NOTE 2 – EPS

The following is an analysis of basic and diluted EPS, reflecting the application of the two-class method, as described below:



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Net income	$	6,456		$	6,451		$	19,260		$	18,482
Dividends and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities ⁽¹⁾	(21		)	(20		)	(61		)	(57		)
Net income available to common shareholders	$	6,435		$	6,431		$	19,199		$	18,425
Weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic EPS	7,453,222			7,421,592			7,443,543			7,459,972
Dilutive effect of stock-based awards ⁽²⁾	23,817			18,356			20,941			19,355
Weighted-average common and potential common shares for diluted EPS	7,477,039			7,439,948			7,464,484			7,479,327
Earnings per common share:
Basic EPS	$	0.86		$	0.87		$	2.58		$	2.47
Diluted EPS	$	0.86		$	0.86		$	2.57		$	2.46
Awards excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS ⁽³⁾ :
Stock options	13,750			30,750			16,250			14,750

(1) Represents dividends paid and undistributed earnings allocated to nonvested stock-based awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends.

(2) Represents the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted shares, vesting of restricted stock units, and vesting of LTIP awards that have met the performance criteria, as applicable, utilizing the treasury stock method.

(3) Represents stock-based awards not included in the computation of potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted EPS as the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock.

Nonvested stock-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and are included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Certain of the Company’s nonvested stock-based awards qualify as participating securities.

Net income is allocated between the common stock and participating securities pursuant to the two-class method. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding participating nonvested stock-based awards.

Diluted EPS is computed in a similar manner, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares were issued using the treasury stock method.

Net unrealized gains on AFS securities at September 30, 2015 included in AOCI amounted to $2.9 million , net of a deferred tax of $1.6 million . Net unrealized losses on AFS securities at December 31, 2014 included in AOCI amounted to $319,000 , net of a deferred tax benefit of $172,000 .

During the first nine months of 2015, the Company purchased investment securities totaling $136.7 million . The Company designated $81.3 million as AFS securities and $55.4 million as HTM securities.

Impaired Securities

Management periodically reviews the Company’s investment portfolio to determine the cause, magnitude and duration of declines in the fair value of each security. Thorough evaluations of the causes of the unrealized losses are performed to determine whether the impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary in nature. Considerations such as the ability of the securities to meet cash flow requirements, levels of credit enhancements, risk of curtailment, recoverability of invested amount over a reasonable period of time, and the length of time the security is in a loss position, for example, are applied in determining OTTI. Once a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the value of the security is permanently reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.

The following table presents the estimated fair values and gross unrealized losses of investment securities that were in a continuous loss position at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , by length of time that individual securities in each category have been in a continuous loss position:

At September 30, 2015 , the Company held 73 investment securities with a fair value of $280.7 million with unrealized losses totaling $ 4.2 million that are considered temporary. Of these, the Company had 34 MBS and CMO investments with a fair value of $ 203.0 million that have been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more. The decline in the fair value of securities is reflective of current interest rates in excess of the yield received on investments and is not indicative of an overall credit deterioration or other factors with the Company's investment portfolio. At September 30, 2015, gross unrealized losses on the Company's AFS and HTM securities were 1% of amortized cost.

The Company has the intent and ability to retain its investment securities in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2015 until the decline in value has recovered.

NOTE 4 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The composition of the Company’s loan portfolio, excluding residential loans held for sale, at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:



	September 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Residential real estate	$	583,424		$	585,996
Commercial real estate	690,935			640,661
Commercial	258,105			257,515
Home equity	281,492			271,709
Consumer	16,535			17,257
Net deferred fees	(348		)	(528		)
Total	$	1,830,143		$	1,772,610

The Company’s lending activities are primarily conducted in Maine, and its footprint continues to expand into other New England states, including New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The Company originates single family and multi-family residential loans, commercial real estate loans, business loans, municipal loans and a variety of consumer loans. In addition, the Company makes loans for the construction of residential homes, multi-family properties and commercial real estate properties. The ability and willingness of borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the level of overall economic activity within the geographic area and the general economy.

The ALL is management’s best estimate of the inherent risk of loss in the Company’s loan portfolio as of the consolidated statement of condition date. Management makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of the loan portfolio and provides an allowance for potential losses based on a number of factors including historical losses. If those assumptions are incorrect, the ALL may not be sufficient to cover losses and may cause an increase in the allowance in the future. Among the factors that could affect the Company’s ability to collect loans and require an increase to the allowance in the future are: (i) financial condition of borrowers; (ii) real estate market changes; (iii) state, regional, and national economic conditions; and (iv) a requirement by federal and state regulators to increase the provision for loan losses or recognize additional charge-offs.

