Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

First National Lincoln Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated financial information of First National Lincoln Corporation and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, and for the three-month and six-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 interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financials Statements

First National Lincoln Corporation and Subsidiary

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

First National Lincoln Corporation (the Company) is a financial holding company that owns all of the common stock of The First N.A. (the Bank). 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 (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. On January 14, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of FNB Bankshares (FNB) of Bar Harbor, Maine, and operating results include the effect of the FNB acquisition only after the closing date (see Note 6 -- Pro-Forma Financial Information).

The income reported for the 2005 period is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. 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, 2004.

Note 2 – Common Stock

On April 27, 2004, the Company's Board of Directors declared a three-for-one split of the Company's common stock payable in the form of a 200% stock dividend to shareholders of record on May 12, 2004, with a payment date of June 1, 2004. All share and per share data included in the consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this report have been restated to reflect the stock split.

On January 20, 2005, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock or approximately 2.5% of the outstanding shares. The Company expects such repurchases to be effected from time to time, in the open market, in private transactions or otherwise, during a period of up to 24 months. The amount and timing of shares to be purchased will be subject to market conditions and will be based on several factors, including the price of the Company's stock and the level of stock issuances under the Company's employee stock plans. No assurance can be given as to the specific timing of the share repurchases or as to whether and to what extent the share repurchase will be consummated.

As of June 30, 2005, the Company had repurchased 121,966 shares under the new repurchase plan at an average price of $16.86.

Note 3 – Stock Options

The Company established a stock option plan in 1995. Under the plan, the Company may grant options to its employees for up to 600,000 shares of common stock. Only incentive stock options may be granted under the plan. The option price of each option grant is determined by the Options Committee of the Board of Directors, and in no instance shall be less than the fair market value on the date of the grant. An option's maximum term is ten years from the date of grant. As a result of the FNB acquisition, options to acquire 40,630 FNB shares were converted into options to acquire an aggregate of 95,479 common shares of the Company at a purchase price of $3.80 per share.

A summary of the status of the Company's Stock Option Plan as of June 30, 2005, and changes during the six months then ended, is presented below.

	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price
Balance at December 31, 2004	205,500	$4.81
Granted in 2005	42,000	18.00
Assumed in 2005	95,479	3.80
Exercised in 2005	(84,886)	4.08
Balance at June 30, 2005	258,093	$6.82

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for the stock option plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to stock-based employee compensation. Share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect the three-for-one stock split in the form of a 200% stock dividend paid June 1, 2004, to shareholders of record on May 12, 2004.

The fair market value in 2005 is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: quarterly dividends of $0.12, risk-free interest rate of 4.20%, volatility of 27.95%, and an expected life of 10 years.

The estimated amount of related benefit expense in 2005 is $190,000, and the estimated amount of benefits to be paid is $151,000.

Note 6 – Pro-Forma Financial Information

On August 25, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire FNB Bankshares (FNB) of Bar Harbor, Maine, and its subsidiary, The First National Bank of Bar Harbor. This acquisition was completed on January 14, 2005. In its 2004 Strategic Plan, the Company identified certain markets in which it would consider future growth opportunities, including the area served by FNB Bankshares. Management expects that the products and services available in the FNB Bankshares market area will be enhanced as a result of the combination of the two companies, and this will also provide a larger capacity to lend money and a stronger overall funding base. It is expected that the combined entity will realize cost savings from redundant expenses, such as regulatory fees, audit costs, legal costs, and outsourced costs.

As part of the acquisition, the Company issued 2.35 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of FNB in exchange for each of the 1,048,814 shares of the common stock outstanding of FNB. Cash in lieu of fractional shares of the Company's stock was paid at the rate of $17.87 per share, which was the average high/low price of the Company's stock for the 30-day period ending January 9, 2005, under terms specified in the Merger Agreement. At the time of the acquisition, there were outstanding options to purchase 126,208 shares of FNB common stock under the FNB Bankshares Stock Option Plan. Of these, options to acquire 40,630 FNB shares were converted into options to acquire an aggregate of 95,479 common shares of the Company at a purchase price of $3.80 per share. Holders of unexercised options to purchase FNB shares that were not converted were paid cash to retire their options at the rate of $42.00 for each share subject to the option, less the option exercise price per share. The total amount paid to retire the remaining options was approximately $2.6 million.

