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, 2007 and 2006 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 Financial 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. The income reported for the 2007 period is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Note 2 – Common Stock

On July 21, 2006, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a new program for 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, 2007, the Company had repurchased 126,334 shares under the new repurchase plan at an average price of $16.93 and at a total cost of $2.1 million.

Note 3 – Stock Options

The Company established a shareholder-approved stock option plan in 1995, under which the Company may grant options to its employees for up to 600,000 shares of common stock. The Company believes that such awards align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. 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, with 50% of the options granted vesting two years from the date of grant and the remaining 50% vesting five years from date of grant. As of January 16, 2005, all options under this plan had been granted.

The Company applies the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, to stock-based employee compensation for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2006. As a result, $35,000 in compensation cost is included in the Company’s financial statements for the current year. The unrecognized compensation cost to be amortized over a weighted average remaining vesting period of 2.7 years is $136,000, which is comprised of $6,000 for 9,000 options granted in 2002 and $130,000 for 42,000 options granted in 2005.

The weighted average fair market value per share was $2.77 for options granted in 2002 and $4.41 for options granted in 2005. The fair market value was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: quarterly dividends of $0.07 in 2002 and $0.12 in 2005, risk-free interest rate of 1.58% in 2002 and 4.20% in 2005, volatility of 37.73% in 2002 and 25.81% in 2005, and an expected life of 10 years for both years, the options’ maximum term. Volatility is based on the actual volatility of the Company’s stock during the quarter in which the options were granted. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of the option grant.

The following table summarizes the status of the Company’s non-vested options as of June 30, 2007:

Page 7

	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at December 31, 2006	58,500	$3.95
Granted in 2007	-	-
Vested in 2007	37,500	3.69
Forfeited in 2007	-	-
Non-vested at June 30, 2007	21,000	$4.41

During 2007, 31,500 options were exercised, with proceeds paid to the Company of $184,000. The excess of the fair value of the stock issued upon exercise over the exercise price was $327,000. A summary of the status of the Company’s Stock Option Plan as of June 30, 2007 and changes during the six months then ended, is presented below.

	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price	Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (In thousands)

Note 5 – Postretirement Benefit Plans

In December 2006, the Company implemented SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This Statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity. The Bank sponsors postretirement benefit plans which provide certain life insurance and health insurance benefits for certain retired employees and health insurance for retired directors. None of these plans are pre-funded. The following table sets forth the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and funded status:

A weighted average discount rate of 7.0% was used in determining both the accumulated benefit obligation and the net periodic benefit cost. The measurement date for benefit obligations was as of year-end for prior years presented. The Company’s expected benefit payments for the third quarter of 2007 are $29,000 and the expected benefit payments for all of 2007 are $118,000. There is no expected contribution for 2007. Plan expense for 2007 is estimated to be $168,000.

Note 6 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

As of December 31, 2006, in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the Company completed its annual review of goodwill and determined there has been no impairment.

Note 7 – Loan Servicing

The Company implemented SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” in the first quarter of 2007. An amendment to SFAS No. 140, SFAS No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. Servicing assets and servicing liabilities will subsequently be reported using the amortization method or the fair value measurement method. 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 several assumptions, the most significant of which are loan prepayment assumptions and the discount rate 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. The discount rate is the quarterly average ten-year U.S. 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 mortgage servicing rights, as well as write-offs due to prepayments of the related mortgage loans, are recorded as a charge against mortgage servicing fee income.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, servicing rights amortized totaled $237,000 and $225,000, respectively. Servicing rights amortized for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, were $126,000 and

Page 10

$113,000, respectively. At June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Bank serviced loans for others totaling $165.2 million and $161.4 million, respectively. Mortgage servicing rights are included in other assets and detailed in the following table:

	At June 30
In thousands of dollars	2007	2006
Mortgage servicing rights	$ 3,587	$ 3,263
Accumulated amortization	(2,676)	(2,197)
Impairment reserve	(18)	(3)
	$ 893	$ 1,063

Note 8 – Derivative Financial Instruments

The Bank uses an interest rate protection agreement (cap) as a cash flow hedge to eliminate the cash flow exposure of interest rate movements on money-market deposits. The premium paid for the cap is amortized over its life. Any cash payments received are recorded as an adjustment to net interest income. The Bank documents its risk management strategy and hedge effectiveness at the inception of and during the term of the hedge. The cap is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, and thus is recorded at fair value. SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, provides that a cash flow hedge is effective to the extent the variability in its cash flows offsets the variability in the cash flows of the hedged item, in this case the increase in cost of money market deposits. Management has determined that the hedge relationship is 100 percent effective. The amortized cost of the cap, $65,000 at June 30, 2007, is recorded on the balance sheet. This approximates the fair value of the derivative, and as a result, no unrealized gain or loss, net of applicable income taxes, is recorded in other comprehensive loss in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity for the period ended June 30, 2007.

