2012 AnnuAl RepoRt

Dear fellow shareholders:

In 2012, we celebrated our 125th anniversary year as a banking institution and our seventh 
consecutive  year  of  record  earnings.  Net  income  for  2012  was  $12.5  million,  up  12.9% 
from 2011.

In addition to strong earnings growth, we are pleased to report a variety of other components that contributed to our strong 
2012 results. For example:

n   During 2012, diluted earnings per share rose 11.6% to $3.18, another all-time performance record for the Company.

n   During 2012, BHB’s assets grew by $135.5 million or 11.6% to $1.30 billion.

n   total loans ended the year at $815.0 million, up $86.0 million or 11.8% compared to December 31, 2011.

n   During 2012, we increased our trust and financial services revenues by 7.1% over 2011 to $3.3 million. Assets under 
management at December 31, 2012 stood at $355.5 million, up $21.6 million or 6.5% compared to year-end 2011.

n   We  ended  2012  in  a  position  of  strength  with  a  total  Risk-Based  capital  ratio  of  15.78%,  well  above  the  regulatory 

standard of 10% for a “well-capitalized” financial institution.

n   Because of the Company’s balance sheet strength and consistent earnings growth, we have been able to raise the quar-
terly dividend six times over the past two years while also allowing for new capital formation. We were pleased to increase 
the dividend again in the first quarter of 2013.

2012 Highlights 
Border Trust Acquisition
on August 10, 2012, the Bank acquired substantially all the assets and assumed selected liabilities, including 
all  deposits,  of  Border  trust  Company.  this  transaction  provided  the  Bank  with  three  additional  branches  in 
Kennebec and Sagadahoc counties located to the south and west of our primary market area. For several years, 
the  Bank  had  been  building  its  business  banking  portfolio  in  southern  Maine.  By  mid-2012,  we  had  built  a 
portfolio of high-quality commercial loans in excess of $60 million within a twenty-mile radius of the topsham/
Brunswick border, which became a logical location for a branch presence. the Border trust transaction allowed 
us to accelerate our business plan in that area, providing an excellent platform to enhance our participation in 
this important region of economic activity. through our three acquired locations, we believe we will be able to 
nurture  a  new  source  of  low  cost  core  deposits,  provide  convenient  service  to  our  portfolio  of  southern  and 
central Maine commercial loan customers, and develop a new and promising market for our trust and financial 
services businesses.

Residential Lending
Residential  and  other  consumer  loans  grew  by  $55.2  million  or  17.6%  to  $369.4  million,  with  contributions 
from the Border trust acquisition and the additional acquisition of a new england-based portfolio of residential 
loans  earlier  in  the  year.  this  year,  we  have  observed  some  recovery  in  demand  for  mortgages  for  first-time 
homebuyers as well as for buyers of higher value vacation and retirement homes along the Maine coast. What 
has been less frequent for several years has been demand among mid-range customers who are moving up into 
a larger home or one with more amenities. Despite the attractive low rate mortgages that are available today, 
these potential buyers are often stymied by the need to sell their existing home as a prerequisite to purchasing 
the new one. We observe that, nationally, this segment appears to be gaining some renewed strength and we 
are optimistic that our market will benefit from this emerging trend in the future. locally, while most residential 
transactions continue to be refinances, we have noted an increasing proportion of purchase trans actions. these 
are encouraging signs.

Business Banking
In 2012, we achieved moderate year-over-year growth in commercial loans, with the portfolio ending the year 
at  $430.9  million,  for  an  increase  of  $26.3  million,  or  6.5%  over  year  end  2011.  Despite  the  recessionary 
atmosphere throughout the nation and our region over the past several years, we continue to realize growth in 
this important segment. We attribute this success to our effective business banking team, consistent underwrit-
ing and service standards, and a resilient local economy. Competitive business banking has become a recog-
nized  hallmark  of  the  Bank  throughout  our  traditional  service  footprint  and  precedes  us  into  our  new  branch 
platforms in central and southern Maine, where we can already claim a substantial book of high quality busi-
ness. these new locations have already contributed modest growth in loans and we are confident that these 
contributions will continue.

