Item 1:  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Union Bankshares Company



We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated financial
information of Union Bankshares Company and Subsidiary as of September 30,
2004 and 2003, and for the three- 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 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 financial statements for them to be in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

                 ------------------------------------------
                                  Unaudited
                                  ---------

(A) Basis of Presentation
    ---------------------

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Union Bankshares
Company (the "Company") and its subsidiary, Union Trust Company (the
"Bank"), as of September 30, 2004 and 2003 and for the three- and nine
month periods then ended are unaudited. However, in the opinion of the
Company, all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring accruals necessary
for a fair presentation have been reflected therein. Interim results are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.

Certain financial information which is normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, but which is not required for interim reporting purposes, has
been omitted. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in the Company's financial statements. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

(B) Earnings Per Share
    ------------------

Earnings per common share are computed by dividing the net income available
for common stock by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during this period.

(C) Intangible Assets
    -----------------

The Company has goodwill with a carrying amount of $6.3 million as of
September 30, 2004 and 2003, and as of December 31, 2003. Upon adoption of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets", on January 1, 2002, amortization of goodwill was
discontinued and the goodwill is evaluated for impairment at least
annually.

The Company has an intangible asset subject to amortization related to the
acquisition of a bank in 2000. The core deposit intangible is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 7 years, and reviewed for possible
impairment when it is determined that events or changed circumstances may
affect the underlying basis of the asset. The carrying amount is as
follows:

Amortization expense amounted to $12,000 for the three month periods ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003. The expected amortization expense is estimated

month period ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 was 30.5% and
33.1%, respectively.

(I) Regulatory Agencies
    -------------------

The Bank's primary regulators are the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and,
as a state chartered bank, the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the
State of Maine.

(J) Recent Accounting Developments
    ------------------------------

In December 2003, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position (SOP) No. 03-3, "Accounting for Certain Loans and/or
Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer." This SOP addresses accounting for
differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be
collected from an investor's initial investment in loans or debt securities
acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable to credit
quality. This SOP does not apply to loans originated by the entity, and it
prohibits both the creating and carry over of valuation allowances in the
initial accounting of all loans acquired in a transfer within the scope of
this SOP. This prohibition of the carry over applies to purchase of an
individual loan, a pool of loans, a group of loans and loans acquired in a
purchase business combination. This SOP is effective for loans acquired in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. Based on presently
available information, management believes the adoption of this SOP will
not have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

On March 9, 2004, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 105,
"Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments," ("SAB 105") to
inform registrants of the Staff's view that the fair value of the recorded
loan commitments should not consider the expected future cash flows related
to the associated servicing of the future loan. The provisions of SAB 105
must be applied to loan commitments accounted for as derivatives that are
entered into after March 31, 2004. The Staff will not object to the
application of existing accounting practices to loan commitments accounted
for as derivatives that are entered into on or before March 31, 2004, with
appropriate disclosures. On April 1, 2004, the Company adopted the
provisions of SAB 105. The Company records the value of its mortgage loan
commitments at fair market value for mortgages it intends to sell. The
Company does not currently include, and was not including, the value of

mortgage loan commitments. Therefore, the adoption of SAB 105 did not have
an impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

(K) Stock Repurchase Plan
    ---------------------

On April 14, 2004, the Board of Directors voted to authorize the Company to
purchase up to 28,850 shares or approximately 5% of its outstanding common
stock. The authority may be exercised from time to time and in such amounts
as market conditions warrant. The Company repurchased 500 shares as part of
this plan during the third quarter of 2004 at an average price of $97.44.

(L) Reclassification
    ----------------

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

(M) Employee Benefits
    -----------------

The Company's subsidiary sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension
plan covering substantially all permanent full-time employees.

The Company sponsors a postretirement benefit program that provides medical
coverage and life insurance benefits to certain employees and directors who
meet minimum age and service requirements. Active employees and directors
accrue benefits over a 25-year period.

In December 2003, the President signed the Medicare Prescription Drug,
Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) into law. The Act
includes the following two new features to Medicare (Medicare Part D) that
could affect the measurement of the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation (APBO) and net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the
Plan:

      *  A subsidy to plan sponsors that is based on 28% of an individual
         beneficiary's annual prescription drug costs between $250 and
         $5,000, and

      *  The opportunity for a retiree to obtain a prescription drug
         benefit under Medicare.

