Except as stated below, the amounts of assets and liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in accordance with the earlier of term to repricing or the contractual terms of the asset or liability. The Bank has assumed that 3% of its savings is more rate sensitive and will react to rate changes, and has therefore categorized it in the 3-12 monthone year time horizon. The remainder is stable and is listed in the greater than five year category. NOW accounts, other than seasonal fluctuations approximating $3,000,000, are stable and are listed in the greater than five year category. Money market accounts are assumed to reprice in three months or less. Certificates of deposit are assumed to reprice at the date of contractual maturity. Fixed rate mortgages, totaling $31,000,000$34,000,000 are amortized using a 6% rate, which approximates the Bank s prior experience.

PAGE MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS A review of the results of operations for March 31, 1996, as compared to March 31, 1995, with the growth in earnings exceeding 16%, is affected by changes in the balance sheet. Total assets have grown 7.8% over the past twelve months with the major changes visible in the investment and loan portfolios. The Bank's investment portfolio grew by approximately $13,300,000 for the twelve month period with $11,550,000 purchased in U.S. Government agency securities. The results of operations for September 30, 1995 are reflected through the growth in the balance sheet. Total assets grew over $30,000,000 in 1995 and $36,000,000 in l994 each compared to the previous year's third quarter end. The major changes are found in the investment and loan portfolios. The investment portfolio growth of just under $10,000,000, has been in the area of US Government agency debentures which were purchased with the intent to hold to maturity. Some callable agencies with longer maturities have been placed in the available for sale category and the Bank is reviewing the FASB's window to move securities from held to maturity to available for sale before year end. The Bank's available for sale portfolio, totaling $8,300,000 is comprised of $5,400,000 in Federal Home Loan Bank stock. Ownership of stock is required by the FHLB for participation in their funding programs. This stock has earned the Bank s available for sale portfolio increased by $15,000,000 over the past twelve months. The Bank made a one- time transfer of securities at market value totaling $5,600,000 in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board implementation guidance issued in November of 1995. Additional securities added to the available for sale portfolio include bonds that have calls and longer final maturities. Unrealized gains and losses became negative and are indicative of the current economic marketplace with interest rates rising abruptly and presumed to be temporarily. This is also visible in the total market value of the portfolio that is currently $155,000 below book value. However, the portfolio continues to earn in excess of 6.8%. The Bank holds one structured note, a ten-year step-up government agency debenture, which steps annually by 1/8 of one percent after 3 years at 7.0%. The loan growth of $11,000,000 from March 31, 1995 has been predominantly in loans secured by real estate. The Bank's loan portfolio s growth has slowed from a 15% growth in 1995 compared to 1994 to a 5.8% growth in 1996 over 1995. The Bank is experiencing competition from other financial institutions within its marketplace. Funding for the asset growth has come from increases in deposits totaling $23,255,000 and predominantly from interest bearing liabilities in the form of certificates of deposit, which increased 21%. In March of 1995, the Bank s Trust Department maintained approximately $10,000,000 in repurchase agreements that were withdrawn prior to year end 1995. These funds were replaced by deposits as mentioned above and borrowings through the Federal Home Loan Bank. Advances increased in the past twelve months by $14,000,000 as these funds became less costly than opportunities for wholesale repurchase agreements. Short term borrowings will begin dropping during the next six months through seasonal deposit growth, investment maturities and principal paydowns from the Bank's mortgage backed securities portfolio. Liquidity is measured by the Bank's ability to meet cash needs at a reasonable cost or minimum loss to the Bank. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet cash flow requirements of its customers, which may come from depositors withdrawing funds or borrowers requiring funds to meet credit needs. Without adequate liquidity management, the Bank would not be able to meet the needs of the individuals and communities it serves. The Bank utilizes a Basic Surplus/Deficit model to measure its liquidity over a 30-day and a 90-day time horizon. The relationship between liquid assets and short term liabilities that are vulnerable to non-replacement within a 30-day period are examined. The Bank's policy is to maintain its liquidity position at a minimum of 5% of total assets. The Bank has maintained liquidity in its balance sheet in excess of 7% for the past twelve months. Liquidity has been more than 10% since the repurchase agreements with the Trust Department were discontinued, which reduced the PAGE amount of Bank securities required to be held as collateral. Liquidity as measured by the Basic Surplus/Deficit model was 17.6% as of March 31, 1996. How changes in the balance sheet have affected the Bank may be viewed through the earnings statement for the periods ending March 31, 1994, 1995, and 1996. The Bank has experienced a very strong first quarter that compares favorably to the first quarter of 1995 and which has produced a 16% increase over net income earning during the first three months of 1995. In turn, 1995 produced a 9.8% increase over 1994 in net earnings for the Bank. Interest income is affected by rates, volumes and the mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. For the first three months of 1996, increases in the loan portfolio have afforded the Bank additional interest income of $590,000 that was achieved through increases in volumes totaling $315,000 and increases in rates of $275,000. Yields on loans increased by 24 basis points from March 1995 to March of 1996. This compares with 1995 s increase over 1994 of $724,000 due to increases in both volumes ($532,000) and interest rate changes ($192,000). Loan yields increased 69 basis points during that twelve month period. 