There were no significant changes in the Company's ALL methodology during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 .

The board of directors monitors credit risk through the Directors' Loan Review Committee, which reviews large credit exposures, monitors the external loan review reports, reviews the lending authority for individual loan officers when required, and has approval authority and responsibility for all matters regarding the loan policy and other credit-related policies, including reviewing and monitoring asset quality trends, concentration levels, and the ALL methodology. The Corporate Risk Management Group and the Credit Risk Policy Committee oversee the Company's systems and procedures to monitor the credit quality of its loan portfolio, conduct a loan review program, maintain the integrity of the loan rating system, determine the adequacy of the ALL and support the oversight efforts of the Directors' Loan Review Committee and the board of directors. The Company's practice is to proactively manage the portfolio such that management can identify problem credits early, assess and implement effective work-out strategies, and take charge-offs as promptly as practical. In addition, the Company continuously reassesses its underwriting standards in response to credit risk posed by changes in economic conditions. For purposes of determining the ALL, the Company disaggregates its loans into portfolio segments, which include residential real estate, commercial real estate, commercial, home equity, and consumer. Each portfolio segment possesses unique risk characteristics that are considered when determining the appropriate level of allowance. These risk characteristics unique to each portfolio segment include:

Residential Real Estate . Residential real estate loans held in the Company's loan portfolio are made to borrowers who demonstrate the ability to make scheduled payments with full consideration to underwriting factors. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan-to-value ratios within established policy guidelines. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on one- to four-family residential properties.

Commercial Real Estate. Commercial real estate loans consist of mortgage loans to finance investments in real property such as multi-family residential, commercial/retail, office, industrial, hotels, educational, health care facilities and other specific use properties. Commercial real estate loans are typically written with amortizing payment structures. Collateral values are determined based upon appraisals and evaluations in accordance with established policy guidelines. Loan-to-value ratios at origination are governed by established policy and regulatory guidelines. Commercial real estate loans are primarily paid by the cash flow generated from the real property, such as operating leases, rents, or other operating cash flows from the borrower.

Commercial. Commercial loans consist of revolving and term loan obligations extended to business and corporate enterprises for the purpose of financing working capital and/or capital investment. Collateral generally consists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, plant & equipment, or real estate, if applicable. Commercial loans are primarily paid by the operating cash flow of the borrower. Commercial loans may be secured or unsecured.

Home Equity. Home equity loans and lines are made to qualified individuals for legitimate purposes secured by senior or junior mortgage liens on owner-occupied one- to four-family homes, condominiums, or vacation homes. The home equity loan has a fixed rate and is billed as equal payments comprised of principal and interest. The home equity line of credit has a variable rate and is billed as interest-only payments during the draw period. At the end of the draw period, the home equity line of credit is billed as a percentage of the principal balance plus all accrued interest. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan-to-value ratios within established policy guidelines.

Consumer. Consumer loan products including personal lines of credit and amortizing loans made to qualified individuals for various purposes such as education, auto loans, debt consolidation, personal expenses or overdraft protection. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income and collateral requirements within established policy guidelines. Consumer loans may be secured or unsecured.

(1) The provision (credit) for loan losses excludes any impact for the change in the reserve for unfunded commitments, which represents management's estimate of the amount required to reflect the probable inherent losses on outstanding letters of credit and unused lines of credit. The reserve for unfunded commitments is presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition. At September 30, 2015 and 2014, and December 31, 2014, the reserve for unfunded commitments was $24,000 , $21,000 and $17,000 , respectively.

The following table reconciles the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and year ended December 31, 2014 provision for loan losses to the provision for credit losses as presented on the consolidated statement of income:



	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,				Year Ended December 31,

The Company focuses on maintaining a well-balanced and diversified loan portfolio. Despite such efforts, it is recognized that credit concentrations may occasionally emerge as a result of economic conditions, changes in local demand, natural loan growth and runoff. To ensure that credit concentrations can be effectively identified, all commercial and commercial real estate loans are assigned Standard Industrial Classification codes, North American Industry Classification System codes, and state and county codes. Shifts in portfolio concentrations are monitored by the Corporate Risk Management Group. As of September 30, 2015 , the non-residential building operators industry exposure was 11% of the Company's total loan portfolio and 28% of the total commercial real estate portfolio. There were no other industry exposures exceeding 10% of the Company's total loan portfolio as of September 30, 2015.

