Much of this growth came from existing cus- tomers who are well-capitalized and using the down- turn to increase market share through their own organic expansion or by consolidating smaller opera- tors. We have developed the ability to service the needs of these highly skilled borrowers, many of whom recognize the attractiveness of experienced We are delighted to provide this performance for our share- holders despite difficult economic conditions which have, especially over the past four years, offered up unusually persistent challenges to bankers across the nation. We believe that our Company’s geographic location pro- vides some distinct advantages to us in delivering the results we have been able to achieve. To that end, we dedicate our 2011 Summary Annual Report to “A Great Place,” the coast of Maine. A great place to live and local community banks as a funding alternative When someone thinks of Maine, three things typically to large regional banks. come to mind—vacations, lobsters, and blueberries. 1 a great place to Work. Those of us fortunate enough to live and work here also led by creative entrepreneurs, seasoned executives, or think about our small, safe communities, excellent school one fisherman on a boat—have typically been resilient in systems, traffic-free commutes, and the beauty of our hard times. bold coastline. We appreciate the ample opportunities for outdoor recreation as much as our visitors do. High- quality healthcare resources are readily available, with excellent local hospitals nearby. A diligent non-profit sec- tor works relentlessly to improve the social and cultural aspects of our hometowns. A vibrant scientific commu- nity with world-class genetic research facilities, a unique local college in our headquarters town of Bar Harbor, and an outstanding university system provide intellectual capital and year-round stability to our communities. We can’t imagine a better place to call home. A great place to do business Our local economy has historically been resistant to the drastic economic swings experienced elsewhere in the nation. Thanks to that fact, our local businesses—whether All of our branches are located within a half mile of salt water so it's not surprising that Coastal Maine’s three most unique industries—tourism, lobster fishing and wild blueberry production—are well-represented among our customer base. We are pleased to report that all three sectors had a good year in 2011. A major economic factor since the late 1800’s, tourism is the leading con- tributor to the coastal economy today. In 2011, despite a week devoted to hosting Hurricane Irene, hoteliers, mer- chants and restaurant operators enjoyed another very strong season. Our state’s lobster fishing fleet landed over 100 million pounds of lobster in 2011, the first time in history that threshold was breached, and the Maine Department of Marine Resources has indicated that strong landings are likely for the next several years. Wild blueberry production, coastal Maine’s most significant In 2011, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust was recognized as one of the “Best Places to Work in Maine” based upon feedback from our employees, who said they like the work they do, have a clear understanding of their job role, feel performance expectations are realistic, and would recommend the Bank to others. We consider this award an acknowledgment of the efforts of our entire team to build a better Company together. 2 Bar Harbor Bankshares a great place to Live. 3 2011 Summary Annual Report agricultural crop, enjoyed another profitable year as strong product prices and robust demand overcame slightly decreased production. Wild blueberries’ ranking as highest in antioxidant capacity per serving compared with more than 20 other fruits has rewarded this industry with worldwide opportunities for growth and innovation. We recognize and appreciate that the ongoing success of our customers has contributed significantly to BHB’s results for 2011. A great place to visit Thanks to the appeal of our quaint towns and natural beauty, coastal Maine truly is a great place to visit. We have a lot of sparkling days here, all year round. Our villages boast some of the most unique shopping and dining opportunities anywhere. Maine’s granite-lined coast is ideal for paddling, sailing, nature watching, or just relaxing. Acadia National Park, located on Mount Desert Island, where we maintain our headquarters, continues to draw more than two million visitors each year. With 120 miles of hiking trails and 45 miles of car- free gravel carriage roads for biking, horseback riding, or walking, Acadia offers something for everyone. About 120 cruise ships visit Bar Harbor each year, bringing us guests from around the world. In addition to shopping and outdoor activities, the arts play an important role in our coastal towns, with museums, galleries, concerts, and live theater adding cultural richness to the visitor experience. It’s easy to see why Maine is called Vacationland. a great place to Visit. 44 Bar Harbor Bankshares A great place to bank Our customers in coastal Maine expect what every bank’s customers expect—friendliness, competence and consis- tency…knowing what to do and doing it right the first time with a genuine smile. We pay particular attention to these expectations as we realize that customers have a choice among banks, and in our markets most are community banks like ourselves. We believe our principal advantage is a reputation for superior service after the sale. To ensure that we sustain that edge, we have com- mitted significant time and resources to developing high standards and investing in staff development. In addition to service excellence, bank customers expect outstanding products. As increasing numbers of house- holds rely upon online tools as a primary vehicle for finan- cial management, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust has focused on providing products to meet that demand. We offer a full suite of electronic tools including online bill pay from a market-leading provider, e-statements and online history, and mobile banking delivered through a wide array of smart phones. BHB also offers customers an all-electronic checking account (“E-Choice”) which rewards customers who meet the "online qualifiers" with an exceptional interest rate on their deposit balances. For our business customers, we offer “remote deposit capture,” which transmits non-cash deposits through a computer-to- computer communication process. Since this technology eliminates the need to be physically near a BHB branch, it has extended the reach of our excellent business bank- ing team to new and existing customers who maintain business locations throughout the state. 