INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' 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 June 30,
2000, and for the three- and six-month period then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review 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 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 review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 Unaudited

(A)  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Union Bankshares Company
and its subsidiary (Union Trust Company) for the six month period ended June 30,
2000 and 1999 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.

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.  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, 1999.

(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.  Weighted shares for the six months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999 were 577,961 and 550,111, respectively, and have been restated for
1999 to reflect a May  28, 1999 20% stock dividend.

(C)  Off-Balance Sheet Items

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 in
excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial position.  The
contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the
Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments.  At June 30, 2000,
and June 30, 1999, the following financial instruments, whose contract amounts
represent credit risk, were outstanding.

                                                               June 30

                                                            2000      1999
1.  Unused Commitments:

  A.   Revolving, open-end lines secured by
        1-4 family residential properties,
        e.g., Home Equity lines                             $6,543   $6,384
  B.   Credit card lines                                     6,453    6,137

  D.   Other                                                18,318   19,513

2.   Financial Standby Letters of Credit:                       82      165

(D)  Regulatory Agencies

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

(E)  General

Any loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard or
special mention that were not disclosed under Item III of Industry Guide 3 do
not (1) represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management
reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity
or capital resources or (2) represent material credits about which management is
aware of any information which causes management to have serious doubts as to
the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms.

(F)  Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles which require the measurement of
financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without
considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due
to inflation.

Unlike many industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and virtually
all of the liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result,
interest rates have a more significant impact on the Company's performance than
the general level of inflation.  Over short periods of time, interest rates may
not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as
inflation.

(G)  Recent Accounting Developments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued the following Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS):

  SFAS No. 137   Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
  SFAS No. 138   Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain
                   Hedging Activities

SFAS No. 137 and 138, which amend SFAS No. 133 and establish accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities, are
effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000.  The Company does not expect these statements to have any material impact
to its consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging activity.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 133
effective July 1, 1998.  During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, the Company did not hold any derivative instruments, and management does
not expect to enter into derivative transactions in the near future.  The effect
of adopting SFAS No. 133 on the consolidated financial statements of the
Company was limited to the transfer of securities from held to maturity to
available for sale.

(H) Recent Developments

As part of its efforts to broaden its community banking franchises and
enhance shareholder value, the Company announced during the first quarter of
2000 that it is expanding into the neighboring Waldo, Knox and Lincoln market.
A definitive merger agreement was signed to acquire all of the outstanding
common stock of Mid-Coast Bancorp, Inc. ("Mid-Coast"), the holding company for
Waldoboro Savings Bank.  As a result, the savings bank, with assets of $78.0
million, will merge the operations of its four branch locations into Union's
branch network.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay $15.875
per share in cash for each of the 715,457 outstanding shares of Mid-Coast
common stock.  The aggregate purchase price is approximately $11.9 million,
which includes exercising all outstanding stock options.  The transaction,
which will be accounted for under the purchase method, is expected to close in
the third quarter of 2000.  The transaction has been approved by the Company's
and  Mid-Coast's shareholders and is subject to approval by various regulatory
agencies.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                         AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Earnings and Performance Overview

The following discussion and analysis focuses on the factors affecting Union
Bankshares Company (The Company) financial condition at June 30, 2000 as
compared to June 30, 1999.

Results of Operations

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 expenses; and income tax expense.  Each of these
major components of the Company's operating results is highlighted below.

Net Income

The Company reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 of
$626,493 versus $660,971 for the same period in 1999, and net income for the
first six months of 2000 of $1,453,015 versus $1,705,412 for the same period
in 1999.

The following table summarizes the status of the Company's earnings and
performance for the periods stated:

                                                      June 30,
                                                  2000        1999
Earnings Per Share                               2.51        2.95
Return on Average Shareholders Equity            4.90%A      6.27%B
Return on Average Assets                         0.57%A      0.72%B
Return on Average Earning Assets                 0.59%A      0.77%B

A=annualized returns are:    9.80%, 1.14%, and 1.18%, respectively.
B=annualized returns are:   12.54%, 1.44%, and 1.54%, respectively.

