FIRST COASTAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1996

NOTE A - CERTAIN REGULATORY MATTERS

RECEIVERSHIP OF SUFFIELD BANK

On September 6, 1991, First Coastal Corporation (the "Company") announced that
Suffield Bank was placed into receivership by the Connecticut Banking Department
and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") was appointed as the
receiver.  Following the receivership of Suffield Bank, management's efforts
were focused for an extended period of time on resolving the cross guaranty
claim, as described below, and improving operations of the Company's subsidiary,
Coastal Savings Bank ("Coastal" or the "Bank").

SETTLEMENT OF FDIC CROSS GUARANTY CLAIM

On January 31, 1995, the Company and the Bank consummated a settlement with the
FDIC in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated
Settlement Agreement, dated as of November 23, 1994 (the "Amended and Restated
Settlement Agreement"), pursuant to which the FDIC waived and released its cross
guaranty claim against the Bank.  The cross guaranty claim was the result of the
September 1991 failure of Suffield Bank.  As part of the settlement, the Company
issued to the FDIC a non-recourse promissory note in the principal amount of
$9.0 million (the "FDIC Note"), secured by the Company's pledge of the
outstanding stock of the Bank.  In 1994, the Company incurred an extraordinary
charge to earnings resulting from the issuance of the FDIC Note.  Principal and
interest under the FDIC Note are deferred until its maturity date, which is
January 31, 1997, subject to extension under certain circumstances.

The Company announced on January 31, 1996 that it intended to pursue a
recapitalization of the Company as the means to facilitate the satisfaction of
the FDIC Note.  On June 13, 1996 the Securities and Exchange Commission declared
effective the Company's registration statement for the offering of 750,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $5.00 per share.  On July 24,
1996, the Company completed its recapitalization plan, whereby the Company
repaid in full its obligation to the FDIC in the amount of $9.75 million ($9.0
million loan principal amount plus accrued interest).  The funds utilized to
repay the obligation came from (i) the sale of 750,000 shares of the Company's
common stock at $5.00 per share by means of a registered public offering; (ii) a
dividend of $3.2 million from the Bank to the Company; and (iii) the borrowing
of $4.0 million from a group of four Maine savings banks, secured by the pledge
by the Company of 100% of the outstanding common stock of the Bank.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

Effective as of November 22, 1994 the Bank entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding ("Memorandum") with the FDIC and the Maine Bureau of Banking.  The
Memorandum provides, among other things, that (i) the Bank continue to maintain
its allowance for loan and lease losses in accordance with applicable regulatory
requirements, (ii) the Board of Directors of the Bank continue to review the
adequacy of the Bank's loan and lease loss reserves and provide for adequate
reserves, (iii) the Bank continue to have a Tier 1 capital to total assets ratio
at or in excess of 6.0%, (iv) the Bank continue to comply with the FDIC's
Statement of Policy on Risk-Based Capital, (v) the Bank provide monthly progress
reports regarding substandard or doubtful assets, (vi) the Bank agree not to
extend or renew credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who or which has
a loan or other extension of credit with the Bank that has been charged-off or
classified in whole or in part, loss, doubtful or substandard and is uncollected
unless certain conditions are met, (vii) the Bank not declare or pay any
dividends


                                          7




without the prior written consent of the FDIC and the Maine Bureau of Banking,
and (viii) the Bank continue to furnish written progress reports detailing the
form and manner of any action taken to seek to secure compliance with the
Memorandum.  In addition, the Board of Directors is required to develop a
written plan of action to reduce the Bank's risk position with respect to each
borrower who had outstanding principal debt owing to the Bank in excess of
$500,000 which was classified substandard, in whole or in part, and other real
estate owned with a book value in excess of $500,000, as well as the formulation
of a strategic plan and policies covering investments, funds management and
various lending policies.  At June 30, 1996, the Bank had a Tier 1 capital to
total assets ratio of 10.34%.  The Bank's Tier 1 capital to total assets ratio
on a proforma basis assuming the $3.2 million dividend was paid to the Company
occurred at June 30, 1996 would be 8.04%.

