PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Camden National Corporation, (the "Company") is a multi-bank financial
services holding company headquartered in Camden, Maine. The Company was
founded on January 2, 1985 as a result of a corporate reorganization, in which
the shareholders of Camden National Bank, which was founded in 1875, exchanged
their stock for shares of the Company, and Camden National Bank became a wholly-
owned subsidiary of the Company. As of December 29, 1995 the Company acquired
100% of the outstanding stock of United Bank and 51% of the outstanding stock of
Trust Company of Maine, Inc. by merging with their then parent company,
UNITEDCORP, Bangor, Maine. On December 20, 1999, the Company completed the
acquisition of KSB Bancorp, Inc. ("KSB"), a bank holding company with one
principal subsidiary, Kingfield Bank. The acquisition of KSB was accounted for
under the pooling-of-interests method and, as such, financial information
included in this Report presents the combined financial condition and results of
operations of both companies as if they had operated as a combined entity for
all periods presented. As of December 31, 1999, the Company's securities
consisted of one class of common stock, no par value, of which there were
8,167,358 shares outstanding held of record by approximately 1,130 shareholders.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Camden National Bank and
UnitedKingfield Bank, and its majority-owned subsidiary, Trust Company of Maine,
Inc. UnitedKingfield Bank is the successor by merger, effective February 4,
2000 of United Bank and Kingfield Bank. All inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company's wholly-owned bank subsidiaries operate as separate commercial
banks with branches serving mid-coast, central and western Maine. The banks are
full-service financial institutions that focus primarily on attracting deposits
from the general public through their branches and using such deposits to
originate residential mortgage loans, commercial business loans, commercial real
estate loans, and a variety of consumer loans.

Camden National Bank is a national banking organization organized under the
laws of the United States. Camden National Bank is subject to regulation,
supervision and regular examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency. Camden National Bank is based in Camden, Maine, and offers services
in the communities of Camden, Union, Rockland, Thomaston, Belfast, Bucksport,
Vinalhaven, Damariscotta, and Waldoboro. Customers also have access to services
offered by Camden National Bank through the internet at www.camdennational.com.

UnitedKingfield Bank is a banking organization chartered under the laws of the
State of Maine. UnitedKingfield is subject to regulation, supervision and
regular examination by the FDIC and the Maine Superintendent. UnitedKingfield
Bank is based in Bangor, Maine, and is the successor by merger, effective
February 4, 2000, of United Bank and Kingfield Bank. UnitedKingfield Bank
offers services in the communities of Bangor, Bingham, Corinth, Dover-Foxcroft,
Farmington, Greenville, Hampden, Hermon, Jackman, Kingfield, Lewiston, Madison,
Milo, Phillips, Rangeley, Stratton, Strong and Winterport Maine. Customers also
have access to services offered by UnitedKingfield bank through the internet at
www.unitedkingfield.com.

The Company's majority-owned trust company subsidiary, Trust Company of Maine,
Inc., offers a broad range of trust and trust investment services, in addition
to retirement and pension plan management services. The financial services
provided by the Trust Company of Maine, Inc., complement the services provided
by the Company's bank subsidiaries by offering customers investment management
services.

The Company competes principally in mid-coast Maine through its largest
subsidiary, Camden National Bank. Camden National Bank considers its primary
market areas to be in two counties, Knox and Waldo. These two counties have a
combined population of approximately 76,000 people. The economy of these
counties is based primarily on tourism, and is also supported by a substantial
population of retirees. Major competitors in these markets include local
branches of large regional bank affiliates, as well as local independent banks,
thrift institutions and credit unions. Other competitors for deposits and loans
within Camden National Bank's market include insurance companies, money market
funds, consumer finance companies and financing affiliates of consumer durable
goods manufacturers.