5 2011 Summary Annual Report a great place to Bank. While both service and product are defining factors in the customer experience, physical facilities are also critically important. With that in mind, during 2011, we made major progress on improvements to our three Ellsworth locations, which include our busiest branch, our Operations Center, and our Trust & Financial Services Center. With over 100 employee work stations, these locations host about half of our work force. We are putting the finishing touches on a new building to replace our outdated Ellsworth branch, and we have incorporated features in all three locations to enhance the safety, comfort and convenience of our customers and employees while improving energy effi- ciency and reducing ongoing maintenance challenges. A great place to work Technological innovation, process simplification and a consistent bias toward doing more with less has helped us achieve an efficiency ratio superior to national and regional peer averages for banks of our size and charac- ter. In 2011, we improved our efficiency ratio to 55.0%, continuing a positive trend we began several years ago. Our number of FTE (full-time-equivalent) team members numbered 168 for 2011 compared to 186 in 2002. In other words, we have 18 fewer employees now than we did nine years ago. In the interval, we have added two branches, extended our geographic reach, and absorbed consider- able new regulatory burdens, while doubling the size of our balance sheet. To ensure that we stay sharp, we have experimented with LEAN process engineering, a training and development methodology which engages staff members and helps them deploy products and procedures that minimize bureaucracy and bring genuine value to 6 Bar Harbor Bankshares customers. Given our early success, we are increasingly interested in using LEAN as a tool to manage processes going forward. While the assumption may be that doing more with less might decrease the satisfaction of our team members, we are honored to report evidence to the contrary. In 2011, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust was selected as one of 28 “Best Places to Work in Maine” in the under-250-employees category. The selection was based upon candid feed- back from our employees regarding their job satisfaction and overall work environment. BHB employees gave the highest scores in “role satisfaction,” “work environment,” and “overall engagement,” saying they like the work they do and feel they are able to maintain a reasonable bal- ance between work life and personal life. They reported that they have a clear understanding of their job role, feel performance expectations are realistic, and expressed a willingness to give extra effort to help the Bank succeed. Perhaps most important, our employees would recom- mend the Bank as a provider of financial services and as a great employer. We consider this award an acknowl- edgment of the efforts of our entire team to build a better Company together. During 2011, we were privileged to recognize the unique contributions of several seasoned team members with promotions to positions of increased responsibility. Michael Bonsey, Gregory Dalton and Stephen Leackfeldt were promoted to Executive Vice President while Cheryl Mullen significantly to the success of BHB over the past decade as we sought to raise standards of performance through- out the Company. With their promotions, the technical, managerial or geographic scope of duties of each has been expanded to match the challenges BHB faces in continuing to provide exceptional service to our custom- ers and strong earnings to our shareholders. In addition to the four named above, 16 other team members, repre- senting virtually every function of the Company, won management-level promotions in 2011. We are grateful to have so many dedicated and talented team members to was promoted to Senior Vice President. All have contributed represent us. a great place to Invest. 7 2011 Summary Annual Report a great place to Prosper. Our local economy has historically been resistant to the drastic economic swings experienced elsewhere in the nation. Thanks to that fact, our local businesses—whether led by creative entrepreneurs, seasoned executives, or one fisherman on a boat—have typically been resilient in hard times. A great place to invest We know that the strength of our balance sheet is of par- amount interest to both investors and customers and we are pleased to report that we ended 2011 with strong capital ratios, including a Total Risk-based capital ratio of 16.06%, significantly above regulatory standards for the designation of “well-capitalized.” This capital permits us to consider such opportunities as increased business and consumer lending, purchases of existing loan por t- folios, franchise expansion through the building of new branches or the acquisition of existing branches from other banks, and other strategic initiatives. We are also conscious of giving our shareholders a com- petitive return. During 2011, we raised our dividend three times and have done so again during the first quarter In closing, we again salute our home, the coast of Maine— a great place to work, to live, to visit and to do business. We hope you’ll agree that it’s also a great place to bank… a great place to invest…a great place to prosper. On behalf of all Bar Harbor Bankshares team members, we extend our thanks for your confidence and loyalty. Joseph M. Murphy President & CEO of 2012. The decision to increase dividends demonstrates our confidence that our balance sheet is strong and that Peter Dodge Chairman our current level of earnings is sustainable. 8 Bar Harbor Bankshares 5-Year Selected Financial Data The following table sets forth selected financial data for the last five years.

