NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.          BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) of Bar Harbor Bankshares and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Bar Harbor”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Bar Harbor Bankshares 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 the accounts of the Company, its wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary Bar Harbor Bank & Trust (the "Bank") and the Bank’s consolidated subsidiaries. In consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The results of operations of companies or assets acquired are included only from the dates of acquisition. All material wholly-owned and majority-ownedmajority owned subsidiaries are consolidated unless U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP have been omitted.

The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and note disclosures for the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162018 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.Commission (the "SEC").  In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement are reflected in the interim periods presented.

As a result of the Lake Sunapee Group acquisition, the Company has the following new significant and critical accounting policy regarding acquired loans:

Acquired Loans:Reclassifications: Loans that the Company acquired in business combinations are initially recorded at fair value with no carryover of the related allowance for credit losses. Determining the fair value of the loans involves estimating the amount and timing of principal and interest cash flows initially expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at an appropriate market rate of interest. Going forward, the Company will continue to evaluate reasonableness of expectations for the timing and the amount of cash to be collected. Subsequent decreases or increases in expected cash flows may result in changesWhenever necessary, amounts in the amortization or accretion of fair market value adjustments, and in some cases may result in the loan being considered impaired. For collateral dependent loans with deteriorated credit quality, the Company estimates the fair value of the underlying collateral of the loans. These valuesprior years’ financial statements are discounted using market derived rates of return, with consideration givenreclassified to the period of time and costs associated with the foreclosure and disposition of the collateral.

Recently Adopted Accounting Principles
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvementsconform to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This ASU includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. Some of the key provisions of this new ASU include: (1) companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”). Instead, they will record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement, and APIC pools will be eliminated.current presentation.  The guidance also eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized before companies can recognize them. In addition, the guidance requires companies to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity; (2) increase the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still qualify for the exception to liability classification for shares used to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation. The new guidance will also require an employer to classify the cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy its statutory income tax withholding obligation as a financing activity on its statement of cash flows (current guidance did not specify how these cash flows should be classified); and (3) permit companies to make an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards. Forfeitures can be estimated, as required

currently, or recognized when they occur. ASU No. 2016-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09 on January 1, 2017 and elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur. As allowed by the ASU, the Company’s adoption was prospective, therefore, prior periods have not been adjusted. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 could result in increased volatility to reported income tax expense related to excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies for employee share-based transactions, however, the actual amounts recognized in income tax expense will be dependent on the amount of employee share-based transactions and the stock price at the time of vesting or exercise. In 2017, the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 resulted in an insignificant decrease to the provision for income taxes primarily due to the tax benefit from the exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, “Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” This ASU shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. Today, entities generally amortize the premium over the contractual life of the security. The new guidance does not change the accounting for purchased callable debt securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. ASU No. 2017-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The guidance calls for a modified retrospective transition approach under which a cumulative-effect adjustment will be made to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company elected to adopt the provisions of ASU No. 2017-08 as of March 31, 2017, whichreclassifications had no impact on net income in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.consolidated income statement.  

Future Application of
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”
The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting standards updates ("ASU") jointly issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Current revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP consists of broad revenue recognition concepts together with numerous revenue requirements for particular industries or transactions, which sometimes resulted in different accounting for economically similar transactions. In contrast, IFRS provided limited revenue recognition guidance and, consequently, could be difficult to apply to complex transactions. Accordingly, the FASB and the IASB initiated a joint project to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and IFRS that would: (1) remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements; (2) provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues; (3) improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets; (4) provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements; and (5) simplify the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. To meet those objectives, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The common revenue standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies generally will be required to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The standard was initially effective for public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016; early adoption was not permitted. However, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date” which deferred the effective date by one year (i.e., interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017). For financial reporting purposes, the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application. In addition, the FASB has begun to issue targeted updates to clarify specific implementation issues of ASU 2014-09. These updates include ASU No. 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU No. 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” ASU No. 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,” and ASU No. 2016-20 “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Since the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities that are accounted for under other U.S. GAAP, the Company does not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on revenue most

closely associated with financial instruments, including interest income. The Company is currently performing an overall assessment of revenue streams and reviewing contracts potentially affected by the ASU including trust and asset management fees, deposit related fees, interchange fees, and merchant income, to determine the potential impact the new guidance is expected to have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, the Company continues to follow certain implementation issues relevant to the banking industry which are still pending resolution. The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective approach.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This ASU addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments by making targeted improvements to U.S. GAAP as follows: (1) require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer; (2) simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates that impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value; (3) eliminate the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities; (4) eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (5) require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (6) require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; (7) require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and (8) clarify that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption only for provisions (3) and (6) above. Early adoption of the other provisions mentioned above is not permitted. The Company has performed a preliminary evaluation of the provisions of ASU No. 2016-01. Based on this evaluation, the Company has determined that ASU No. 2016-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements; however, the Company will continue to closely monitor developments and additional guidance.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases.” Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases): (1) a lease liability, which is the present value of a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments, and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessor accounting under the new guidance remains largely unchanged as it is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases, and operating leases. Leveraged leases have been eliminated, although lessors can continue to account for existing leveraged leases using the current accounting guidance. Other limited changes were made to align lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and the new revenue recognition standard. All entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease-related revenue and expense. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures will be required by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The intention is to require enough information to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand more about the nature of an entity’s leasing activities. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. All entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. They have the option to use certain relief; full retrospective application is prohibited. The Company has several lease agreements, such as branch locations, which are currently considered operating leases, and therefore, not recognized on the Company’s consolidated financial statements of condition. The Company expects the new guidance will require these leaseupon adoption:

agreements to now be recognized on the consolidated statements of condition as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. Therefore, the Company’s preliminary evaluation indicates the provisions of ASU No. 2016-02 are expected to impact the Company’s consolidated statements of condition. However, the Company continues to evaluate the extent of potential impact the new guidance will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. In issuing the standard, the FASB is responding to criticism that today’s guidance delays recognition of credit losses. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model. The new model, referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, will apply to: (1) financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and (2) certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes, but is not limited to, loans, leases, held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees. The CECL model does not apply to available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities. For AFS debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to what they do today, except that the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. As a result, entities will recognize improvements to estimated credit losses immediately in earnings rather than as interest income over time, as they do today. The ASU also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. ASU 2016-13 also expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for loan and lease losses. In addition, entities will need to disclose the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (i.e., modified retrospective approach). The Company’s preliminary evaluation indicates the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 are expected to impact the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, in particular the level of the reserve for credit losses. However, the Company continues to evaluate the extent of the potential impact.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” Current U.S. GAAP is unclear or does not include specific guidance on how to classify certain transactions in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how eight particular transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period. Entities will be required to apply the guidance retrospectively. If it is impracticable to apply the guidance retrospectively for an issue, the amendments related to that issue would be applied prospectively. As this guidance only affects the classification within the statement of cash flows, ASU No. 2016-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. ASU No. 2017-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company expects to early adopt upon the next goodwill impairment test in 2017. ASU No. 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit Cost.” Under the new guidance, employers will present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs (e.g., Salaries and Benefits) arising from services rendered during the period. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Employers will present the other components separately from the line item (e.g., Other Noninterest Expense) that includes the service cost. ASU No. 2017-07 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, however, the Company has decided

not to early adopt. Employers will apply the guidance on the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement retrospectively. The guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost in assets to the service cost component will be applied prospectively. The Company expects to utilize the ASU’s practical expedient allowing entities to estimate amounts for comparative periods using the information previously disclosed in their pension and other post-retirement benefit plan footnote. ASU No. 2017-07 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Stock Compensation, Scope of Modification Accounting.” This ASU clarifies when changes to the terms of conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. Companies will apply the modification accounting guidance if the value, vesting conditions or classification of the award changes. The new guidance should reduce diversity in practice and result in fewer changes to the terms of an award being accounted for as modifications, as the guidance will allow companies to make certain non-substantive changes to awards without accounting for them as modifications. It does not change the accounting for modifications. ASU No. 2017-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017; early adoption is permitted. ASU No. 2017-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” This ASU’s objectives are to (1) improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity’s risk management activities by better aligning the entity’s financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities; and (2) reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers. ASU No. 2017-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The Company’s interest rate cap agreements are derivative financial instruments that are designated as formal hedging relationships. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine whether its provisions will enhance the Company’s ability to employ risk management strategies, while improving the transparency and understanding of those strategies for financial statement users.

StandardDescriptionRequired Date of AdoptionEffect on financial statements
Standards Adopted in 2019
ASU 2016-02, LeasesThis ASU creates ASU Topic 842, Leases, and supersedes Topic 840, Leases. The new guidance requires lessees to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability equal to the present value of future rental payments on their balance sheets for all leases with a term greater than one year. There are not significant changes to lessor accounting; however, there are certain improvements made to align lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance expands both quantitative and qualitative required disclosures. This ASU is required to be adopted on a modified retrospective basis and allows for practical expedients and elections in conjunction with implementation. The Company may elect some of the expedients upon the adoption date, which may be applied prospectively or retrospectively.January 1, 2019The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019 including the election of the practical expedients, allowing for existing leases to be accounted for consistent with current guidance, with the exception of balance sheet recognition for lessees. A modified retrospective transition approach was utilized, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. At January 1, 2019 the Company recognized a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability of $9.0 million. This computation is based, primarily, on the present value of unpaid future minimum lease payments. Additionally, that amount is impacted by assumptions around renewals and/or extensions, and the interest rate used to discount those future lease obligations. Due to the limited size of the Company's leasing portfolio, many other items related to this standard don't apply, or had an immaterial impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. For transitional disclosures see Note 12 - Leases.

ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging ActivitiesThis ASU amends Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815, Derivatives and Hedging to (1) improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity's risk management activities by better aligning the entity's financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities and (2) reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers.January 1, 2019The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019, although it did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2018-16, Inclusion of Overnight Financing Rate or Overnight Swap Rate as a Benchmark for Hedge Accounting
ASU 2018-07, Share Based Payment AccountingThis ASU expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation- Stock Compensation to include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees and employees will be substantially aligned. The ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to non-employees.January 1, 2019The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019, with no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


NOTE 2.ACQUISITION

Lake Sunapee Bank Group
On January 13, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of Lake Sunapee Bank Group (“Lake Sunapee”). Lake Sunapee, as a holding company, had one banking subsidiary (“Lake Sunapee Bank”) that had 33 full service branches located throughout New Hampshire and Vermont. As a result of the transaction, Lake Sunapee Bank Group merged into Bar Harbor Bankshares, and Lake Sunapee Bank merged into Bar Harbor Bank. This business combination expanded the Company's geographic footprint and increased market share in its New England based franchise. The goodwill recognized results from the expected synergies and earnings accretion from this combination, including future cost savings related to the operations of Lake Sunapee Bank Group.

On the acquisition date, Lake Sunapee had 8.38 million common shares outstanding, which were exchanged for 4.16 million of the Company's common shares based on a 0.4970 exchange ratio as defined in the merger agreement. The merger qualified as a reorganization for federal income tax purposes, and as a result, Lake Sunapee common shares exchanged for the Company's common shares were transferred on a tax-free basis. Bar Harbor Bankshares common stock issued in this exchange was valued at $43.69 per share based on the closing price posted on January 13, 2017 resulting in a consideration value of $181.92 million. The Company also paid $27 thousand to Lake Sunapee shareholders in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares. Total consideration paid at closing reflected the increase in Bar Harbor Bankshare's stock price since the time of the announcement.

The results of Lake Sunapee's operations are included in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income from the date of acquisition. The assets and liabilities in the Lake Sunapee acquisition were recorded at their fair value based on management’s best estimate using information available as of the date of acquisition.


Consideration paid, and fair values of Lake Sunapee’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed, along with the resulting goodwill, are summarized in the following tables:

b.Standards Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial InstrumentsRepresentsThis ASU amends Topic 326, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses to replace the write downcurrent incurred loss accounting model with a current expected credit loss approach (CECL) for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and other commitments to extend credit. The amendments require entities to consider all available relevant information when estimating current expected credit losses, including details about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The resulting allowance for credit losses is to reflect the portion of the book valueamortized cost basis that the entity does not expect to collect. The amendments also eliminate the current accounting model for purchased credit impaired loans and certain off-balance sheet exposures. Additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures are required upon adoption.January 1, 2020Adoption of investmentsthis ASU is expected to their estimatedprimarily change how the Company estimates credit losses on loans with the application of the expected credit loss model. Also, for acquired purchased impaired loans it requires the reclassification of the credit portion of the total remaining fair value based on fair values onadjustment directly to the date of acquisition.
c.Represents the write down of the book value of loans to their estimated fair value based on current interest rates and expected cash flows, which includes an estimate of expected loan loss inherent in the portfolio. The adjustments also includes the reversal of Lake Sunapee Bank's historic allowance for loan losses. Loans that met the criteriaFair value adjustments on purchased credit impaired loans related to interest rates and are being accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30, Loans and Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, had a book value of $23.34 million and have a fair value $18.45 million. Non-impairedadjustments on other acquired loans will continue to be accreted into income over time.
ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to ASU 2016-13
In addition, the Company expects the ASU to change the presentation of credit losses for AFS debt securities through an allowance method rather than as a direct write-off and may allow for recovery of these amounts in the future.
While the CECL model does not apply to available for sale debt securities, the ASU does require entities to record an allowance when recognizing credit losses for available for sale securities with unrealized losses, rather than reduce the amortized cost of the securities by direct write-offs. The guidance will require companies to recognize improvements to estimated credit losses immediately in earnings rather than interest income over time.
The Company is in the process of evaluating and implementing allowance loan loss estimation models to comply with the guidance under this ASU, which may result in a higher allowance for losses then currently recorded under the existing standard.
The ASU should be adopted on a modified retrospective basis. Entities that have loans accounted for under ASC 310-10, Overall, had a book value of $1.20 billion and have a fair value of $1.188 billion. ASC 310-30 loans have a $1.09 million fair value adjustment discount that is accretable in earnings over the weighted average life of three years using the effective yield as determined on the date of acquisition. The effective yield is periodically adjusted for changes in expected flows. ASC 310-10 loans have a $11.40 million fair value adjustment discount that is amortized into expense over the remaining term of the loans using the effective interest method, or a straight-line method if the loan is a revolving credit facility.
d.Represents the adjustment of the book value of buildings and equipment, to their estimated fair value based on appraisals and other methods. The adjustments will be depreciated over the estimated economic lives of the assets.
e.Represents the value of the core deposit base assumed in the acquisition. The core deposit asset was recorded as an identifiable intangible asset and will be amortized using a straight-line method over the average life of the deposit base, which is estimated to be twelve years.
f.Primarily represents the write-off of historical goodwill and unamortized intangibles recorded by Lake Sunapee from prior acquisitions that are not carried over to the Company's balance sheet.  These adjustments are not

accretable into earnings in the statement of income. Also represents the value of customer list intangibles which are accretable into earnings in the statement of income.

Except for collateral dependent loans with deteriorated credit quality, the fair values for loans acquired were estimated using cash flow projections based on the remaining maturity and repricing terms. Cash flows were adjusted by estimating future credit losses and the rate of prepayments. Projected monthly cash flows were then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted market rate for similar loans. To estimate the fair value for collateral dependent loans with deteriorated credit quality, we analyzed the underlying collateral of the loans assuming the fair values of the loans were derived from the eventual sale of the collateral. Those values were discounted using market derived rates of return, with consideration given to the period of time and costs associated with the foreclosure and disposition of the collateral. There was no carryover of the seller’s allowance for credit losses associated with the loans that were acquired in the acquisition as the loans were initially recorded at fair value.

Information about the acquired loan portfolio subject to ASC 310-30 as of January 13, 2017 is, as follows (in thousands):
 ASC 310-30 Loans
Gross contractual receivable amounts at acquisition$23,338
Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (nonaccretable discount)(3,801)
Expected cash flows at acquisition19,537
Interest component of expected cash flows (accretable discount)(1,089)
Fair value of acquired loans$18,448

Direct acquisition and integration costs were expensed as incurred, and totaled $5.9 million during the nine months ending September 30, 2017 and were $812 thousand for the same period of 2016. For the three months ending September 30, 2017 direct acquisition and integration costs totaled $346 thousand and were $320 thousand for the same period of 2016.

Pro Forma Information (unaudited)
The following table presents selected unaudited pro forma financial information reflecting the acquisition of Lake Sunapee Bank Group assuming the acquisition was completed as of January 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma financial information includes adjustments for scheduled amortization and accretion of fair value adjustments recorded at the acquisition. These adjustments would have been different if they had been recorded on January 1, 2016, and they do not include the impact of prepayments. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial results of the Company and Lake Sunapee had the transaction actually been completed at the beginning of the periods presented, nor does it indicate future results for any other interim or full-year period. Pro forma basic and diluted earnings per common share were calculated using the Company's actual weighted-average shares outstanding for the periods presented plus 4.16 million shares issued as a result of the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma information is based on the actual financial statements of the Company and Lake Sunapee for the periods shown until the date of acquisition, at which time Lake Sunapee operations became included in the Company's financial statements. The Company has determined it is impractical to report the amounts of revenue and earnings of the acquired entity since the acquisition date. Due to the integration of its operations with those of the organization, the Company does not record revenue and earnings separately for these operations.

The unaudited pro forma information, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, set forth below reflects adjustments related to amortization and accretion of purchase accounting fair value adjustments and an estimated tax rate of 37.57%. Direct acquisition expenses incurred by the Company during 2017, as noted above, are reversed for the purposes of this unaudited pro forma information. Furthermore, the unaudited pro forma information does not reflect management’s estimate of any revenue-enhancing or anticipated cost-savings that could occur as a result of the acquisition.

