     Forward-Looking Statements

     This report contains statements that may be considered forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements
can be identified by the use of the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate,"
"intend," "estimate," "assume," "will," "should," and other expressions which
predict or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate to
historical matters. Forward-looking statements should not be relied on, because
they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of
which are beyond the control of Camden and Union Bankshares. These risks,
uncertainties and other factors may cause the actual results, performance or
achievements of Camden and Union Bankshares to be materially different from the
anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by
the forward-looking statements.

     Some of the factors that might cause these differences include the
following: (i) failure of the parties to satisfy the closing conditions in the
Merger Agreement in a timely manner or at all; (ii) failure of the shareholders
of Union Bankshares to approve the Merger Agreement; (iii) failure to obtain
governmental approvals of the Merger, or imposition of adverse regulatory
conditions in connection with such approvals; (iv) disruptions in the businesses
of the parties as a result of the pendency of the Merger; (v) integration costs
following the merger, (vi) changes in general, national or regional economic
conditions; (vii) changes in loan default and charge-off rates; (viii)
reductions in deposit levels necessitating increased borrowing to fund loans and
investments; (ix) changes in interest rates; (x) changes in laws and
regulations; (xi) changes in the size and nature of the Camden's competition and
(xii) changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements.
Other factors could also cause these differences. For more information about
these factors please see Camden's and Union Bankshares' filings with the SEC,
including their Annual Report on Form 10-K on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All of these factors should be carefully reviewed,
and readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements were based on information, plans and estimates
at the date of this report, and the Company does not promise to update any
forward-looking statements to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or
factors, new information, future events or other changes.