Again…A Best Place to Work
Bar Harbor Bank & trust was recognized for the second year in a row as one of the “Best places to Work in 
Maine.”  We  qualified  for  this  award  in  the  250-or-fewer-employees  category.  our  selection  was  based  upon 
candid feedback from our employees in an anonymous survey reflecting their view of the Bank’s work environment 
and their levels of job satisfaction. As before, our team members 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. We are pleased that our employees would willingly recommend the Bank as a provider 
of financial services to family and friends and as an excellent employer. We know that satisfied employees tend 
to become loyal, longer-term employees and that their job satisfaction translates to customer satisfaction and 
loyalty. the strongest component of the community banking ethic, we believe, is the bond that forms between 
our employees and their customers, a bond based upon mutual respect and trust that stands the test of time. 
In the small coastal towns of Maine, such mutual trust is priceless.

Banking Industry Outlook
Rate Environment
As financial intermediaries, banks are charged with managing interest rate risk by analyzing economic develop-
ments and market trends and adjusting investment and loan and deposit pricing decisions in response to those 
trends. During the past few years, the Federal Reserve Bank’s monetary policies have been orchestrated to keep 
interest rates low in an attempt to stimulate the general economy and accelerate the financial recovery. the result 
has been a dramatic decline in both loan rates and deposit rates compared to years past. In order to attract high 
quality earning assets in the form of business loans and residential mortgages, banks are compelled to compete 
for new business at rates that represent historical lows. on the deposit side, rates have fallen to be roughly com-
petitive  to  the  wholesale  borrowing  rates  available  to  banks.  As  short-term  deposit  rates  continue  to  fall  and 
approach zero, further declines are increasingly impractical. these factors have combined to compress bank net 
interest margins over time, including ours, and require constant diligence to manage both product pricing and risk 
underwriting. these challenges appear to be with us throughout 2013 and possibly beyond.

BAR HARBoR BAnKSHAReS

these circumstances are obviously favorable to qualified borrowers, who benefit from low rates and competing 
banks. Customers who are both borrowers and depositors can rationalize that the financial products they use are 
priced reasonably as a bundle of services. Customers who are depositors only, particularly those many deposi-
tors  who  are  retired  and  who  formerly  depended  upon  long-term  deposits  to  provide  meaningful  household 
income,  are  profoundly  disappointed  with  today’s  low  deposit  yields.  For  these  customers,  in  particular,  the 
obligation for banks to provide impeccable service, genuine patience and helpful advice has never been more 
compelling.  In  this  challenging  environment,  we  are  particularly  grateful  for  the  many  caring  professionals 
among our branch service staff, trust officers and financial consultants who provide these essential services to 
our customers every day.

Regulatory Compliance
For several years, annual reports of community banks throughout the nation, including ours, have commented 
upon the cascade of new and pending banking regulations that have compelled banks to incur growing compli-
ance management costs. We have always believed that the new legislation and regulation targets abuses which 
have played no part in our own banking practices. However, going forward, our shareholders should know that 
we  have  embraced  the  spirit  and  the  letter  of  known  regulatory  expectations  and  have  invested  significant 
resources, management focus, and many hundreds of staff training hours to make sure that our team is well-
versed in regulatory compliance, which will remain one of our major accountabilities. We believe efficient mas-
tery of regulatory expectations will be one of the factors which will distinguish successful community banks in 
the years ahead.

The Key to Our Success—Customer Loyalty
Across all of our lines of business and branch locations, we have taken note of how much of our success is the 
result  of  the  loyalty  and  stability  of  our  customer  base.  Whether  serving  the  needs  of  individual  households, 
small  businesses  or  larger  enterprises,  the  Bank  has  enjoyed  the  opportunity  to  serve  multiple  generations 
within families and multiple generations of leadership among business clients, large and small. We know that the 
hallmark of community banks is the ability to maintain the loyalty of customers over time. this loyalty may begin 
with the convenience of locations but is sustained by familiar and trusted staff members who deliver outstand-
ing  service  over  many  years  and  who  have  built  lasting  connections  of  trust  and  confidence.  throughout this 
annual report, we present several examples of relationships which have stood the tests of time, changing busi-
ness conditions, generations of customers and the development of new communities. these are relationships 
which we treasure as bankers, neighbors and friends.

on  behalf  of  the  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  and  all  the  Bar  Harbor  Bankshares  team  members,  it  is  our 
privilege and pleasure to thank you, our shareholders, for your confidence and loyalty.