To further identify loans with similar risk profiles, the Company categorizes each portfolio segment into classes by credit risk characteristic and applies a credit quality indicator to each portfolio segment. The indicators for commercial, commercial real estate and residential real estate loans are represented by Grades 1 through 10 as outlined below. In general, risk ratings are adjusted periodically throughout the year as updated analysis and review warrants. This process may include, but is not limited to, annual credit and loan reviews, periodic reviews of loan performance metrics, such as delinquency rates, and quarterly reviews of adversely risk rated loans. The Company uses the following definitions when assessing grades for the purpose of evaluating the risk and adequacy of the ALL:

•

Grade 1 through 6 — Grades 1 through 6 represent groups of loans that are not subject to adverse criticism as defined in regulatory guidance. Loans in these groups exhibit characteristics that represent low to moderate risks, which is measured using a variety of credit risk criteria, such as cash flow coverage, debt service coverage, balance sheet leverage, liquidity, management experience, industry position, prevailing economic conditions, support from secondary sources of repayment and other credit factors that may be relevant to a specific loan. In general, these loans are supported by properly margined collateral and guarantees of principal parties.

•

Grade 7 — Loans with potential weakness (Special Mention). Loans in this category are currently protected based on collateral and repayment capacity and do not constitute undesirable credit risk, but have potential weakness that may result in deterioration of the repayment process at some future date. This classification is used if a negative trend is evident in the obligor’s financial situation. Special mention loans do not sufficiently expose the Company to warrant adverse classification.


•	Grade 8 — Loans with definite weakness (Substandard). Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by collateral pledged. Borrowers experience difficulty in meeting debt repayment requirements. Deterioration is sufficient to cause the Company to look to the sale of collateral.

•

Grade 9 — Loans with potential loss (Doubtful). Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in the substandard grade with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation of the loan in full highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of some loss is extremely high, but because of specific pending factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.


•	Grade 10 — Loans with definite loss (Loss). Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible. The loss classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the asset because recovery and collection time may be protracted.

Asset quality indicators are periodically reassessed to appropriately reflect the risk composition of the Company’s loan portfolio. Home equity and consumer loans are not individually risk rated, but rather analyzed as groups taking into account delinquency rates and other economic conditions which may affect the ability of borrowers to meet debt service requirements, including interest rates and energy costs. Performing loans include loans that are current and loans that are past due less than 90 days. Loans that are past due over 90 days and non-accrual loans, including TDRs, are considered non-performing.

The following table summarizes credit risk exposure indicators by portfolio segment as of the following dates:

The Company closely monitors the performance of its loan portfolio. A loan is placed on non-accrual status when the financial condition of the borrower is deteriorating, payment in full of both principal and interest is not expected as scheduled or principal or interest has been in default for 90 days or more. Exceptions may be made if the asset is well-secured by collateral sufficient to satisfy both the principal and accrued interest in full and collection is reasonably assured. When one loan to a borrower is placed on non-accrual status, all other loans to the borrower are re-evaluated to determine if they should also be placed on non-accrual status. All previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed at this time. A loan may be returned to accrual status when collection of principal and interest is assured and the borrower has demonstrated timely payments of principal and interest for a reasonable period. Unsecured loans, however, are not normally placed on non-accrual status because they are charged-off once their collectability is in doubt.

The following is a loan aging analysis by portfolio segment (including loans past due over 90 days and non-accrual loans) and a summary of non-accrual loans, which include TDRs, and loans past due over 90 days and accruing as of the following dates:

Interest income that would have been recognized if loans on non-accrual status had been current in accordance with their original terms was $103,000 and $192,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and $375,000 and $647,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

TDRs:

The Company takes a conservative approach with credit risk management and remains focused on community lending and reinvesting. The Company works closely with borrowers experiencing credit problems to assist in loan repayment or term modifications. TDR loans consist of loans where the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, granted a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. TDRs, typically, involve term modifications or a reduction of either interest or principal. Once such an obligation has been restructured, it will remain a TDR until paid in full, or until the loan is again restructured at current market rates and no concessions are granted.