Page 3


The Company, through UnitedKingfield Bank, also competes in both the central
and western Maine areas. Most of UnitedKingfield's offices are located in
communities that can generally be characterized as rural areas, with the
exception of Bangor and Lewiston. The greater Bangor area has a population of
approximately 100,000 people. Major competitors in these markets include local
branches of large regional bank affiliates, as well as local independent banks,
thrift institutions and credit unions. Other competitors for deposits and loans
within UnitedKingfield Bank's market include insurance companies, money market
funds, consumer finance companies and financing affiliates of consumer durable
goods manufacturers.

The Company is committed to the philosophy of serving the financial needs of
customers in local communities. The Company, through Camden National Bank and
UnitedKingfield Bank has branches that are located in small towns within the
Company's geographic market areas. The Company believes that the local needs,
and its comprehensive retail and small business products, together with rapid
decision-making at the branch level, enable its banks to compete effectively.
No single person or group of persons provides a material portion of the
Company's deposits, the loss of any one or more of which would have a materially
adverse effect on the business of the Company, nor is a material portion of the
Company's loans concentrated within a single industry or group of related
industries.

The Company had consolidated asset growth of 10.7% or $89.1 million during
1999. The primary contributing factor to this growth was the increase in
lending activity at the Company's bank subsidiaries. As the business continued
to grow during this past year, each subsidiary focused on customer service.
Supporting this concept, is the Company's performance-based compensation
program. This program is designed to create an environment where employees take
a more personal interest in the performance of the Company and are rewarded for
balancing profit with growth and quality with productivity.

The Company employs approximately 278 people on a full-time equivalent basis.
Management believes that employee relations are good, and there are no known
disputes between management and employees. Certain eligible employees who are
at least 21 years of age and who have worked for the Company for at least one
year are eligible for participation in the Company's Retirement Savings 401(k)
Plan and Defined Benefit Retirement Plan. Certain eligible employees of the
Company also receive group insurance benefits. Certain Executive Officers of
the Company may also participate in the 1993 Stock Option Plan and the
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

The Company, as successor to KSB, maintains a Bank Recognition and Retention
Plan ("BRRP") as a method of providing certain officers and other employees of
the Company with a proprietary interest in the Company. The Company contributed
funds to the recognition plan to enable them to acquire, in aggregate, 56,045
shares of common stock. Participants are vested at a rate of 20% per year
commencing one year from the date of the award.

As a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956 (the "BHC Act"), the Company is subject to the regulations and supervision
of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). The BHC Act requires the Company to file
reports with the FRB and provide additional information requested by the FRB.
The Company must receive the approval of the FRB before it may acquire all or
substantially all of the assets of any bank, or ownership or control of the
voting shares of any bank if, after giving effect to such acquisition of shares,
the Company would own or control more than 5 percent of the voting shares of
such bank.

The Company and its subsidiaries, including any it may acquire or organize in
the future, will be deemed to be affiliates of Camden National Bank and
UnitedKingfield Bank under the Federal Reserve Act. That Act establishes
certain restrictions that limit bank transactions with affiliates. The Company
will also be subject to restrictions on the underwriting and the public sale and
distribution of securities. It is prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in
arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, sale or lease of
property, or furnishing of services.

On November 12, 1999. President Clinton signed into law legislation that
allows bank holding companies to engage in a wider range of nonbanking
activities, including greater authority to engage in securities and insurance
activities. Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLB Act"), a bank holding
company that elects to become a financial holding company may engage in any
activity that the Federal Reserve Board, in consultation with the Secretary of
the Treasury, determines by regulation or order is (1) financial in nature, (2)
incidental to any such financial activity, or (3) complementary to any such
financial activity and does not pose a

Page 4


substantial risk to the safety or soundness of depository institutions or the
financial system generally. The GLB Act makes significant changes in U.S.
Banking law, principally by repealing the restrictive provisions of the 1933
Glass-Steagall Act. The GLB Act specifies certain activities that are deemed to
be financial in nature, including lending, exchanging, transferring, investing
for others, or safeguarding money or securities; underwriting and selling
insurance; providing financial, investment, or economic advisory services;
underwriting, dealing in or making a market in, securities; and any activity
currently permitted for bank holding companies by the Federal Reserve Board
under section 4(c)(8) of the Banking Holding Company Act. The GLB Act does not
authorize banks or their affiliates to engage in commercial activities that are
not financial in nature. A bank holding company may elect to be treated a s a
financial holding company only if all depository institution subsidiaries or the
holding company are well capitalized, well managed and have at least a
satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act.