The total value of the transaction was $47,955,000, and all of the voting equity interest of FNB was acquired in the transaction. The Company assumed all outstanding liabilities of FNB, including liabilities under certain Employment Continuity Agreements and Split Dollar Agreements with executive officers of FNB. The acquisition was intended to qualify as a reorganization for federal income tax purposes and provide for a tax-free exchange of shares.

The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the operations of FNB are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net tangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, none of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill related to the core deposit intangible is being amortized over its expected economic life, and remaining goodwill is evaluated annually for possible impairment under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. In the tables which follow, pro forma financial information is presented.

The pro forma balance sheets in the following table show how the financial position of the Company would have been presented if the transaction had closed prior to June 30, 2004. The adjustments show the effect of recording all assets and liabilities acquired to current fair value as well as the amount of identified intangibles (core deposit intangible). The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

Item 2 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

First National Lincoln Corporation and Subsidiary

Critical Accounting Policies

Management's discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition is 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 valuation 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 in 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.

Allowance for Loan Losses. Management believes the allowance for loan losses requires the most significant estimates and assumptions used 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 potential losses. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different provisions for loan losses.

Mortgage Servicing Rights. The valuation of mortgage servicing rights also requires significant estimates and assumptions. The Bank often sells mortgage loans it originates and retains the ongoing servicing of such loans, receiving a fee for these services, generally 0.25% of the outstanding balance of the loan per annum. Mortgage servicing rights are recognized when they are acquired through sale of loans and are reported in other assets. They 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 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. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights by predominant characteristics, such as interest rates and terms. The use of different assumptions could produce a different valuation for both mortgage servicing rights and impairment.

Acquired Assets and Liabilities. Management utilizes numerous techniques to estimate the value of various assets held by the Company, including methods to determine the appropriate carrying value of goodwill as required under SFAS No. 142. In addition, goodwill from a purchase acquisition is subject to ongoing periodic impairment tests which include an evaluation of the ongoing assets. liabilities and revenues from an acquisition and an estimation of the impact of business conditions. 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, overall collectibility of loans and receivables. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different estimates of carrying value. Management prepares the valuation analyses, which are then reviewed by the Board of Directors of the Company.

GAAP vs. Pro-Forma Results

Operating results for the Company are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) which, under the purchase methods of accounting, exclude FNB Bankshares results prior to the closing date of the acquisition on January 14, 2005. This discussion also includes pro-forma information which shows how the Company's results of operations would have been presented if the Company and FNB had operated as one entity for the entire periods presented (for a presentation of pro-forma results, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements -- Pro-Forma Financial Information).

Executive Summary

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $6,130,000, an increase of 54.0% over net income of $3,981,000 for the comparable period of 2004. The Company's increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 in comparison to the same period in 2004 was the result of a 50.0% increase in net interest income. In addition, non-interest income increased 75.1% in comparison to 2004. The level of increase in operating expenses was lower than growth in revenues and assets as a result of economies realized from the FNB acquisition. Fully diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $0.62, a 17.0% increase over the $0.53 reported for the second quarter of 2004.

Net Interest Income

Total interest income of $23,191,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 is a 59.5% increase from total interest income of $14,538,000 in the comparable period of 2004. In addition to the interest income related to the FNB acquisition, rising interest rates resulted in higher asset yields in 2005 compared to 2004. Total interest expense of $7,911,000 for the first six months of 2005 is a 81.7% increase from total interest expense of $4,353,000 for the first six months of 2004. This was a direct result of the rising interest rate climate and the FNB acquisition.

The combination of higher interest rates, asset growth and the FNB acquisition resulted in net interest income of $15,280,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, which represents a 50.0% increase from the $10,185,000 reported for the same period in 2004.

The Company's net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis remained the same at 3.92% in the first six months of 2004 to the first six months of 2005. Tax-exempt interest income amounted to $870,000 and $543,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Tax equivalency is calculated using a 35% effective tax rate. These results are consistent with the Company's expectations for changes in its net interest margin in the current rate environment.

