NOTE 1.          BASIS OF PRESENTATION

​

The consolidated financial statements (unaudited) (the “financial statements”) of Bar Harbor Bankshares and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or similar terms) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company is a Maine Financial Institution Holding Company for the purposes of the laws of the State of Maine, and as such is subject to the jurisdiction of the Superintendent of the Maine Bureau of Financial Institutions. These financial statements include our accounts, the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiary Bar Harbor Bank & Trust (the “Bank”) and the Bank’s consolidated subsidiaries. The results of operations of companies or assets acquired are included only from the dates of acquisition. All material wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries are consolidated unless GAAP requires otherwise.

​

In addition, these interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared according to GAAP have been omitted.

​

The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and note disclosures in the Form 10-K previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement are reflected in the interim periods presented.

​

Reclassifications: Whenever necessary, amounts in the prior years’ financial statements are reclassified to conform to current presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on net income in the consolidated income statement.

​

Goodwill assessment: In connection with acquisitions, management generally records as assets on our consolidated financial statements both goodwill and other intangible assets, such as core deposit and acquired customer relationship intangibles.

​

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in accordance with the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized but, instead, is subject to impairment tests on at least an annual basis, or more frequently, if an event occurs or circumstances change that reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The impairment testing process is conducted by assigning assets and goodwill to each reporting unit. Currently, our goodwill is evaluated at the entity level as there is only one reporting unit. Management, at our discretion, assesses certain qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. An impairment charge is recognized if the carrying fair value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill.  

​

In the fourth quarter 2023, management completed its annual goodwill impairment testing using balance sheet and market data as of September 30, 2023. The analysis was performed at the consolidated Bank-level of the Company, which is considered the smallest reporting unit carrying goodwill. Based on an analysis performed, the Company's estimated fair value to a market participant as of September 30, 2023, exceeded its carrying amount resulting in no impairment charge for the period. Management evaluated current conditions and concluded there have been no significant changes in the economic environment or future projections and therefore, believes that there has been no further decline in the Company's fair value as of September 30, 2023. Management will continue to evaluate the economic conditions at future reporting periods for applicable changes.

​

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

​

​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​
Standard			Description			Required Date of Adoption			Effect on financial statements
Standards Adopted in 2023							​	​	​
ASU 2022-02 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs") and Vintage Disclosures	​	​	The amendments in this update eliminate TDR recognition and measurement guidance and, instead, require that an entity evaluate (consistent with the accounting for other loan modifications) whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendments enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.	​	​	January 1, 2023	​	​	The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2023-02 Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method	​	​	The amendments in this update permit reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met.	​	​	December 15, 2023, including interim periods within the fiscal year	​	​	The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Standards Not Yet Adopted							​	​	​
ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures	​	​	The amendments in this update require that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income [or loss] by the applicable statutory income tax rate).	​	​	​ Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024	​	​	We do not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
