PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Union Bankshares Company
We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated financial information of Union Bankshares Company and Subsidiary as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, and for the three-and nine-month periods then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s 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.

CONDENSED NOTESTO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASISOF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements, primarily consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007 or other interim periods. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
NOTE 3. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
On March 15, 2007, the Company purchased interest rate protection agreements (caps) with notional amounts of $20.0 million, a strike rate of 5.50% and a termination date of March 15, 2010. These caps were acquired to limit the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates. Under these agreements, the Company paid up front premiums of $66,000 for the right to receive cash flow payments above the predetermined cap rate, thus effectively capping its interest expense for the duration of the agreement. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity, management determined the cap did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, the fair value of the cap, $53,000 at September 30, 2007, is recorded in the consolidated balance sheets with the change in fair value recorded in other expense in the consolidated statement of income.
NOTE 4. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
The Stock Repurchase Program, as originally adopted on April 14, 2002, provided for the repurchase of up to 57,700 shares or up to 5% of the Company’s then-outstanding common stock. On October 27, 2004, the Company amended the Stock Repurchase Program to authorize the repurchase of up to 86,550 shares or 7.5% of its outstanding common stock as of the Program’s original adoption date. On February 22, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of 5,000 additional shares under the Stock Repurchase Program. On April 19, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company amended the Stock Repurchase Program to authorize the repurchase of an additional 54,529 shares, or 5%, of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of April 10, 2006. The repurchases may be made from time to time at the discretion of management of the Company. Shares repurchased by the Company are designated as authorized but unissued stock of the Company. The Company may utilize such shares for any purpose the Board of Directors of the Company deems advisable in compliance with applicable law. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had repurchased a total of 125,526 shares of its stock since the Program’s inception. On August 13, 2007 the repurchase plan was frozen to comply with the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Camden National Corporation.
NOTE 5. MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
Capitalized mortgage servicing rights are recognized, in accordance with SFAS No. 156,Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an amendment of SFAS No. 140, as separate assets when the Company continues to service residential real estate loans that have been sold in the secondary market. Capitalized servicing rights are included 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 assets. The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights approximated $1.3 million at September 30, 2007 and 2006.
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 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 other income.

NOTE 6. CORE DEPOSIT INTANGIBLE
On August 31, 2000, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Mid-Coast Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary, The Waldoboro Bank, FSB. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. The Company has an intangible asset subject to amortization related to the acquisition. The core deposit intangible is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 7 years, and reviewed for possible impairment when it is determined that events or changed circumstances may affect the underlying basis of the asset. The carrying amount is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | |

Amortization expense related to the core deposit intangible amounted to $27,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and $39,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
NOTE 7. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Company’s subsidiary has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all permanent full-time employees. Effective May 15, 2005, the Company froze the defined benefit pension plan. As a result, all affected employees retained any benefits accumulated to the effective date, but were no longer eligible to increase their benefit.
The Company also sponsors a postretirement benefit program that provides medical coverage and life insurance benefits to certain employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. Active employees accrue benefits over a 25-year period.
In December 2006, the Company implemented SFAS Statement No. 158,Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements (“FASB”) No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). This Statement requires changes to the existing reporting for defined benefit postretirement plans that, among other changes, requires the Company to recognize on its balance sheet the over funded or under funded status of the above described plans, measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation.

The Company’s expected pension and postretirement benefit payments for the third quarter of 2007 are $77,000 and $13,000, respectively and the expected pension and postretirement benefit payments for all of 2007 are $310,000 and $51,000, respectively. The expected pension and postretirement contributions for 2007 is $0 and $51,000, respectively.
The Company has established a defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Plan participants, who consist of all employees meeting minimum age and service requirements who elect to participate, are permitted to contribute a percentage of their wages to the plan on a pre-tax basis. In 2005, the Company amended the Plan to include an employer-paid match on amounts deferred by employees and an annual discretionary profit sharing contribution paid by the Company.
The Company also maintains a nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan for the benefit of certain key employees. Life insurance policies were acquired to generate income to offset the cost of the plan. The amount of the annual benefit is indexed to the financial performance of each insurance policy owned by the Company.

