Dear fellow shareholders:

We are pleased to provide you with the Bar Harbor Bankshares 
Summary Annual Report for 2010. We are most pleased to  
report that net income available to common shareholders for 
2010 was a record $10 million, up 7.4% from 2009.

Bowl for Kids’ Sake 
March 2010

Teach Children to Save
April 2010

When a concerned parent cares enough 
to connect with an organization that 
embraces the power of friendship…when a 
child is matched with an ideal mentor…the 
result is beyond measure—a self-confident 
child, involved and engaged in school, with 
a caring friend cheering from the sidelines. 
That’s the power of Big Brothers Big Sisters. 
BHB has supported Bowl for Kids’ Sake 
for many years, and 12 Bank teams raised 
over $5,000 in 2010. 

Every April, over 24,000 bankers bring 
financial lessons to classrooms across the 
country. In 2010, BHB employees reached 
over 250 students at eight local schools.  
A few days after BHB’s Penny Carter and 
Leita Zeugner visited a 4th grade class, a 
grateful mom called the teacher to say what 
an impact it had on her son. “He came 
home and the first thing he said was that 
he wanted to open a savings account.”

Landings were over 93 million pounds with a value of 

over $308 million compared to over 81 million pounds 

and a value of $237 million for 2009. As these statis-

Harding Golf Tournament 
May 2010

“Food and Fuel for our Neighbors on Mount Desert Island” was the 
fundraising objective for our 17th annual David R. Harding Memorial Golf 
Tournament at Kebo Valley. Tourney proceeds of $6,000 were evenly 
distributed among the Bar Harbor Food Pantry, the Westside Food 
Pantry, and the MDI Community Campfire Coalition.

During 2010, the Company’s assets 

grew by $45.6 million, or 4.2%, to  

$1.1 billion. In 2010, many banks 

were unable to demonstrate growth 

and we are pleased to have done  

so in ways that are beneficial to the  

customers and communities we 

serve. In 2009’s Summary Annual 

Report, we noted the national per-

ception that “banks are unwilling to 

lend.” We are delighted to present 

our bank’s experience as counter to 

that assertion. During 2008 and 

2009, we began to observe that our 

competitive landscape was changing  

and that the market was becoming 

increasingly receptive to an experi-

enced and responsive local commu-

nity bank as an alternative source to 

the much larger regional and national 

banks for business lending. We had 

been building our business develop-

ment and credit administration teams 

around conservative and consistent 

credit standards for several years 

and we were well-prepared to take 

advantage of these additional oppor-

tunities. Despite the specter of dimin-

ished overall market demand, we 

made a conscious strategic decision 

to deploy our business banking team 

at increased strength to provide what

Relay for Life 
June 2010

Bar Harbor Bankshares’ “Banking on a Cure” team first participated in 
Relay in 2001, when a group of four raised $1,460. Since then, BHB’s team 
has grown to around 50 employees, friends, and family members who have 
raised over $78,000 to help create a world with less cancer and more birth-
days. BHB’s “Banking on a Cure” fundraising begins as soon as the current 
year’s Relay ends. Our team hosts a Spud-tacular Baked Potato Supper, a 
Cinco de Mayo lunch, a dance, and several pancake breakfasts to bring in 
funds for the cause. 

Relay for Life, the American Cancer Society’s signature activity, raises funds 
to fight cancer and increase awareness of prevention and treatment options. 
Teams camp out overnight and take turns walking around the track during 
an 18-hour period. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track 
at all times during the event. While doing their part to help find a cure, partici-
pants celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer and remember 
loved ones lost to the disease. 

“Banking on a Cure” is one of the top fundraising teams in Hancock County, 
collecting over $15,000 in 2009 and nearly $14,000 in 2010, more than  
10% of the overall local event proceeds. Our employees have also been 
involved in the Daffodil Days fundraiser for ACS since it began over 25 years 
ago. The American Cancer Society honored BHB with an Outstanding 
Income Develop ment Award in 2007 in recognition of the Bank’s longstand-
ing partnership in the fight against cancer.

loans into lower rates as well as to 

accelerated cash flows from the 

company’s mortgage-backed securi-

ties portfolio. Non-interest expenses 

were up only 1.3% compared to 

2009, and were a lesser factor in this 

ratio for 2010.