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Under applicable federal regulations, the Company and Coastal are each required
to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital.  The Federal Reserve has
adopted a leverage-based capital requirement for bank holding companies with a
composite rating of 1 under the bank holding company rating system of a minimum
level of tier 1 capital to total assets of 3.0%.  All other bank holding
companies or bank subsidiaries of bank holding companies  are required to
maintain a minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to total assets of 4.0% to 5.0%.
Under the Federal Reserve's risk-based capital guidelines, bank holding
companies or banks also are required to maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying
total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%. The guidelines apply on a
consolidated basis to bank holding companies with consolidated assets of $150
million or more. For bank holding companies which have less than $150 million in
consolidated assets, as did the Company for each of the quarters ended June 30,
1995, September 30, 1995, December 31, 1995, March 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996,
the guidelines are applied on a bank-only basis (as opposed to a consolidated
basis) unless (i) the parent bank holding company is engaged in nonbank activity
involving significant leverage or (ii) the parent company has a significant
amount of debt that is held by the general public. The Federal Reserve capital
adequacy guidelines provide that "debt held by the general public" is debt held
by parties other than financial institutions, officers, directors, and
controlling stockholders of the banking organization or their related interests.
The FDIC Note is not considered to be "debt held by the general public" for
purposes of such capital guidelines. As a result, applied on a bank-only basis,
the Company's ratios of tier 1 capital to total assets, tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted assets, qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of
10.34%, 16.60%, and 17.87%, respectively, at June 30, 1996 were in compliance
with such guidelines.

The FDIC has also adopted minimum capital requirements as regulations for state
non-member banks such as the Bank.  Under the minimum leverage capital
requirement, insured state non-member banks must maintain a Tier 1 capital to
total assets ratio of at least 3% to 5% depending on the CAMEL rating of the
bank.  The Memorandum requires that the Bank continue to maintain a Tier 1
capital to total assets ratio at or in excess of 6.0%.  At June 30, 1996, the
Bank had a Tier 1 capital to total assets ratio of 10.34%.

In addition, under such regulations insured non-member banks must maintain a
minimum ratio of  qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%,
including a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.0%.  At
June 30, 1996, the Bank had a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of
16.60% and a ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of
17.87%.

NOTE B - ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the
Company have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles 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 ("GAAP") 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.  Operating results for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.  For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A-3 for the year
ended December 31, 1995.

Most of the Company's commercial real estate loans as of June 30, 1996 are
collateralized by real estate in Maine which has experienced a significant
decline in value since the market peak in the late 1980's.  In addition, all of
the real estate owned ("REO") are located in this same market.  Accordingly, the
ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the Company's loan portfolio
and the recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of REO have
been impacted by this real estate market decline and are particularly
susceptible to changes in market conditions in Maine.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and
REO, future additions to the allowance for loan losses ("Allowance") or
writedowns may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions.  In
addition, various regulatory authorities, as an integral part of their
examination process, periodically review the Company's Allowance and the
carrying value of REO.  Such authorities may require the Company to recognize
additions to the Allowance and/or write down the carrying value of REO based on
their judgments of information available to them at the time of their
examination.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 122, MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS,
which amends FASB Statement No. 65, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN MORTGAGE BANKING
ACTIVITIES.  This standard eliminates the distinction between purchased and
originated mortgage servicing rights and establishes the use of a valuation
allowance to recognize any impairment in the fair value of mortgage servicing
rights.  There was no effect to the Company's financial statements or results of
operations on January 1 and June 30, 1996 as a result of implementing FASB
Statement No. 122.

In addition, during October 1995, FASB issued SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, which establishes fair-value based accounting to
recognize compensation expense related to stock-based transactions.  For
employers, the fair-value based recognition provisions are not mandatory;
however, certain disclosure requirements are provided.  The Company intends to
comply with the disclosure requirements when required in 1996.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.