The effects of the Act on the APBO or net periodic postretirement benefit
cost have not been determined and are not reflected in these financial
statements or accompanying notes. Pending specific authoritative guidance
on the accounting for the federal subsidy could require the Company to
change previously reported information when the guidance is issued.

Net periodic benefit cost of these plans includes the following components
for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30:

(N) Treasury Stock
    --------------

A revision to the Maine Business Corporation Act requires that stock
reacquired by a corporation be classified as "authorized but unissued",
effectively eliminating a corporation's ability to hold stock in treasury.

In order to recognize the effect of the revision, the Company retired its
treasury stock as of June 30, 2004. The 11,507 shares so retired are
available for reissuance as authorized, but unissued shares.

Item 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The following discussion compares the consolidated financial condition of
Union Bankshares Company at September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 and
September 30, 2004 to December 31, 2003, and the results of operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the same period in
2003. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included within
this report.

Forward Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" which may be
identified by the use of such words as "believe," "expect," "anticipate,"
"should," "planned," "estimated" and "potential." Examples of forward-
looking statements include, but are not limited to, estimates with respect
to our financial condition, results of operations and business that are
subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ
materially from these estimates. These factors include, but are not limited
to:

*     The strength of the United States economy in general and the strength
      of the local economies in which we operate;
*     Changes in deposit flows, demand for mortgages and other loans, real
      estate values, and
      competition;
*     Changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including
      interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board;
*     Changes in accounting principles, policies, or guidelines; and
*     Other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and
      technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and
      services.

This list of important factors is not exclusive. Union Bankshares and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Union Trust Company, disclaims any obligation to
update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be
made from time to time by or on their behalf.

General

Union Bankshares is a one-bank holding company, organized under the laws of
the State of Maine and headquartered in Ellsworth, Maine. Union Bankshares'
only subsidiary is Union Trust Company, which is a full service,
independent, community bank with fifteen offices located along Maine's
coast, stretching from Waldoboro to Machias.

Union Trust's business consists of attracting deposits from the general
public and using these funds to originate various types of loans, including
mortgage loans secured by one-to four-family residences, commercial loans
secured by general business assets, commercial real estate loans secured by
commercial property, and to invest in U.S. Government and federal agency
and others securities. To a lesser extent, Union Trust engages in various
forms of consumer and home equity lending.

Our profitability depends primarily on its net interest income, which is
the difference between the interest income earned on loans and investment
portfolio and the cost of funds, which consists mainly of interest paid on
deposits and on borrowings from the FHLB. Net interest income is affected
by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on these balances. When
interest-earning assets approximate or exceed interest-bearing liabilities,
any positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income.

Our profitability is also affected by the level of non-interest income and
non-interest expense. Non-interest income consists primarily of service
fees, loan servicing and other loan fees and gains on sales of securities.
Non-interest expense consists of salaries and benefits, occupancy related
expenses and other general operating expenses.

The operations of Union Trust, and banking institutions in general, are
significantly influenced by general economic conditions and related
monetary and fiscal policies of financial institution's regulatory
agencies. Deposit flows and the cost of funds are influenced by interest
rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest.

Lending activities are affected by the demand for financing real estate and
other types of loans, which in turn are affected by the interest rates at
which such financing may be offered and other factors affecting loan demand
and the availability of funds.

Business Strategy

Our business strategy is to operate as a well-capitalized, profitable
community bank dedicated to financing home ownership, small business and
consumer needs in its market area and providing quality service to its
customers. We have implemented this strategy by: (i) monitoring the needs
of customers and providing quality service; (ii) emphasizing consumer-
oriented banking by originating residential mortgage loans and consumer
loans, and by offering various deposit accounts and other financial
services and products; (iii) emphasizing commercial banking and lending by
originating loans for small businesses and providing greater services in
its commercial and commercial real estate loan department; (iv) maintaining
high asset quality through conservative underwriting; and (v) producing
stable earnings.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December
31, 2003 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2003 contain a summary of the Company's significant accounting
policies. We believe that our policy with respect to the methodology for
determining the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of
complexity and requires management to make difficult and subjective
judgments which often require assumptions or estimates about highly
uncertain matters. Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates
could cause reported results to differ materially. These critical policies
and their application are periodically reviewed with Union Bankshares'
Audit Committee and Board of Directors.

Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields

The following tables set forth certain information relating to Union
Bankshares' average balance sheet and reflect the interest earned on assets
and interest cost of liabilities for the periods indicated and the average
yields earned and rates paid for the periods indicated. Such yields and
costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average monthly
balances of assets and liabilities, respectively, for the periods
presented. Average balances are derived from daily balances. Loans on
nonaccrual status are included in the average balances of loans shown in
the tables. The securities in the following tables are presented at
amortized cost.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. Our primary sources of funds consist of
deposits, borrowings, repayments and prepayments of loans, sales and
participation of loans, maturities of securities and interest-bearing
deposits and funds provided from operations. While scheduled repayments of
loans and maturities of securities are predictable sources of funds,
deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the general
level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company
uses its liquidity resources primarily to fund existing and future loan
commitments, to fund net deposit outflows, to invest in other interest-
earning assets, to maintain liquidity and to meet operating expenses.

The Company is required to maintain adequate levels of liquid assets. This
guideline, which may be varied depending upon economic conditions and
deposit flows, is measured by the core basic surplus. As of September 30,
2004 the Company's basic surplus was $91.4 million, or 18.8% of total
assets. Total basic surplus (basic surplus plus funding available by using
qualifying loans to secure Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances) was
$115.6 million, or 23.8% of total assets. This provides the Bank with
meaningful capacity and flexibility to fund new loan and investment
opportunities, and provide protection for unanticipated deposit
fluctuations.

A major portion of the Company's liquidity consists of cash and cash
equivalents, short-term U.S. Government and federal agency obligations and
corporate bonds. The level of these assets is dependent upon the Company's
operating, investing, lending and financing activities during any given
period.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of management.
If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them
internally, the Bank has the ability to borrow additional funds from the
FHLB. At September 30, 2004, the Bank had borrowings of $112.3 million from
the FHLB. The Company anticipates that it will continue to have sufficient
funds, through repayments, deposits and borrowings, to meet its current
commitments.

The Federal Reserve Board guidelines for risk-based approach to measuring
the capital adequacy of bank holding companies and state-chartered banks
that are members of the Federal Reserve System generally call for an 8%
total

capital ratio of which 4% must be comprised of Tier I capital. Risk-based
capital ratios are calculated by weighing assets and off-balance sheet
instruments according to their relative credit risks. At September 30,
2004, the Company and the Bank had exceeded all the minimum capital ratios.
The Bank's capital position at September 30, 2004 was as follows:

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2004 and December 31,
2003

Total assets amounted to $486.5 million at September 30, 2004 compared to
$464.2 million at December 31, 2003, an increase of $22.3 million or 4.8%.
The increase in total assets was resulted from an increase in net loans of
$18.3 million or 6.5% and an increase in available for sale securities of
$6.1 million or 4.7%.

Cash and due from banks were $11.6 million at September 30, 2004 compared
to $14.7 million at December 31, 2003, a decrease of $3.1 million or 21.2%,
primarily due to higher than normal seasonal outflows and funding of new
loan growth. Securities available for sale increased to $135.1 million at
September 30, 2004 from $129.0 million at December 31, 2003. The growth in
the investment portfolio was primarily due to an increase in US Government
Agency Securities in an effort to maintain and grow earning assets.

Net loans increased by $18.3 million or 6.5% to $300.3 million or 61.7% of
total assets at September 30, 2004 as compared to $282.0 million or 60.7%
of total assets at December 31, 2003. The increase was primarily due to
growth in residential real estate loans, the Bank's efforts to develop new
lending relationships, and the expansion of existing borrowing
relationships.

Real estate loans increased by $13.3 million or 5.5% to $255.1 million at
September 30, 2004 from $241.8 million at December 31, 2003, primarily due
to competitive pricing and market share growth.

