sufficient to meet current and future funding requirements. However, changes in economic conditions, including consumer saving habits and availability or access to the national brokered deposit and commercial repurchase markets, could significantly impact our liquidity position.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Under Federal Reserve Board (FRB) guidelines, bank holding companies are required to maintain capital based on risk-adjusted assets. These capital requirements represent quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by our regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). These guidelines apply to us 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 (as defined). Our capital ratios and those of our bank subsidiary exceeded regulatory guidelines at June 30, 2008 and 2007. Our Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets was 10.77% and 11.80% at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In addition to risk-based capital requirements, the FRB requires bank holding companies to maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio of core capital to total assets of 4.0%. Total assets for this purpose do not include goodwill and any other intangible assets and investments that the FRB determines should be deducted. Our leverage ratio at June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 6.89% and 7.83%, respectively.
Although the junior subordinated debentures are recorded as a liability on our Statement of Condition, we are permitted, in accordance with regulatory guidelines, to include, subject to certain limits, the trust preferred securities in our calculation of risk-based capital. At June 30, 2008, the full $43.3 million of the trust preferred securities was included in Tier 1 and total risk-based capital.
Our principal cash requirement is the payment of dividends on our common stock as and when declared by the Board of Directors. We are primarily dependent upon the payment of cash dividends by our subsidiaries to service our commitments. We, as the sole shareholder of our subsidiaries, are entitled to dividends when and as declared by each subsidiarys Board of Directors from legally available funds. We paid dividends to shareholders in the aggregate amount of $3.5 million and $3.2 million for first six months of 2008 and 2007, respectively.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
In the normal course of business, we are a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, which are not reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. These financial instruments include lending commitments and letters of credit. Those instruments involve varying degrees of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. We follow the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments, including requiring similar collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At June 30, 2008, we had the following levels of commitments to extend credit:

We are a party to several off-balance sheet contractual obligations through lease agreements on a number of branch facilities. We have an obligation and commitment to make future payments under these contracts. Borrowings from the FHLBB consist of short- and long-term fixed and variable rate borrowings and are collateralized by all stock in the FHLBB and a blanket lien on qualified collateral consisting primarily of loans with first mortgages secured by one-to-four family properties, certain pledged investment securities and other qualified assets. Other borrowed funds include treasury, tax and loan deposits and securities sold under repurchase agreements. We have an obligation and commitment to repay all borrowings and debentures. These commitments, borrowings, junior subordinated debentures and the related payments are made during the normal course of business.
At June 30, 2008, we had the following levels of contractual obligations for the remainder of 2008 and the fiscal years thereafter:

We may use derivative instruments as partial hedges against large fluctuations in interest rates. We may also use interest rate swap and floor instruments to partially hedge against potentially lower yields on the variable prime rate loan category in a declining rate environment. If rates were to decline, resulting in reduced income on the adjustable rate loans, there would be an increased income flow from the interest rate swap and floor instruments. We may also use cap instruments to partially hedge against increases in short-term borrowing rates. If rates were to rise, resulting in an increased interest cost, there would be an increased income flow from the cap instruments. These financial instruments are factored into our overall interest rate risk position. We regularly review the credit quality of the counterparty from which the instruments have been purchased. At June 30, 2008, we had only a cap agreement with a notional amount of $20.0 million.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE 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. Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of our asset/liability management process, which is governed by policies established by the CNB Board of Directors, and are reviewed and approved annually. The Board of Directors Asset/Liability Committee (Board ALCO) delegates responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability management policies to the Management Asset/Liability Committee (Management ALCO). In this capacity, Management ALCO develops guidelines and strategies impacting our asset/liability management-related activities based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels/trends. The Management ALCO and Board ALCO jointly meet on a quarterly basis to review strategies, policies, economic conditions and various activities as part of the management of these risks.
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 our financial instruments also change, thereby impacting net interest income (NII), the primary component of our earnings. Board and Management ALCO utilize the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of NII to sustained interest rate changes. While Board and Management ALCO routinely monitor simulated NII sensitivity over a rolling 2-year horizon, they also utilize 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 interest-bearing liabilities reflected on our Statement of Condition, 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 a 200 basis point upward and 100 basis point downward shift in interest rates. Although our policy specifies a 200 basis point downward shift, this could result in negative rates as many benchmark rates are currently below 2.00%. A parallel and pro rata shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed. The following reflects our NII sensitivity analysis as measured during the second quarter of 2008.
Rate Change |
Estimated Changes in NII |
||
+200bp |
(0.40 | )% | |
-100bp |
(0.40 | )% |
The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a 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, we 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 exposure during the first six months of 2008 were a steeper yield curve and funding extensions at lower rates. A portion of these funding extensions include imbedded caps which will mitigate exposure to rising rates over the life of the cap. If rates remain at or near current levels and the balance sheet mix remains similar, net interest income is projected to trend slightly higher during the first year as funding reprices at lower rates, while assets yields are slower to decline. Beyond year one, net interest income is expected to level off as funding costs stabilize and move in tandem with asset yields. In a falling interest rate environment, net interest income is expected to decrease slightly during the first year, as floating rate asset yields reprice lower more quickly than funding costs. Beyond the first year, as
Page 35
opportunities to further reduce funding costs become more difficult and accelerated loan prepayments continue to drive asset yields lower, a more downward trend in net interest income is expected. In a sustained rising interest rate environment, net interest income is expected to initially trend slightly lower with increases in funding costs and slower rising asset yields. However, once funding costs stabilize and the asset base continues to reprice upward and replace lower yields net interest income is expected to increase in year two. If the yield curve were to flatten as rates rise, some of the benefit could be diminished. The risk in the various rate scenarios is well within our policy limits.
Periodically, if deemed appropriate, we use interest rate swaps, floors and caps, which are common derivative financial instruments, to hedge interest rate risk position. The Board of Directors has approved hedging policy statements governing the use of these instruments. As of June 30, 2008, we had a notional principal amount of $20.0 million in a cap agreement. Board and Management ALCO monitor derivative activities relative to its expectation and our hedging policies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), the Companys management conducted an evaluation with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial & Accounting Officer), regarding the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the last fiscal quarter covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, the Company and its management recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial & Accounting Officer) concluded that they believe the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. The Company intends to continue to review and document the disclosure controls and procedures, including the internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes to the disclosure controls and procedures to enhance their effectiveness and to ensure that the systems evolve with the Companys business.
There was no change in the internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