                                          9



INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Effective January 1, 1994 with the implementation of FASB Statement No. 115,
investment securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair
value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a
separate component of stockholders' equity.  Investment securities held to
maturity are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of bond premiums and
accretion of bond discounts.  There was no effect to the Company's financial
statements or results of operations on January 1, 1994 as a result of
implementing FASB Statement No. 115.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996,
investment securities classified as available for sale reflected an unrealized
loss of $138,000.

As of June 30, 1996, the Company's investment accounting policy states that all
securities purchased with an original maturity of over one year, other than
mortgage backed securities originated by the Bank with current loan production,
will be classified as available for sale.  Securities purchased with an original
maturity of one year or less, or callable U.S. government agency notes, will be
considered held-to-maturity.  Mortgage backed securities originated by the Bank
with current loan productions, will be classified as trading securities.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE STATED AT MARKET VALUE

Assets held for sale, consisting primarily of residential mortgages originated
for the purpose of potential sale, are valued at the lower of cost or market.

LOANS

Interest on loans is accrued and credited to operations based on the principal
amount outstanding.  The accrual of interest income is discontinued when a loan
becomes delinquent and, in management's opinion, borrowers may be unable to meet
contractual obligations.  Such accrual is discontinued where interest or
principal is 90 days or more past due, unless the loans are deemed to be
adequately secured and in the process of collection.  In these instances,
interest is recognized only when received.  When interest accruals are
discontinued, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed
and interest accrued in prior years is charged to the Allowance.

Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and
the new amount amortized as an adjustment to the related loan yield over the
estimated contractual life of the loan.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Allowance is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb
potential losses inherent in the current loan portfolio.  Management's
determination of the adequacy of the Allowance is based on an evaluation of the
portfolio, past and expected loan loss experience, current economic conditions,
growth and diversification of the loan portfolio, the results of the most recent
regulatory examinations, the nature and level of nonperforming assets, impaired
loans and loans that have been identified as potential problems, the adequacy of
collateral and other relevant factors.  The Allowance is increased by provisions
for loan losses charged against income and recoveries on loans previously
charged off.

The Company adopted FASB Statement No. 114, ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS FOR
IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN, on January 1, 1995.  Under such standard, a loan is
considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it is probable
that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal
or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
Management identifies impaired loans on a loan-by-loan basis.  The measurement
of impaired loans is generally based on the present value of expected future
cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate, with the
exception of all collateral-dependent loans,


                                          10




which are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral.
The adoption of FASB Statement No. 114 resulted in no additional provision for
loan losses as determined at January 1, 1995 and June 30, 1996.

REAL ESTATE OWNED ("REO")

REO, other than bank premises, consists of properties acquired through mortgage
loan foreclosure proceedings or in satisfaction of loans.  REO is initially
recorded at the lower of cost or fair value (minus estimated costs to sell) at
the date of foreclosure and any difference is charged to the Allowance at the
time of reclassification.  Subsequently, the values of such properties are
reviewed by management and writedowns, if any, are charged to expense.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated provisions for
depreciation and amortization, computed using the straight-line method over
estimated useful lives.

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

On May 31, 1995, the Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split with
respect to the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock,
which was approved by the Company's stockholders on January 31, 1995.  As a
result of the reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of common
stock of the Company was reduced from 6,006,745 shares (determined at the close
of business on May 31, 1995) to 600,361 shares.  As a result, $5,407,000 was
transferred from the Company's common stock account to paid-in capital.  All
applicable share and per share data appearing in the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for the reverse
stock split.

INCOME TAXES

The Company adopted FASB Statement No. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES, in 1993
which requires a change from the deferred method of accounting for income taxes
of APB Opinion 11 to the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes.  Under the asset and liability method of Statement No. 109, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  At December 31,
1995, the Company estimated that net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards for
federal income tax return purposes of $6.8 million were available to offset
future taxable income.  Due to the uncertainty that the benefit of net deferred
tax assets will be realized, a full valuation allowance has been recorded at
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.