Visa Class B Common Shares
The Company was a member of the Visa USA payment network and was issued Class B shares in connection with the Visa Reorganization and the Visa Inc. initial public offering in March 2008. The Visa Class B shares are transferable only under limited circumstances until they can be converted into shares of the publicly traded class of Visa stock. This conversion cannot happen until the settlement of certain litigation, which is indemnified by Visa members. Since its initial public offering, Visa has funded a litigation reserve based upon a change in the conversion ratio of Visa Class B shares into Visa Class A shares. At its discretion, Visa may continue to increase the conversion rate in connection with any settlements in excess of amounts then in escrow for that purpose and reduce the conversion rate to the extent that it adds any funds to the escrow in the future. Based on the existing transfer restriction and the uncertainty of the litigation, the Company has recorded its Visa Class B shares on its statements of condition at zero value for all reporting periods since 2008. At September 30, 2017, the Company owned 11,623 of Visa Class B shares with a then current conversion ratio to Visa Class A shares of 1.648 (or 19,158 Visa Class A shares). Upon termination of the existing transfer restriction and settlement of the litigation, and to the extent that the Company continues to own such Visa Class B shares in the future, the Company expects to record its Visa Class B shares at fair value.

For securities with unrealized losses, the following information was considered in determining that the impairments were not other-than-temporary:

Debt Securities
The Company expects to recover its amortized cost basis on all debt securities in its AFS portfolio. Furthermore, the Company does not intend to sell nor does it anticipate that it will be required to sell any of its securities in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2017,2019, prior to this recovery. The Company’s ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery is supported by the Company’s strong capital and liquidity positions as well as its historically low portfolio turnover.


The following summarizes, by investment security type, the basis for the conclusion that the debt securities in an unrealized loss position within the Company’s AFS were not other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2017:2019:

US Government-sponsored enterprises
At September 30, 2017, 275172 out of the total 789702 securities in the Company’s portfolios of AFS US Government sponsoredGovernment-sponsored enterprises were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented 1.7%1.4% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions.The Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”)positions. The FNMA and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”)FHLMC guarantee the contractual cash flows of all of the Company’s US

government-sponsored Government-sponsored enterprises. The securities are investment grade rated and there were no material underlying credit downgrades during the quarter. All securities are performing.

US Government agenciesagency
At September 30, 2017, 6246 out of the total 208190 securities in the Company’s portfolios of AFS US Government agency securities were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented 1.0% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. The Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) guarantees the contractual cash flows of all of the Company’s US governmentGovernment agency securities. The securities are investment grade rated and there were no material underlying credit downgrades during the quarter. All securities are performing.

Private-labelPrivate label
At September 30, 2017, 8Nine of the total 2620 securities in the Company’s portfolio of AFS private-labelprivate label mortgage-backed securities were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented 3.3%1.9% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. Based upon the foregoing considerations, and the expectation that the Company will receive all of the future contractual cash flows related to the amortized cost on these securities, the Company does not consider there to be any additional other-than-temporary impairment with respect to these securities.

Obligations of states and political subdivisions thereof
At September 30, 2017, 79Nine of the total 262219 securities in the Company’s portfolio of AFS municipal bonds and obligations were in unrealized loss positions. Aggregate unrealized losses represented 3.1%2.5% of the amortized cost of securities in unrealized loss positions. The Company continually monitors the municipal bond sector of the market carefully and periodically evaluates the appropriate level of exposure to the market. At this time, the Company feels the bonds in this portfolio carry minimal risk of default and the Company is appropriately compensated for thatthe risk. There were no material underlying credit downgrades during the quarter. All securities are performing.

Corporate bonds
At September 30, 2017, oneSeven out of 12the total 26 securities in the Company’s portfolio of AFS corporate bonds were in an unrealized loss position. The aggregate unrealized loss represents 0.1%3.0% of the amortized cost of bonds in unrealized loss positions. The Company reviews the financial strength of all of these bonds and has concluded that the amortized cost remains supported by the expected future cash flows of these securities.

Troubled Debt Restructuring Loans
The Company’s loan portfolio also includes certain loans that have been modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR"), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Company’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperformingnon-performing at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months. TDRs are evaluated individually for impairment and may result in a specific allowance amount allocated to an individual loan.








The following tables include the recorded investment and number of modifications identified during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,2018, respectively. The table includes the recorded investment in the loans prior to a modification and also the recorded investment in the loans after the loans were restructured.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, there were no loans that were restructured that had subsequently defaulted during the period.

The evaluation of certain loans individually for specific impairment includes loans that were previously classified as TDRs or continue to be classified as TDRs.

Foreclosure
As of September 30, 2017,2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company maintained foreclosedbank-owned residential real estate property with a fair value of $122 thousand.$2.5 million. Additionally, residential mortgage loans collateralized by real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure as of September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 20162018 totaled $772$931 thousand and $2.4$1.5 million, respectively.

NOTE 4.               ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for an estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision charged to operating expense and reduced by net charge-offs. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when the Company believes collectability has declined to a point where there is a distinct possibility of some loss of principal and interest. While the Company uses the best information available to make the evaluation, future adjustments may be necessary if there are significant changes in conditions.

The allowance is comprised of four distinct reserve components: (1) specific reserves related to loans individually evaluated; (2) quantitative reserves related to loans collectively evaluated; (3) qualitative reserves related to loans collectively evaluated; and (4) a temporal estimate is made for incurred loss emergence period for each loan category within the collectively evaluated pools.

A summary of the methodology employed on a quarterly basis with respect to each of these components in order to evaluate the overall adequacy of the Company's allowance for loan losses is as follows:

Specific Reserve for Loans Individually Evaluated
First, the Company identifies loan relationships having aggregate balances in excess of $150 thousand with potential credit weaknesses. Such loan relationships are identified primarily through the Company's analysis of internal loan evaluations, past due loan reports, TDRs and loans adversely classified. Each loan so identified is then individually evaluated for impairment. Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the original loan agreement. Substantially all impaired loans have historically been collateral dependent, meaning repayment of the loan is expected or is considered to be provided solely from the sale of the loan's underlying collateral. For such loans, the Company measures impairment based on the fair value of the loan's collateral, which is generally determined utilizing current appraisals. A specific reserve is established in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the recorded investment in each impaired loan over the fair value of its underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell. The Company's policy is to re-evaluate the fair value of collateral dependent loans at least every twelve months unless there is a known deterioration in the collateral's value, in which case a new appraisal is obtained.

Purchase credit impaired (“PCI”) loans are collectively evaluated, but are not included in the general reserve as described below. The evaluation of the PCI loans requires continued quarterly assessment of key assumptions and estimates similar to the initial fair value estimate, including changes in the severity of loss, timing and speed of payments, collateral value changes, expected cash flows and other relevant factors. The quarterly assessment is compared to the initial fair value estimate and a determination is made if an adjustment to the allowance for loan loss is deemed necessary.

Quantitative Reserve for Loans Collectively Evaluated
Second, the Company stratifies the loan portfolio into two general business loan pools: substandard (7 risk-rated) and pass-rated (0 to 6 risk-rated) by loan type. Substandard rated loans are subject to higher credit loss rates in the allowance for loan loss calculation. The Company utilizes historical loss rates for commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans assessed by internal risk rating. Historical loss rates on residential real estate property totaled $90 thousand.and consumer loans are not risk graded. Residential real estate and consumer loans are considered as part of the pass-rated portfolio unless removed due to specific reserve evaluation based on past due status and/or other indications of credit deterioration. Quantitative reserves relative to each loan pool are established as follows: for all loan segments an allocation equaling 100% of the respective pool's average 3-year historical net loan charge-off rate (determined based upon the most recent 12 quarters) is applied to the aggregate recorded investment in the pool of loans. Purchased performing loans are collectively evaluated as their own separate category within each loan pool.

Qualitative Reserve for Loans Collectively Evaluated
NOTE 5.               LOAN LOSS ALLOWANCEThird, the Company considers the necessity to adjust the average historical net loan charge-off rates relative to each of the above two loan pools for potential risks factors that could result in actual losses deviating from prior loss experience. Such qualitative risk factors considered are: (1) lending policies and procedures, (2) business conditions, (3) volume and nature of the loan portfolio, (4) experience, ability and depth of lending management, (5) problem loan trends, (6) quality of the Company’s loan review system, (7) concentrations in the loan portfolio, (8) competition, legal, and regulatory environment and (9) collateral coverage and loan-to-value.

Loss Emergence Period for Loans Collectively Evaluated
Fourth, the general allowance related to loans collectively evaluated includes an estimate of incurred losses over an estimated loss emergence period ("LEP"). The LEP is generated utilizing a charge-off look-back analysis, which evaluates the time from the first indication of elevated risk of repayment (or other early event indicating a problem) to eventual charge-off to support the LEP considered in the allowance calculation. This reserving methodology establishes the approximate number of months of LEP that represents incurred losses for each loan portfolio within each portfolio segment in addition to the qualitative reserves.

Activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016 was2018 are, as follows:

Loan Origination/Risk Management: The BankCompany has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. The Bank’s boardCompany’s Board of directorsDirectors reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management and the Bank's boardCompany's Board of directorsDirectors with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrationsconcentration of credit, loan delinquencies, and non-performing loans and potential problem loans. The BankCompany seeks to diversify the loan portfolio as a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions.

Credit Quality Indicators/Classified Loans: In monitoring the credit quality of the portfolio, management applies a credit quality indicator and uses an internal risk rating system to categorize commercial loans. These credit quality indicators range from one through nine, with a higher number correlating to increasing risk of loss. These ratings are used as inputs to the calculation of the allowance for loan losses. Consistent with regulatory guidelines, the BankCompany provides for the classification of loans which are considered to be of lesser quality as special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss (i.e. risk ratedrisk-rated 6, 7, 8 and 9, respectively).