Commercial and industrial, municipal and consumer loans increased by $5.0
million or 11.2% to $49.6 million at September 30, 2004 from $44.6 million
at December 31, 2003, primarily due to growth in home equity loans. The
increase in municipal loans was primarily due to our success in the loan
bidding process.

The Company's deposits increased to $309.3 million at September 30, 2004
from $298.5 million at December 31, 2003, an increase of $10.9 million or
3.6%. Demand deposit accounts increased by $5.9 million or 14.2% to $47.1
million at September 30, 2004 from $41.2 million at December 31, 2003.
Savings deposits, including NOW deposits, increased by $18.0 million or
14.9% to $139.0 million at September 30, 2004 from $121.1 million at
December 31, 2003. The increase in deposits was primarily due to seasonal
inflows and market growth. The Bank also offered a new deposit product
during the third quarter of 2004.

Borrowings increased by $7.3 million or 6.9%, to $112.3 million at
September 30, 2004 from $105.0 million at December 31, 2003, primarily as a
result of an increase in funding to support the growth in net loans.

Comparison of the Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003

The operating results of the Company depend primarily on its net interest
income, which is the difference between interest income on earning assets
(primarily loans and investments) and interest expense (primarily deposits
and borrowings). The Company's results are also affected by the provision
for loan losses; noninterest income, including gains and losses on the
sales of loans and securities; noninterest expense and income tax expense.

Net Income. Net income increased to $1.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2004, from $1.1 million for the three months ended September
30, 2003. The third quarter results reflect an increase in net interest
income of $524,000, or 14.8%, a decrease in non-interest income of $36,000
or 2.5% and an increase in non-interest expense of $431,000, or 13.4%.
Return on average assets was 1.04% for the three months ended September 30,
2004 as compared to 1.07% for the three months ended September 30, 2003.
Return on average equity was 12.13%for the three months ended September 30,
2004 as compared to 11.03% for the three months ended September 30, 2003.

Net income increased to $3.7 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2004, from $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.
The nine months ended September 30 results reflect an increase in net
interest income of $1.6 million, or 15.4%, a decrease in non-interest
income of $545,000 or 11.1% and an increase in non-interest expense of
$638,000, or 6.3%. Return on average assets was 1.07% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004, compared to 1.11% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003. Return on average equity was 12.01% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004, compared to 11.15% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003.

Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income increased
by $673,000 or $13.5 to $5.6 million for the three months ended September
30, 2004 from $5.0 million. The increase was primarily due to higher
earning assets, in particular, loans and investments. The average balance
of net loans for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was $301.0
million compared to $257.6 million for the three months ended September 30,
2003. The average tax equivalent yield on loans was 5.53% for the three
months ended September 30, 2004 compared to 5.96% for the three months
ended September 30, 2003.

The average balance of investments for the three months ended September 30,
2004 was $143.2 million compared to $117.6 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2003. The average tax equivalent yield on investments
was 4.24% for the three months ended September 30, 2004, versus 4.11% for
the same period ended September 30, 2003.

Total interest and dividend income increased by $1.6 million or 10.8% to
$16.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $14.8
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase was
primarily the result of an increase in earning assets offset in part by
lower yields. The average balance of net loans for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 was $291.2 million compared to $242.1 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2003. The average tax equivalent yield on
loans was 5.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to
6.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

The average balance of investments for the nine months ended September 30,
2004 was $137.4 million compared to $116.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2003. The average tax equivalent yield on investments
was 4.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, and 4.3% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease was primarily due to an
overall investment strategy to maintain interest income revenue levels
while maintaining adequate liquidity on the balance sheet, offset in part
by lower yields.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased by $149,000 or 10.4% for
the three months ended September 30, 2004 from $1.4 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2003. The increase in interest expense was
primarily due to higher costs of borrowings. Average interest-bearing
deposits of $253.8 million remained flat for the three months ended
September 30, 2004 to September 30, 2003. Average borrowings increased by
$63.5 million to $132.6 million for the three months ended September 30,
2004 from $69.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, as a
result of an increase in the funding of new loans and investments. The
average rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased 17 basis points to
1.1%, while the average rate on borrowed funds decreased 94 basis points to
2.65% from 3.59% during the same period.