National banks are also authorized by the GLB Act to engage, through
"financial subsidiaries," in any activity that is permissible for a financial
holding company (as described above) and any activity that the Secretary of the
Treasury, in consultation with the Federal Reserve Board, determines is
financial in nature or incidental to any such financial activity, except (1)
insurance underwriting, (2) real estate development or real estate investment
activities (unless otherwise permitted by law), (3) insurance company portfolio
investments and (4) merchant banking. The authority of a national bank to
invest in a financial subsidiary is subject to a number of conditions,
including, among other things, requirements that the bank must be well managed
and well capitalized (after deducting from the bank's capital outstanding
investments in financial subsidiaries). The GLB Act provides that state banks
may invest in financial subsidiaries (assuming they have the requisite
investment authority under applicable state law) subject to the same conditions
that apply to national bank investments in financial subsidiaries.

The GLB Act also contains a number of other provisions that will affect the
Company's operations and the operations of all financial institutions. One of
the new provisions relates to the financial privacy of consumers, authorizing
federal banking regulators to adopt rules that will limit the ability of banks
and other financial entities to disclose non-public information about consumers
to non-affiliated entities. These limitations are expected to require more
disclosure to consumers, and in some circumstances, to require consent by the
consumer before information is allowed to be provided to a third party.

At this time, the Company is unable to predict the impact the GLB Act may have
upon its or its subsidiaries financial condition or results of operations.

Federal Reserve Regulation "Y" (12 C.F.R. Part 225) sets forth those
activities which are regarded as closely related to banking or managing or
controlling banks and, thus, are permissible activities that may be engaged in
by bank holding companies, subject to approval in individual cases by the FRB.
Litigation has challenged the validity of certain activities authorized by the
FRB for the bank holding companies, and the FRB has various regulations and
applications in this regard still under consideration.

Under Maine law, dividends and other distributions by the Company with respect
to its stock are subject to declaration by the Board of Directors at its
discretion out of net assets. Dividends cannot be declared and paid when such
payment would make the Company insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they come
due.

FRB policy prohibits a bank holding company from declaring or paying a cash
dividend which would impose undue pressure on the capital of subsidiary banks or
would be funded only through borrowings or other arrangements that might
adversely affect the holding company's financial position. The policy further
declares that a bank holding company should not continue its existing rate of
cash dividends on its common stock unless its net income is sufficient to fully
fund each dividend and its prospective rate of earnings retention appears
consistent with its capital needs, asset quality and overall financial
condition. Other FRB policies forbid the payment by bank subsidiaries to their
parent companies of management fees that are unreasonable in amount or exceed a
fair market value of the services rendered (or, if no market exists, actual
costs plus a reasonable profit).

In addition, the FRB has authority to prohibit banks that it regulates from
engaging in practices, which in the opinion of the FRB are unsafe or unsound.
Such practices may include the payment of dividends under some

Page 5


circumstances. Moreover, the payment of dividends may be inconsistent with
capital adequacy guidelines. The Company may be subject, under State and/or
Federal law, to assessment to restore the capital of the Bank should it become
impaired.

The Company is subject to the minimum capital requirements of the FRB. As a
result of these requirements, the growth in assets of the Company is limited by
the amount of its capital accounts as defined by the FRB. Capital requirements
may have an effect on profitability and the payment of distributions by the
Company. If the Company is unable to increase its assets without violating the
minimum capital requirements, or is forced to reduce assets, its ability to
generate earnings would be reduced.