Our Communities

Maine is our home, and each year in our annual report, we acknowledge 
how fortunate we are to live and work here in this matchless place where 
small towns, safe communities, breathtaking scenery, and creative busi-
nesses abound. This year we are grateful to the Witham family, Wyman’s, 
Friend & Friend, and John Wasileski for allowing us to tell their stories of  
loyalty, entrepreneurship, longevity, and innovation. Through many years, 
multiple generations, and an undying commitment to community,  
these customers represent Maine business at its finest.

Witham Fishing Family
Green Island, Maine

Bert Witham’s family has been fishing family-owned Big Green Island since the late 1800’s. Bert’s grandfather was one of the owners of Rackcliff 
and Witham’s wholesale lobster company until the 1960’s. they did business with president Roosevelt and were the first to air freight lobsters, 
delivering them all over the country. the Witham family owned Witham’s lobster pound restaurant in Rockport. Bert’s father lobstered as a young 
man, and later ran a sardine factory, Green Island packing, with his brother. there are nine relatives still working the waters today.

While “it’s in the blood” usually indicates a strong genetic propensity toward something, you might instead wonder if the Withams have salt water 
coursing through their veins. Bert’s wife, Donni, jokes that she dreads family gatherings because all they talk about is fishing—rules, regulations, 
and new products, with a dash of gossip mixed in for good measure. Despite the 3:00 a.m. wakeup time and the sometimes brutal weather, Bert 
feels blessed in his water-based profession, where enormous sea turtles, breaching whales, and breathtaking sunrises are all in a day’s work. He 
enjoys being his own boss and the freedom that it allows.

Carrying on the family tradition, Bert’s sons Jason and taylor are also lobstermen. It’s too early to know if grandson Bodie will follow suit, but it 
certainly won’t be a surprise if he pulls on Grundens when he’s a bit older. Bert says, “We chose Bar Harbor Bank & trust because they’re family-
oriented. they take the time to have one-on-one conversations and get to know us. they understand us and our business. We switched from a 
bigger bank, and the difference is undeniable.”

Jasper Wyman & Son
Milbridge, Maine

Wyman’s®, family owned and headquartered in Milbridge, Maine, has been in business since 1874 and a Bar Harbor Bank & trust customer for 
longer than anyone can remember. 

Wyman’s owns and leases more than 10,000 acres of the world’s most productive blueberry barrens both in Maine and Canada, and produces 
approximately 20%–25% of the world’s wild blueberry crop. Wild blueberries, nature’s no. 1 antioxidant fruit, differ from cultivated blueberries in 
several ways. Smaller, with a tart but sweet flavor, they are not planted but grow naturally in rocky open fields (“barrens”) in northeastern north 
America. Wild blueberries grow low to the ground in clusters on the stems, and are harvested through a combination of mechanical harvesters and 
traditional hand raking crews.

Wyman’s three state-of-the-art processing, packing, and storage facilities run 24/7 during the season, quick-freezing the berries within 24 hours of 
harvest to lock in fresh fruit flavor and character. In recent years, Wyman’s has begun sourcing other fruits, including cranberries, strawberries, 
blackberries and raspberries. they sell their products on a non-branded commodity, private label, and company-branded basis to major manufac-
turers and marketers of consumer food products, foodservice distributors, and retail consumers.

Bob Mancini, Wyman’s Vp and Chief Financial officer, says “Bar Harbor Bank & trust’s people are wonderful to work with. From management to 
the branch team, they are very proactive and have a great appreciation for what Wyman’s does. BHBt has stood with Wyman’s through the best 
and worst of times, and I expect this relationship to endure for generations to come.”