                                          11



PART I - Item 2

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

TOTAL ASSETS

At June 30, 1996, total assets were $138.0 million, representing a decrease of
$7.5 million (or 5.2%) from total assets of $145.5 million at December 31, 1995.
This decrease was primarily attributable to the sale of the Bank's Kezar Falls
branch to Maine Bank & Trust Company on April 26, 1996 and which resulted in a
decrease in deposits and overall total assets of approximately $9.9 million. See
"Financial Condition - Liquidity - Coastal" for more information concerning the
branch sale.

INVESTMENTS

The Company's investment portfolio is comprised primarily of U.S. government and
agency obligations and also contains miscellaneous equity securities.  Total
investment securities at June 30, 1996 were $27.2 million compared to $19.7
million at December 31, 1995.  This increase is attributable to the purchase of
$5.0 million in U.S. government agency callable notes, $4.0 million in GNMA
mortgage-backed securities and $6.0 million in U.S. treasury securities,
partially offset by maturities of U.S. treasury securities totaling $3.0 million
and $4.0 million of U.S. government agency callable notes which were called
during the first quarter of 1996.  Investment securities classified as available
for sale are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded
from earnings and reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Investment securities held to maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for
amortization of bond premiums and accretion of bond discounts.

The following table sets forth the amortized cost and fair value of investment
securities for each major security type at June 30, 1996.

The net unrealized loss on investment securities classified as available for
sale was $138,000 at June 30, 1996, versus a net unrealized gain of $38,000 at
December 31, 1995.  The net unrealized loss on securities available for sale is
attributable to an increase in interest rates during the first six months of
1996.  The Company will continue to give consideration to further investments in

Loans decreased $4.6 million (or 4.6%) at June 30, 1996 as compared to  December
31, 1995.  The most significant reason for the decrease was the prepayment of
loans in advance of their scheduled maturity dates during the first quarter of
1996, as borrowers refinanced at lower interest rates.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company's allowance for loan losses ("Allowance") was $2.7 million at June
30, 1996 and December 31, 1995.  The Allowance represented 2.81% and 2.65% of
total loans, and 151.35% and 47.96% of nonperforming loans, at June 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995, respectively.

Although the balance of the Allowance remained relatively unchanged at June 30,
1996 as compared to December 31, 1995, the level is still expected to trend
moderately downwards for the remainder of 1996.  This is anticipated to occur as
previously identified loan loss exposure is quantified and recognized
(charged-off), either through


                                          13




negotiations and work out efforts, or through the commencement of collateral
liquidations.  Management believes there will not be a dramatic decline in the
Allowance such as was experienced at the end of 1995.

In determining reserve adequacy, management places a high reliance upon the
review of individual commercial loan assets to determine whether or not loss
exposure exists.  All such loans classified substandard or worse are assigned
individual allocated loan loss reserves, where appropriate.  Consistent with
current guidelines, a five percent reserve is also established against loans
graded special mention and various reserve percentages are established against
the non-classified balance of the commercial portfolio, as well as residential
loans, construction loans and consumer loans.  This methodology relies upon a
combination of current and anticipated trends, along with historical trends, in
establishing the appropriate reserve percentages for the different portfolios.

While the current level of the Allowance is believed to be adequate, the Company
continues to hold a large concentration of commercial real estate loans that
remain vulnerable to loan default.  Deterioration in the local economy or real
estate market, or upward movements in interest rates, could have an adverse
effect on the performance of the loan portfolio that could result in the need
for an increased allowance for loan losses.  Conversely, further improvement in
overall asset quality, favorable local economic conditions or a favorable local
real estate market, could positively effect the Allowance.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Information with respect to nonperforming assets is set forth below:

                                            ------       ------          ------


Nonaccrual loans of $1,633,000 increased by $897,000 as of June 30, 1996
compared to the March 31, 1996 total of $736,000.  This increase is primarily
attributable to two commercial loan relationships: (i) one loan relationship of
$625,000, previously classified as a restructured loan at March 31, 1996, moved
to nonaccrual as a result of nonperformance with the terms of the restructure,
and (ii) the second relationship equaling $230,000 was reclassified from
performing  to nonaccrual status (in July, 1996 this loan was paid down $48,000
by the borrowers and the remaining balance was transferred to REO).  REO and
repossessions declined $933,000 at June 30, 1996 compared to March 31, 1996
primarily as a result of the sale of two properties totaling $796,000 and
writedowns of existing REO property totaling $122,000.