Total interest income of $12,294,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 is a 65.8% increase from total interest income of $7,417,000 in the comparable period of 2004. In addition to the interest income related to the FNB acquisition, rising interest rates resulted in higher asset yields in 2005 compared to 2004. At the same time, total interest expense of $4,400,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 is a 101.5% increase from total interest expense of $2,184,000 for the second quarter of 2004. This was a direct result of the rising interest rate climate and the FNB acquisition.

The combination of higher interest rates, asset growth and the FNB acquisition resulted in net interest income of $7,894,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, a 50.9% increase from the $5,233,000 reported for the same period in 2004.

The Company's net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis decreased from 3.97% in the three months ended June 30, 2004 to 3.87% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 due to liability costs accruing at a faster rate than the yield on assets. Tax-exempt interest income amounted to $459,000 and $281,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Tax equivalency is calculated using a 35% effective tax rate.

The following table presents the amount of interest earned or paid, as well as the average yield or rate on an annualized basis, for each major category of assets or liabilities. Tax-exempt income is calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, using a 35.0% tax rate in 2005 and 2004.

Page 14

On a pro-forma basis, net interest income for the first six months of 2005 was $15,553,000, an increase of $1,492,000 or 10.6% over net interest income of $14,061,000 for the first six months of 2004. This increase was the result of asset growth, primarily in the loan portfolio.

On a pro-forma basis, net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $7,894,000, an increase of $739,000 or 10.3% over net interest income of $7,155,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was the result of asset growth, primarily in the loan portfolio.

Provision for Loan Losses

A $100,000 provision to the allowance for loan losses was made during the first six months of 2005, compared to the $480,000 provision made for the same period of 2004. The decrease in provision is a result of the analysis of credit quality in the loan portfolio.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $3,891,000 for the six months ended June 2005, an increase of 75.1% from the $2,222,000 reported for the first six months of 2004. The increase in non-interest income was due to the acquisition of FNB Bankshares. On a pro-forma basis, non-interest income increased by $37,000 or 0.9% from $3,999,000 in 2004 to $4,036,000 in 2005. Although investment management and fiduciry income increased by 9.8%, income from mortgage origination declined due to higher interest rates and lower levels of loans sold to the secondary market.

Non-interest income was $2,228,000 for the three months ended June 2005, an increase of 98.9% from the $1,120,000 reported for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in non-interest income was due to the acquisition of FNB Bankshares. On a pro-forma basis, non-interest income increased by $202,000 or 9.9% from $2,026,000 in 2004 to $2,208,000 in 2005, with increases in deposit account income, fiduciary fees, and mortgage servicing income.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense of $10,513,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, is an increase of 65.4% over non-interest expense of $6,357,000 for the first six months of 2004. In addition to expenses as a result of the FNB acquisition, this increase is primarily due to higher personnel and premises costs to provide more comprehensive and competitive services for customers, as well as increased costs for marketing, supplies and professional fees, in line with the Company's revenue and asset growth. On a pro-forma basis, non-interest expense increased by $637,000 or 6.0% during the first six months of 2005 compared to the first six months of 2004, with the largest increase in employee costs, which were up by 6.1%.

Non-interest expense of $5,666,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, is an increase of 75.1% over non-interest expense of $3,236,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. This level of increase in non-interest expense for the quarter was for the same reasons cited above. On a pro-forma basis, non-interest expense increased by $357,000 or 6.7% during the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004, with the largest increase in employee costs, which were up by 5.0%.

Income Taxes

Income taxes on operating earnings increased to $2,428,000 for the first six months of 2005 from $1,589,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase is in line with the increase in pre-tax income.

Value of Assets Acquired

On January 14, 2005, the Company completed the FNB acquisition. In its 2004 Strategic Plan, the Company identified certain markets in which it would consider future growth opportunities, including the area served by FNB Bankshares. Management expects that the products and services available in the FNB Bankshares market area will be enhanced as a result of the combination of the two companies, and this will also provide a larger capacity to lend money and a stronger overall funding base. It is expected that the combined entity will realize cost savings from redundant expenses, such as regulatory fees, audit costs, legal costs, and outsourced costs which the company has experienced in the period since the transaction closed.