NOTE 8. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Both wholesale and retail repurchase agreements are collateralized by mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Government obligations. At September 30, 2007, the Company had $10.0 million of wholesale repurchase agreements outstanding with third party brokers and $8.1 million of customer repurchase agreements outstanding. The related securities are included in the securities available for sale portfolio.
NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”). This statement clarifies the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in a company’s financial statements. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company has adopted the provisions of FIN 48 and there was no material effect on the financial statements. As a result, there was no cumulative effect related to adopting FIN 48.
The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ending December 31, 2004 through 2006. The state income tax returns of the Company and its subsidiaries are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ending December 31, 2004 through 2006.
NOTE 10. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and early application is encouraged. We do not expect application of this Statement to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In February of 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, that are not otherwise permitted to be accounted for at fair value under the accounting standards, 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. This statement is effective as of the beginning of a company’s first fiscal year after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of analyzing the impact of SFAS No. 159.
NOTE 11. PROPOSED MERGER
Camden National Corporation and the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger on August 13, 2007, as amended. The merger agreement provides for the merger of the Company with and into Camden National Corporation, with Camden National Corporation being the surviving corporation. Promptly thereafter, the Company’s subsidiary, Union Trust Company, will merge with and into Camden National Bank with Camden National Bank being the surviving institution. The proposed merger will occur following approval of the proposal by the shareholders of the Company, and satisfaction or waiver of all other conditions to the merger. If the merger is completed, each share of the Company common stock will be converted into the right to receive either $68.00 in cash or 1.9106 shares of Camden National Corporation common stock, plus cash in lieu of any fractional share. The merger agreement includes allocation procedures intended to ensure that 40% of the outstanding shares of Company common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will be converted into the right to receive cash, and 60% of these shares of Company common stock will be converted into the right to receive Camden National Corporation common stock. In connection with the proposed merger, Camden National Corporation and the Company intend to file relevant materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the registration statement on Form S-4 containing a proxy statement/prospectus that was filed on September 21, 2007 and amended on October 23, 2007. Readers should review these materials when they become available as they contain more detailed information about the merger.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSIONAND ANALYSISOF FINANCIAL CONDITIONAND RESULTSOF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis reviews the consolidated financial condition of Union Bankshares Company (the “Company”) at September 30, 2007 and 2006 and December 31, 2006, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, notes and tables included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2007.
Certain information discussed below is presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis. Management believes the disclosure of tax-equivalent net interest income information improves the clarity of financial analysis, and is particularly useful to investors in understanding and evaluating the changes and trends in the Company’s results of operations.
Forward Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” which may be identified by the use of such words as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “planned,” “estimated” and “potential.” Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, estimates with respect to our financial condition, results of operations and business that are subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates. These factors include, but are not limited to:
| • | | The Company’s loan portfolio includes loans with a higher risk of loss. |
| • | | If the Company’s allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, earnings could decrease. |
| • | | Changes in interest rates could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. |
| • | | The local economy may affect future growth possibilities. |
| • | | The Company depends on its executive officers and key personnel to continue the implementation of its long-term business strategy and could be harmed by the loss of their services. |
| • | | The Company operates in a highly regulated environment, and changes in laws and regulations to which it is subject may adversely affect its results of operations. |
| • | | Competition in the Bank’s primary market area may reduce its ability to attract and retain deposits and originate loans. |
| • | | If the Company fails to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, it may not be able to accurately report financial results or prevent fraud, and, as a result, investors and depositors could lose confidence in the Company’s financial reporting, which could adversely affect its business, the trading price of its stock and its ability to attract additional deposits. |
| • | | The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws may prevent a transaction you may favor or limit growth opportunities, which could cause the market price of the Company’s common stock to decline. |
| • | | The Company may not be able to pay dividends in the future in accordance with past practice. |
| • | | The Company and Camden National Corporation may fail to satisfy the closing conditions in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 13, 2007, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), in a timely manner or at all. |
| • | | The Company’s shareholders may fail to approve the Merger Agreement. |