The level of nonperforming assets declined 60.08% from December 31, 1995 to June
30, 1996, from $7.5 million to $3.0 million, respectively.  The current level of
nonperforming assets represents an 89.01% decline from the level established at
December 31, 1991 of $27.3 million.  While the downward trend in nonperforming
assets that has developed since 1991 is significant, the Company continues to
hold a large concentration of commercial real estate loans that remain
vulnerable to default.  Many of these loans were made at or near the peak in the
commercial real estate market in the late 1980's and the collateral coverage for
many loans may not be adequate to protect the Bank from potential losses in the
event such loans become nonperforming.  Deterioration in the local economy or
real estate market, or upward movements in interest rates, could have an adverse
impact on


                                          14




currently performing commercial real estate loan relationships.  These factors
could result in an increased incidence of loan defaults and, as a result, an
increased level of nonperforming loans.

IMPAIRED LOANS

Management reviews loans on a case by case basis to determine which loans should
be classified as impaired.  If management believes there is a high probability
of a loss of principal or interest, then such loans are determined to be
impaired.  At June 30, 1996, the recorded investment in loans for which
impairment has been recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 114 totaled
$1,514,000 compared to $3,728,000 at December 31, 1995.  The corresponding
allocated reserves for these loans was $326,000 for the period ended June 30,
1996.  Of the $1,514,000 of impaired loans, $1,300,000 was classified as
nonaccrual at June 30, 1996.  All impaired loans were secured by real estate at
June 30, 1996 and accounted for by the lower of the fair value of the collateral
or amortized loan value.

Impaired loans consisted of the following:


                                          June 30,    March 31,    December 31,

REAL ESTATE OWNED ("REO")

At June 30, 1996, REO consisted of 7 commercial and residential real estate
properties equaling $1,163,000 and 4 repossessed assets equaling $68,000.

REO is initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair value (minus estimated
costs to sell) at the date the Bank acquires title to the property and any
difference is charged to the Allowance at the time the property is classified as
REO.  Subsequently, the values of such properties are reviewed by management and
writedowns, if any, are charged to expense.  Costs relating to the development
and improvement of properties are capitalized; holding costs are charged to
expense.

LIQUIDITY - COASTAL

Deposits totaled $117.3 million at June 30, 1996, a decrease of $8.4 million (or
6.7%) from the level of $125.7 million at December 31, 1995.

On April 26, 1996, the Bank consummated its sale of the Kezar Falls branch to
Maine Bank & Trust Company.  Included in the sale were all of the branch
deposits totaling $9.9 million and certain of the furniture, fixtures and
equipment of the branch.  The Bank recognized a premium paid on the deposits of
$403,000, which was offset by expenses relating to the sale of $37,000.


                                          15




On April 20, 1996, the Bank implemented a new deposit program featuring seven
new checking account products.  The new program will entail increased
expenditures in marketing and a new mix of deposit products, which the Bank
believes will help to facilitate its efforts to increase its market share and
its non-interest income and to decrease its cost of funds.

Coastal has the capability of borrowing additional funds from the Federal Home
Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Boston with three-day advance notice when adequately
secured by qualified collateral.  Effective as of June 8, 1993, the FHLB of
Boston restricted new advances to maturities of six months or less as a result
of the cross guaranty claim.   On May 1, 1995, the Bank received a letter from
the FHLB of Boston stating that it would lengthen the maturity restriction on
new fixed term and fixed rate advances from six months to one year.  Coastal is
also approved by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston to obtain liquidity from its
"Discount Window" provided that assets are pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank's
satisfaction.