The decrease in net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000
versus the same periods in 1999 was not unexpected due to several events that
occurred in the first six months of 1999, including one time gains on a sale
of bank owned property and security gains realized on the Company's security
portfolio.

As a result of narrowing margins, (offset in part by overall loan growth
during 2000), net interest income for the second quarter of 2000 and for the
first six months of 2000 was up a modest $94,629 or 3.8% and $214,105 or 4.3%,
respectively, from the same periods last year, due to margin compression and
increased competition and pricing pressures in the Bank's immediate market area.

The decrease in noninterest income results primarily from one time events in
1999 which was a gain on the sale of other real estate owned of $153,984 and
security gains of $101,988, offset by improvements in bankcard and trust fees.

Noninterest expenses, consisting primarily of employee compensation and
benefits, occupancy and equipment expense and other general operating
expenses, for the second quarter of 2000 and the six months ended June 30, 2000
increased $247,362 and $399,755, respectively, from the same periods in 1999
due to increased staffing and the expenses related to upgrading equipment and
facilities.

During 2000, the Company is continuing to implement specific strategic
priorities that will focus on growing the Bank and increasing fee based
revenues and controlling overall expense.  With the ever changing
environment of interest rate risk, fee income has developed into a
significant component in the Bank's total revenue generation goals.  While
revenue generation is a top priority, the Company will also focus on
productivity and maximizing the returns of its financial and human
resources and exploring new fee generation opportunities.

The Bank is constantly monitoring the economy and its effect on the banking
industry in New England, and in particular, in Maine, in Hancock and Washington
Counties (our service territories).  The economy of this area continues to lag
the national trend, inflation remains low, and growth will be moderate and as
in years past, we will continue to operate in a conservatively planned manner.
We are growing according to our strategic plan and remain within the risk
parameters we have set forth for ourselves, with the goals of improved earnings
and productivity.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income, the difference between interest income on earning assets
such as loans and investment securities and interest expense on interest
bearing liabilities such as funds on deposit and borrowed funds continues to
be the most significant determinant of the Company's earnings performance.
Because of the significance of net interest income, the management of interest
rate risk has become increasingly important to ensure the continued
profitability of the Bank.  Interest rate risk results from volatile interest
rates, increased competition, and changes in the regulatory environment.  As a
banking company, our exposure to interest rate movements is controlled by
matching the interest rates as well as the maturities of assets and liabilities.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2000 was $2,560,846, up a modest
$94,629 or 3.8% and for the first six months of 2000 was $5,192,564, up
$214,105 or 4.3% over the same periods in 1999.

The following table illustrates the bank's net interest spread position:

                                            Six Months Ended June 30,
                                                 2000        1999

Yield on Earning Assets                         7.84%       7.53%
Cost of all Funds                               3.21%       2.89%
Net Interest Margin                             4.63%       4.64%

The Bank continues to monitor short and long-term interest rates, balance sheet
volumes and maturities in order to evaluate the potential impact on its net
interest spreads and capital.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses for the six month period ended June 30, 2000
decreased $35,000 to $75,000 from the same period last year, resulting from
management's ongoing evaluation of the allowance for loan losses. The process
to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses involves a high degree
of management judgement.  Such judgement is based, in part, on systematic
methods.  These methods, which are generally quantitative measures, are
employed, not so the allowance will be the result of routine mathematical
exercises, but to help ensure that all relevant matters affecting loan
collectability will consistently be identified.  Such methods at June 30, 2000
included a loan-by-loan analysis of all larger commercial loans and commercial
real estate loans which were non-performing or which were being closely
monitored by management for potential problems, and a quantitive analysis of
residential real estate and consumer loans.  Based on these analyses, an
estimation of potential loss exposure was made and an allowance allocated.
The estimation of potential loss exposure reflects declining real estate
values, as evidenced by appraisals and other available information.

During May 1998, the Bank implemented a Loan Review Program whereas an
independent loan review service firm conducted a review of the commercial
loan portfolio.  The review included updates to comments on all criticized
and classified assets over $100,000, all loans delinquent over 30 days and
over $100,000, non accruals over $100,000, new (closed) and renewed loans
over $100,000 as well as the adequacy of the loan loss reserve.