Friend & Friend, “The Boys with the Toys”
ellsworth and orono, Maine

Cooper  Friend’s  grandfather  and  great-grandfather  began  selling  cars  in  1916  at  Friend  &  Friend  in  newport,  Maine.  the  rest  is  family  history. 
Cooper’s dad added motorcycles to the mix in 1964 and Cooper opened the ellsworth shop in 1976 after finishing college. Since then, the business 
has grown to include two massive stores chock full of dependable and fun toys—motorcycles, AtV’s, snowmobiles, and all the trimmings. Cooper 
also owns Harley-Davidson stores in lewiston, Maine and new Rochelle, new York, and sold another in Burlington, Vermont.

His son, Coop, a 2006 university of Maine graduate, recently joined the business, making it a five-generation enterprise. After a competitive soccer 
career and working in the ski industry, Coop brings a new generation of leadership with high energy and fresh thinking. With service as their focus, 
the “Boys with the toys” ride, race, and own what they sell and are zealous about matching every customer with the best vehicle for his or her 
needs and experience level.

After all these years, they’re still shifting gears. Cooper says, “We’ve been in business for nearly 100 years, and we fully expect to be around for at 
least 100 more. Bar Harbor Bank & trust has been beside me since my early years and has helped me out at every turn. I’ve been around a lot of 
banks and I’ve never seen anything like the care and sincerity they show. they are genuinely interested in me and I honestly feel they are almost 
as passionate about my business as I am.”

John Wasileski, Sea Coast Management Company
the Highlands of topsham | Highland Green | oceanView at Falmouth

Convenience, connections, conservation, and choice…words that best describe John Wasileski’s Maine retirement communities. Wasileski, Maine 
resident  and  founder/owner  of  Sea  Coast  Management  Company,  operates  Highland  Green  and  the  Highlands  in  topsham  and  oceanView  at 
Falmouth. Whether seeking an active adult neighborhood, carefree apartment living, assisted living, or memory care, seniors can satisfy any life-
style preference at his one-of-a-kind communities.

A visionary passionate about environmental responsibility and historic preservation, Wasileski recently earned the Governor’s Award for Business 
excellence. His latest project, in the works for over five years, is the purchase of two schools adjacent to oceanView at Falmouth. He plans to build 
36 luxury apartments and 35 highly energy-efficient homes on the 20-acre property as well as a medical arts space and adult day care facility. A 
new auditorium and a community center in the former school buildings are being designed in cooperation with the town of Falmouth.

A hands-on leader, John makes a point to know every resident by name. that’s a tall order given that he owns three retirement communities with 
over 1,000 residents. His belief that “our residents want to be part of the community, not apart from it,” drives the development of communities 
that offer nearby access to shopping, recreation, nature, all senior services, colleges, and cultural attractions.

Wasileski says, “I’m pleased to partner with Bar Harbor Bank & trust, a Maine community bank, where our residents can utilize services. In turn, 
these  deposits  generate  capital  BHBt  can  lend  to  businesses  that  create  jobs  in  Maine.  the  money  originates,  stays,  and  circulates  within  the

BUSINESS STRATEGY

tainable growth, profitability, and shareholder value, without

achieving these goals by focusing on increasing its loan and 
deposit  market  share  in  downeast,  midcoast  and  central 
Maine.  the  Company  believes  one  of  its  more  unique

coastal economy, namely: tourism, hospitality, retail estab-
lishments, restaurants, seasonal lodging and campgrounds,

For the year ended December 31, 2012, income generated 
54.6%
from service charges on deposit accounts amounted to $1.2 
million, compared with $1.3 million in 2011, representing a 
decline  of  $88  thousand,  or  6.9%.  the  decline  in  service 
charges  on  deposit  accounts  was  principally  attributed  to 
declines 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 
customers without their specific consent and to derive fees 
from overdraft protection programs in general.

compared  with  $1.3  million  in  2011,  representing  an

processing volumes, and continued success with a program 
that offers rewards for certain debit card transactions.