Note 9 – Income Taxes

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 ended December 31, 2004 through 2006.

Note 10 – Reclassifications

Certain items from the prior year were reclassified in the financial statements to conform with the current year presentation. These do not have a material impact on the balance sheet or statement of income presentations.

Note 11 – Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, 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. This Statement does not require any new fair value measurements and the Company does not expect application of this Statement to change current practice.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability. Subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. SFAS No. 159 contains provisions to apply the fair value option to existing eligible financial instruments at the date of adoption. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of analyzing the impact of SFAS No. 159.

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, the valuation of mortgage servicing rights, and goodwill. 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.

Goodwill. 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 the acquisition and an estimation of the impact of business conditions.

Executive Summary

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $6,198,000, an increase of $50,000 or 0.8% over net income of $6,148,000 for the comparable period of 2006. Although the Company saw good growth in earning assets, it experienced margin compression due to the flat-to-inverted yield curve, with liability costs increasing more rapidly than yield on assets. The net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis declined to 3.12% for the first six months of 2007 from 3.33% for the same period in 2006, which, in turn, has resulted in a modest decline in net interest income.

Fully diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $0.63, a 1.6% increase from the $0.62 reported for the first six months of 2006.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007, was $3,196,000, an increase of $24,000 or 0.8% from net income of $3,172,000 for the comparable period of 2006 and up $192,000 or 6.4% from the previous quarter. The net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis declined to 3.07% for the three months ended June 30, 2007, from 3.21% for the same period in 2006. However, the Company saw a slight increase in net interest income for the quarter due to growth in earning assets. Given the negative impact that the interest rate policies of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) have had on net interest margins for the banking industry, this modest increase in net interest income is a positive factor for the Company. Fully diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were $0.33, a 3.1% increase from the $0.32 reported for the second quarter of 2006.

Asset quality remains strong, with second quarter net chargeoffs of $31,000 and year to date net chargeoffs of $199,000. Past-due and problem loans remain low and improved, with non-performing loans to total loans at 0.24% as of June 30, 2007, compared to 0.31% a year ago.

Net Interest Income

Total interest income of $34.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 is a 12.4% increase from total interest income of $30.6 million in the comparable period of 2006. Rising interest rates resulted in higher asset yields in 2007

Page 12

compared to 2006. Total interest expense of $19.3 million for the first six months of 2007 is a 25.1% increase from total interest expense of $15.4 million for the first six months of 2006. This was a direct result of the rising interest rate climate and increased volume of higher cost sources of funding. Net interest income decreased 0.4% or $65,000, to $15,177,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, from the $15,242,000 reported for the same period in 2006.

Total interest income of $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 is a 10.5% increase from total interest income of $15.8 million for the comparable period of 2006. Total interest expense of $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 is a 18.6% increase from total interest expense of $8.3 million for the same period in 2006. These increases were for the same reasons stated above. Net interest income increased 1.6% or $117,000 to $7,612,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, from the $7,495,000 reported for the same period in 2006. While net interest income was down for the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006, it was up for the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006. This is consistent with the increase in net interest income compared to the previous quarter – up $47,000 or 0.6% as a result of the growth in earning assets.

The Company’s net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis decreased from 3.33% in the first six months of 2006 to 3.12% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company’s net interest margin was 3.07%, a decrease from the 3.21% in the same period of 2006. This is due to the current flat yield curve and liability costs increasing at a faster rate than the yield on assets. These results are consistent with the Company’s expectations for changes in its net interest income in the current rate environment.

Tax-exempt interest income amounted to $1,868,000 and $1,774,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, tax-exempt interest income amounted to $921,000 and $898,000, respectively. Tax equivalency is calculated using a 35.0% effective tax rate. The following table presents the effect of tax-exempt income on the calculation of the net interest margin, using a 35.0% tax rate in 2007 and 2006:

Provision for Loan Losses

A $550,000 provision to the allowance for loan losses was made during the first six months of 2007, compared to a $600,000 provision made for the same period of 2006. The amount of provision made during the first six months of 2007 and 2006 was to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level given continued growth in our loan portfolio and our level of chargeoffs. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, a $250,000 provision to the allowance for loan losses was made compared to $350,000 for the same period in 2006 for the same reasons noted above.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $4,617,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 4.2% from the $4,433,000 reported for the first six months of 2006. This rise in non-interest income was primarily due to increased levels of revenue on deposit accounts and other operating income.