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, wild blueberry production, boat build- ing, and marine services. 0.35 0.40 0.20 0.25 0.30 0.15 800 0.10 0.05 0.00 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 provide unmatched service to its customers, while main- taining 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 sufficient 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. 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 0 FINANCIAL CONDITION Assets: The Company’s total assets increased $49.5 million, or 4.4%, during 2011, ending the year at $1.17 bil- lion. The increase in total assets was led by loan growth and an increase in the Bank’s securities portfolio. 16 12 Loans: Consumer loans, which principally consisted of residential real estate mortgage loans and home equity loans, comprised 43.1% of the Bank’s total loan portfolio at December 31, 2011.

The Bank’s residential mortgage loan portfolio grew $8.4 million, or 3.6%, in 2011, despite 2,500 elevated levels of refinancing activity and a generally 2,000 depressed real estate market. Other consumer loans 1,500 were up $18.5 million in 2011, which was principally attributed to the purchase of a Maine-based, seasoned 1,000 portfolio of prime consumer loans in the first quarter of the year. Reflecting diminished business loan demand in the communities served by the Bank, commercial loan growth slowed in 2011 to $7.0 million, or 1.8%, following a $28.3 million, or 7.7%, increase in 2010. Commercial loan growth has been generally challenged by economic uncertainty, a weak economy and vigorous competition 12,000 for quality loans. Bank management attributes the contin- ued growth of its commercial loan portfolio to an effective 10,000 $2.85 business banking team, deep local market knowledge, 8,000 sustained new business development efforts, and a resil- ient local economy that has been faring better than the 6,000 nation as a whole.

One com- mercial real estate development loan to a local non-profit housing authority in support of an affordable housing project accounted for $2.8 million of total non-performing loans, down from $5.2 million at December 31, 2010. During 2011, the Bank charged off $1.8 million of this loan.

The provisions recorded in 2011 and 2010 were higher than historical experience, largely reflecting elevated levels of non-performing and potential problem loans, and elevated levels of net loan charge- offs. These factors were partially mitigated by stabilizing economic conditions and real estate values, and slowing loan portfolio growth. 100 200 300 400 500 100 200 80 7 0 0 2 8 0 0 2 9 0 0 2 60 0 1 0 2 1 1 0 2 0 7 0 0 2 8 0 0 2 9 0 0 2 0 1 0 2 1 1 0 2 0 40 Deposits ($ in millions) Securities ($ in millions) The Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses (the “allowance”) which is available to absorb probable losses on loans.

The overall objectives of the Bank’s strategy for the securities portfolio include maintaining appropriate 40,000 liquidity reserves, diversifying earning assets, managing $6,792 35,000 interest rate risk, leveraging the Bank’s strong capital 30,000 position, and generating acceptable levels of net interest income. The securities portfolio is comprised of mortgage- 25,000 backed securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, 20,000 U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises, and other non- 15,000 agency, private-label issuers.

The Bank’s low cost NOW accounts and demand deposits posted meaningful increases in 2011, up $16.5 million and $2.3 million, or 19.9% and 3.8%, respectively. Company management largely attributes the increase in demand deposits to a strong tourism season in the local commu- nities served by the Bank, combined with new customer relationships. Time certificates of deposit were up less than 1% in 2011 as the Bank lowered its level of time deposits obtained from the national markets. Savings and money market accounts declined $5.0 million, or 2.4%, in 2011, which was in part attributed to a $5.5 mil- lion decline in money market accounts offered to clients of Trust Services, reflecting a reallocation of cash within certain managed asset portfolios in the normal course of business. Management also attributes the decline to historically low interest rates and competitive pricing considerations.

Under the capital adequacy guidelines administered by the Bank’s principal regulators, “well-capitalized” institutions are those with Tier I Leverage, Tier I Risk-based, and Total Risk- based ratios of at least 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively. At December 31, 2011, the Company’s Tier I Leverage, Tier I Risk-based, and Total Risk-based capital ratios were 9.32%, 14.29% and 16.06%, respectively. At December 31, 2011, the Company’s tangible common equity ratio stood at 9.89%, up from 9.01% at December 31, 2010.