| • | | The Company and Camden may fail to obtain governmental approvals of the merger, or adverse regulatory conditions may be imposed in connection with such approvals. |
| • | | Disruptions in the business of the Company and Camden could result from the pendency of the merger. |
| • | | Integration costs following the merger may be higher than anticipated. |
This list of important factors is not exclusive. Any or all of the forward looking statements in this report and in any other public statements made by the Company may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Consequently, no forward looking statement can be guaranteed. The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Union Trust Company (the “Bank”), disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s 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. The preparation of such financial statements requires management 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, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the allowance for loan losses and the evaluation of mortgage servicing rights. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from the amount derived from management’s estimates and assumptions under different assumptions or conditions.
10
Allowance for Loan Losses. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that requires estimates and assumptions in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s evaluation of the level of the allowance required in relation to the estimated loss exposure in the loan portfolio. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is a significant estimate and therefore regularly evaluates it for adequacy by taking into consideration factors such as prior loan loss experience, the character and size of the loan portfolio, business and economic conditions and management’s estimation of probable losses. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different provisions for loan losses.
Mortgage Servicing Rights. The valuation of mortgage servicing rights is also a critical accounting policy which requires significant estimates and assumptions. Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when servicing rights are acquired through the sale of residential mortgage loans. 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 assets. Management uses, on a quarterly basis, an independent firm which specializes in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights to determine the fair value which is recorded on the balance sheet. This includes an evaluation for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights, which can vary depending upon current interest rates and prepayment expectations, as compared to amortized cost. When the book value exceeds the fair value, a valuation allowance is recorded against these servicing assets. The Company’s assumptions are adjusted periodically to reflect current circumstances.
Executive Overview
Net income increased $23,000, or 2.2%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 compared to the third quarter last year. The following were significant factors contributing to the results for the third quarter of 2007:
| • | | Net interest income, on a tax-equivalent basis, was essentially flat when compared to the same period in 2006. |
| • | | Non-interest income increased by $167,000, or 11.1% compared to the same period in 2006, primarily driven by higher levels of financial services fees and commissions. |
| • | | Non-interest expense increased by $235,000, or 6.3%, compared to the third quarter last year, primarily due to increased legal and other professional costs as well as additional occupancy costs. |
| • | | The commercial real estate portfolio continued to expand, increasing by $7.9 million, or 10.3%, from September 30, 2006. |
| • | | The student loan portfolio was sold in the third quarter, decreasing consumer loans by $6.1 million. |
| • | | Total deposits increased $7.1 million, or 2.1%, from September 30, 2006. Of this growth, total retail deposits grew by $18.2 million, or 5.8%, while brokered certificates of deposit decreased by $11.1 million, or 50.4%. |
| • | | Total borrowings, comprised of borrowings from Federal Home Loan Bank, other borrowed funds, and subordinated debt, decreased by $23.6 million, or 13.0%, compared to September 30, 2006. |
Results of Operations
Net Income. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $2.8 million, an increase of $126,000, or 4.7%, compared to the same period in 2006. Earnings per share were $2.65 and $2.48, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006. Annualized return on average equity (“ROE”) and return on average assets (“ROA”) for the first nine months of the year were 8.95% and 0.68%, respectively. Annualized ROE and ROA were 8.96% and 0.66%, respectively, for the same period in 2006.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased $23,000 compared with the same period last year and earnings per share increased to $0.99 compared to $0.95 for the same period one year ago. Annualized ROE and ROA were 10.00% and 0.75%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2007 compared to 10.24% and 0.73% for the same period in 2006.
Net Interest Income.The amount of net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates and by the volume and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. On a fully tax-equivalent basis, net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by $48,000, or 0.4%, to $11.5 million in comparison to the same period last year. The Company’s net interest margin declined 1 basis point to 2.96% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 2.97% for the same period a year ago. The continued compression in the net interest margin can be attributed to higher deposit costs and increases in the cost of borrowings, without a proportional increase in the yields on loans and investments. The Company’s interest rate spread (the difference between the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities) decreased 6 basis points to 2.56% for the first nine months of 2007 compared to the first nine months of 2006.
11
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average costs; (iii) net interest income; (iv) net interest rate spread; and (v) net interest margin. For purposes of this table and the following discussion, income from interest-earning assets and net interest income are presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis and nonaccrual loans have been included in average balances only.