The specific reserve allowance was determined by discounting the total expected future cash flows from the borrower at the original loan interest rate, or if the loan is currently collateral-dependent, using the NRV, which was obtained through independent appraisals and internal evaluations. The following is a summary of TDRs, by portfolio segment, and the associated specific reserve included within the ALL as of:



	Number of Contracts		Recorded Investment				Specific Reserve
	September 30, 2015	December 31, 2014	September 30, 2015		December 31, 2014		September 30, 2015		December 31, 2014

Total	38	41	$	5,461	$	5,943	$	627	$	645

At September 30, 2015 , the Company had performing and non-performing TDRs with a recorded investment balance of $5.0 million and $473,000 , respectively. At December 31, 2014, the Company had performing and non-performing TDRs with a recorded investment balance of $4.5 million and $1.4 million , respectively. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers with loans classified as TDRs.

Loan Sales:

For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company sold $11.9 million and $0 , respectively, of fixed rate residential mortgage loans on the secondary market that resulted in net gains on the sale of loans of $249,000 and $0 , respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company sold $24.5 million and $399,000 of fixed rate residential mortgage loans on the secondary market that resulted in net gains on the sale of loans of $541,000 and $17,000 , respectively.

At September 30, 2015 , the Company had certain fixed rate mortgage loans with a total principal of $890,000 designated as held for sale. The Company has elected to record its loans held for sale at fair value. At September 30, 2015 , the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $4,000 within non-operating income on its consolidated statements of income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 . The company did no t have any loans designated as held for sale at September 30, 2014 .

OREO:

The Company records its properties obtained through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure as OREO properties on the consolidated statements of condition at NRV. At September 30, 2015 , the Company had three residential real estate properties with a carrying value of $204,000 within OREO. At December 31, 2014, the Company had 11 residential real estate properties and six commercial properties with a carrying value of $575,000 and $1.0 million , respectively, within OREO.

In-Process Foreclosure Proceedings:

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company had $2.6 million and $4.9 million , respectively, of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which foreclosure proceedings were in process, representing 48% and 61% , respectively, of non-accrual loans within the Company's residential, consumer and home equity portfolios. The Company continues to be focused on working these consumer mortgage loans through the foreclosure process to resolution; however, the foreclosure process, typically, will take 18 to 24 months due to the State of Maine foreclosure laws.

FHLB Advances:

FHLB advances are those borrowings from the FHLBB greater than 90 days. FHLB advances are collateralized by a blanket lien on qualified collateral consisting primarily of loans with first mortgages secured by one- to four-family properties, certain commercial real estate loans, certain pledged investment securities and other qualified assets. The carrying value of residential real estate and commercial loans pledged as collateral was $830.6 million and $843.2 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Refer to Note 3 and 9 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion of securities pledged as collateral.

NOTE 6 – REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FRB and the OCC. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company implemented the Basel III regulatory capital framework. These new rules and framework revised minimum capital requirements and adjusted prompt corrective action thresholds. The Company and Bank are required to maintain certain levels of capital based on risk-adjusted assets. These capital requirements represent quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and Bank's capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by our regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Under the Basel III regulatory capital framework, the quantitative measures established to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total, Tier I capital, and common equity Tier I (as defined in the applicable regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the applicable regulations), and of Tier I capital to average assets, or leverage ratio (as defined in the applicable regulations). These guidelines apply to the Company on a consolidated basis. Under the current guidelines, banking organizations must have a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% , a minimum Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% , a minimum common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.5% , and a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0% . In addition to these requirements, banking organization must maintain a 2.5% capital conservation buffer consisting of common Tier I equity, subject to a transition schedule with a full phase-in by 2019.

The Company and Bank's risk-based capital ratios exceeded regulatory guidelines at September 30, 2015 under the newly implemented Basel III regulatory capital framework. The Company and Bank's risk-based capital ratios under prior rules at December 31, 2014 also exceeded regulatory capital requirements under previous regulatory capital requirements in place. The following table presents the Company and Bank's regulatory capital ratios at the periods indicated:



	Current Regulatory Guidance						Prior Regulatory Guidance
	September 30, 2015		Minimum Regulatory Capital Required		Minimum Regulatory Provision To Be "Well Capitalized" Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions		December 31, 2014		Minimum Regulatory Capital Required		Minimum Regulatory Provision To Be "Well Capitalized" Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions

NOTE 8 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company granted share-based awards, subject to certain terms and conditions, to certain officers, executive officers, and directors of the Company, Bank and Acadia Trust. All share-based awards granted were issued under the 2012 Plan. The following outlines the details, and terms and conditions of the material awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2015:


•	84 unrestricted stock awards were issued to a newly appointed director of the Company under the Independent Directors' Equity Compensation Program. The unrestricted stock awards fully vested on the January 1, 2015 grant date. The fair value of the share awards issued was determined using the closing market price of the Company's stock on December 31, 2014 of $39.84 per share.