The following are the definitions of the Bank’sCompany’s credit quality indicators:

Pass: Loans within all classes ofthe Company considers in the commercial portfolio segments that are not adversely rated, are contractually current as to principal and interest, and are otherwise in compliance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management believes that there is a low risk of loss related to these loans that are considered pass.pass-rated.

Special mention:Mention: Loans that dothe Company considers having some potential weaknesses, but are deemed to not expose the Bank tocarry levels of risk sufficient to warrant classificationinherent in one of the subsequent categories, but which possess some weaknesses, are designated as special mention. A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. This might include loans which the lending officer may be unable to supervise properlyrequire a higher level of supervision or internal reporting because of: (i) lackdeclining industry trends; (ii) increasing reliance on secondary sources of expertise, inadequate loan agreement; (ii)repayment; (iii) the poor condition of or lack of control

over collateral; or (iii)(iv) failure to obtain proper documentation or any other deviations from prudent lending practices. Economic or market conditions which may, in the future, affect the obligor may warrant special mention of the asset. Loans for which an adverse trend in the borrower's operations or an imbalanced position in the balance sheet which has not reached a point where the liquidation is jeopardized may be included in this classification. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the BankCompany to sufficient risks to warrant classification.

Substandard: The BankLoans theCompany considers a loanas substandard if it isare inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying

capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans include those loans where there is the distinct possibility of some loss of principal, if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans that the Bank classifiesCompany considers as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those loans that are classified as substandard but alsosubstandard. These loans have the added characteristic thatof a well-defined weakness which is inadequately protected by the weaknesses present make collectioncurrent sound worth and paying capacity of borrower or liquidation inof the collateral pledged, if any, and calls into question the collectability of the full onbalance of the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.loan. The possibility of loss is high but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the loan, its classification as loss is deferred until its more exact status is determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral and refinancing plans. The entire amount of the loan might not be classified as doubtful when collection of a specific portion appears highly probable. Loans are generally not classified doubtful for an extended period of time (i.e., over a year).

Loss: Loans that the Bank classifiesCompany considers as losses are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as an asset is not warranted and the uncollectible amounts are charged-off. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. Losses are taken in the period in which they are determined to be uncollectible.

At each date shown, the Company and the Bank met the conditions to be classified as “well capitalized”“well-capitalized” under the relevant regulatory framework. To be categorized as well capitalized,"well-capitalized," an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table above.

Effective January 1, 2015, theThe Company and the Bank becameare subject to the Basel III rule that requires the Company and the Bank to assess their Common equity tier 1 capital to risk weightedrisk-weighted assets and the Company and the Bank each exceed the minimum to be well capitalized. In addition, the final capital rules added a requirement to maintain a minimum conservation buffer, composed of common equity tier 1 capital, of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets, to be phased in over three years and applied to the common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and the Total risk-based capital ratio. Accordingly, banking organizations, on a fully phased in basis no later than"well-capitalized." Effective January 1, 2019 all banking organizations must maintain a minimum Common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 7.0%, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.5% and a minimum Total risk-based capital ratio of 10.5%.

The required minimum conservation buffer began to be phased in incrementally, starting at 0.625% on January 1, 2016 and increasing to 1.25% on January 1, 2017. The buffer will increase to 1.875% on January 1, 2018 and 2.5% on January 1, 2019. The final capital rules impose restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary cash bonus payments if the minimum capital conservation buffer is not met.

At September 30, 2017,2019, the capital levels of both the Company and the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and their regulatory capital ratios were above the minimum levels required to be considered well capitalized"well-capitalized" for regulatory purposes. The capital levels of both the Company and the Bank at September 30, 2017 also exceeded the minimum capital requirements including the currently applicable capital conservation buffer of 0.625%.

NOTE 10.9.    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

As part of its overall asset and liability management strategy, the BankCompany periodically uses derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by interest rate volatility.  The Bank’sCompany’s interest rate risk management strategy involves modifying the re-pricing characteristics of certain assets or liabilities so thatthe changes in interest rates do not have a significant effect on net interest income.

The Company recognizes its derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value.  On the date the derivative instrument is entered into, the BankCompany designates whether the derivative is part of a hedging relationship (i.e., cash flow or fair value hedge). The BankCompany formally documents relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. The BankCompany also assesses,

both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in cash flows or fair values of hedged items.

Changes in fair value of derivative instruments that are highly effective and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income or loss. Any ineffective portion is recorded in earnings. The BankCompany discontinues hedge accounting when it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes of the hedged risk on the hedged item, or management determines that the designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.

Cash flow hedges

Interest rate cap agreements
In 2014, interest rate cap agreements were purchased to limit the Bank’sCompany’s exposure to rising interest rates on four rolling, three-month borrowings indexed to three monththree-month LIBOR.  Under the terms of the agreements, the BankCompany paid total premiums of $4,566$4.6 million for the right to receive cash flow payments if 3-monththree-month LIBOR rises above the caps of 3.00%, thus effectively ensuring interest expense on the borrowings at maximum rates of 3.00% for the duration of the agreements. The interest rate cap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges.  The fair values of the interest rate cap agreements are included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value, representing unrealized gains or losses, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax.  The premiums paid on the interest rate cap agreements are being recognized as increases in interest expense over the duration of the agreements using the caplet method.


Interest rate swap on deposits
In March 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate swap on brokered deposits (the "SWAP") to limit its exposure to rising interest rates over a five year term. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company pays a fixed rate of 2.461% for a notional amount of $50.0 million, and the financial institution counterparty pays interest on the three-month LIBOR rate. The Company designated the SWAP as a cash flow hedge and the fair value is included in other liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value, representing unrealized gains or losses, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax.

Economic hedges
The Company utilizes forward sale commitments to hedge interest rate risk and the associated effects on the fair value of interest rate lock commitments and loans originated for sale. The forward sale commitments are accounted for as derivatives with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings.  The Company typically uses mandatory delivery contracts, which are loan sale agreements where the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price on or before a specified date. Generally, the Company may enter into mandatory delivery contracts shortly after the loan closes with a customer.

Non-hedging derivatives

Interest rate lock commitments
The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) for residential mortgage loans, which commit the Company to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specific interest rate and within a specified period of time. IRLCs that relate to the origination of residential mortgage loans that will be held for sale are considered as derivative financial instruments under applicable accounting guidance. Outstanding IRLCs expose the Company to the risk that the market price of the mortgage loans underlying the commitments may decline due to increases in mortgage interest rates from inception of the rate lock to the funding of the loan. The IRLCs are free-standing derivatives which are carried at fair value with changes recorded in noninterestnon-interest income in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Changes in the fair value of IRLCs subsequent to inception are based on changes in the fair value of the underlying loan resulting from the fulfillment of the commitment and changes in the probability thatwhen the loan will fund within the terms of the commitment, which is affected primarily by changes in interest rates and the passage of time.

Customer loan derivatives
The Company enters into customer loan derivatives to facilitate the risk management strategies for commercial banking customers. The Company mitigates this risk by entering into equal and offsetting loan swap agreements with highly rated third-party financial institutions. The loan swap agreements are free-standing derivatives and are recorded at fair value in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The Company is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institutional counterparties; however, the Company does not offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes. The master netting arrangements provide for a single net settlement of all loan swap agreements, as well as collateral or cash funds, in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Collateral is provided by cash or securities received or posted by the counterparty with net liability positions, respectively, in accordance with contract thresholds. Currently, the Company has posted cash of $10.7 million with the counterparty.

Securities Available for Sale: All securities and major categories of securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from independent pricing providers. The fair value measurements used by the pricing providers consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market maker quotes and live trading systems. If quoted prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using matrix pricing models, or other model-based valuation techniques requiring observable inputs other than quoted prices such as market pricing spreads, credit information, callable features, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, default rates, and the securities’ terms and conditions, among other things.


Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Cash Flow Hedges. The valuation of the Company's cash flow hedges are obtained from a third party. The pricing analysis is based on observable inputs for the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and interest rate curves. The inputs used to value the Company's cash flow hedges are all classified as Level 2 measurements.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments. The Company enters into IRLCs for residential mortgage loans, which commit the Company to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specific interest rate and within a specified period of time.  The estimated fair value of commitments to originate residential mortgage loans for sale is based on quoted prices for similar loans in active markets. However, this value is adjusted by a factor which considers the likelihood that theof a loan in a lock position will ultimately close. The closing ratio is derived from the Bank’sCompany’s internal data and is adjusted using significant management judgment. As such, IRLCs are classified as Level 3 measurements.

Forward Sale Commitments. The Company utilizes forward sale commitments as economic hedges against potential changes in the values of the IRLCs and loans originated for sale. The fair values of the Company’s mandatory delivery loan sale commitments are determined similarly to the IRLCs using quoted prices in the market place that are observable.  However, closing ratios included in the calculation are internally generated and are based on management’s judgment and prior experience, which are not considered factors that are not observable.observable factors. As such, mandatory delivery forward commitments are classified as Level 3 measurements.