Non-interest income was $2,470,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 4.7% from the $2,360,000 reported in the same period for 2006. This rise in non-interest income was primarily due to increased levels of other operating income.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense of $10,603,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, is an increase of 0.8% compared to non-interest expense of $10,516,000 for the same period in 2006. The slight increase was attributable to minimal increases in employee costs as well as lower other operating expense. Due to the challenges produced by the interest rate environment, the Company has aggressively sought to control operating expense during 2007.

Non-interest expense of $5,352,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, is an increase of 5.3% compared to non-interest expense of $5,081,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This level of increase in non-interest expense for the quarter was due to slightly higher employee costs as well as higher other operating expense.

Income Taxes

Income taxes on operating earnings were $2,443,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, up from $2,411,000 in the same period a year ago. This is in line with the Company’s level of income before 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

Page 15

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. However, certain amounts have been reclassified in the statement of financial position in order to comply with the requirements of the statement. 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.

Investments

The Company’s investment portfolio increased by $19.6 million or 10.9% to $200.2 million between December 31, 2006, and June 30, 2007. Due to the slight steepening in the yield curve in June 2007, there was opportunity to add to the investment portfolio at levels that have not been available for some time. At June 30, 2007, the Company’s available for sale portfolio had an unrealized gain, net of taxes, of $0.4 million. Between June 30, 2006, and June 30, 2007, the Company’s investment portfolio increased by $10.5 million or 5.5%.

Loans

During the first six months of 2007, loans grew by $39.1 million or 4.7%. The growth in commercial loans was $28.2 million or 8.5% while municipal loans increased by $2.6 million or 11.0%. The residential mortgage portfolio increased by $5.1 million or 1.4%, and home equity lines of credit decreased $2.2 million or 2.9% year-to-date. Between March 31, 2007, and June 30, 2007, the Company’s loan portfolio increased $31.0 million or 3.7% with the majority of this growth – $20.2 million – in commercial loans, our highest-yielding assets. Loan growth for the second quarter was nearly at the dollar level seen in the second quarter of each of the last three years and is more than three times higher than loan growth for each of the last three quarters. Between June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2007 the loan portfolio increased $51.5 million or 6.2%, as a result of customer demand.

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 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 that 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, are 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 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. Ongoing portfolio trend analyses and individual credit reviews to

Page 16

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.

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, 2007, impaired loans with specific reserves totaled $1.2 million (all of these loans were on non-accrual status) and the amount of such reserves were $0.6 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 June 30, 2007. As of that date, the balance of $6,714,000 was 0.77% of total loans, compared to 0.76% at December 31, 2006 and 0.73% at June 30, 2006. Loans considered to be impaired according to SFAS 114/118 totaled $2.1 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $3.5 million at December 31, 2006. The portion of the allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired loans at June 30, 2007, was $0.6 million compared to $0.2 million at December 31, 2006.

In Management’s opinion, the level of the Company’s allowance for loan losses is adequate. Although the allowance is lower as a percentage of loans than many peers, the Bank’s loan portfolio has a higher percentage of residential mortgage loans than peers, which typically reflects a much lower level of credit risk. The Company’s actual historical experience supports this by the overall credit quality of the portfolio and historically low level of chargeoffs.

Non-Performing Assets

At June 30, 2007, loans on non-accrual status totaled $2.1 million, which compares to non-accrual loans of $3.5 million as of December 31, 2006. In addition to loans on non-accrual status at June 30, 2007, loans past due 90 days or more and accruing (calculated on a constant 30-day month basis) totaled $1.6 million which compares to $0.7 million as of December 31, 2006. The Company continues to accrue interest on these loans because it believes collection of the interest is reasonably assured.

Goodwill

On January 14, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of FNB Bankshares (“FNB”) of Bar Harbor, Maine, and its subsidiary, The First National Bank of Bar Harbor, which was merged into the Bank. The total value of the transaction was $48.0 million, and all of the voting equity interest of FNB was acquired in the transaction. As of December 31, 2006, in accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company completed its annual review of goodwill and determined there has been no impairment.