Total interest expense increased by $4,000 or 0.1% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 from $4.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to
higher costs of

borrowings. Average interest-bearing deposits increased by $3.4 million or
1.4% to $248.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Average
borrowings increased by $58.6 million to $126.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 from $67.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003, as a result of an increase in the funding of new loans
and investments. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased 33
basis points to 1.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from 1.4
% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, while the average rate on
borrowed funds decreased 109 basis points to 2.6% from 3.6% during the same
period.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended
September 30, 2004 was $4.1 million as compared to $3.5 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2003. The increase in net interest income
was the result of an increase in interest and dividend income. The average
yield on interest earning assets decreased 26 basis points to 5.11% for the
three months ended September 30, 2004 from 5.37% for the three months ended
September 30, 2003, while the average cost on interest-bearing liabilities
decreased by 13 basis points to 1.62% for the three months ended September
30, 2004 from 1.75% for the three months ended September 30, 2003. As a
result, the interest rate spread decreased by 13 basis points to 3.49% for
the three months ended September 30, 2004 from 3.62% for the three months
ended September 30, 2003. The net interest margin decreased by 17 basis
points to 3.70% for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from 3.87%
from the three months ended September 30, 2003.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $11.9
million as compared to $10.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2003. The increase in net interest income was the result of an increase
in interest and dividend income. The average yield on interest earning
assets decreased 43 basis points to 5.2% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 from 5.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003,
while the average cost on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 31
basis points to 1.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from 1.9%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. As a result, the interest
rate spread decreased by 12 basis points to 3.6% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 from 3.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.
The net interest margin decreased by 0.17% to 3.81% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 from 3.98% from the nine months ended September
30, 2003.

The following table presents the effect of tax exempt income on the
calculation of the net interest margin:

Provision for Loan Losses. Provisions for loan losses, which are charged to
operations and resulting loan loss allowances, are amounts that we believe
will be adequate to absorb probably losses on existing loans may become
uncollectible. Loans are charged off against the allowance when we believe
collection is unlikely. We engage an independent loan review service to
conduct a periodic review of our commercial loan portfolio.

Our provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004
was $143,000 plus an additional $50,000 for the overdraft privilege
program, compared to $315,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003,
and $13,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, compared to
$105,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in the
provision for loan losses was the result of management's evaluation of
Union Trust's prior loan loss experience, changes in the nature of the loan
portfolio, overall portfolio quality and overall economic conditions. The
allowance for loan losses was $4.5 million or 1.5% of total loans as of
September 30, 2004 and $4.2 million or 1.5% at September 30, 2003.

Non-performing loans at September 30, 2004 totaled $990,000 as compared to
$1.8 million at September 30, 2003. The decrease is primarily due to
several larger loan upgrades and loan workouts. Although we utilize our
best judgment in providing for probable losses, there can be no assurances
that we will not have to increase the provision for loan losses in the
future as a result of increased loan demand, future increases in non-
performing assets or other factors that may be outside the control of our
management.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased by $36,000, or 2.5%, to
$1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from $1.4
million for the three months ended September 30, 2003. This decrease was
not

unexpected and is consistent with industry-wide trends. Loan fees
decreased $191,000, or 46.1%, for the three months ended September 30,
2004, primarily due to the slowdown of mortgage refinancing activity.
Financialservices income increased by $44,000, or 9.4%, to $510,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2004 from $466,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2003. The increase in financial services income was a
result of an increase in the market value of trust assets.

Noninterest income, excluding net securities gains, decreased by $635,000,
or 13.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $4.9 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2003. This decrease was not unexpected
and is consistent with industry-wide trends. Loan fees decreased $700,000,
or 50.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, primarily due to
the slowdown of mortgage refinancing activity. Financial services income
increased by $109,000, or 7.9%, to $1.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 from $1.4 million for the nine months ended September

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. In the normal course of business, the Bank
is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the
financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include
commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. The instruments
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk. The contract amounts
of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in
particular classes of financial instruments. At September 30, 2004, and
September 30, 2003, the following financial instruments, whose contract
amounts represent credit risk, were outstanding.