Customer Loan Derivatives. The valuation of the Company’s customer loan derivatives is obtained from a third-party pricing service and is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The pricing analysis is based on observable inputs for the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and interest rate curves.  The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of master netting arrangements and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its customer loan derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2019, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

There were no Level 1 or Level 2 non-recurring fair value measurements for the periods ended September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016.2018.

Impaired Loans.loans. Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Company records non-recurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those loans. Non-recurring adjustments can also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated when establishing the allowance for credit losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan and, as a result, the carrying value of the loan less the calculated valuation amount does not necessarily represent the fair value of the loan. Real estate collateral is typically valued using appraisals or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions generally observable in the marketplace. However, the choice of observable data is subject to significant judgment, and there are often adjustments based on judgment in order to make observable data comparable and to consider the impact of time, the condition of properties, interest rates, and other market factors on current values. Additionally, commercial real estate appraisals frequently involve discounting of projected cash flows, which relies inherently on unobservable data. Therefore, nonrecurringnon-recurring fair value measurement adjustments that relaterelating to real estate collateral have generally been classified as Level 3. Estimates of fair value for other collateral that supportssupporting commercial loans are generally based on assumptions not observable in the marketplace and therefore such valuations have been classified as Level 3. 

Capitalized loan servicing rightsA loan servicing right asset represents the amount by which the present value of the estimated future net cash flows to be received from servicing loans exceed adequate compensation for performing the servicing. The fair value of loan servicing rights is estimated using a present value cash flow model. The most important assumptions used in the valuation model are the anticipated rate of the loan prepayments and discount rates. Adjustments are only recorded when the discounted cash flows derived from the valuation model are less than the carrying value of the asset. Although some assumptions in determining fair value are based on standards used by market participants, some are based on unobservable inputs and therefore are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Other real estate owned (“OREO”). OREO results from the foreclosure process on residential or commercial loans issued by the Bank.Company. Upon assuming the real estate, the Company records the property at the fair value of the asset less the estimated sales costs. Thereafter, OREO properties are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less the estimated sales costs. OREO fair values are primarily determined based on Level 3 data including sales comparables and appraisals.

Assets held for sale. Assets held for sale, identified as part of the Company’s strategic review and branch optimization exercise, were transferred from premises and equipment at the lower of amortized cost or fair value less the estimated sales costs. Assets held for sale fair values are primarily determined based on Level 3 data including sales comparables and appraisals.

Other than as discussed above, the following methods and assumptions were used by management to estimate the fair value of significant classes of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.


Cash and cash equivalents. Carrying value is assumed to represent fair value for cash and cash equivalents that have original maturities of ninety90 days or less.

FHLBB bankFHLB stock and restricted securities. Carrying value approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the issuers.

Cash surrender value of life insurance policies. Carrying value approximates fair value.

Loans, net.The carryingfair value of loans are calculated on an individual basis with consideration given to the loans inloans' underlying characteristics, including account types, remaining terms, annual interest rates or coupons, interest types, timing of principal and interest payments, current market rates, risk ratings, credit ratings and remaining balances. A discounted cash flow model is used to estimate the loan portfolio is based on the cash flows of the loans discounted over their respective loan origination rates. The origination rates are adjusted for substandard and special mention loans to factor the impact of declines in the loan’s credit standing. The fair value of the loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using assumptions for the current interestcoupon rates, at which similar loans with similar terms would be made to borrowersremaining maturities, prepayment speeds, liquidity premiums, projected default probabilities, loss given defaults, and estimates of similar credit quality.prevailing discount rates. 

Accrued interest receivable. Carrying value approximates fair value.

Deposits. The fair value of demand, non-interest bearing checking, savings and money market deposits is determined as the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using market rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowed funds. The fair value of borrowed funds is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using market rates for similar borrowings.  Such funds include all categories of debt and debentures in the table above.

Subordinated borrowings. The Company utilizes a pricing service along with internal models to estimate the valuation of its junior subordinated debentures. The junior subordinated debentures re-price every ninety90 days.

Off-balance-sheet financial instruments. Off-balance-sheet financial instruments includeincluding standby letters of credit and other financial guarantees and commitments are considered immaterial to the Company’s financial statements.

Trust Management Fees.
The trust management business generates revenue through a range of fiduciary services including trust and estate administration, wealth advisory, and investment management to individuals, businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and municipalities. Revenue from these services are generally recognized over time and is typically based on a time elapsed measure of progress. Certain fees, such as bill paying fees, distribution fees, real estate sale fees, and supplemental tax service fees, are recorded as revenue at a point in time upon the completion of the service.

Financial Services Fees.
Bar Harbor Financial Services is a branch office of Infinex, an independent registered broker dealer offering securities and insurance products not affiliated with the Company or its subsidiaries. The Company has a revenue sharing agreement with Infinex for any financial service fee income generated. Financial services fees are recognized at a point in time upon the completion of monthly service requirements.

Interchange Fees.
The Company earns interchange fees from transaction fees that merchants pay whenever a customer uses a debit card to make a purchase from their store. The fees are paid to the card-issuing bank to cover handling costs, fraud, bad debt costs and the risk involved in approving the payment. Interchange fees are generally recognized as revenue at a point in time upon the completion of a debit card transaction.

Customer Deposit Fees.
The Customer Deposit business offers a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates, fee schedules and other terms, which are designed to meet the customer's financial needs. Additional depositor-related services provided to customers include ATM, bank-by-phone, internet banking, internet bill pay, mobile banking, and other cash management services which include remote deposit capture, ACH origination, and wire transfers. These customer deposit fees are generally recognized by the Company at a point in time upon the completion of the service.

Other Customer Service Fees.
The Company has certain incentive and referral fee arrangements with independent third parties in which fees are earned for new account activity, product sales, or transaction volume generated for the respective third parties. The Company also earns a percentage of the fees generated from third-party credit card plans promoted through the Bank. Revenue from these incentive and referral fee arrangements are recognized over time using the right to invoice measure of progress.

Contract Balances from Contracts with Customers
The following table provides information about contract assets or receivables and contract liabilities or deferred revenues from contracts with customers:
 (in thousands) Balance at September 30, 2019 Balance at December 31, 2018
Balances from contracts with customers only:     
Other Assets $1,898
 $2,866
Other Liabilities 3,179
 4,923

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in contract assets or receivables and contract liabilities or deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. For most customer contracts, fees are deducted directly from customer accounts and, therefore, there is no associated impact on the accounts receivable balance. For certain types of service contracts, the Company has an unconditional right to consideration under the service contract and an accounts receivable balance is recorded for services completed. When consideration is received, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract, a contract liability is recorded. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue after control of the products or services is transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract
The Company currently expenses contract costs for processing and administrative fees for debit card transactions. The Company also expenses custody fees and transactional costs associated with securities transactions as well as third party tax preparation fees. The Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 340-40-25-4, whereby the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

NOTE 12.    LEASES

A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases” and all subsequent ASUs modifying ASC 842. For the Company, ASC 842 primarily affects the accounting treatment for operating lease agreements where the Company is the lessee.

Lessee Accounting
Substantially all of the leases pursuant to which the Company is the lessee are comprised of real estate property for branches, ATM locations, and office space with terms extending through 2040. All leases are classified as operating leases, and therefore, were previously not recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. With the adoption of ASC 842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset with a corresponding lease liability using the modified retrospective approach. The total of ROU assets and lease liabilities were $9.0 million as of January 1, 2019.

The Company has elected the following practical expedients in conjunction with implementation of ASC 842 as follows:
Package of practical expedients:
Lease classification as an operating lease under the prior standards is grandfathered.
Re-evaluation of embedded leases evaluated under the prior standards is not required.
No re-assessment of previously recorded initial direct lease costs.
Election to exclude short-term leases (i.e., leases with initial terms of twelve months or less), from capitalization on the consolidated balance sheets.

The following table presents the consolidated statements of condition classification of the Company’s ROU assets and lease liabilities as of September 30, 2019:
 (in thousands)   September 30, 2019
Lease Right-of-Use Assets Classification  
Operating lease right-of-use assets Other assets $8,447
     
Lease Liabilities    
Operating lease liabilities Other liabilities 8,524

The calculated amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities in the table above are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used for the present value of the minimum lease payments. The Company’s lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Company’s discretion. If at lease inception, the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. Regarding the discount rate, ASC 842 requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term. For operating leases existing prior to January 1, 2019, the rate for the original lease term as of January 1, 2019 was used.
September 30, 2019

Operating leases9.18
Weighted-average discount rate

The following table represents lease costs and other lease information. As the Company elected, for all classes of underlying assets, not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead to account for them as a single lease component, the variable lease cost primarily represents variable payments such as real estate taxes, common area maintenance and utilities.

These forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties, including among other things, changes in general economic and business conditions, increased competitive pressures, changes in the interest rate environment, legislative and regulatory change, changes in the financial markets, and other risks and uncertainties disclosed from time to time in documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and the Risk Factors in Item 1A of this report. Because of these and other uncertainties, the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company's past results of operations do not necessarily indicate future results.

Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements relate to the completed acquisition of Lake Sunapee Bank Group. These additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include difficulties in achieving cost savings from the acquisition or in achieving such cost savings within the expected time frame and difficulties in integrating the Company and Lake Sunapee Bank Group, increased competitive pressures, changes in the interest rate environment, changes in general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes that adversely affect the business in which the Company is engaged, changes in the securities markets and other risks and uncertainties disclosed from time to time in documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

No undue reliance should be placed on any of the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they were made. The Company is not undertaking an obligation to update forward-looking statements, even though its situation may change in the future, except as required under federal securities law. The Company qualifies all of its forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.September 30, 2019:

(3)All performance ratios are annualized and are based on average balance sheet amounts, where applicable.
(4)(3)Fully taxable equivalent considers the impact of tax advantagedtax-advantaged investment securities and loans.
(5)Generally accepted accounting principles require that loans acquired in a business combination be recorded at fair value, whereas loans from business activities are recorded at cost. The fair value of loans acquired in a business combination includes expected loan losses, and there is no loan loss allowance recorded for these loans at the time of acquisition. Accordingly, the ratio of the loan loss allowance to total loans is reduced as a result of the existence of such loans, and this measure is not directly comparable to prior periods. Similarly, net loan charge-offs are normally reduced for loans acquired in a business combination since these loans are recorded net of expected loan losses. Therefore, the ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans is reduced as a result of the existence of such loans, and this measure is not directly comparable to prior periods. Other institutions may have loans acquired in a business combination, and therefore there may be no direct comparability of these ratios between and among other institutions.
(4) Earning assets includes non-accruing loans and securities are valued at amortized cost.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 AND DECEMBER 31, 2018

Summary
Total assets increased $4.0 million to $3.6 billion at the end of the third quarter 2019 compared with year-end 2018. Loans increased to $2.6 billion from $2.5 billion at year-end 2018 on growth from commercial loans offset in part by lower residential loans primarily due to higher secondary market sales. Securities decreased $58.4 to $703.1 million at the end of the third quarter from year-end 2018 which includes the impact of the executed deleveraging strategy in the third quarter. Asset quality metrics remain strong with an allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio of 0.60% with a coverage ratio to non-accruing loans at 92%, up from 76% as of year-end 2018. The loan to deposit ratio

increased to 103% from 100% at year-end 2018 given robust loan growth net of deposit growth. The Company’s book value per share increased 8%, on annualized basis, in the first nine months of 2019 from year-end 2018.

Securities
Securities totaled $703.1 million in the third quarter 2019 and $761.5 million at year-end 2018 representing 19% and 21% of total assets, respectfully. Those ratios are within the tolerance range of the Company’s investment policy and the decrease is the result of the balance sheet deleveraging strategy with opportunistic sales and natural run-off. Securities purchased in 2019 included $52.6 million of mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by US Government-sponsored enterprises, $24.0 million of corporate bonds, and a net $8.2 million decrease in FHLB stock. The purchases were offset by sales of $68.0 million, maturities, calls and pay-downs of amortizing securities of $80.5 million, and a $21.7 million increase in fair value. The increase in fair value was primarily caused by lower long-term interest rates at the end of the third quarter 2019 as compared to year-end 2018. The weighted average yield on the Company’s security profile as of September 30, 2019 was 3.44% for the quarter compared to 3.28% at year-end 2018. At the end of the third quarter 2019, securities held by the Company had a weighted average life of 4.3 years and a duration of 2.9 years compared to a weighted average life of 5.2 years and a duration of 3.9 years at the end of 2018, respectively.

Loans
Total loans at September 30, 2019 were $2.6 billion, an increase of $87.1 million or 4.7% on an annualized basis, from year-end 2018. Commercial real estate grew significantly during 2019 at a rate of 15.7% due to execution of the Company’s growing pipeline across New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine and loan production office centered in Portland, Maine. Residential loans were flat in the first nine months of 2019 primarily due to higher sales in the secondary market given the overall rate environment and initiatives around profit as fee income is central to the Company’s strategic focus. Yields also increased among all product lines as variable rate loans repriced to higher levels benefiting from the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) rate hikes in 2018.

Asset Quality
Asset quality metrics remained favorable in the first nine months of 2019. The allowance for loan losses increased to $15.4 million from $13.9 million at year-end 2018 due to loan growth offset by lower specific reserves on fewer non-accruing loans. Non-accruing loans decreased $1.6 million in 2019 as the Company benefited from favorable settlements of several credit relationships that approximated the carrying values of the loans. These improvements decreased the ratio of non-accruing loans to total loans to 0.65% from 0.73% at the end of 2018 and decreased the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets to 0.53% from 0.57% at the end of 2018.

Deposits and Borrowings
Total deposits increased $10.3 million to $2.5 billion from year-end 2018. Non-maturity deposits increased $40.5 million from new accounts and seasonally high balances. New non-maturity deposit accounts opened totaled 3,457 in the third quarter 2019 compared to 2,295 in the fourth quarter 2018.  Time deposits decreased $30.1 million, reflecting the shift between time deposits to money market accounts as the interest rate environment changed in 2019. The average cost of this year. The decisiondeposits increased to sell was driven1.33% from 1.12% in the fourth quarter 2018 reflecting the FRB rate hike in December 2018.  Total borrowings decreased by $39.0 as a result of the balance sheet deleveraging strategy.  Borrowing costs are 2.62% in 2019 up from 2.53% in the fourth quarter 2018 as a result of the previously mentioned rate hike offset by the third quarter deleveraging strategy.

The notional balance of derivative financial instruments increased to $499.1 million at the end of the third quarter 2019 from $182.2 million at year-end 2018. The increase includes a $50.0 million notional amount related to an interest rate swap on brokered certificate of deposits to limit the Company’s focus on its core banking areas and investments that representexposure to rising interest rates over a five-year term.

These non-operating items consist primarily of acquisition, conversion,earnings in the third quarter 2019 totaled $7.3 million or $0.47 diluted earnings per share and net gains realized from sales of assets from the Company’s security portfolio. The Company views its acquisition related costs as part of the economic investment for its acquisition.

Third quarter 2017 GAAP net income was $0.56$9.0 million or $0.58 diluted earnings per share in 2017the same period of 2018. Both net income and adjusted earnings in the third quarter 2019 benefited from higher yields on earning assets and non-interest income growth, offset by a higher cost of funds.

The Company reported year to date net income of $18.4 million or $1.18 per share, compared to $0.40with $25.3 million or $1.63 per share in 2016.the same period of 2018. Adjusted net income increasedearnings decreased to $0.57$20.9 million, or $1.35 per share from $0.34 for these respective periods. Results increased due to expanded operations and improved profitability. GAAP results in the current year include charges related to the Lake Sunapee Bank Group acquisition, and prior year net income benefited from gains from sales of securities.

On a year-to-date basis, GAAP net incomecompared with $25.8 million, or $1.66 per share, was $1.27 in 2017 compared to $1.35 in 2016. Adjusted earnings increased to $1.52 per share from $1.11 for these respective periods. These changes largely reflectedreflect the same factors and trends discussed above that drove third quarter earnings growth.

quarterly net income. The return on assets ratio during the first nine months of 2019 was 0.68% compared to 0.96% in the prior year due to lower net income and a higher average asset base. Adjusted return on assets (non-GAAP measure) was 0.77% for the first nine months of 2019 compared to 0.98% in the prior year. Return on equity in the first nine months of 2019 decreased to 6.37% from 9.54% in the prior year due to lower net income and growth in the average equity balance. Correspondingly, adjusted return on assets improved on a year-over-year basis while respective GAAP basis performance metrics variedequity (non-GAAP measure) was 7.25% for the first nine months of 2019 compared to 9.72% in the past five quarters depending upon acquisition related charges and gains on security sales. The Company’s profitability has benefited from both a higher non-interest income as well as improved efficiency. Operational enhancements in 2017 are reflected in the Company’s efficiency ratio trend, which started in the first quarter at 62%, but then improved to 55% in second quarter and 54% in the third quarter. The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that compares adjusted expenses and revenues to assess how well the Company is managing its costs. Higher ratios in prior periods represent gradual investments made in infrastructure and key employees to support operations across a broader footprint and larger revenue producing institution.

The Company continues to focus on non-interest income as the key to higher profitability and is currently in the process of expanding treasury management services for customers. A roll-out of enhanced product offerings is anticipated by the end of 2017. The Company views investments in fee income businesses such as trust, secondary marketing mortgage operations, and treasury management services as vehicles to expand return on assets.year.

Net Interest Income
Third quarter net interest income increased year-over-year by $12.5was $22.4 million to $23.5 million. The increase was driven by a $1.5 billion increase in average earning assets, which includes organic growth and benefit of the Lake Sunapee Bank Group acquisition in the first quarter 2017.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND DECEMBER 31, 2016

Summary
Total assets increased to $3.5 billion as of September 30, 2017 from $1.8 billion at year end 2016. All major categories of assets, liabilities and equity increased due to the acquired balances which as of the acquisition date included $1.2 billion in loans, $155.6 million in securities, $1.2 billion in deposits, and $182 million in equity as a result of the issuance of common shares of the Company to Lake Sunapee shareholders. The loan to deposit ratio improved to 107% from 108% at year-end 2016 as loan growth was funded by seasonally higher deposit balances.
The Company's book value per share increased to $22.90 from $17.19 at the end of 2016 primarily due to the shares issued and net assets acquired in the first quarter 2017 in connection with the acquisition. Conversely, the Company’s tangible book value (non-GAAP measure) decreased to $15.84 from $16.61 at year-end 2016. The dilution is primarily due to the net impact of the additional shares issued with acquisition and goodwill recorded as part of the transaction. However, the Company has a strong quarterly trend in GAAP net income, which added tangible book value per share of $0.57, $0.43, and $0.27 during the third, second, and first quarters, respectively.