LIQUIDITY - PARENT

On a parent company only ("parent") basis, the Company conducts no separate
operations.  Its business consists of the business of its banking subsidiary.
In addition to debt service relating to the Note in the principal amount of $4.0
million issued by the Company to a group of four Maine savings banks on July 24,
1996 as part of the Company's recapitalization plan, the Company's expenses
consist primarily of Delaware franchise taxes associated with the Company's
authorized capital stock, and certain legal and various other expenses.
Expenses, including certain audit and professional fees, insurance and other
expenses, are allocated between Coastal and the Company based upon the relative
benefits derived.  At July 31, 1996 the parent's assets (other than its
investment in its subsidiary) consisted of $621,000 in cash.

Payment of dividends by the Company on its stock is subject to various
restrictions.  Among these restrictions is a requirement under Delaware
corporate law that dividends may be paid by the Company out of its surplus or,
in the event there is no surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in
which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.

The principal source of cash for the parent company would normally be a dividend
from Coastal; however, certain restrictions also exist regarding the ability of
Coastal to transfer funds to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans or
advances.  The most significant of these are described below.

Maine corporate law generally provides that dividends may only be paid out of
unreserved and unrestricted earned surplus or unreserved and unrestricted net
earnings of the current fiscal year and the next preceding fiscal year taken as
a single period.  Maine banking law also imposes certain restrictions, including
the requirement that the Bank establish and maintain adequate levels of capital
as set forth in rules adopted by the Maine Bureau of Banking.

Additionally, as a condition to the approval by the Maine Bureau of Banking of
the payment of the dividend in the amount of $3.2 million which was paid on July
24, 1996 by the Bank to the Company, the Maine Bureau of Banking required that
the Company commit to the Maine Bureau of Banking that it would not pay cash
dividends to its stockholders as long as the Company's debt to equity ratio is
above 25% (on a parent company only basis) without the prior approval of the
Maine Bureau of Banking.  The Company's proforma debt to equity ratio (on a
parent company only basis) at June 30, 1996, assuming the recapitalization was
consummated in the second quarter, would be approximately 50.80%.

The Memorandum (effective November 22, 1994) provides that the Bank may not pay
or declare any dividends without the prior written consent of the FDIC and the
Maine Bureau of Banking.


                                          16




On July 24, 1996, May 3, 1996, November 13, 1995 and November 30, 1994,
following the receipt of appropriate regulatory approvals, Coastal paid the
Company cash dividends of $3.2 million, $200,000, $200,000 and $175,000,
respectively, for certain current and anticipated operating expenses of the
Company and certain expenses related to the Company's recapitalization.

(1) Calculated on an average quarterly basis

Note:  As described in Note A to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the
Memorandum (effective November 22, 1994) among Coastal, the FDIC and the Maine
Bureau of Banking requires Coastal to maintain a Tier 1 capital to total  assets
ratio of 6.0% or greater.  Coastal's Tier 1 capital to total assets ratio at
June 30, 1996 was 10.34% and 8.04% on a proforma basis assuming the $3.2 million
dividend was paid to the Company at June 30, 1996.

CAPITAL - COMPANY

The Federal Reserve capital adequacy guidelines apply on a consolidated basis to
bank holding companies with consolidated assets of $150 million or more (See
"Note A").  For bank holding companies which have less than $150 million in
consolidated assets, as did the Company for each of the quarters ended June 30,
1995, September 30, 1995, December 31, 1995, March 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996,
the guidelines are applied on a bank-only basis (as opposed to a consolidated
basis) unless (i) the parent bank holding company is engaged in nonbank activity
involving significant leverage or (ii) the parent company has a significant
amount of debt that is held by the general public.  The Federal Reserve capital
adequacy guidelines provide that "debt held by the general public" is debt held
by parties other than financial institutions, officers, directors, and
controlling stockholders


                                          17



of the banking organization or their related interests.  The FDIC Note is not
considered to be "debt held by the general public" for purposes of such capital
guidelines.  As a result, applied on a bank-only basis, the Company's ratios of
tier 1 capital to total assets, tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and
qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 10.34%, 16.60%, and 17.87%,
respectively, at June 30, 1996 were in compliance with such guidelines.  If the
Company were required to calculate its ratios of tier 1 capital to total assets,
tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and qualifying total capital to
risk-weighted assets on a consolidated basis, such ratios would be 3.43%, 5.51%
and 6.78%, respectively, at June 30, 1996.