The FRB has adopted guidelines utilizing a risk-based capital structure.
These guidelines apply to the Company on a consolidated basis.

The risk-based guidelines require the Company to maintain a level of capital
based primarily on the risk of its assets and off-balance sheet items. Assets
and off-balance sheet items are placed in one of four risk categories. Assets
in the first category, such as cash, have no risk and, therefore, carry a zero
percent risk-weight and require no capital support. Capital support is required
for assets in the remaining three risk categories--those categories having a
risk-weight of 20 percent, 50 percent and 100 percent, respectively.

A banking organization's risk-based capital ratio is calculated by dividing
its qualifying total capital base by its risk-weighted assets. Qualifying
capital is divided into two tiers. Core capital (Tier 1) consists of common
shareholders' equity capital, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and
minority interests in equity capital accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less
goodwill and other intangible assets. Supplementary capital (Tier 2) consists
of, among other items, allowance for possible loan and lease losses, cumulative
and limited-life preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities and
subordinated debt. Tier 2 capital will qualify as a part of the Bank's total
capital up to a maximum of 100 percent of the Bank's Tier 1 capital. Amounts in
excess of these limits may be issued but are not included in the calculation of
the risk-based capital ratio.

Under current guidelines, banking organizations must maintain a risk-based
capital ratio of 8 percent, of which at least 4 percent must be in the form of
core capital. The Company is and expects to remain in compliance with these
guidelines.

The purposes of the risk-based capital guidelines are twofold--to make capital
requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiled among banking
organizations, and to aid in making the definition of bank capital uniform
internationally. To achieve these purposes, the guidelines recognize the
riskiness of assets by lowering capital requirements for some assets that
clearly have less risk than others, and they recognize that there are risks
inherent in off-balance sheet activities. The guidelines require that banking
organizations hold capital to support such activities. In addition, the
guidelines establish a definition of capital and minimum risk-based capital
standards which are consistent on an international basis and that place a
greater emphasis on equity capital.

The FRB has also adopted a minimum leverage ratio which is intended to
supplement the risk-based capital requirements and to insure that all financial
institutions continue to maintain a minimum level of capital. As with the risk-
based capital guidelines, the leverage capital guidelines apply to the Company
on a consolidated basis.

The leverage-based capital requirement stipulates that banking organizations
maintain a minimum level of Tier 1 capital to total assets. The most highly
rated banks in terms of safe and sound operation that are not experiencing or
anticipating significant growth are required to have Tier 1 capital equal to at
least 3 percent of total assets. All other banks are expected to maintain a
minimum leverage capital ratio (i.e., Tier 1 capital divided by total assets) in
excess of the 3 percent minimum level. The FDIC regulations require a financial
institution to maintain a minimum ratio of 4 percent to 5 percent, depending on
the condition of the institution.

The Company's leverage ratio is and its management expects it to remain in
excess of regulatory requirements.

Camden National Bank is a national bank organized under the laws of the United
States. Camden National Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and its
deposits are insured by the FDIC. Camden National Bank is subject to
regulation, supervision and regular examination by the Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency (the "OCC"). The ability of Camden National Bank to pay
dividends is subject to the banking laws of the United States and to the powers
of the OCC and the FDIC. Under federal banking law, dividends can only be paid
out of the retained earnings of Camden National Bank's current and two preceding
fiscal years, or with the prior approval of the OCC. Under federal banking
regulation, a bank is prohibited from declaring a dividend or from making any
other capital distribution if the payment or distribution would cause the bank
to fail to meet minimum capital requirements.

UnitedKingfield Bank is a banking organization chartered under the laws of the
State of Maine. UnitedKingfield Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and
regular examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC")
and the Maine State Bureau of Banking. Under Maine law, dividends are subject
to declaration by the Board of Directors at its discretion. Dividends cannot be
declared and paid when such payment would make the bank insolvent or unable to
pay its debts as they come due.