The total value of the transaction was $47,955,000, and all of the voting equity interest of FNB was acquired in the transaction. As required under GAAP, the purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which totaled $27,835,000 and included $972,000 for direct expenses to consummate the transaction. The majority of the $1,830,000 difference between actual goodwill booked and the $26,005,000 of goodwill which Management estimated in the Company's December 31, 2004 financial statements was due to deferred income taxes.

There have been no changes in the opening balance sheet since the end of the first quarter. The following table shows the fair value of assets and liabilities recorded on the Company's balance sheet from the FNB acquisition, including the associated goodwill in the transaction:

Investments

The Company's investment portfolio increased by $33.2 million or 26.2% to $160.0 million between December 31, 2004, and June 30, 2005. At June 30, 2005, the Company's available-for-sale portfolio had an unrealized gain, net of taxes, of $1.5 million. Between June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2005, the Company's investment portfolio increased by $18.7 million or 13.3%. This growth was the result of the FNB acquisition.

On a pro-forma basis, the Company's investment portfolio increased by $6.0 million or 3.9% during the first six months of 2005. Year-over-year, the investment portfolio declined by $12.0 million or 7.0% on a pro-forma basis, the result of the decline in investments on the FNB balance sheet was to fund loan growth.

Loans

Loans grew by $240.0 million or 50.2% during the first six months of 2005. The growth in commercial loans was $138.0 million or 87.4% and municipal loans increased $9.7 million or 70.6%. The residential mortgage portfolio increased by $65.3 million or 30.4%, and home equity lines of credit grew $18.9 million or 29.1% year-to-date. The majority of this growth was due to the FNB acquisition. Between June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2005, the loan portfolio increased $274.9 million or 62.0%, as a result of strong customer demand and the FNB acquisition

On a pro-forma basis, the loan portfolio increased by $53.9 million or 8.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2005. Year-over-year, the loan portfolio increased by $97.2 million or 15.6% on a pro-forma basis, the result of strong loan growth seen by the Company in both the Mid-Coast and Down East Maine regions.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses represents the amount available for credit losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. Loans are charged off when they are deemed uncollectible, after giving consideration to factors such as the customer's financial condition, underlying collateral and guarantees, as well as general and industry economic conditions.

Adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is determined using a consistent, systematic methodology, which analyzes the risk inherent in the loan portfolio. In addition to evaluating the collectibility of specific loans when determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, Management also takes into consideration other factors such as changes in the mix and size of the loan portfolio, historic loss experience, the amount of delinquencies and loans adversely classified, and economic trends. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is assessed by an allocation process whereby specific loss allocations are made against certain adversely classified loans, and general loss allocations are made against segments of the loan portfolio which have similar attributes. The Company’s historical loss experience, industry trends, and the impact of the local and regional economy on the Company’s borrowers, were considered by Management in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions charged against current earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that the collectibility of the loan principal is unlikely. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are credited to the allowance. While Management uses available information to assess possible losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on increases in non-performing loans, changes in economic conditions, growth in loan portfolios, or for other reasons. Any future additions to the allowance would be recognized in the period in which they were determined to be necessary. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses as an integral part of their examination process. Such agencies may require the Company to record additions to the allowance based on judgments different from those of Management.

Credit quality of the commercial portfolios is quantified by a corporate credit rating system designed to parallel regulatory criteria and categories of loan risk. Individual loan officers monitor their loans to ensure appropriate rating assignments are made on a timely basis. Risk ratings and quality of the commercial loan portfolio are also assessed on a regular basis by an independent loan review consulting firm. An ongoing portfolio trend analyses and individual credit reviews to evaluate loan risk and compliance with corporate lending policies are also performed. The level of allowance allocable to each group of risk-rated loans is then determined by applying a loss factor that estimates the amount of probable loss in each category. The assigned loss factor for each risk rating is based upon Management’s assessment of historical loss data, portfolio characteristics, economic trends, overall market conditions and past experience.