Asset quality continues to improve as the ratio of non-accruing loans to total loans decreased to 0.28% in the third quarter from 0.58% at year-end 2016. The ratio of net charge-offs to total loans remain close to zero in past five quarters ending the third quarter at 2 basis points.

Securities
Total securities increased $201.4 million which includes securities acquired from Lake Sunapee Bank Group and $146.2 million in securities purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Securities purchased included $119.2 million of mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by US Government-sponsored enterprises, $19.6 million of corporate bonds, and $7.4 million of FHLBB stock. The increase was offset by $105.5 million of maturities, calls and pay-downs of amortizing securities. The securities portfolio continues to be a strong source of liquidity for the Company and is comprised primarily of highly rated mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises and U.S. Government agencies, obligations of state and political subdivisions thereof and FHLBB stock. The Company continues to evaluate the securities portfolio in response to established asset/liability management objectives, changing market conditions and the level of interest rate risk to which we are exposed.

Loans
The acquisition of Lake Sunapee Bank Group increased the legal lending limit of the Bank and expanded the lending area across all three of the northern New England states which resulted in organic growth in the loan portfolio. Excluding the impact of the acquired balances, total loans increased during the nine month period of 2017 by 12.2% on an annualized basis with 20.5% annualized growth in commercial loans led mostly by commercial and industrial loans.

Allowance for loan losses
During the nine months ending September 30, 2017, the allowance for loan losses increased $1.5 million to $11.9 million, which is due to the increase in business activity loans and lower charge-off activity reflecting improved asset quality. The determination of the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting estimate. The Company considers the allowance for loan losses appropriate to cover probable losses which can be reasonably estimated in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. Under accounting standards for business combinations, acquired loans are recorded at fair value with no loan loss allowance on the date of acquisition. An allowance for loan loss is recorded by the Company for the emergence of new probable and estimable losses on acquired loans which were not impaired as of the acquisition date. Because of the accounting for acquired loans, some measures of the loan loss allowance are not comparable to periods prior to the acquisition date or to peer measures.

Deposits
Excluding the impact of acquired balances, total deposits increased 10.6% on annualized basis as of September 30, 2017 when compared to December 31, 2016. Core deposits are still the primary funding source for loan growth and the Company took on additional FHLBB borrowings in order to fund additional loan growth in the period. Historically, the Bank's deposit market area has been seasonal, with lower deposits in the winter and spring months and higher deposits in the summer and autumn months; however, this seasonality is less present in the expanded deposit market areas of New Hampshire and Vermont.

Borrowings
Total borrowings increased by $232.0 million during the first nine months of 2017, of which $175.7 million was assumed from the acquisition. Excluding the impact of the acquisition, the increase was mostly in short term FHLBB advances to fund loans and investments during the first half of the year.

Equity
Excluding the $181.9 million of common stock of the Company issued to Lake Sunapee shareholders, total equity increased by $14.8 million, or 9.4% during 2017. Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased by $2.9 million primarily due to an improvement in net after-tax fair value of available for sale securities. The improvement is related to an overall decrease in market yields since year-end 2016.

The Company evaluates changes in tangible book value, a non-GAAP financial measure which is a commonly considered valuation metric used by the investment community and which parallels some regulatory capital measures. Tangible book value increased to $244.4 million as of September 30, 2017 from $151.0 million at year-end 2016. The increase is due to the share issuance offset by goodwill and other intangible assets recorded for the Lake Sunapee Bank Group acquisition in the first quarter 2017. The Lake Sunapee Bank Group acquisition resulted in a $95.3 million increase in goodwill. The Company’s ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets stood at 7.26% at the end of the third quarter, compared to 8.65% at the end of 2016.

The Company and the Bank remained well capitalized under regulatory guidelines at period-end.


Liquidity and Cash Flows
Liquidity is measured by the Company’s ability to meet short-term cash needs at a reasonable cost or minimal loss. The Company seeks to obtain favorable sources of liabilities and to maintain prudent levels of liquid assets in order to satisfy varied liquidity demands. Besides serving as a funding source for maturing obligations, liquidity provides flexibility in responding to customer initiatedcustomer-initiated needs. Many factors affect the Company’s ability to meet liquidity needs,

including variations in the markets served by its network of offices, its mix of assets and liabilities, reputation and credit standing in the marketplace, and general economic conditions.

The Bank actively manages its liquidity position through target ratios established under its Asset LiabilityAsset-Liability Management Policy. Continual monitoring of these ratios, bothby using historical data and through forecasts under multiple rate and stress scenarios, allows the Bank to employ strategies necessary to maintain adequate liquidity. The Bank’s policy is to maintain a liquidity position of at least 4% of total assets. A portion of the Bank’s deposit base has been historically seasonal in nature, with balances typically declining in the winter months through late spring, during which period the Bank’s liquidity position tightens.

The Bank uses a basic surplus model to measure its liquidity over 30 and 90-day time horizons. The relationship between liquid assets and short-term liabilities that are vulnerable to non-replacement are routinely monitored. The Bank’s policy is to maintain a liquidity position of at least 4% of total assets. At September 30, 2017, liquidity, as measured by the basic surplus model, was 6.6% over the 30-day horizon and 10.8% over the 90-day horizon.

The Bank also had capacity to borrow funds on a secured basis utilizing the Borrower in CustodyBorrower-in-Custody program and the Discount Window at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (the “FRB”).FRB. At September 30, 2017,2019, the Bank’s available secured line of credit at the FRB stood at $114.6$107.7 million or 3.3%2.98% of the Bank’s total assets. The Bank also has access to the national brokered deposit market, and has used this funding source to bolster its on balance sheet liquidity position.

The Bank maintains a liquidity contingency plan approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors. This plan addresses the steps that would be taken in the event of a liquidity crisis, and identifies other sources of liquidity available to the Company. Company management believes that the level of liquidity is sufficient to meet current and future funding requirements. However, changes in economic conditions, including consumer savings habits and availability or access to the brokered deposit market could potentially have a significant impact on the Company’s liquidity position.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company is, from time to time, a party to certain off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, that may be material to investors.

The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to standby letters of credit whereby the Bank guarantees the obligations or performance of certain customers. These letters of credit are sometimes issued in support of third-party debt. The risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in extending loan facilities to customers, and they are subject to the same origination, portfolio maintenance and management procedures in effect to monitor other credit products. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon issuance of a standby letter of credit, is based upon management's credit evaluation of the customer.

The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements have not changed materially since previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 or our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.


APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q and in the most recent Form 10-K. Please see those policies in conjunction with this discussion. The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Company conform, in all material respects, to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and to general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. While the Company bases estimates on historical experience, current information and other factors deemed to be relevant, actual results could differ from those estimates.

The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in future periods. Please see those policies in conjunction with this discussion. Management believes that the following policies would be considered critical under the SEC’s definition:

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses represents probable credit losses that are inherent in the loan portfolio at the financial statement date and which may be estimated. Management uses historical information, as well as current economic data, to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses as it is affected by changing economic conditions and various external factors, which may impact the portfolio in ways currently unforeseen. Although management believes that it uses appropriate available information to establish the allowance for loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary if certain future events occur that may cause actual results to differ from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. Conditions in the local economy and real estate values could require the Company to increase provisions for loan losses, which would negatively impact earnings.

Acquired Loans: Loans that the Company acquired in business combinations are initially recorded at fair value with no carryover of the related allowance for creditloan losses. Determining the fair value of the loans involves estimating the

amount and timing of principal and interest cash flows initially expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at an appropriate market rate of interest. Going forward, the Company continues to evaluate reasonableness of expectations for the timing and the amount of cash to be collected. Subsequent decreases in expected cash flows may result in changes in the amortization or accretion of fair market value adjustments, and in some cases may result in the loan being considered impaired. For collateral dependent loans with deteriorated credit quality, the Company estimates the fair value of the underlying collateral of the loans. These values are discounted using market derived rates of return, with consideration given to the period of time and costs associated with the foreclosure and disposition of the collateral.

Income Taxes: Significant management judgment is required in determining income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. The realization of the net deferred tax asset generally depends upon future levels of taxable ordinary income, taxable capital gain income, and the existence of prior years' taxable income, to which carry back refund claims could be made. A valuation allowance would be established for deferred tax assets that management estimates are more likely than not to be unrealizable based on available evidence at the time the estimate is made. There was no valuation allowance as of September 30, 2017.

Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets: Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets are recorded as a result of business acquisitions and combinations. These assets are evaluated for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. When these assets are evaluated for impairment, if the carrying amount exceeds fair value, an impairment charge is recorded to income. The fair value is based on observable market prices, when practicable. Other valuation techniques may be used when market prices are unavailable, including estimated discounted cash flows and analysis of market pricing multiples. These types of analyses contain uncertainties because they require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to

estimate industry economic factors and the profitability of future business strategies. In the event of future changes in fair value, the Company may be exposed to an impairment charge that could be material.