As part of our strategic plan, we 

identified the importance of improv-

ing the overall banking experience of 

our existing customers. One aspect 

of this commitment is to upgrade 

branch facilities in our largest and 

busiest locations. In 2010, we reno-

vated our Blue Hill and Southwest 

Harbor branches and launched a 

project to replace our Ellsworth 

branch. These three offices are our 

largest branches aside from our Bar 

Harbor headquarters and represent 

valuable franchise assets with growth 

potential. Another aspect of this 

commitment was to recognize the 

popular demand of electronic bank-

ing products. In 2010, we completed 

deployment of a new online bill- 

payment system, E-statements and 

E-Choice, our interest-bearing elec-

tronic checking account.

YMCA Half Marathon 
September 2010

“Gatorade!” “Water!” As runners pass the 5-mile mark, they are greeted 
with hydration and cheers from an enthusiastic team of BHB volunteers. 
One of the most scenic race courses in the world, the Half Marathon winds 
through Acadia National Park and ends up back in town at the Bar Harbor 
ballfield. With a limited field of only 400 runners, there is always a full roster 
for this popular event that draws participants from near and far. As title 
sponsor, BHB has supported this timeless YMCA fundraiser and economy 
booster since the 1980’s.

Walk for Wishes
September 2010

When the Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes for children with life-
threatening medical conditions, the average cost is $6,000. Many children 
from Maine have benefited, including our own Penny Brady’s step-daughter, 
Becky, who was present at the 2010 Walk. Becky’s wish of going on a 
cruise was granted back in 2002 when she was 10 years old and battling  
a brain tumor. Now she is 19, and majoring in elementary education at 
Husson University. Ron Hamilton, BHB employee, is a volunteer Wish 
Granter and organizes our local Walk, which raised nearly $9,000 in 2010.

2010 Financial Overview

BUSINESS STRATEGY

As a diversified financial services provider, Bar Harbor 
Bankshares pursues a strategy of achieving long-term 
sustainable growth, profitability, and shareholder value, 
without sacrificing its soundness. The Company works 
toward achieving this goal by focusing on increasing its 
loan and deposit market share in the coastal communities 
of Maine. The Company believes one of its more unique 
strengths is an understanding of the financial needs of 
coastal communities and the businesses vital to Maine’s 
coastal economy, namely: tourism, hospitality, retail estab-
lishments, restaurants, seasonal lodging and campgrounds, 
fishing, lobstering, boat building, and marine services.

Operating under a community banking philosophy, the 
Company’s key strategic focus is vigorous financial stew-
ardship, deploying investor capital safely yet efficiently for 
the best possible returns. The Company strives to pro-
vide unmatched service to its customers, while maintain-
ing strong asset quality and a focus toward improving 
operating efficiencies. In managing its earning asset port-
folios, the Company seeks to utilize funding and capital 
resources within well-defined credit, investment, interest-
rate and liquidity guidelines. In managing its balance 
sheet the Company seeks to preserve the sensitivity of 
net interest income to changes in interest rates, and to 
enhance profitability through strategies that promise suffi-
cient reward for understood and controlled risk. The 
Company is deliberate in its efforts to maintain adequate 
liquidity under prevailing and expected conditions, and 
strives to maintain a balanced and appropriate mix of 
loans, securities, core deposits, and borrowed funds.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Assets: The Company’s total assets increased $45.6 mil-
lion or 4.2% during 2010, ending the year at $1.1 billion. 
This increase was principally attributed to the growth of 
the Bank’s commercial and consumer loan portfolios.

16

12

Loans: Consumer loans comprised 41.4% of the Bank’s 
total loan portfolio at December 31, 2010 and principally 
consisted of residential real estate mortgage loans and 
home equity loans. The Bank also serves the small 

8

business market throughout downeast and midcoast 
Maine. It offers business loans to individuals, partner-
ships, corporations, and other business entities for capital 
construction, real estate purchases, working capital, real 
estate development, and a broad range of other business 
purposes. At December 31, 2010, commercial business 
loans represented 56.7% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio.

Total loans ended the year at $700.7 million, representing 
an increase of $31.2 million, or 4.7%, compared with 
8,000
December 31, 2009. Loan growth was led by commercial 
loans, which ended the year at $397.6 million, represent-
6,000
ing an increase of $28.3 million or 7.7% compared with 
year-end 2009. Commercial loan growth has been  
4,000
generally challenged by a weak economy, declining loan 
demand and vigorous competition for quality loans. Bank 
2,000
management attributes the overall growth in commercial 
loans to an effective business banking team, deep local 
market knowledge, sustained new business development 
efforts, and a resilient local economy that is faring better 
than the nation as a whole.

respect to further real estate market declines in the com-
munities served by the Bank, and to a lesser extent the 
expiration of the first-time home buyers tax credit. Resi-
dential mortgage loan refinancing activity continued at a 
brisk pace in 2010, which was principally attributed to 
historically low interest rates.