Page 18

Consumer loans, which include residential mortgages, home equity loans/lines, and direct/indirect loans, are generally evaluated as a group based on product type and on the basis of delinquency data and other credit data available due to the large number of such loans and the relatively small size of individual credits. Allocations for these loan categories are principally determined by applying loss factors that represent Management’s estimate of inherent losses. In each category, inherent losses are estimated based upon Management’s assessment of historical loss data, portfolio characteristics, economic trends, overall market conditions and past experience. In addition, certain loans in these categories may be individually risk-rated if considered necessary by Management.

The other method used to allocate the allowance for loan losses entails the assignment of reserve amounts to individual loans on the basis of loan impairment. Certain loans are evaluated individually and are judged to be impaired when Management believes it is probable that the Company will not collect all of the contractual interest and principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreement. Under this method, loans are selected for evaluation based on internal risk ratings or non-accrual status. A specific reserve is allocated to an individual loan when that loan has been deemed impaired and when the amount of a probable loss is estimable on the basis of its collateral value, the present value of anticipated future cash flows, or its net realizable value. At June 30, 2005, impaired loans with specific reserves totaled $1,588,000 million (all of these loans were on non-accrual status) and the amount of such reserves were $385,000 million.

All of these analyses are reviewed and discussed by the Directors' Loan Committee, and recommendations from these processes provide Management and the Board of Directors with independent information on loan portfolio condition. As a result of these analyses, the Company has concluded that the level of the allowance for loan losses was adequate as of June 30, 2005. As of that date, the balance of $6,518,000 was 0.91% of total loans, compared to 0.99% at December 31, 2004 and 1.03% at June 30, 2004. Loans considered to be impaired according to SFAS 114/118 totaled $3,208,000 at June 30, 2005, compared to $1,601,000 at December 31, 2004. The portion of the allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired loans at June 30, 2005, was $385,000 compared to $228,000 at December 31, 2004.

On a pro-forma basis, the allowance for loan losses decreased by $201,000 or 3.0% in the first six months of 2005. This was the result of limited additional provision to the allowance due to the analysis of credit quality in the loan portfolio and the level of loan chargeoffs during the period.

Deposits

During the first six months of 2005, deposits increased by $302.4 million or 81.8% over December 31, 2004. Core deposits (demand, NOW, savings and money market accounts) increased by $147.7 million or 62.0% in the first six months of 2005. During the same period, certificates of deposit increased $154.2 million or 115.9%. Between June 30, 2004, and June 30, 2005, deposits grew by 73.9%, or $285.7 million. Demand deposits grew $28.9 million, NOW accounts $50.2 million, savings $46.7 million, and money market accounts $32.2 million, while certificates of deposit increased $127.7 million. The majority of the growth, both year-to-date and year-over-year, was due to the FNB acquisition and in certificates of deposit, primarily from wholesale and brokered sources..

On a pro-forma basis, deposits grew by $112.8 million or 20.2% during the first six months of 2005. This growth was in certificate of deposits, primarily from wholesale and brokered sources.

Borrowed Funds

The Company's funding includes borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, the Federal Reserve System, and repurchase agreements, enabling it to grow its balance sheet and, in turn, grow its revenues. They may also be used to carry out interest rate risk management stategies, and are increased to replace or supplement other sources of funding, including core deposits and certificates of deposit. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, borrowed funds decreased by $29.5 million or 14.2% from December 31, 2004. Between June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2005, borrowed funds increased $4.1 million or 2.3%. These enabled the Company to meet its funding needs for asset growth at a reasonable cost.

On a pro-forma basis, borrowed funds decreased by $50.5 million or 22.1% during the first six months of 2005. This was the result of growth in wholesale and brokered sources, as noted above. Year-over-year, borrowed funds decreased $20.3 million or 10.3%.

Shareholders' Equity

Shareholders' equity as of June 30, 2005 was $100.6 million, compared to $52.8 million as of December 31, 2004. The Company's strong earnings performance in the first six months of 2005, net of dividends paid, added to shareholders' equity, in addition to the significant increase from the FNB acquisition. The net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities, presented in accordance with SFAS 115, decreased by $0.5 million from December 31, 2004, as a result of a recent rise in interest rates and by maturing securities replaced at lower yields.