The average balance of interest-earning assets for the first nine months of 2007 amounted to $517.2 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 0.7%, over the same period in 2006. Average loan balances increased $7.1 million, or 1.9% for the first nine months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Average investment securities decreased by $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 45 basis points to 6.27% for the first nine months in 2007, compared to 5.82% for the same period in 2006. The yield on loans increased 39 basis points from 6.23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 6.62% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The yield on investments also increased 53 basis points, to 5.33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities for the first nine months of 2007 was $461.6 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 0.9%, over the same period in 2006. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $21.1 million, or 7.6%, to $300.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Average time deposits grew $17.6 million, or 14.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006; of this increase, $10.6 million was from brokered time certificates of deposit. Average borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $161.5 million compared to $178.5 million for the same period in 2006, a decrease of $17.0 million, or 9.5%.
The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 3.71% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of 50 basis points over the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase is, in part, attributable to a 44 basis points increase in the cost of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings during the first nine months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Interest expense on the subordinated debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $414,000 compared to $335,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The cost of interest-bearing deposits also increased 66 basis points during the first nine months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006, primarily resulting from upward competitive pricing pressure on deposits. Additionally, the growth in deposits over the prior year was primarily within certificates of deposit, which are typically higher costing than other core sources of funding.

Provision for Loan Losses.The provision for loan losses represents the charge to expense that is required to maintain an adequate level of allowance for loan losses. The process of evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses involves a high degree of management judgment, based in part on systematic methods. These methods, which are generally quantitative measures, are employed to help ensure all relevant matters affecting loan collectibility will be consistently identified. Such methods include: a loan-by-loan analysis of all impaired loans and loans under close monitoring by management for potential problems; a risk rating analysis for all commercial and commercial real estate loans; and a quantitative analysis of residential real estate and consumer loans. Other factors included in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses involve: overall loan growth; the character and mix of the loan portfolio; current trends in nonperforming loans; delinquent loans and net charge-offs; new loan origination; local economic conditions; regulatory changes; and other qualitative considerations.
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $70,000 during the first nine months of 2007 compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in the provision for loan losses is due to the increasing size of the loan portfolio and a change in the mix of the portfolio towards commercial loans which may expose the Company to greater credit risk than one-to-four family loans. Asset quality remains good with nonperforming assets of $2.6 million, or 0.48% of total assets, at September 30, 2007 compared to 0.58% of total assets at December 31, 2006. Total net charge offs as a percent of total loans was 0.01% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 0.00% for December 31, 2006.
Management believes that the level of allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2007, of $4.3 million, or 1.14% of total loans outstanding, is adequate. The allowance for loan losses was $4.3 million, or 1.11% of total loans outstanding, as of September 30, 2006.
Non-Interest Income.Non-interest income increased by $364,000, or 8.0%, to $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year. Financial services fees and commissions increased $251,000, or 13.7%, largely due to continued increases in new business volume and growth in managed assets. Service charges and fees on deposit accounts decreased $98,000, or 6.6%, primarily due to lower levels of NSF and overdraft fees. Bankcard fees increased $16,000, or 6.2%, due to increased debit card interchange revenue. Loan fees increased $84,000, or 15.2%, due primarily to higher levels of loan origination fees and increased gains on the sale of loans. Other income also increased $77,000, or 53.1%, primarily due to higher levels of mortgage banking income as well as increased income from the sale of bank owned property.
Total non-interest income increased $167,000, or 11.1%, during the third quarter of 2007 compared to the third quarter of 2006. The increase during the quarter was primarily due to higher levels of financial services fees and commissions.
Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense, which consists of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy costs, equipment and data processing costs and other operating expense, increased $127,000, or 1.1%, to $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in net occupancy of $147,000, or 13.0%, for the first nine months of 2007 compared to the same period last year, associated with new facilities.
Non-interest expense was $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared to $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2006, representing an increase of $235,000. This increase was primarily due to legal and other professional costs relating to the proxy challenge submitted by a dissident shareholder as well as occupancy costs related to new facilities.
Income Taxes. In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”). This statement clarifies the criteria that an individual tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in a company’s financial statements. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company has adopted the provisions of FIN 48 and there was no material effect on the financial statements. As a result, there was no cumulative effect related to adopting FIN 48. The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ending December 31, 2004 through 2006. The state income tax returns of the Company and its subsidiaries are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ending December 31, 2004 through 2006.
Financial Condition
The Company’s total assets decreased to $550.7 million at September 30, 2007, a decrease of $13.2 million, or 2.3%, and $296,000, or 0.1%, over September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The year over year decline in total assets was primarily attributable to a decrease in the loan portfolio.
Loan Portfolio. Between September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2007, the loan portfolio decreased $6.7 million, or 1.8%, as the Company’s residential real estate portfolio decreased by $5.9 million, or 2.5%, from 2006 due to a weakened housing market. Consumer loans decreased from the same period one year ago by $5.3 million, or 16.8%, primarily attributable to the third quarter sale
14
of the Company’s $6.1 million student loan portfolio. The commercial real estate portfolio continued to expand, increasing $7.9 million, or 10.3% from September 30, 2006. Commercial and industrial loans also experienced growth with outstanding balances at September 30, 2007 increasing $2.2 million, or 7.7%, over the same period one year ago.
Total loans increased by $5.2 million, or 1.4%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006. The increases were primarily in the commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan categories, which increased $7.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
The following table summarizes the composition of the Bank’s loan portfolio by type of loan at the dates indicated.