•

A total of 6,281 restricted stock awards and restricted stock units were granted at a fair value of $37.31 per share, based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the March 6, 2015 grant date. The restricted stock awards vest pro-rata over a three -year period, while the restricted stock units vest pro-rata over a three -year period subject to the achievement of certain performance measures. The holders of the restricted stock awards participate fully in the rewards of stock ownership of the Company, including voting and dividend rights.


•	9,379 shares of the Company's common stock were purchased under the MSPP at a one-third discount, based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the March 6, 2015 grant date of $37.31 , in lieu of the officers and executive officers annual incentive bonus. The shares fully vest after two years of service from the grant date.


•	2,406 deferred stock awards were issued to certain executive officers under the DCRP. The stock awards have been determined to have a fair value of $38.85 per unit, based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the March 13, 2015 grant date.


•	3,030 unrestricted stock awards were issued to the directors of the Company and Bank under the Independent Directors' Equity Compensation Program. The unrestricted stock awards fully vested immediately on the May 1, 2015 grant date. The fair value of the share awards issued was determined using the closing market price of the Company's stock on May 1, 2015 of $38.36 per share.

NOTE 9 – REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Company can raise additional liquidity by entering into repurchase agreements at its discretion. In a security repurchase agreement transaction, the Company will generally sell a security, agreeing to repurchase either the same or substantially identical security on a specified later date, at a greater price than the original sales price. The difference between the sale price and purchase price is the cost of the proceeds, which is recorded as interest expense on the consolidated statement of income. The securities underlying the agreements are delivered to counterparties as security for the repurchase obligations. Since the securities are treated as collateral and the agreement does not qualify for a full transfer of effective control, the transactions does not meet the criteria to be classified as a sale, and is therefore considered a secured borrowing transaction for accounting purposes. Payments on such borrowings are interest only until the scheduled repurchase date. In a repurchase agreement the Company is subject to the risk that the purchaser may default at maturity and not return the securities underlying the agreements. In order to minimize this potential risk, the Company either deals with established firms when entering into these transactions or with customers whose agreements stipulate that the securities underlying the agreement are not delivered to the customer and instead are held in segregated safekeeping accounts by the Company's safekeeping agents.

The table below sets forth information regarding the Company’s repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings and types of collateral at the date indicated:

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND DISCLOSURE

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined using quoted market prices. However, in many instances, quoted market prices are not available. In such instances, fair values are determined using various valuation techniques. Various assumptions and observable inputs must be relied upon in applying these techniques. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

GAAP permits an entity to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and other items at fair value. The Company has elected the fair value option for its loans held for sale. Electing the fair value option for loans held for sale enables the Company’s financial position to more clearly align with the economic value of the actively traded asset.

The fair value hierarchy for valuation of an asset or liability is as follows:

Level 1: Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, from quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.

Level 3: Valuation is derived from model-based and other techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and which may be based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon model-based techniques incorporating various assumptions including interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit losses. Assets and liabilities valued using model-based techniques are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the lowest level classification of an input that is considered significant to the overall valuation. A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Loans Held For Sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted secondary market prices or executed sales agreements and is classified as Level 2.

AFS Securities : The fair value of debt AFS securities is reported utilizing prices provided by an independent pricing service based on recent trading activity and other observable information including, but not limited to, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, market interest rate curves, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond’s terms and conditions. The fair value of debt securities are classified as Level 2.

Derivatives : The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using inputs that are observable in the market place obtained from third parties including yield curves, publicly available volatilities, and floating indexes and, accordingly, are classified as Level 2 inputs. The credit value adjustments associated with derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives due to collateral postings.

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . The Company’s policy for determining transfers between levels occurs at the end of the reporting period when circumstances in the underlying valuation criteria change and result in transfer between levels.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period.

Collateral-Dependent Impaired Loans : Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. The Company's policy is to individually evaluate for impairment loans with a principal balance greater than $250,000 or more and are classified as substandard or doubtful and are on non-accrual status. Once the population of loans is identified for individual impairment assessment, the Company measures these loans for impairment by comparing NRV, which is the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell, to the carrying value of the loan. If the NRV of the loan is less than the carrying value of the loan, then a loss is recognized as part of the ALL to adjust the loan's carrying value to NRV. Accordingly, certain collateral-dependent impaired loans are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Management has estimated the fair values of these assets using Level 2 inputs, such as the fair value of collateral based on independent third-party market approach appraisals for collateral-dependent loans, and Level 3 inputs where circumstances warrant an adjustment to the appraised value based on the age of the appraisal and/or comparable sales, condition of the collateral, and market conditions.