In 2005, a cash dividend of 13.0 cents per share was declared in the second quarter compared to 11.0 cents in the second quarter of 2004. The dividend payout ratio was 40.63% in the second quarter of 2005 compared to 39.29% in the second quarter of 2004.

In determining future dividend payout levels, the Board of Directors carefully analyzes capital requirements and earnings retention, as set forth in the Company's Dividend Policy. The ability of the Company to pay cash dividends to its shareholders depends on receipt of dividends from its subsidiary, the Bank. The subsidiary may pay dividends to its parent out of so much of its net profits as the Bank's directors deem appropriate, subject to the limitation that the total of all dividends declared by the Bank in any calendar year may not exceed the total of its net profits of that year combined with its retained net profits of the preceding two years. The amount available for dividends in 2005 is this year's net income plus $9.7 million.

Regulatory leverage capital ratios for the Company were 7.93% and 8.03% at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The Company had a tier one risk-based capital ratio of 10.98% and tier two risk-based capital ratio of 11.99% at June 30, 2005, compared to 11.62% and 12.71%, respectively, at December 31, 2004. These are comfortably above the standards to be rated "well-capitalized" by regulatory authorities -- qualifying the Company for lower deposit-insurance premiums.

As of June 30, 2005, the Company had repurchased 121,966 shares under the new repurchase plan at an average price of $16.86.

Non-Performing Assets

At June 30, 2005, loans on non-accrual status totaled $3.2 million, which compares to non-accrual loans of $1.6 million as of December 31, 2004. In addition to loans on non-accrual status at June 30, 2005, loans past due 90 days or more and accruing (calculated on a constant 30-day month basis) totaled $547,000 which compares to $281,000 as of December 31, 2004. The Company continues to accrue interest on these loans because it believes collection of the interest is reasonably assured. The majority of the increase in non-performing assets in the second quarter of 2005 was the result of the FNB acquisition.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

No material off-balance sheet risk exists that requires a separate liability presentation.

Sale of Loans

No recourse obligations have been incurred in connection with the sale of loans.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market-Risk Management

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates. First National Lincoln Corporation's market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk. The Bank's Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position of the Company and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to interest rate risk. All guidelines and policies established by ALCO have been approved by the Board of Directors.

Asset/Liability Management

The primary goal of asset/liability management is to maximize net interest income within the interest rate risk limits set by ALCO. Interest rate risk is monitored through the use of two complementary measures: static gap analysis and earnings simulation modeling. While each measurement has limitations, taken together they represent a reasonably comprehensive view of the magnitude of interest rate risk in the Company, the level of risk through time, and the amount of exposure to changes in certain interest rate relationships.

Static gap analysis measures the amount of repricing risk embedded in the balance sheet at a point in time. It does so by comparing the differences in the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities. A gap is defined as the difference between the principal amount of assets and liabilities which reprice within a specified time period. The Bank's cumulative one-year gap, at June 30, 2005, was -3.67% of total assets. ALCO's policy limit for the one-year gap is plus or minus 20% of total assets. Core deposits with non-contractual maturities are presented based upon historical patterns of balance attrition and pricing behavior which are reviewed at least annually.

The gap repricing distributions include principal cash flows from residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities in the time frames in which they are expected to be received. Mortgage prepayments are estimated by applying industry median projections of prepayment speeds to portfolio segments based on coupon range and loan age.