Investments. Total investments decreased to $135.8 million at September 30, 2007 from $140.5 million at December 31, 2006, representing a decrease of $4.7 million. At September 30, 2007, the Company’s available for sale portfolio had a net unrealized loss, net of taxes, of $870,000, compared to $978,000 at December 31, 2006. Management feels that the change in the net unrealized position is primarily due to a change in market rates during the period.
Between September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2007, the investment securities portfolio decreased $4.9 million, or 3.5%, as cash flows from maturing investments were used to fund growth in the loan portfolio.

Deposits.Deposits continue to represent the Company’s primary source of funds for lending and investment activities. At September 30, 2007, deposits of $342.8 million were $5.0 million lower than at December 31, 2006. Between September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2007, total deposits increased $7.1 million, or 2.1%.
16
Borrowings.Borrowings amounted to $157.5 million at September 30, 2007, an increase of $2.7 million from December 31, 2006. At September 30, 2007, borrowings consisted primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLB”) borrowings totaling $130.2 million, an increase of $425,000 from balances as of December 31, 2006. The remaining borrowings consisted primarily of assets sold under repurchase agreements totaling $19.1 million and subordinated debt issued in connection with our trust preferred securities offering totaling $8.2 million.
Between September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2007, total borrowings decreased $23.6 million, or 13.0%, primarily due to a decrease in FHLB borrowings offset, in part, by an increase in assets sold under repurchase agreements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity.Liquidity, as it pertains to the Company, is the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet current and future financial obligations. The Company’s primary sources of funds consist of deposits, borrowings, and the amortization, prepayment and maturities of loans and securities. While scheduled repayment of loans and maturities of securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, seasonality, economic conditions and competitive factors. The Bank has also established repurchase agreements with major brokerage firms as potential sources of liquidity. At September 30, 2007, the Company had $10.0 million outstanding of such repurchase agreements. In addition to agreements with brokers, the Bank also had customer repurchase agreements outstanding amounting to $8.1 million at September 30, 2007. As an alternative source of funding to borrowings, the Bank will occasionally purchase brokered certificates of deposits. At September 30, 2007, the Bank had $10.9 million of brokered certificates of deposits outstanding. The Company had $22.1 million in brokered certificates of deposits for the comparable period of 2006.
The Company, as a separately incorporated bank holding company, has no significant operations other than serving as the sole stockholder of the Bank. The Company’s commitments and debt service requirement, at September 30, 2007, consist of $8.4 million of junior subordinated debt securities, including accrued interest, issued to an unconsolidated subsidiary, Union Bankshares Capital Trust I. The Company has contributed $3.0 million of the proceeds from the issuance of trust preferred securities to the Bank as Tier 1 Capital to support the Bank’s growth.
The Company actively manages its liquidity position under the direction of the Asset/Liability Management Committee. Periodic review under prescribed policies and procedures is intended to ensure that the Company will maintain adequate levels of available funds. At September 30, 2007, the Company’s liquidity position was well within policy guidelines. Management believes that the Company has adequate liquidity available to respond to current and future funding requirements.
Capital Resources.The Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), and other regulatory agencies have established capital guidelines for banks and bank holding companies. Risk-based capital guidelines issued by the federal regulatory agencies require banks to meet a minimum Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 4.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%. At September 30, 2007, the Company and the Bank exceeded all of their regulatory capital requirements.
On February 17, 2006, the Company, through Union Bankshares Capital Trust I, raised additional capital from the issuance of $8.0 million of trust preferred securities, the proceeds of which were used to purchase 30-year junior subordinated deferrable interest debt securities of the Company.
At September 30, 2007, the Company had a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.71% and 14.96%, respectively, compared to 13.51% and 14.76%, respectively, at December 31, 2006. At September 30, 2007, the Company and the Bank had a Tier 1 leverage ratios of 8.30% and 7.50%, respectively, compared to 7.99% and 7.22%, respectively, at December 31, 2006.
Off-Balance Sheet Risks and Commitments
As of September 30, 2007 and 2006, the total of approved loan commitments outstanding, commitments under unused lines of credit and unadvanced portions of loans amounted to $72.8 million and $74.7 million, respectively. Other than the foregoing, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