Net  Interest  Income:  net  interest  income  is  the  principal

component  of  the  Company’s  income  stream  and  repre-
sents  the  difference  or  spread  between  interest  generated 
from earning assets and the interest expense paid on depos-
its  and  borrowed  funds.  Fluctuations  in  market  interest 
rates, as well as volume and mix changes in earning assets 
and  interest  bearing  liabilities,  can  materially  impact  net 
interest income.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, net interest income 
on a tax-equivalent basis amounted to $38.6 million, com-
pared with $35.9 million in 2011, representing an increase 
of $2.7 million, or 7.6%. the increase in net interest income 
was principally attributed to average earning asset growth of 
$87.0 million, or 7.8%, combined with a stable net interest 
margin. the tax-equivalent net interest margin amounted to

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 opera-
tions. non-interest income is principally derived from finan-
cial  services  including  trust,  investment  management  and 
brokerage  activities,  as  well  as  service  charges  on  deposit 
accounts, credit and debit card processing fees, net securi-
ties gains, and a variety of other product and service fees.

Non-interest  Expense:  For  the  year  ended  December  31, 
2012,  total  non-interest  expense  amounted  to  $25.6  mil-
lion,  representing  an  increase  of  $2.3  million,  or  10.0%, 
compared with 2011. the increase in non-interest expense 
was largely attributed to a $1.2 million or 9.5% increase in 
salaries  and  employee  benefits,  reflecting  higher  levels  of 
employee  severance  payments  including  $263  thousand 
incurred  in  connection  with  the  Border  trust  transaction, 
higher  levels  of  employee  incentive  compensation,  as  well 
as normal increases in base salaries and changes in staffing

thousand  in  employee  health  insurance  credits,  based  on

the increase in 2012 non-interest expense was also attrib-
uted to a $1.0 million or 17.5% increase in other operating 
expenses,  principally  reflecting  $600  thousand  in  non-
recurring  expenses  associated  with  the  Border  trust  trans-
action,  including  fees  for  professional  services  and  a  wide 
variety of conversion and integration related expenses. the 
increase in 2012 other operating expenses was additionally 
attributed to a $304 thousand or 132.7% increase in loan 
collection and other real estate owned expenses compared 
with 2011, largely reflecting higher levels of loan collection 
and  foreclosure  activity,  as  well  as  losses  on  the  sale  or 
write-down of owned properties.

2012 AnnuAl RepoRt

total loans ended the year at $815.0 million, representing 
an  increase  of  $86.0  million,  or  11.8%,  compared  with 
December  31,  2011.  Consumer  loans,  which  principally 
consist of residential real estate mortgages, were up $55.2 
million  or  17.6%  compared  with  December  31,  2011, 
largely reflecting the purchase of loans from Border trust as 
well  as  the  purchase  of  a  new  england-based  portfolio  of 
residential  mortgage  loans.  the  Bank’s  commercial  loan 
portfolio increased $26.3 million, or 6.5%, compared with 
December  31,  2011,  of  which  approximately  $9.3  million 
was attributed to the Border trust transaction. tax-exempt 
loans also showed meaningful growth, posting an increase 
of $5.5 million, compared with year end 2011. Commercial 
loan growth has been generally challenged by economic and 
political  uncertainty,  a  struggling  economy  and  vigorous 
competition for quality loans. Bank management attributes 
the continued growth of its commercial loan portfolio to an 
effective business banking team, deep local market knowl-
edge,  sustained  new  business  development  efforts,  and  a 
resilient local economy that has been faring better than the 
nation as a whole.

Credit  Quality:  total  non-performing  loans  ended  the  year 
at  $9.9  million,  representing  a  decline  of  $3.0  million  or 
23.6% compared with year-end 2011. one commercial real 
estate  development  loan  to  a  local,  non-profit  housing 
authority  in  support  of  an  affordable  housing  project 
accounted for $2.0 million or 20.6% of total non-performing 
loans,  down  from  $2.8  million  at  December  31,  2011.  At 
December  31,  2012,  total  non-performing  loans  repre-
sented 1.21% of total loans, down from 1.77% at year end 
2011. total net loan charge-offs amounted to $1.8 million 
in 2012, or 0.23% of total average loans outstanding, down 
from $2.7 million and 0.37% in 2011, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Bank recorded 
a provision for loan losses (the “provision”) of $1.7 million, 
representing  a  decline  of  $743  thousand  or  31.0%  com-
pared  with  2011.  the  provision  recorded  in  2012  was 
largely  driven  by  the  Bank’s  charge-off  experience,  growth 
in  the  loan  portfolio  and  still-depressed  real  estate  values. 
the decline in the provision largely reflected improved credit 
quality metrics which continued to stabilize during 2012. In 
addition to improved charge-off experience, delinquent loans 
and  potential  problem  loans  expressed  as  a  percentage  of 
total loans were down slightly compared with December 31, 
2011, while non-performing loans declined 23.6%.

