BANKNORTH REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 1995 RESULTS.


BURLINGTON, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- April 17, 1995 -- Banknorth Group, Inc. (NASDAQ - BKNG) today announced earnings results for the first quarter of 1995. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1995, was $5.2 million, or $.77 per share, compared to $2.4 million, or $.36 per share, for the first quarter of 1994, an increase of $2.8 million, or 116.4%. The annualized net returns on average assets and on average shareholders' equity for the first quarter of 1995 were 1.15% and 15.46%, respectively. Income before cumulative effect of accounting changes for the three months ended March 31, 1995, was $5.2 million compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1994. Making the announcement was William H. Chadwick, president and chief executive officer.

Net interest income, $21.2 million in the first quarter of 1995, increased $4.1 million or 24.3%, over the first quarter of 1994. Other income, $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995, was up $446 thousand, or 9.7%, over the first quarter of 1994. The increase in other income for the first quarter of 1995 resulted primarily from having experienced net securities losses of $1.1 million in the first quarter of 1994.

Total operating expenses, at $17.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995, were up $205 thousand, or 1.2%, from the level experienced in the first quarter of 1994. OREO and foreclosure expenses were $277 thousand for the first quarter of 1995, a reduction of $598 thousand, or 68.3%, from the 1994 first quarter level.

On October 14, 1994, Banknorth consummated its acquisition of North American Bank Corporation, and its sole subsidiary, Farmington National Bank, Farmington, New Hampshire. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.

"Banknorth enjoyed a strong net interest margin in the first quarter," reported Chadwick. "While we expect the net interest margin to decline somewhat during 1995 as deposit rates reprice upwards, we will attempt to offset sucha decline with continued expense control efforts," he said.

Total assets as of March 31, 1995, were $1.9 billion, compared to $1.7 billion at March 31, 1994, an increase of 6.2%. 6 Banknorth Group, Inc., the largest banking company in Vermont, is a multi-bank holding company headquartered in Burlington, VT. The Company offers a full range of financial services through it's six subsidiary banks and mortgage company with offices throughout Northern New England.
