ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
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 September 30, 2001 and
2000, and for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. 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 U.S. generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is to express an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
EARNINGS SUMMARY
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $4,083,000, an
increase of 21.0% over 2000's net income of $3,374,000. Revenue growth was the
primary factor in the Company's increased earnings for the first nine months of
2001 compared to the same period in 2000. This was a direct result of asset
growth, which produced higher levels of net interest income, as well as
increased margins due to declining interest rates. During the period, the loan
and investment portfolios increased by a combined $23.4 million and increased
$38.5 million since September 30,2000.
Fully diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2001 were
$1.66, a 21.2% increase over the $1.37 reported in 2000.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2001 was $1,446,000,
an increase of 32.5% over 2000's net income of $1,091,000. As with the
Company's year-to-date performance, revenue growth and lower interest rates
were the primary factors in the increased earnings posted for the third quarter
of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000.
Fully diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2001 were $0.59,
a 34.1% increase over the $0.44 reported in 2000.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Total interest income of $22,711,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2001 is an 11.0% increase over 2000's total interest income of $20,457,000.
Total interest expense of $11,811,000 is a 7.8% increase over 2000's total
interest expense of $10,955,000. Net interest income was $10,900,000, a 14.7%
increase over 2000's net interest income of $9,502,000. The increases in both
interest income and interest expense were due to a combination of significantly
higher balances and movements in interest rates. In first nine months of 2001,
there was an increase in the Bank's margins due to recent easing of interest
rates by the Federal Reserve Board.
Total interest income of $7,541,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2001 is a 5.8% increase over 2000's total interest income of $7,128,000.
Total interest expense of $3,663,000 is a 6.5% decrease from 2000's total
interest expense of $3,919,000. Net interest income was $3,878,000, a 20.8%
increase over 2000's net interest income of $3,209,000. The increase in
interest income and the decrease in interest expense were both due to a
combination of significantly higher balances and movements in interest rates.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
A $690,000 provision to the allowance for loan losses was made during the
first nine months of 2001. This is a $180,000 increase from the $510,000
provision made for the same period of 2000. The increase was due to growth in
the commercial loan portfolio and the higher risk these loans carry. The
allowance for loan losses is deemed adequate as calculated in accordance with
Banking Circular #201 and with respect to Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) 114/118. Loans considered to be impaired according to SFAS
114/118 totalled $1,024,076 at September 30, 2001. The portion of the allowance
for loan losses allocated to impaired loans at September 30, 2001 was $373,101.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION CONT.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income was $2,835,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2001, an increase of 26.7% from 2000's non-interest income of $2,237,000.
Included in 2001's other operating income is a gain of $73,000 recorded on a
security purchased at a deep discount which was called before maturity. The
remainder of the increase was due primarily to increases in merchant credit
card income and mortgage origination and servicing income. There were also
increases in fiduciary income, as well as service charge income on deposit
accounts. Demand for residential mortgages was strong in the first nine months
of 2001. The Bank sold $15.6 million of loans during the period compared to
$20.2 million in the first nine months of 2000. This resulted in increased
gains on sales of loans.
Non-interest income was $1,153,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2001, an increase of 26.8% from 2000's non-interest income of $909,000. The
increase was due to increases in merchant credit card income and mortgage
origination and servicing income.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expense of $7,284,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2001, is an increase of 12.6% from 2000's non-interest expense of $6,468,000.
This increase has been primarily due to increases in staffing and software
costs connected with the Company's goal to provide more comprehensive and
competitive services to its customers. In addition, there were increases in
merchant credit card costs which were offset by an increase in merchant credit
card income.
Non-interest expense of $2,776,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2001, is an increase of 17.0% from 2000's non-interest expense of
$2,372,000 for the reasons stated above.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes on operating earnings increased to $1,678,000 for the first
nine months of 2001 from $1,387,000 for the same period a year ago. The
increase is in line with the increase in pre-tax income.
Page 12
<page>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION CONT.
INVESTMENTS
The Company's investment portfolio increased by $9.2 million or 9.5%
between September 30, 2000 and September 30, 2001. During the twelve-month
period there was an investment climate which enabled the Company to add to its
portfolio at very attractive levels. With recent drops in interest rates, much
of those added investments have been redeemed by the issuers. During the first
nine months of 2001, the investment portfolio increased by $0.6 million or
0.5%. At September 30, 2001, the Company's available-for-sale portfolio had an
unrealized gain, net of taxes, of $1.3 million, which is in line with recent
changes in interest rates.
LOANS
Loans grew by $29.3 million or 11.3% between September 30, 2000 and
September 30, 2001. Most of this growth came in commercial loans, which
increased $16.2 million, and mortgage loans, which increased $11.6 million.
During the first nine months of 2001, total loans increased by $22.9 million or
8.6%.
DEPOSITS
As of September 30, 2001, deposits grew year-over year by 12.4% or $30.5
million. Of the increase $24.7 million came in certificates of deposit and $5.8
million was in the Banks core deposit base. The growth in core deposits is
seasonal and is expected to run off over the next three to six months.
Core deposits in the first nine months of 2001 have increased by $13.8
million, which is a somewhat higher than the normal seasonal increase, and
certificates of deposit increased $9.4 million. The increases in certificate
of deposit balances during both periods are the result of pricing strategies
undertaken by the Company.