1995 represented the first increase in loan yields for the past several years with decreases of 64 and 103 basis points experienced in 1994 and 1993 respectively. On the investment side, interest and dividend income grew by $175,000 with increases related to volumes and a decrease in yields of $22,000 or a drop of 32 basis points from year to year. Investment interest increased by $300,000 in 1995 compared to 1994 with increases coming equally from increased volumes and rates (which increased by 61 basis points). In 1994 earnings from the Bank's investment portfolio decreased by $244,000 due to decreases in yields (a drop of 72 basis points). Increased costs on the liability side have been contained by the Bank not increasing its rates on savings, NOW and money market funds. For the past two years, the Bank has chosen to promote specific term CDS at current national market rates, thereby increasing its cost of funds on those deposits only. In 1996, the Bank s cost of interest bearing funds increased by $447,000 that was less than the previous year, although deposit balances grew by over $23,000,000. The cost of purchased funds went up 17 basis points during this period. Part of the reduction in cost is found in the reduction in funding costs from the Federal Home Loan Bank. In 1995, the Bank's cost of funds rose by $690,000 that is both from increased volumes ($209,000) as well as higher CD rates. The cost of purchased funds increased by 92 basis points in 1995. Comparing this to 1994 and 1993, both years showed reductions in funding costs (23 basis points in 1994 and 106 basis points in 1993). 1994 began with a downward trend for interest rates, but the Bank along with other financial institutions was impacted by each of the federal funds increases instituted by the Federal Reserve. It has been the Bank's approach to lag increases on both sides of the balance sheet throughout the year. The Bank is well positioned with regard to interest rate sensitivity with assets and liabilities matched for repricing within a year. There is some exposure to falling rates out beyond a year that is primarily driven by the Bank s expectation that core deposit rates should not be lowered. Additionally, with a projected acceleration in prepayments in loans and investments, cash would be reinvested at lower yields. If rates were to drop by 200 basis points, simulations indicate that the Bank s net interest income could drop by approximately $1,000,000 during the second year of the drop. PAGE The Bank has maintained its reserve for possible loan losses over the past several years, reflecting the recessionary nature of the economy in the early 1990's. The ratio for the reserve for possible loan losses has been over 2% for the past three years, with a ratio of 2.10% as of March 31, 1996. The Bank reviews its allocation to the reserve on a monthly basis and funds the reserve as deemed necessary. This review includes a provision for specific credits, provisions due to historic loan losses by loan types and reserves reflecting industry concentrations, credit concentrations, current economic conditions and underwriting standards. In 1995, the Bank added a provision for impaired loans in accordance with FASB 114/118. Reference is made to the notes included in this filing that outlines the impaired loan figures. Losses in the loan portfolio were estimated at $840,000 for 1996, with first quarter charge offs totaling $149,000. The amounts represented below are the total dollars past due for the first three quarters of 1995. The appreciation of net unrealized gains to $85,500 as of September 30, 1995 continues to grow slowly with the increase in the market. The market value of the entire portfolio, which is approximately $470,000 greater than the book value, has risen in the past year, following national economic trends including lower interest rates. The Bank does not hold any securities (such as structured debt tied to multiple indices, interest only or principal only securities) that may experience considerable change in their market values by a greater degree than traditional debt and could materially affect the entire portfolio. In the loan portfolio, which has grown by $16,000,000 in the past twelve months, the Bank's concentration has been through the extension of loans secured by real estate to its consumer customers totalling $11,000,000 more than one year ago. Funding for the asset growth has come from increases in deposits t o talling $23,000,000, predominantly from interest bearing certificates of deposit. As opportunities have surfaced to attract lower cost deposits and repurchase agreements, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank have decreased by $7,000,000. Short term borrowings were reduced through seasonal deposit growth, investment maturities and/or calls and principal paydowns from the Bank's mortgage backed securities portfolio. Liquidity is measured by the Bank's ability to meet cash needs at a reasonable cost or minimum loss to the Bank. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet cash flow requirements of its customers, which may come from depositors withdrawing funds or borrowers requiring funds to meet credit needs. Without adequate liquidity management, the Bank would not be able to meet the needs of the individuals and communities it serves. The Bank utilizes a Basic Surplus/Deficit model to measure its liquidity over a 30-day and a 90- day time horizon. We examine the relationship between liquid assets and short term liabilities which are vulnerable to non-replacement within a 30-day period. The 90-day analysis extends to include a projection of subsequent cash flow funding needs over an additional 60-day time horizon. The Bank's policy is to maintain its liquidity position at a minimum of 5% of total assets. At September 30,1995 the Bank has liquidity in excess of 10% in its balance sheet. PAGE How the changes in the balance sheet have affected the Bank may be viewed through the earnings statement for the periods ending September 30, 1993, 1994, and 1995. Overall, the net earnings for the Bank are $535,000 ahead of last year's first nine months' earnings which represents a 13% increase. Net interest income for the first nine months of 1995 has added strong earnings and is affected by rates, volumes and the mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Increases in the loan portfolio have afforded the Bank additional interest income of $1,590,000 due to increases in volumes, with further increases of $1,000,000 due to changes in rates. The Bank increased its base lending rate by 75 basis points between September 30, 1994 and September 30, 1995. Although only a portion of loans are immediately affected by changes in the Bank's base rate, the effect of the increases has over time increased the yields in the portfolio. The commercial real estate rate for variable rate mortgages has increased 100 basis points since September 30, 1994 and as the loans in that portion of the portfolio totalling over $50,000,000 in mortgages reach their annual anniversary dates, the yield has improved the overall yield for loans. Loan yields have increased by 99 basis points over the past twelve months and represent the first increase in several years. Decreases in yields experienced in 1994 and 1993 were 16 and 77 basis points respectively. Interest on investments has also increased both due to volumes ($451,000) and to increased rates ($403,000). Similar to the loan yields, 1995 is the first year in several in which the overall investment yield increased rather than decreased. Yields on investments have increased by 24 basis points during the past year compared with 43 and 77 basis point drops in 1994 and 1993 respectively. It is the boost from the increases in rates in the Bank's earning assets that have helped to offset the increases seen in liability costs as described below. The cost of deposited funds increased from September 1994 to September 1995 by 78 basis points. Additionally rates rose on borrowed funds during the past twelve months by over 117 basis points. Due to this increase in borrowed funds costs, the Bank elected to promote certificates of deposit early in 1995, locking in acceptable rates for the Bank which were lower than alternative sources of funding. Taking into consideration the increased cost of borrowings and the increased volumes in certificates of deposit, the Bank's overall cost of purchased funds increased by $1,730,000 when compared to September of 1994. With increases on both sides of the balance sheet, the Bank's earnings remain strong with its net interest income totalling $1,178,000 more than one year ago. With regard to interest rate sensitivity, the Bank is positioned favorably for the current interest rate cycle with $13,000,000 more of its liabilities repricing within a year when compared to its assets. On the shorter run (out to 90 days), the Bank has $18,000,000 more in liabilities which are sensitive to rate changes than assets, both of which might prove beneficial if the Federal Reserve responds by lowering the Federal funds rate in either November or December of this year. There will be no adverse interest rate risk should interest rates remain unchanged. PAGE Due to changes in the methodology used for computing the reserve for possible loan losses, the Bank increased its ratio to gross loans to over 2% beginning in 1993 and through September 30, 1995 has maintained that reserve to loan ratio. The Bank reviews its allocation to the reserve on a monthly basis and funds the reserve as deemed necessary. This review includes a provision for specific credits, provisions due to historic loan losses by loan types and reserves reflecting industry concentrations, credit concentrations, current economic conditions and underwriting standards. In 1995, the Bank has added a provision for impaired loans in accordance with FASB 114/118. Losses for 1995 were originally estimated at $950,000 with $464,000 charged off through September 30, 1995, compared to $337,000 and $820,000 charged off in the first nine months of 1994 and 1993, respectively. The amounts represented below are the total dollars o u t standing for the first nine months of each year listed.

This growth is attributableattributed to the Trust Department's scheduled fees. These fees are based on increased book assets of more than $18,000,000Department s earnings growing by $64,000 over the first three months of 1995. In the fall of 1995, the Trust Department converted their tax preparation and began charging customers for the service. The cost of this tax service is shown in other expenses. Additionally, as of January 1, 1996, the Bank implemented FASB Statement No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights that positively impacted the earnings of the Bank by $57,000. 1995 showed a decline of $29,000 when compared to 1994. The decline has come from two specific areas, one being securities gains taken in the first quarter of 1994 of $18,500 for which there were no comparable gains taken in 1995. Additionally, the secondary market for residential mortgages, which has generated substantial income for the Bank in the past twelve months and are computed based on market valueseveral years, dropped to $11,000 in the first quarter of total assets. Both1995. In comparison, 1994 and 1993 showed increasesgrowth as compared to their respective previous years. 1994 increased by $70,000 whereas 1993 experienced a $390,000 increase over 1992.