Although management utilized its best judgement in providing for possible
losses, there can be no assurance that the Company will not have to increase
its provision for possible loan losses in the future as a result of increased
loan demand in the Company's primary market areas, future increases in
non-performing assets or otherwise which would adversely affect the Company's
results of operations.

The following table reflects the quality of the Bank's loan portfolio and
the emphasis placed upon the management of credit risk:

It is important to note that the directors, officers and employees of the Bank
are proud of the above data and their efforts in serving its community while
simultaneously working hand-in-hand with state and federal regulators in
structuring its financial position during these times.  Most assuredly all
parties concerned benefit from just such cooperative effort.

NONINTEREST INCOME

The Company receives noninterest income from trust fees, service charges on
deposit accounts and other income comprised of fees earned from a variety of
other services.  Securities gains and losses are another major component of
this category.

Noninterest income, excluding one time gains/(losses), increased $17,280 or 2.1%
and decreased $62,362 or 3.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000
over the same periods in 1999.  This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in
loan department income of $153,211 or 45.9%. Offsetting factors were increases
in trust income of $110,092 or 25.4% and credit card income of $36,860 or 15.8%.

Net security gains/(losses) amounted to $(19,171) and $(43,914) for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $(61,146) and $40,842 for the
same periods in 1999.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES

Noninterest expenses consist of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy
and equipment expenses and miscellaneous expenses.  Management is continually
reviewing expenses to control them and develop more efficient delivery systems
for all Bank services.

A generally flat economy in Maine and in particular in Downeast Maine, has
compelled or should compel banking institutions of our size to manage their
institutions prudently and conservatively.  This we are committed to do.

Noninterest expenses increased $247,362 or 11.2% and $399,755 or 9.5% for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2000 over the same periods in 1999. The
increase was primarily attributable to increased staffing and the expenses
related to upgrading equipment and facilities.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are provided in accordance with the comprehensive income tax
allocation method which recognizes the tax effects of all income and expense
transactions in each year's statement of income, regardless of the year the
transactions are reported for tax purposes.  The tax effects of these timing
differences are reflected in deferred income tax accounts in the consolidated
financial statements.

Deferred income taxes are recognized for income and expense items that are
reported in different years for financial reporting purposes and income tax
purposes using the tax rate applicable for the year of the calculation.

The status of the Bank's income tax expense is as follows:

                                  Tax Expense              Effective Rate
                                2000      1999              2000    1999
Six Months Ended June 30,     $577,000  $776,355            28.4%   31.3%

INTEREST RATE GAP ANALYSIS

Attention should be directed to the interest rate gap analysis as of December
31, 1999 as provided on page 12 in the Bank's 1999 Annual Report. Data as of
June 30, 2000 is essentially identical to that reported in the Annual Report.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders' Equity was as follows for the following periods:

                                   SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
                                  Amount          Book Value
                                                   Per Share

June 30, 2000                   $27,839,777          $48.17
June 30, 1999                   $27,768,491          $48.06
December 31, 1999               $27,642,991          $51.50

The Federal Reserve Board guidelines for a 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 3% must be comprised of Tier 1 capital.  Risk-based
capital ratios are calculated by weighing assets and off-balance sheet
instruments according to their relative credit risks. At June 30, 2000, the
Company had met the minimum capital ratios.  In fact, the Bank's strong capital
position at June 30, 2000 exceeded the minimums established by the Federal
Reserve Board as follows:




                                                    Minimum Regulatory
                                      June 30, 2000    Requirements

Leverage Capital Ratio                    11.6             3.0%
Risk Based Ratio                          20.9             8.0%
Tier I Ratio                              19.6             4.0%

DIVIDENDS

The common stock is not actively traded and therefore, we are not aware of
the price of all trades.  The price is established by determining what a
willing buyer will pay a willing seller.

Cash dividends per share declared on common stock were $.50 for the second
quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively.

STOCK DIVIDENDS

On April 14, 1999, the Board of Directors of Union Bankshares Company
declared a 20% stock dividend payable to stockholders of record on April
23, 1999.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

Liquidity management is the process by which the Bank structures its cash flow
to meet requirements of its customers as well as day to day operating expenses.