The principal sources of funds essential to the business of banks and bank
holding companies are deposits, shareholders' equity, and borrowed funds. The
availability of these various sources of funds and other potential sources, such
as preferred stock or commercial paper, and the extent to which they are
utilized, depends on many factors, the most important of which are the FRB's
monetary policies and the relative costs of different types of funds. An
important function of the FRB is to regulate the national supply of bank credit
in order to combat recession and curb inflationary pressure. Among the
instruments of monetary policy used by the FRB to implement these objectives are
open market operations in United States Government securities, changes in the
discount rate on bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirement against
bank deposits. The monetary policies of the FRB have had a significant effect
on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to
continue to do so in the future. In view of the recent changes in regulations
affecting commercial banks and other actions and proposed actions by the federal
government and its monetary and fiscal authorities, including proposed changes
in the structure of banking in the United States, no prediction can be made as
to future changes in interest rates, credit availability, deposit levels, the
overall performance of banks generally or of the Company.

The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 was
enacted by Congress in September of 1994. Under the Act, beginning on September
29, 1995, bank holding companies may acquire banks in any state, notwithstanding
contrary state law, and all banks commonly owned by a bank holding company may
act as agents for one another. An agent bank may receive deposits, renew time
deposits, accept payments, and close and service loans for its principal bank,
but will not be considered a branch of that principal bank.

A bank may also merge with a bank in another state or operate either office as
a branch, notwithstanding pre-existing contrary state law. This interstate
merger provision automatically became effective in all states on June 1, 1997,
unless 1) the law became effective in a given state at any earlier date selected
by legislation in that state; or 2) the law did not become effective at all in a
given state because of legislation enacted before June 1, 1997 allowing that
state to opt out of coverage by the interstate merger provision. Upon
consummation of an interstate merger, the resulting bank may acquire or
establish branches on the same basis that any participant in the merger could
have if the merger had not taken place.

Banks may also merge with branches of banks in other states without merging
with the banks themselves, or may establish de novo branches in other states, if
the laws of the other states expressly permit such mergers or such interstate de
novo branching.

Management considers both the adequacy of the collateral and the other
resources of the borrower in determining the steps to be taken to collect non-
accrual and charged-off loans. Alternatives considered are foreclosure,
collecting on guarantees, restructuring the loan, or collection lawsuits.

The maturity dates of certificates of deposit, including broker certificates
of deposit, in denominations of $100,000 or more are set forth in the following
table. These deposits are generally considered to be more rate sensitive than
other deposits and, therefore, more likely to be withdrawn to obtain higher
yields elsewhere if available.

The dividend payout ratio was 40.90%, 33.74%, 29.31%, 24.70%, and 17.58% for
1999, 1998, 1997, 1996 and 1995 respectively. The average equity to average

1996 and 1995 respectively.

The borrowings utilized by the Company have primarily been advances from the
FHLB of Boston. In addition, the Company utilizes fed funds, treasury, tax and
loan deposits, and repurchase agreements secured by the United States Government
or Agency securities. The major portion of all borrowings matures or reprices
within the next six months. The following table sets forth certain information
regarding borrowed funds for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997.

Interest rate sensitivity or "Gap" management involves the maintenance of an
appropriate balance between interest sensitive assets and interest sensitive
liabilities. This reduces interest rate risk exposure while also providing
liquidity to satisfy the cash flow requirements of operations and customers'
fluctuating demands for funds, either in terms of loan requests or deposit
withdrawals. Major fluctuations in net interest income and net

Page 12


earnings could occur due to imbalances between the amounts of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as different repricing
characteristics. Gap management seeks to protect earnings by maintaining an
appropriate balance between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities in order to minimize fluctuations in the net interest margin and net
earnings in periods of volatile interest rates.

The following table sets forth the amount of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities outstanding, at December 31, 1999 which are
anticipated by the Company, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature
in each of the future time periods shown.