PAGE Accruing for an incentive program reflects the increase in salary and benefit costs in 1996 over 1995. Although the program is not new to the Bank in 1996, this is the first nine monthsyear that the dollars have been designated prior to year end. Excluding the accrual, salary and benefits would be 3% higher than the first quarter of 19931995. Salary and benefits remained stable for the Bank earned almost $297,000 from fees generatedfirst quarter of 1995, increasing by the secondary mortgage program. This compares to $150,000 and $98,800 for$14,000 over 1994. In 1994 and 1995 respectively. The decline in income generated from the sale of residential mortgages through the secondary market are directly related to the interest rate cycle and as rates have risen, sales and refinances of homes have dropped. The fees generated in the granting of residential mortgages during the falling rate interest cycle of the early 1990's is now translated into earnings through the servicing of those loans which total over $58,000,000 in outstanding balances and totals $198,500 in income thus far in 1995. PAGE Salarysalary and employee benefits for 1995 are actually three percent below 1994's expense and compare favorably with 1994 which shows a $435,000were $63,000 (or 13%5.5%) increase over 1993. Other expense for the first three months of 1996 is below the comparable period in 1995 due to the elimination of FDIC insurance premiums. As a well capitalized bank, Bar Harbor Banking and Trust Company has not been required to pay premiums for this coverage. In the fall of 1995, the Bank sought the services of a consulting firm to review existing procedures, seeking greater efficiencies while maintaining quality customer service. The Bank incurred $66,000 in expenses for these services during the first quarter of 1996. Other expense for the first quarter of 1995 was greater than 1994 and included: increases in postage costs due to an increase by the US Postal Service; increases in media coverage for Bank promotions offered during the first quarter of 1995; increased legal expense incurred with loan resolutions; and increased FDIC insurance based on increased deposits. Likewise, other expense was greater in 1994 represents increases in compensation of 5% and costs incurred with the addition of a deferred plan for certain senior officers (Messrs. Reeves, Eaton, Goldthwait and MacDonald) in light of the termination of the defined benefit pension plan. There was a $205,000 or 6.7% increase between quarter ends in 1993 as compared to 1992. 1993 was the year of adoption of FASB 106 pertaining to postretirement benefits and the expense incurred pertained to future benefits for employees. With regard to other expense, 1995 expenses of $3,700,000 compares more with 1993's expenses of $3,560,000 than those of 1994. 1994 marked a year in which other expenses actually went down by $285,000 when compared to 1993. During1993's expense with no single account showing a large increase when compared to 1993 s expenses. Other expense encompasses the Bank took losses on properties owned which resulted from loan problems totalling $264,000. There were no comparable losses in either 1994 or 1995. There is no o n e categorymajority of expense which exceeds $50,000 in increased expenditures in 1995 and stands out as a significant increase. The Trust Department has recently outsourced its tax preparation for customers and the initial outlay for that operation has been approximately $44,000. Fees will be generated from Trust customers as the 1995 tax preparation season begins. The Bank's year-to-date efficiency ratio is 54% which is well under the national average. Effective January 1, 1995, the Bank adopted FASB No. 114, "Accounting By Creditors for Impairment of a loan", as amended by Statement No. 118. A loan is impaired when it is probable that the Bank will not collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are loansaccounts that are carried on a non-accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status and are no longer considered to be impaired when they become current as to principal andnot interest or demonstrate a period of performance under the contractual terms, and in management's opinion are fully collectable. Certain loans are exempt from the provisions including large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, such as consumer and residential mortgage loans. Impaired loans totaled $1,041,882 at September 30, 1995. The Bank plans to implement SFAS No. 122 effective January 1, 1996 with no negative impact to its earnings. The Bank was examined by the FDIC in September of this year and there were no recommendations made which would have a material effect o n the registrant's capital resources, liquidity or operating earnings.human resource related. The Bank's capital to asset ratio is 10.16%10.6% and the Bank far exceeds the required risk based capital ratio of 8% with its Tier I ratio of 15.54%,16.1% and total capital ratio of 16.79% and leverage ratio17.4% or additional capital of 10.14%. Using the risk based capital formula, the Bank has capital in excess of requirements of $18,429,000.$19,500,000.