Liquidity is provided from both assets and liabilities.  The asset side of the
balance sheet provides liquidity through the regular maturities on our
securities portfolio, as well as the interest received on these assets. In
addition, US Government securities may be readily converted to cash by sale
in the open market.  On the liability side, liquidity comes from deposit
growth and the Bank's accessibility to other sources of borrowed funds.  In
this respect, liquidity is enhanced by a significant amount of core demand and
savings deposits from a broad customer base.

As a part of the Bank's asset and liability management and liquidity needs,
management actively evaluates its funding resource and strategies to reduce
and manage the vulnerability of its operation to changes in interest rates.

When a Company's ability to reprice interest bearing liabilities exceeds its
ability to reprice interest earning assets within shorter time periods,
material and prolonged increases in interest rates generally adversely affect
net interest income, while material and prolonged decreases in interest rates
generally have the opposite effect.

A principal objective of the Company is to reduce and manage the vulnerability
of its operations to changes in interest rates by managing the ratio of
interest rate sensitive assets to interest rate sensitive liabilities within
specified maturities or repricing dates.

As of June 30, 2000, Union Trust Company is liability sensitive.  The Bank
remains liability sensitive between 37 and 60 month horizons.  Bank earnings
may be negatively affected, should interest rates fall.

As of June 30, 2000, the Bank's ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate
sensitive liabilities at the one year horizon was 67%, its one year GAP
(measurement of interest sensitivity of interest earning assets and interest
bearing liabilities at a point in time) was 15% or 85% matched, and $80,367,000
in assets and $119,610,000 in liabilities will be repriceable in one year.

In addition to the "traditional" GAP calculation, the Company analyzes future
net interest income based on budget projections including anticipated business
activity, anticipated changes in interest rates and other variables, which are
adjusted periodically by management to take into account current economic
conditions, the current interest rate environment, and other factors.

The status of the Bank's sources of cash to fund its operation are as follows:

                                                             June 30,
                                                       2000           1999
Net cash from operations                           $   660,328    $      (499)
Net cash used by investing activities              $(7,877,618)   $(4,426,780)
Net cash from (used by) financing activities       $ 8,011,839    $(3,707,447)
Net increase (decrease)                            $   794,549    $(8,134,726)

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Total assets increased $7,814,000 or 3.03% for the first six months of 2000
primarily due to increased loan volume of some $10,502,000 or 8.40% offset by
a decrease in securities of $4,970,000, a decrease in deposits of $5,213,000
and an increase in borrowings of $16,960,000 to fund loan growth in 2000.

The following financial statistics give a general overview and profile of
the Company:

                                         As of June 30,            Increase
                                     2000            1999         (Decrease)

Total Assets                     $265,763,744    $244,105,172    $ 21,658,572
Total Earnings Assets            $238,697,750    $228,290,607    $ 10,407,143

SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

The objective of the securities portfolio is to provide for a stable earnings
base and the investment of excess liquidity.  The securities portfolio
decreased $10,249,180 to $103,133,642 or 38.8% of total assets as of June 30,
2000, as compared to 46.4% at June 30, 1999.  A portion of this decrease is
due to the reclassification of $4,965,343 in Assets AFS - Loans which were
previously held in this section of the balance sheet. These were moved into
the mortgage loan portfolio on July 15, 1999.

The Company has reviewed its investment policy regarding securities.  In
recognition of current economic conditions and the attendant responsibility of
management to consider known liquidity requirements and to provide for capital
planning, securities may be sold as part of prudent asset/liability management.

LOANS

Loan demand continues to show signs of moderate growth during the second
quarter of 2000 and thus the Bank experienced an increase of $23,052,439 or
20.5% at June 30, 2000 versus June 30, 1999.  A portion of this increase is due
to the reclassification of $4,965,343 in Assets AFS - Loans which were
previously held in the investment section of the balance sheet.  These were
moved into the mortgage loan portfolio on July 15, 1999.  There has been a
slight change in the Company's loan mix and as of June 30, 2000, the loan
portfolio remains diversified, posting growth primarily in consumer real
estate loans of $18,361,334 or 48.2% from June 30, 1999 and totaling 40.9% and
33.2% of total loans for June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, respectively.
Commercial real estate loans were 27.2%, loans to individuals for household,
family and other personal expenditures were 16.4%, commercial loans accounted
for 7.0% and 8.5% was invested in municipal loans at June 30, 2000.