The Company’s 2011 dividend payout ratio amounted to 38.3%, compared with 39.4% in 2010. The total regular cash dividends paid in 2011 amounted to $1.095 per share of common stock, compared with $1.045 per share in 2010, representing an increase of $0.05 per share, or 4.8%. The Company’s Board of Directors also declared a first quarter 2012 regular cash dividend of $0.285 per share of common stock, representing an increase of $0.015, or 5.6%, compared with the first quarter of 2011.

The Company’s 2011 earnings performance was highlighted by a $2.7 million, or 8.5%, increase in net interest income, which was driven by an improved net interest margin and continued earning asset growth. 2011 Summary Annual Report 1,400 1,200 1,000 800 600 400 200 0 3,500 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1,000 2.0 500 0 1.5 1.0 12,000 0.5 10,000 8,000 0 6,000 4,000 500 2,000 400 0 300 200 2.0 1.5 1.0

Non-interest income is principally derived from financial services including trust, investment man- agement and brokerage activities, as well as service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage banking and servicing fees, credit and debit card processing fees, net securities gains, and a variety of other product and service fees. For the year ended December 31, 2011, total non-interest income amounted to $6.8 million, down $666 thousand, or 8.9%, compared with 2010. The decline in 2011 non- interest income was entirely attributed to a $759 thousand decline in securities gains, net of other-than-temporary 80 $23,281 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.

Low efficiency ratios are typically a key factor for high-performing financial institutions. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company’s effi- ciency ratio amounted to 55.0%, representing a modest improvement compared with the 55.5% reported in 2010. Income Taxes: For the year ended December 31, 2011, total income taxes amounted to $4.5 million, representing an increase of $330 thousand, or 8.0%, compared with 2010. The Company’s effective tax rate amounted to 28.8% in 2011, compared with 27.9% in 2010. Fluctuations in the Company’s effective tax rate are generally attributed to increases in the level of non-taxable income in relation to taxable income. 7 0 0 2 8 0 0 2 9 0 0 2 0 1 0 2 0 Net Income Available to Common Shareholders ($ in thousands) 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 7 0 0 2 8 0 0 2 9 0 0 2 0 1 0 2 Tax-Equivalent Net Interest Income ($ in thousands) 1.00 impairment losses. Net 2011 securities gains of $470 thousand were comprised of realized gains on the sale of securities amounting to $2.7 million, offset in part by other-than-temporary impairment losses of $2.2 million on certain available-for-sale, private-label residential mortgage-backed securities. Diluted Earnings per Share 9 0 0 2 0 1 0 2 7 0 0 2 8 0 0 2 1 1 0 2 1 1 0 2 0 Trust and other financial services fees amounted to $3.1 million in 2011, representing an increase of $77 thousand or 2.6% compared with 2010. Reflecting additional new business, at December 31, 2011 assets under manage- $35,860 ment stood at $333.9 million, up $19.7 million, or 6.3%, compared with year-end 2010. $6,792 8,000 6,000 4,000 Service charges on deposit accounts amounted to $1.3 million in 2011, representing a decline of $75 thousand, or 5.5%, compared with 2010. This decrease was principally attributed to a decline in deposit account overdraft fees, reflecting reduced overdraft activity and the impact of new regulations that limit the ability of a bank to offer overdraft protection to deposit customers without their consent and to derive fees from overdraft programs. 2,000 9 0 0 2 0 1 0 2 7 0 0 2 8 0 0 2 1 1 0 2 1 1 0 2 0 Non-Interest Income ($ in thousands) Credit and debit card service charges and fees amounted to $1.3 million in 2011, representing an increase of $117 thousand, or 10.1%, compared with 2010. This increase was principally attributed to continued growth of the Bank’s retail deposit base, higher levels of merchant credit card processing volumes, and continued success with a pro- gram that offers rewards for certain debit card transactions. Non-Interest Expense: For the year ended December 31, 2011, total non-interest expense amounted to $23.3 mil- lion, up $1.2 million, or 5.6%, compared with 2010. The increase in non-interest expense was largely attributed to salaries and employee benefits, which were up $621 thousand, or 5.1%, compared with 2010. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was principally attributed to normal increases in base salaries, increases in employee health insurance premiums, employee severance payments as well as changes in staffing levels and mix. The year- over-year increase in salaries and employee benefits also reflects $402 thousand of employee health insurance credits attained during 2010 based on favorable claims experience. 17 2011 Summary Annual Report 5 6 8 9 2 7 Board of Directors We salute our home—the coast of Maine—a great place to work, to live, to visit and to do business.