the  Bank  maintains  an  allowance  for  loan  losses  (the 
“allowance”)  which  is  available  to  absorb  probable  losses 
on  loans.  the  allowance  is  maintained  at  a  level  that,  in 
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, 
2012,  the  allowance  stood  at  $8.1  million,  representing  a 
decline of $124 thousand or 1.5% compared with December 
31,  2011.  the  small  decline  in  the  allowance  was  princi-
pally  attributed  to  improved  credit  quality  metrics,  as  well 
as  the  elimination  of  certain  loan-specific  loss  allowances 
for loans that were charged-off during the year.

Investment Securities: During 2012 the securities portfolio 
continued  to  serve  as  a  key  source  of  earning  assets  and 
liquidity  for  the  Bank.  total  securities  ended  the  year  at 
$418.0 million, up $36.2 million, or 9.5%, compared with 
December  31,  2011.  Bank  management  considers  securi-
ties  as  a  relatively  attractive  means  to  effectively  leverage 
the Bank’s strong capital position, as securities are typically 
assigned a significantly lower risk weighting for the purpose 
of  calculating  the  Bank’s  and  the  Company’s  risk-based 
capital ratios. the overall objectives of the Bank’s strategy

Borrowings: Borrowed funds principally consist of advances 
from  the  Federal  Home  loan  Bank  of  Boston.  the  Bank 
utilizes borrowed funds in leveraging its strong capital posi-

rowings ended the year at $371.6 million, representing an 
increase  of  $51.3  million,  or  16.0%,  compared  with 
December  31,  2011.  the  increase  in  borrowings  was  uti-
lized to help support the Bank’s 2012 earning asset growth, 
while  lowering  its  dependence  on  brokered  deposits 
obtained from the national market.

Deposits
($ in millions)

Deposits: During 2012, the most significant funding source 
for the Bank’s earning assets continued to be retail depos-
its,  gathered  through  its  network  of  fifteen  banking  offices 
throughout  downeast,  midcoast  and  central  Maine.  total 
deposits  ended  the  year  at  $795.0  million,  up  $72.1  mil-
lion,  or  10.0%,  compared  with  December  31,  2011.  the 
deposits acquired in connection with the Border trust trans-
action accounted for approximately $38.5 million or 53.4% 
of the growth in total deposits. Demand, noW and money 
market accounts combined were up $56.1 million or 15.2% 
compared  with  December  31,  2011,  while  time  deposits 
were up $16.0 million, or 4.5%.

Capital: Consistent with its long-term strategy of operating 
a sound and profitable organization, at December 31, 2012, 
the Company and the Bank continued to exceed regulatory 
requirements  for  “well-capitalized”  financial  institutions. 
Company management considers this to be vital in promot-
ing depositor and investor confidence and providing a solid 
foundation  for  future  growth.  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, 2012, the 
Company’s  tier  I  leverage,  tier  I  Risk-based,  and  total 
Risk-based  capital  ratios  were  8.87%,  14.15%  and 
15.78%, respectively.

Shareholder  Dividends:  During  2012  the  Company  paid 
regular  cash  dividends  on  its  common  stock  in  the  aggre-
gate amount of $4.57 million, compared with $4.23 million 
in  2011.  the  Company’s  2012  dividend  payout  ratio 
amounted  to  36.6%,  compared  with  38.3%  in  2011.  the 
total  regular  cash  dividends  paid  in  2012  amounted  to 
$1.17 per share of common stock, compared with $1.095 
per share in 2011, representing an increase of $0.075 per 
share, or 6.9%.

As previously announced, the Company’s Board of Directors 
recently declared a first quarter 2013 regular cash dividend 
of  $0.305  per  share  of  common  stock,  representing  an 
increase of $0.02 or 7.0% compared with the first quarter 
of 2012. Based on the year-end 2012 price of BHB’s com-
mon stock of $33.65 per share, the dividend yield amounted 
to 3.63%.