It should be pointed out that the Bank has sold and serviced $60,419,403 of real
estate loans and $2,250,835 of commercial mortgages and has over $162,200 of
loans held for sale at June 30, 2000.

The section of management's discussion and analysis entitled "Provision for
Loan Losses" clearly indicates the quality of the loan portfolio at June 30,
2000.

The Bank's loan to deposit ratio was 72.2% and the allowance for loan losses
1.84% of total loans at June 30, 2000.

Management's approach to loan growth is to seek out and work with borrowers
whose financial condition, credit history, and performance would warrant
extensions of credit.

In brief, the Company's loan portfolio is driven by a desire to maintain our
credit standards while meeting the financial needs of qualified borrowers in
the community.

DEPOSITS

Total deposits increased $2,728,934, or 1.5% over the comparable period in
1999, primarily due to competitive interest rates on products offered and an
active calling program.  The proportion of interest bearing funds continues to
place emphasis on the need for properly matching our assets and liabilities to
maintain stable net interest margins.

The Company has continued its overall asset and liability management
strategy which is to maintain flexibility in its interest sensitivity gap in
order to take advantage of both short term and long term changes in market
rates while minimizing the risk of adverse effects on operations.

The Bank is not reliant on volatile liabilities as evidenced by such
comprising only 6.44% of its deposit base.

BORROWINGS AND SWEEP REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Total advances from the Federal Home Bank increased $14,960,000 or 73.1% over
the comparable period in 1999, primarily to fund new loan originations for 2000.

Sweep repurchase agreements totaling $10,015,393 as of June 30, 2000 versus
$6,512,544 as of June 30, 1999 increased $4,225,586 or 56.1%.  The increase
was primarily due to competitive rates and account features.

YEAR 2000 READINESS

As of December 31, 1999, the Bank experienced no significant operational or
financial impact from the year 2000 transition.  Union Trust, recognizing the
importance of this issue, started working on this problem several years ago.
The Company adopted a plan of action back in 1997 to minimize the risks to the
Company's operations and financial condition posed by the Year 2000 event.
The plan included the formation of a Technology Steering Committee to assess,
monitor and review vendor compliance and certification.  The committee's charter
also called for it to identify clearly all systems and equipment used in the
day to day operations of the Company that might be affected and to oversee the
remediation of any date recognition problems thus identified.

During 1999 and 1998, guided by the stringent requirements of federal and state
banking regulators and a comprehensive plan of action developed by the
Technology Steering Committee, the Company completed the assessment phase,
identified mission critical systems, tested all those internal systems and
worked on contingency plans. It has also taken steps to verify that all third
party vendors, suppliers and other related business parties are adequately
prepared for the Year 2000.  Primarily for operational reasons, Union Trust
replaced its mainframe operating system in 1995.  As of December 31, 1999,
Union Trust met the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council's
(FFIEC) required time frames for compliance, and the Company's efforts have
been examined by the bank regulators.  The Company also embarked upon an
awareness program to educate its employees and customers regarding Year 2000
issues.  During 1998, the Company participated in several seminars to educate
the public about this issue. The Company also hosted discussion groups with
area professionals to review potential areas of concern.  During 1999, the Bank
joined an inter bank Y2K group to address the issues of the Year 2000 event,
in particular, addressing cash reserves, security and customer communication
and public seminars.

The Company has estimated that the total costs directly relating to fixing
Year 2000 issues, such as hardware purchases, software modification and
system testing, will not have a material effect on the performance of the
Company.  The Company estimates that the total costs for evaluation,
remediation and testing have amounted to as much as $110,000, of which
$85,000 and $25,000 was expensed in 1999 and 1998, respectively.  In
addition, it is estimated that approximately 3,500 employee-hours were
utilized during the period for related activities, which are not reflected
in the above figures.

Management believes the Company has and will continue to adequately
address the Year 2000 event and that testing will be conducted throughout
the organization during year 2000 to minimize any potential adverse
effects on the Company and its customers.