Determination of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Securities: The Company evaluates debt and equity securities within the Company's available for sale for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI)("OTTI"), at least quarterly. If the fair value of a debt security is below the amortized cost basis of the security, OTTI is required to be recognized if any of the following are met: (1) the Company intends to sell the security; (2) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) for debt securities, the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. For all impaired debt securities that the Company intends to sell, or more likely than not will be required to sell, the full amount of the loss is recognized as OTTI through earnings. Credit-related OTTI for all other impaired debt securities is recognized through earnings. Noncredit related OTTI for such debt securities is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. In evaluating its marketable equity securities portfolios for OTTI, the Company considers its intent and ability to hold an equity security to recovery of its cost basis in addition to various other factors, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost and the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer. Any OTTI on marketable equity securities is recognized immediately through earnings. Should actual factors and conditions differ materially from those expected by management, the actual realization of gains or losses on investment securities could differ materially from the amounts recorded in the financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial instruments and to determine fair value disclosures. Trading assets, securities available for sale, and derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, or to establish a loss allowance or write-down based on the fair value of impaired assets. Further, the notes to financial statements include information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the valuation methodologies used and its impact to earnings. For financial instruments not recorded at fair value, the notes to financial statements disclose the estimate of their fair value. Due to the judgments and uncertainties involved in the estimation process, the estimates could result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.



ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates/prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting the Company. Other types of market risk do not arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities.

The responsibility for interest rate risk management oversight is the function of the Bank’s Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”), chaired by the Chief Financial Officer and composed of various members of senior management. ALCO meets regularly to review balance sheet structure, formulate strategies in light of current and expected economic conditions, adjust product prices as necessary, implement policy, monitor liquidity, and review performance against guidelines established to control exposure to the various types of inherent risk.

Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk can be defined as an exposure to movement in interest rates that could have an adverse impact on the Bank's net interest income. Interest rate risk arises from the imbalance in the re-pricing, maturity and or cash flow characteristics of assets and liabilities. Management's objectives are to measure, monitor and develop strategies in response to the interest rate risk profile inherent in the Bank's balance sheet. The objectives in managing the Bank's balance sheet are to preserve the sensitivity of net interest income to actual or potential changes in interest rates, and to enhance profitability through strategies that promote sufficient reward for understood and controlled risk.

The Bank's interest rate risk measurement and management techniques incorporate the re-pricing and cash flow attributes of balance sheet and off-balance sheet instruments as each relate to current and potential changes in interest rates. The level of interest rate risk, measured in terms of the potential future effect on net interest income, is determined through the use of modeling and other techniques under multiple interest rate scenarios. Interest rate risk is evaluated in depth on a quarterly basis and reviewed by ALCO and the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Bank's Asset Liability Management Policy, approved annually by the Bank’s Board of Directors, establishes interest rate risk limits in terms of variability of net interest income under rising, flat, and decreasing rate scenarios. It is the role of the ALCO to evaluate the overall risk profile and to determine actions to maintain and achieve a posture consistent with policy guidelines.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Modeling: The Bank utilizes an interest rate risk model widely recognized in the financial industry to monitor and measure interest rate risk. The model simulates the behavior of interest income and expense for all balance sheet and off-balance sheet instruments, under different interest rate scenarios together with a dynamic future balance sheet. Interest rate risk is measured in terms of potential changes in net interest income based upon shifts in the yield curve.

The interest rate risk sensitivity model requires that assets and liabilities be broken down into components as to fixed, variable, and adjustable interest rates, as well as other homogeneous groupings, which are segregated as to maturity and type of instrument. The model includes assumptions about how the balance sheet is likely to evolve through time and in different interest rate environments. The model uses contractual re-pricing dates for variable products, contractual maturities for fixed rate products, and product-specific assumptions for deposit accounts, such as money market accounts, that are subject to re-pricing based on current market conditions. Re-pricing margins are also determined for adjustable rate assets and incorporated in the model. Investment securities and borrowings with call provisions are examined on an individual basis in each rate environment to estimate the likelihood of a call. Prepayment assumptions for mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities are developed from industry median estimates of prepayment speeds, based upon similar coupon ranges and degree of seasoning. Cash flows and maturities are then determined, and for certain assets, prepayment assumptions are estimated under different interest rate scenarios. Interest income and interest expense are then simulated under several hypothetical interest rate conditions including:
A flat interest rate scenario in which current prevailing rates are locked in and the only balance sheet fluctuations that occur are due to cash flows, maturities, new volumes, and re-pricing volumes consistent with this flat rate assumption;

A 200 basis point rise or decline in interest rates applied against a parallel shift in the yield curve over a twelve-month horizon together with a dynamic balance sheet anticipated to be consistent with such interest rate changes;
Various non-parallel shifts in the yield curve, including changes in either short-term or long-term rates over a twelve-month horizon, together with a dynamic balance sheet anticipated to be consistent with such interest rate changes; and
An extension of the foregoing simulations to each of two, three, four and five year horizons to determine the interest rate risk with the level of interest rates stabilizing in years two through five. Even though rates remain stable during this two to five year time period, re-pricing opportunities driven by maturities, cash flow, and adjustable rate products will continue to change the balance sheet profile for each of the interest rate conditions.

Changes in net interest income based upon the foregoing simulations are measured against the flat interest rate scenario and actions are taken to maintain the balance sheet interest rate risk within established policy guidelines.

As of September 30, 20172019 interest rate sensitivity modeling results indicate that the Bank’s balance sheet in year 1 was moderatelyslightly liability sensitive over the one- and two-year horizons (i.e., moderately exposed to rising interest rates).in year 2 was asset sensitive.

Assuming short-term and long-term interest rates decline 100200 basis points from current levels (i.e., a parallel yield curve shift) and the Bank’s balance sheet structure and size remain at current levels, management believes net interest income will improve slightlydeteriorate over the one year horizon (+.2%(-0.8% versus the base case) while remaining relatively stabledeteriorating further from that level over the two-year horizon (+.3%(-7.3% versus the base case). Should the yield curve steepen as rates fall, the model suggests that accelerated earning asset prepayments will slow, resulting in a more stabilized level of net interest income. Management anticipates that moderate to strong earning asset growth will be needed to meaningfully increase the Bank’s current level of net interest income should both long-term and short-term interest rates decline in parallel.

Assuming the Bank’s balance sheet structure and size remain at current levels and the Federal Reserve increases short-term interest rates by 200 basis points with the balance of the yield curve shifting in parallel with these increases, management believes net interest income will decline moderatelyremain relatively unchanged over the one and two-year horizons (-3.1%(-1.1% and -6.7%-0.6%, respectively, versus the base case) as increased funding costs outpace increases in earning asset yields. The interest rate sensitivity simulation model suggests that as interest rates rise, the Bank’s funding costs will initially re-price disproportionately with earning asset yields to a moderate degree. As funding costs begin to stabilize early in the third year of the simulation, the model suggests that the earning asset portfolios will continue to re-price at prevailing interest rate levels and cash flows from the Bank’s earning asset portfolios will be reinvested into higher yielding earning assets, resulting in a widening of spreads and a stabilization of net interest income over the three year horizon and beyond. Management believes moderate to strong earning asset growth will be necessary to meaningfully increase the current level of net interest income over the one-year and two-year horizons should short-term and long-term interest rates rise in parallel.respectively).

As compared to June 30, 2017,December 31, 2018, the year-one sensitivity in the down 100 basis points scenario decreasedwas down slightly for the quarternine months ended September 30, 2019 (+.7%1.7% prior, versus +.2%-.1% current).  The year-two sensitivities in the down 100 basis points scenario showed a small changechanged going from +.8%+0.7% to +.3%-3.0%.  In the year-one up 200 basis points scenario, results improveddeclined going from the prior quarter (-3.8% prior, versus -3.1% current)-3.7% to -1.1%. Year-two, up 200 basis points shows a slightly more negative result (-6.2%declined (-8.3% prior, versus -6.7%-.6% current), although on balance, the current aggregate position is consistent with the prior quarter’s.

Despite four rate hikes over the last eighteen months, the Federal Reserve continues to maintain short-term interest rates at low levels, threatening net interest income. Net interest income exposure is also significantly affected by the shape and level of the U.S. Government securities and interest rate swap yield curve, and changes in the size and composition of the Bank’s loan, investment and deposit portfolios..

The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a Company forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels and yield curve shape, prepayment speeds on loans and securities, deposit rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment or replacement of asset and liability cash flows, and renegotiated loan terms with borrowers. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local

market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

As market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results may also differ due to: prepayment and refinancing levels deviating from those assumed; the impact of interest rate changes, caps or floors on adjustable rate assets; the potential effect of changing debt service levels on customers with adjustable rate loans; depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes; and other such variables. The sensitivity analysis also does not reflect additional actions that the Bank’s Senior Executive Team and Board of Directors might take in responding to or anticipating changes in interest rates, and the anticipated impact on the Bank’s net interest income.

The Bank engages an independent consultant to periodically review its interest rate risk position and the reasonableness of assumptions used, with periodic reports provided to the Bank’s Board of Directors. At September 30, 2017, there were no significant differences between the views of the independent consultant and management regarding the Bank’s interest rate risk exposure.