A summary of the Bank's static gap, as of June 30, 2005 is presented in the following table:

	0-90	90-365	1-5	5+
In thousands of dollars	Days	Days	Years	Years
Investment securities at amortized cost	$19,555	$27,645	$75,689	$36,695
Loans held for sale	-	-	-	-
Loans	294,427	114,031	253,694	56,305
Other interest-earning assets	-	-	-	8,078
Non-rate-sensitive assets	71	213	1,134	42,223
Total assets	314,053	141,889	330,517	143,301
Interest-bearing deposits	250,377	96,882	58,297	210,394
Borrowed funds	128,656	7,026	14,109	27,658
Non-rate-sensitive liabilities and equity	1,281	3,843	20,496	110,741
Total liabilities and equity	380,314	107,751	92,902	348,793
Period gap	$(66,261)	$34,138	$237,615	$(205,492)
Percent of total assets	-7.13%	3.67%	25.56%	-22.10%
Cumulative gap	(66,261)	(32,123)	205,492	-
Percent of total assets	-7.13%	-3.45%	22.10%	0.00%

The earnings simulation model forecasts capture the impact of changing interest rates on one-year and two-year net interest income. The modeling process calculates changes in interest income received and interest expense paid on all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reflected on the Company's balance sheet. None of the assets used in the simulation are held for trading purposes. The modeling is done for a variety of scenarios that incorporate changes in the absolute level of interest rates as well as basis risk, as represented by changes in the shape of the yield curve and changes in interest rate relationships. Management evaluates the effects on income of alternative interest rate scenarios

Page 22

against earnings in a stable interest rate environment. This analysis is also most useful in determining the short-run earnings exposures to changes in customer behavior involving loan payments and deposit additions and withdrawals.

The Bank's most recent simulation model projects net interest income would increase by approximately 1.97% of stable-rate net interest income if short-term rates affected by Federal Open Market Committee actions fall gradually by two percentage points over the next year, and decrease by approximately 4.91% if rates rise gradually by two percentage points. Both scenarios are well within ALCO's policy limit of a decrease in net interest income of no more than 10.0% given a 2.0% move in interest rates, up or down. Management believes this reflects a reasonable interest rate risk position. In year two, and assuming no additional movement in rates, the model forecasts that net interest income would be higher than that earned in a stable rate environment by 4.95% in a falling-rate scenario and decrease by 7.19% in a rising rate scenario when compared to the year-one base scenario.

A summary of the Bank's interest rate risk simulation modeling, as of June 30, 2005 is presented in the following table:

Changes in Net Interest Income

2005

Year 1

Projected change if rates decrease by 2.0%	+1.97%
Projected change if rates increase by 2.0%		-4.91%

Year 2

Projected change if rates decrease by 1.0%	+4.95%
Projected change if rates increase by 2.0%		-7.19%

This dynamic simulation model includes assumptions about how the balance sheet is likely to evolve through time and in different interest rate environments. Loans and deposits are projected to maintain stable balances. All maturities, calls and prepayments in the securities portfolio are assumed to be reinvested in similar assets. Mortgage loan prepayment assumptions are developed from industry median estimates of prepayment speeds for portfolios with similar coupon ranges and seasoning. Non-contractual deposit volatility and pricing are assumed to follow historical patterns. The sensitivities of key assumptions are analyzed annually and reviewed by ALCO.

The information for static gap and changes in net interest income presented in this section pertains to the Bank only and does not include goodwill and a small volume of assets and liabilities owned by the Company and included in its consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2005. 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, among others, the nature and timing of interest rate levels, yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, and reinvestment/ replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

Interest Rate Risk Management

A variety of financial instruments can be used to manage interest rate sensitivity. These may include investment securities, interest rate swaps, and interest rate caps and floors. Frequently called interest rate derivatives, interest rate swaps, caps and floors have characteristics similar to securities but possess the advantages of customization of the risk-reward profile of the instrument, minimization of balance sheet leverage and improvement of liquidity. As of June 30, 2005, the Company was not using any derivative instruments for interest rate risk management.

The Company engages an independent consultant to periodically review its interest rate risk position, as well as the effectiveness of simulation modeling and reasonableness of assumptions used. As of June 30, 2005, there were no significant differences between the views of the independent consultant and Management regarding the Company's interest rate risk exposure. Management expects interest rates will continue to rise in 2005 and believes that the current level of interest rate risk is acceptable.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of June 30, 2005, the end of the quarter covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the Company’s 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 reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and the Company’s 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 concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level 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 Commission’s rules and forms. There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company reviews its disclosure controls and procedures, which may include its internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that the Company’s systems evolve with its business.