Credit Quality: At December 31, 2010, the Bank’s total 
non-performing loans amounted to $13.7 million, up from 
$9.2 million at December 31, 2009. One commercial real 
estate development loan to a local, non-profit housing 
authority in support of an affordable housing project 
accounted for $5.2 million, or 38.0%, of total year-end 
2010 non-performing loans and more than accounted for 
the year-over-year increase.

The Bank’s 2010 loan loss experience exceeded historical 
norms. Total net loan charge-offs amounted to $1.6 million 
in 2010, up from $839 thousand in 2009. Total 2010 net 
loan charge-offs expressed as a percentage of average 
loans outstanding amounted to 0.24%, up from 0.13%  
in 2009.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Bank recorded 
a provision for loan losses (the “provision”) of $2.3 million, 
300
representing a decline of $880 thousand or 27.4%  
compared with 2009. Despite the year-over-year decline 
in the provision, the amounts recorded during 2010 were 
200
higher than historical experience, largely reflecting a con-
tinuance in the overall level of credit deterioration, and 
100
elevated levels of net loan charge-offs and non-perform-
ing loans. These factors were partially mitigated by stabi-
lizing economic conditions and real estate values, and 
slowing loan portfolio growth.

The Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses (the 
10,000
“allowance”) which is available to absorb probable losses 
on loans. The allowance is maintained at a level that, in 
$2.61
management’s judgment, is appropriate for the amount of 
risk inherent in the current loan portfolio and adequate to 
provide for estimated probable losses. At December 31, 
2010, the allowance stood at $8.5 million, representing 
an increase of $686 thousand or 8.8% compared with 
December 31, 2009. The allowance expressed as a per-
centage of total loans stood at 1.21% at year end, up 
from 1.17% at December 31, 2009. The increase in the 
allowance principally reflected pockets of credit deteriora-
tion in the Bank’s loan portfolio, including elevated levels 
of non-performing and potential problem loans.

Investment Securities: During 2010 the securities portfolio 
continued to serve as a key source of earning assets and 
35,000
liquidity for the Bank. Total securities ended the year at 
30,000
$357.9 million, representing an increase of $10.9 million, 
25,000
or 3.1%, compared with December 31, 2009. Company 
20,000
management has been cautious about leveraging the 
securities portfolio in consideration of historically low 
15,000
market yields and the corresponding interest rate risk 
10,000
should interest rates begin to rise. While this action inhib-
ited the growth of the Bank’s net interest income in the 
near-term, Company management believes the long-term 
risks outweigh the short-term rewards. Securities purchased 
Non-Interest Income

during 2010 principally consisted of mortgage-backed 
securities issued and guaranteed by U.S. Govern ment 
agencies and sponsored-enterprises.

shareholders’ equity amounted to 10.07% in 2010, com-
pared with 11.65% in 2009.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income is the principal 
25,000
component of the Company’s income stream and repre-
sents the difference or spread between interest generated 
20,000
from earning assets and the interest expense paid on 
deposits and borrowed funds. Fluctuations in market inter-
15,000
est rates, as well as volume and mix changes in earning 
assets and interest bearing liabilities, can materially 
10,000
impact net interest income.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, net interest 
income on a tax-equivalent basis amounted to $33.3 mil-
lion, representing a decline of $1.5 million, or 4.2%, com-
pared with 2009. The decline in net interest income was 
principally attributed to the Bank’s tax-equivalent net 
interest margin, which declined 22 basis points to 3.18%,  
offset in part by average earning asset growth of $25.9 
million or 2.5%. The decline in the net interest margin  
was largely attributed to earning asset yields, which 
declined 22 basis points more than the cost of interest 
bearing liabilities.