The Company may use derivative instruments as partial hedges against large fluctuations in interest rates. At September 30, 2007, the Company had $20.0 million in cap contracts with a strike rate of 5.50% and a termination date of March 15, 2010. 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 the Company’s overall interest rate risk position.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVEAND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Market risk is the sensitivity of income to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market-driven rates or prices. The Company has no trading operations, and therefore is only exposed to non-trading market risk. The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of the Company’s asset/liability management process, which is governed by policies established by its Board of Directors that are reviewed and approved annually. The Board of Directors delegates responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability management policies to the Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”), whose members are comprised of the Bank’s senior management. In this capacity ALCO develops guidelines and strategies, consistent with policies established by the Board of Directors, which monitor and coordinate the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity and the sources, uses and pricing of funds.
Net interest income sensitivity to movements in interest rates is measured through the use of a simulation model that analyzes resulting net interest income under various interest rate scenarios established by regulators. Projected net interest income (NII) is modeled, based on a gradual shift in market interest rates (“ramped”) over a 12-month period. The model is based on the actual maturity and repricing characteristics of interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities and factors in projections for activity levels by product lines of the Company. Assumptions are made as to the changing relationship between different interest rates as interest rates increase/decrease (basis risk) and the customer’s ability to prepay loans and withdraw deposit balances or transfer them to a higher yielding account (option risk). The sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for NII exposure over a one-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, given both a 200 basis point (bp) upward and a 200 basis point downward shift in interest rates.
The following table sets forth the estimated effects on the Company’s net interest income for the periods indicated and reflects such change as a percentage of projected net interest income for the subsequent 12-month period.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
| | | | |
| | 200 Basis Point Rate Increase | | 200 Basis Point Rate Decrease |
September 30, 2007 | | -5.0% | | 1.9% |
September 30, 2006 | | -3.6% | | 1.9% |

The results implied in the above table indicate estimated changes in simulated net interest income for the subsequent 12 months assuming a gradual shift in market rates up or down of 200 basis points across the entire yield curve. This sensitivity analysis does not represent a Company forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels including yield curve shape; prepayments on loans and securities; deposit decay rates; pricing decisions on loans and deposits; reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows; and others. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.
Also, as market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will also differ due to: prepayment/refinancing levels likely deviating from those assumed; the potential effect of changing debt service levels on customers with adjustable rate loans; depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes; and other internal/external variables. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis does not reflect actions that ALCO might take in responding to or anticipating changes in interest rates.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLSAND PROCEDURES |
Management of the Company, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Senior Vice President and Treasurer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Senior Vice President and Treasurer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Senior Vice President and Treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
On April 14, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Stock Repurchase Program, which provided for the repurchase of up to 57,700 shares, or 5%, of the Company’s then-outstanding common stock.

Originally adopted for a term of 12 months, the Stock Repurchase Program has been extended several times by the Company, and was extended, effective April 19, 2006, until such time as all shares authorized for repurchase under the Stock Repurchase Program have been repurchased. The repurchases may be made from time to time at the discretion of management of the Company. Shares repurchased by the Company are designated as authorized but unissued stock of the Company. The Company may utilize such shares for any purpose the Board of Directors of the Company deems advisable in compliance with applicable law. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had repurchased a total of 125,526 shares of its stock since the Program’s inception.