Deposits

During the first six months of 2007, total deposits increased by $45.9 million or 5.7% over December 31, 2006. Core deposits (demand, NOW, savings and money market accounts) decreased by $20.9 million or 5.3% in the first six months of 2007, and during the same period, certificates of deposit increased $66.8 million or 16.4%. Between June 30, 2006, and June 30, 2007, deposits grew by 8.1%, or $64.1 million. Certificates of deposit grew by $61.1 million, while money market accounts also grew by $11.0 million. Demand deposits increased by $2.1 million, while NOW accounts decreased by $0.7 million, and savings accounts decreased by $9.4 million. The Company saw a slight

Page 17

increase in core deposits year-over-year. Although there was the usual seasonal growth in demand deposits, there was further erosion in savings account balances – the result of a combination of higher rates available in certificates of deposit and customers needing additional funds for expenses.

Borrowed Funds

The Company’s funding also 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 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, 2007, borrowed funds increased $8.6 million or 4.8% from December 31, 2006. Between June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2007, borrowed funds decreased by $8.2 million or 4.2%.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity as of June 30, 2007 was $110.2 million, compared to $107.3 million as of December 31, 2006. The Company’s earnings in the first six months of 2007, net of dividends paid, added to shareholders’ equity. The net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities, presented in accordance with SFAS 115, decreased by $0.3 million from December 31, 2006.

In 2007, a cash dividend of 17 cents per share was declared in the second quarter compared to 15 cents in the second quarter of 2006. The dividend payout ratio was 51.52% in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 46.88% in the second quarter of 2006. 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 2007 is this year’s net income plus retained earnings of $10.2 million from 2006 and 2005.

Regulatory leverage capital ratios for the Company were 7.46% and 7.22% at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The Company had a tier one risk-based capital ratio of 10.45% and tier two risk-based capital ratio of 11.34% at June 30, 2007, compared to 10.40% and 11.26%, respectively, at December 31, 2006. These are comfortably above the standards to be rated “well-capitalized” by regulatory authorities – qualifying the Company for lower deposit-insurance premiums.

On July 21, 2006, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a new program for 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, 2007, the Company had repurchased 126,334 shares under the new repurchase plan at an average price of $16.93 and at a total cost of $2.1 million.

Liquidity Management

As of June 30, 2007 the Bank had primary sources of liquidity of $243.0 million. It is Management’s opinion this is adequate. In its Asset/Liability policy, the Bank has guidelines for liquidity. The Company is not aware of any recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain disclosures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain certain forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). In preparing these disclosures, Management must make assumptions, including, but not limited to, the level of future interest rates, prepayments on loans and investment securities, required levels of capital, needs for liquidity, and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. These forward-looking statements may be subject to significant known and unknown risks uncertainties, and other factors, including, but not limited to, those matters referred to in the preceding sentence.

Although First National Lincoln Corporation believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to republish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the Company, which attempt to advise interested parties of the facts that affect the Company’s business.

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 that reprice within a specified time period. The Bank’s cumulative one-year gap, June 30, 2007, was -16.30% 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, 2007 is presented in the following table:

	0-90	90-365	1-5	5+
	Days	Days	Years	Years
Investment securities at amortized cost	$ 18,108	$ 17,507	$ 65,817	$ 97,697

Percent of total assets	-11.74%	-4.56%	21.22%	-4.93%
Cumulative gap (current)	(132,924)	(184,586)	55,802	-
Percent of total assets	-11.74%	-16.30%	4.93%	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 21

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 5.25% 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 6.58% 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 19.88% in a falling-rate scenario, and lower than that earned in a stable rate environment by 16.31% 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, 2007 is presented in the following table:

Changes in Net Interest Income 2007

Year 1

Projected change if rates decrease by 2.0% +5.25%

Projected change if rates increase by 2.0% -6.58%

Year 2

Projected change if rates decrease by 2.0% +19.88%

Projected change if rates increase by 2.0% -16.31%

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, 2007. 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, 2007, the Company was using interest rate caps 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, 2007, 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 remain stable for the next two-to-four quarters 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, 2007, 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, 2007 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.

c. On July 21, 2006, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a new program for 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 repurchases or as to whether and to what extent the share repurchase will be consummated. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had repurchased 126,334 shares under the repurchase plan at an average price of $16.93 and at a total cost of $2,139,000. The following table details repurchases under this program during the six months ended June 30, 2007:

Month	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid Per Share	Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of a Publicly Announced Plan or Program	Maximum Number of Shares that may yet be Purchased under the Plan or Program