The Company suspended the payment of cash dividends to its stockholders in the
fourth quarter of 1989 and has not paid any cash dividends to its stockholders
since that time.  See "Liquidity - Parent" for restrictions on dividends.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
NET INCOME(LOSS)

The net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was $556,000 and
$893,000, respectively, compared with net income of $214,000 and $439,000 for
the same respective periods last year.  The improvement in earnings for 1996 is
primarily attributable the consummation of the sale of the Company's Kezar Falls
branch to Maine Bank & Trust Company, resulting in a net gain of $366,000,
calculated by deducting $37,000 in expenses associated with the closing from the
gross deposit premium received of $403,000.  In addition, earnings were
positively impacted by no provision for loan loss expense for the six months
ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $175,000 of provision expense for the same
period last year.  Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were reduced
by a decline in net interest income of $87,000 compared to the six months ended
June 30, 1995.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was $1.4
million and $2.9 million, respectively, compared to $1.5 million and $3.0
million, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The modest
decrease is primarily attributable to the increase in interest expense on the
FDIC note of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the
same respective period last year.  The Company's net interest margin remained
relatively unchanged, 4.26% at June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

There was no provision for loan loss expense for the six months ended June 30,
1996, versus $175,000 provision expense for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
This is attributable to several factors, including the essentially unchanged
level of the Allowance, both in dollars ($2.7 million at June 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995) and as a percentage of total loans (2.81% at June 30, 1996
versus 2.65% at December 31, 1995), the decline in nonperforming loans, and
management's review of the portfolio and its determination of the adequacy of
the Allowance as of June 30, 1996.

The Company's policy is to fund the Allowance by charging operations in the form
of provision for loan loss expense which represents estimated loss exposure
based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio and current economic trends.
The Company continues to hold a large concentration of commercial real estate
loans.  The ultimate collectibility of the Company's commercial real estate loan
portfolio is particularly susceptible to changes in local real estate market
conditions.  Deterioration in the local economy or real estate market, or upward


                                          18



movement in interest rates, could have an adverse impact on the loan portfolio
that could result in the need for increased provision for loan loss expense.

Management believes that the Allowance is adequate at June 30, 1996.  However,
future additions to the Allowance may be necessary based on changes in the
financial condition of various borrowers, new information that becomes available
relative to various borrowers and loan real estate collateral, as well as
changes in local, regional or national economic conditions.  In addition,
various regulatory authorities, as an integral part of their examination
process, periodically review the Company's Allowance.  Such authorities may
require the Company to recognize additions to the Allowance based upon
information available to them and their judgments at the time of their
examination.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME

Other operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was
$513,000 and $644,000, respectively, as compared to $139,000 and $307,000 for
the same respective periods in 1995.  In the second quarter of 1996 the Company
realized a net gain of $366,000 from the sale of its Kezar Falls branch.
Additionally, other income for the six months ended June 30, 1995 includes a
realized gain on trading accounts of $33,000.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES

Other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was
$1.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, as compared to $1.3 million and
$2.7 million for the same respective periods in 1995.  Although other operating
expenses remained relatively unchanged for the three and six months ended June
30, 1996 compared to the same respective periods last year, the Company incurred
approximately $77,000 in marketing expenses associated with its new deposit
program which was implemented in April, 1996.  Management believes that this new
deposit program will increase its other operating expense category, mainly in
the marketing area, in order for the Bank to facilitate its efforts to increase
the Bank's market share of deposits.  Additionally, the Company expects overall
expenses to decline by approximately $224,000 on an annualized basis resulting
from two items: (i) the sale of the Kezar Falls branch in April of 1996 is
expected to reduce occupancy and other expenses by approximately $74,000
annualized, and (ii) the computer conversion scheduled to occur in August, 1996
will reduce overall expense by approximately $150,000.
