Audit Committee

Camden National Corporation Retirement Savings 401(k) Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Camden National Corporation Retirement Savings 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Camden National Corporation Retirement Savings 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplementary information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

CAMDEN NATIONAL CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS 401(k) PLAN

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2006 and 2005

 

1. Description of Plan

The following description of the Camden National Corporation Retirement Savings 401(k) Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of Camden National Corporation (the Corporation) and its subsidiaries, Camden National Bank, Acadia Trust, N.A., and UnitedKingfield Bank, who have at least 30 days of service and are age twenty-one or older. Effective September 29, 2006, the Corporation merged its two banking subsidiaries, Camden National Bank and UnitedKingfield Bank under the Camden National Bank charter. Under the provisions of the Plan, investment activity is directed by individual participants. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Contributions

Participants may contribute up to the maximum percentage of compensation and dollar amount permissible under Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code), not to exceed the limits of Code Sections 401(k), 404, and 415. Participants may direct investments into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Corporation matches 100% of participants’ contributions up to 3% of salary, and 50% of participants’ contributions that exceed 3% of salary, but do not exceed 5% of salary. The Corporation may also make additional discretionary matching and profit sharing contributions. Contributions are subject to certain limitations.

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions plus actual earnings thereon, safe harbor matching contributions and discretionary matching contributions. Beginning January 1, 2007, vesting in the Corporation profit sharing portion of their accounts, plus earnings thereon, is based on a six-year graded vesting schedule. Prior to January 1, 2007, vesting was based on a seven-year graded vesting schedule.

Participant Loans

Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested account balance, whichever is less. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at rates which are commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined by the plan administrator. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2006 and 2005

 

Administrative Expenses

Substantially all administrative expenses are paid by the Corporation.

Payment of Benefits

On termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a participant may elect to receive an amount equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account in either a lump-sum amount, or a 50% joint and survivor annuity. For termination of service due to other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution.

 

2. Summary of Accounting Policies

Benefit Payments

Benefits are recorded when paid.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Financial Statements

4. Tax Status

The Plan obtained its latest determination letter dated April 2003, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Corporation believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

5. Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Corporation has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA.

 

6. Party-In-Interest Transactions

Acadia Trust, N.A. (Acadia) is the Plan’s trustee. Employees of Acadia are also covered by the Plan as Acadia is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Camden National Corporation. Compensation for services provided is paid directly by the Corporation.

The Plan owned 24,941 and 29,307 shares of Camden National Corporation common stock valued at $1,150,279 and $963,614 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Also included in the Plan’s net assets at December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $2,535,111 of Camden National Bank FDIC Insured Fund and $2,150,366 of UnitedKingfield Bank Money Market Account, respectively. Accordingly, transactions within these funds qualify as party-in-interest.

 

7. Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.