Factors contributing to the 2010 net interest margin 
12,000
decline included the ongoing competitive re-pricing of 
certain commercial loans and the origination and acceler-
10,000
ated refinancing of residential mortgage loans during a 
period of historically low interest rates. The replacement 
$2.61
of accelerated cash flows from the Bank’s mortgage-
backed securities portfolio also contributed heavily to  
the net interest margin decline. In addition, as previously 
reported, during 2010 the Bank continued protecting 
future earnings from interest rate risk by extending a por-
tion of its low cost, short-term, wholesale funding maturi-
ties. While this strategy pressured the net interest margin 
in the near-term, the Bank’s balance sheet has been 
Diluted Earnings
positioned such that future levels of net interest income 
per Share
are largely insulated from rising interest rates.

Non-interest Income: In addition to net interest income, 
non-interest income is a significant source of revenue for 
the Company and an important factor in its results of 
operations. Non-interest income is principally derived 
from financial services including trust and investment 
management activities, as well as service charges on 
deposit accounts, mortgage banking and servicing 
activities fees, credit and debit card service charges  
and processing fees, net securities gains, and a variety  
of other product and service fees.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, total non-interest 
income amounted to $7.5 million, representing an increase 
of $1.4 million or 23.8%, compared with 2009.

FDIC deposit insurance assessments amounted to $1.1 
million in 2010, representing a decline of $354 thousand, 
or 24.9%, compared with the same period in 2009. This  
decline was principally attributed to a $495 thousand 
special FDIC assessment recorded in the second quarter 
of 2009, partially offset by increased deposit insurance 
premiums for all FDIC insured banks as a result of the 
FDIC’s plan to reestablish the Deposit Insurance Fund to 
levels required by the Federal Deposit Reform Act of 2005.

Efficiency Ratio

Efficiency Ratio: The Company’s efficiency ratio, or non-
interest operating expenses divided by the sum of tax-
equivalent net interest income and non-interest income 
other than net securities gains and other-than-temporary 
impairments, measures the relationship of operating 
expenses to revenues. Low efficiency ratios are typically 
a key factor for high performing financial institutions. For 
the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company’s effi-
ciency ratio amounted to 55.5%, which compared favor-
ably to peer and industry averages.

Income Taxes: For the year ended December 31, 2010, 
total income taxes amounted to $4.1 million, representing 
an increase of $140 thousand, or 3.5%, compared with 
2009. The Company’s effective tax rate amounted to 
27.9% in 2010, compared with 27.8% in 2009. Fluctu a tions 
in the Company’s effective tax rate are generally attrib-
uted to increases in the level of non-taxable income in 
relation to taxable income.

Trust and other financial services fees amounted to $3.0 
million in 2010, representing an increase of $540 thou-
sand, or 22.1%, compared with 2009. Reflecting addi-
tional new business and some recovery in the equity 
markets, at December 31, 2010 assets under manage-
ment stood at $314.2 million, up $44.1 million or 16.3% 
compared with year-end 2009. 
Diluted Earnings
per Share

Total securities gains, net of other-than-temporary impair-
ment losses, amounted to $1.2 million in 2010, compared 
with $67 thousand in 2009. Net 2010 securities gains 
were comprised of realized gains on the sale of securities 
$7,458
amounting to $2.1 million, offset in part by other-than-
temporary impairment losses of $898 thousand on certain 
available-for-sale, private label, residential mortgage-
backed securities.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, credit and debit 
card service charges and fees amounted to $1.2 million, 
up $156 thousand or 15.5% compared with 2009. This 
increase was principally attributed to continued growth  
of the Bank’s retail deposit base, higher levels of mer-
chant credit card processing volumes, and continued 
success with a program that offers rewards for certain 
debit card transactions.

Net Interest Income
($ in thousands)

The foregoing increases in 2010 non-interest income 
were partially offset by a $375 thousand, or 76.5%, 
decline in income from mortgage banking activities. 
During 2010 substantially all residential mortgage loan 
originations were held in the Bank’s loan portfolio, 
whereas in 2009 a large portion of residential mortgage 
loan originations were sold into the secondary market 
with customer servicing retained.

Non-interest Expense: For the year ended December 31, 
2010, total non-interest expense amounted to $22.0 mil-
lion, representing an increase of $292 thousand, or 1.3%, 
compared with 2009. The increase in non-interest expense 
was principally attributed to salaries and employee bene-
fits, which were up $599 thousand or 5.2% compared 
with 2009. The increase in salaries and employee benefits 
was principally attributed to increases in employee health 
insurance premiums, normal increases in base salaries, 
as well as changes in staffing levels and mix. The forego-
ing increases were partially offset by $402 thousand of 
employee health insurance credits attained during 2010, 
based on favorable claims experience.