BORROWED FUNDS
The Company's funding also includes borrowings from the Federal Home Loan
Bank and repurchase agreements. Between September 30, 2000 and September 30,
2001, borrowed funds increased by $7.4 million or 7.8%. The Company utilizes
borrowings as an additional source of funding for both loans and investments
which allows it to grow its balance sheet and revenues. During the first nine
months of 2001, borrowed funds decreased by $0.2 million or 0.2%.
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Shareholders' Equity as of September 30, 2001 was $36,978,000 compared to
$31,499,000 for September 30, 2000. The Company's strong earnings performance
in the preceeding 12 months was supplemented by an increase in the net
unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities, as required under SFAS 115.
During 2000, the Company increased its dividend each quarter to end the
year at a quarterly dividend rate of 18 cents per share. In 2001, a cash
dividend of 19 cents per share was declared in the first quarter compared to 15
cents in the first quarter of 2000 and a cash dividend of 20 cents per share
was declared in the second quarter compared to 16 cents in the second quarter
of 2000 and a cash dividend of 21 cents per share was declared in the third
quarter compared to 17 cents in the third quarter 2000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION CONT.
Regulatory leverage capital ratios for the Company were 8.46% and 8.77%,
respectively, at September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000. The decrease was
due to asset growth. The Company had a tier one risk-based capital ratio of
12.90% and tier two risk-based capital ratio of 13.90% at September 30, 2001,
compared to 13.43% and 14.36%, respectively, at September 30, 2000. These are
comfortably above the standards to be rated "well-capitalized" by regulatory
authorities -- qualifying the Company for lower deposit-insurance premiums.
LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT
As of September 30, 2001 the Bank had primary sources of liquidity of
$61.0 million, or 14.5% of its assets. It is Management's opinion that this is
adequate. In its Asset/Liability policy, the Bank has adopted guidelines for
liquidity. The Company is not aware of any current recommendations by the
regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a
material effect on the Corporation's liquidity, capital resources or results of
operations.
LOAN POLICIES
Real estate values:
A. Residential properties. The Bank loans up to 80% of the appraised value of
properties without mortgage insurance and up to 95% of the appraised value of
properties with mortgage insurance. No further appraisals are done as long as
the loan's payment history remains satisfactory. If a loan becomes delinquent,
a review of the loan might be done. When a loan becomes 90 or more days past
due, an in-depth review of the loan is made and a determination made as to
whether or not a reappraisal is required.
B. Land-only properties. The Bank has few loans secured by land only, but does
loan up to 65% of the appraised value of the property. Loans on these
properties are handled the same way as above from booking date on.
C. Commercial properties. The Bank loans up to 75% of the appraised value of
commercial properties. Once the loan is closed, the decision to reappraise a
property is subjective and depends on a variety of factors, such as: the
payment status of the loan, the risk rating of the loan, the amount of time
that has passed since the last appraisal, changes in the real estate market,
availability of financing, inventory of competing properties, changes in local
zoning ordinances and changes in the condition of the property, including
environmental contamination. A certified or licensed appraiser is used for all
appraisals.
At September 30, 2001 and 2000, loans on a non-accrual status totaled
$1,800,000 and $2,360,000, respectively. In addition to loans on a non-accrual
status at September 30, 2001 and 2000, loans past due greater than 90 days and
still accruing totaled $510,000 and $336,000 respectively. The Company
continues to accrue interest on these loans because it believes collection of
the interest is reasonably assured.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION CONT.
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.
RISK ELEMENTS
Any loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful,
substandard, or special mention that have not been disclosed under Item III of
Industry Guide 3 do not represent or result from trends or uncertainties which
Management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results,
liquidity or capital resources. There are no known potential problem loans
which are not now disclosed pursuant to Item III. C. 1. of Industry Guide 3.
Item III. C. 2. is not applicable.
REGULATORY MATTERS
Procedures for monitoring Bank Loan Administration:
A. Loan reviews are done on a regular basis.
B. An action plan is prepared quarterly on all classified commercial loans
greater than $100,000, and semi-annually on all criticized loans greater than
$100,000.
C. Delinquent loans are reviewed weekly by the Bank's Collections Officer and
Senior Credit Officer.
D. A tickler system is utilized to insure timely receipt of current information
(such as financial statements, appraisals or credit memos to the credit file).
Note: Most of the above applies only to commercial loans, but retail loans are
reviewed periodically, usually around a delinquency.
Procedures for monitoring Bank Other Real Estate Owned:
The O.R.E.O. portfolio is handled by the Collections Officer, with backup
by the Senior Credit Officer. Most properties are listed with real estate
brokers for sale. All properties are appraised periodically for market value,
and provision is made to the allowance for O.R.E.O. losses if the estimated
market value after selling costs is lower than the carrying value of the
property.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION CONT.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
During 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 141, "Business Combinations," SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets", SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" and SFAS
No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets".
SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method be used to account for business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings, but
instead be reviewed for impairment. The amortization of goodwill ceases upon
adoption of the Statement on January 1, 2002.
SFAS Nos. 143 and 144 provide guidance concerning the recognition and
measurement of an impairment loss for certain types of long-lived assets and
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets.
Management does not expect these statements to have any material affect on the
Company's consolidated financial condition and 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 which affect the Company's business.
Item 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in the market risks reported in the
Company's Annual Report at December 31, 2000.