MSRs : The Company accounts for mortgage servicing assets at cost, subject to impairment testing. When the carrying value of a tranche exceeds fair value, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the carrying cost to fair value. Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The Company obtains a third-party valuation based upon loan level data including note rate, type and term of the underlying loans. The model utilizes a variety of observable inputs for its assumptions, the most significant of which are loan prepayment assumptions and the discount rate used to discount future cash flows. Other assumptions include delinquency rates, servicing cost inflation and annual unit loan cost. MSRs are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Non-Financial Assets and Non-Financial Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company has no non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis consist of OREO and goodwill and other intangible assets.

OREO : OREO properties acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure are recorded at NRV, which is the fair value of the real estate, less estimated costs to sell. Any write-down of the recorded investment in the related loan is charged to the ALL upon transfer to OREO. Upon acquisition of a property, a current appraisal is used or an internal valuation is prepared to substantiate fair value of the property. After foreclosure, management periodically, but at least annually, obtains updated valuations of the OREO properties and, if additional impairments are deemed necessary, the subsequent write-downs for declines in value are recorded through a valuation allowance and a provision for losses charged to other non-interest expense within the consolidated statements of income. As management considers appropriate, adjustments are made to the appraisal obtained for the OREO property to account for recent sales activity of comparable properties, changes in the condition of the property, and changes in market conditions. These adjustments are not observable in an active market and are classified as Level 3.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets : Goodwill represents the excess cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The fair value of goodwill is estimated by utilizing several standard valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses, bank merger multiples, and/or an estimation of the impact of business conditions and investor activities on the long-term value of the goodwill. Should an impairment of either reporting unit's goodwill occur, the associated goodwill is written-down to fair value and the impairment charge is recorded within non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. The Company conducts an annual impairment test of goodwill in the fourth quarter each year, or more frequently as necessary. There have been no indications or triggering events during the first nine months of 2015 for which management believes that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired.

The Company's core deposit intangible assets represent the estimated value of acquired customer relationships and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of those relationships. Core deposit intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If necessary, management will test the core deposit intangibles for impairment by comparing its carrying value to the expected undiscounted cash flows of the assets. If the undiscounted cash flows of the intangible assets exceed its carrying value then the intangible assets are deemed to be fully recoverable and not impaired. However, if the undiscounted cash flows of the intangible assets are less than its carrying value than an impairment charge is recorded to mark the carrying value of the intangible assets to fair value. There were no events or changes in circumstances during the first nine months of 2015 that indicated the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

The table below highlights financial and non-financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . Not included in the table below because they were not recorded at fair value at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are: (i) impaired loans of $13.2 million and $17.6 million, respectively; (ii) MSRs reported of $165,000 and $319,000 , respectively; and (iii) OREO properties of $0 and $305,000 , respectively.

GAAP requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair values of its other financial instruments.

Cash and Due from Banks : The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statements of condition approximate fair value.

HTM securities : The fair value is estimated utilizing prices provided by an independent pricing service based on recent trading activity and other observable information including, but not limited to, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, market interest rate curves, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond’s terms and conditions. The fair value is classified as Level 2.

Loans : For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair value of other loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Interest Receivable and Payable : The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statements of condition approximate fair value.

Deposits : The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity is equal to the carrying amount. The fair value of certificates of deposit is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates and remaining maturities for currently offered certificates of deposit.

Borrowings : The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings from the FHLB, securities sold under repurchase agreements, notes payable and other short-term borrowings approximate fair value. The fair values of long-term borrowings and commercial repurchase agreements are based on the discounted cash flows using current rates for advances of similar remaining maturities.

Junior Subordinated Debentures : The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statements of condition approximate fair value.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair value for financial instrument assets and liabilities measured at September 30, 2015 :

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to pending and threatened legal actions. Although the Company is not able to predict the outcome of such actions, after reviewing pending and threatened actions with counsel, management believes that based on the information currently available the outcome of such actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position as a whole.

Reserves are established for legal claims only when losses associated with the claims are judged to be probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated. In many lawsuits and arbitrations, it is not possible to determine whether a liability has been incurred or to estimate the ultimate or minimum amount of that liability until the case is close to resolution, in which case a reserve will not be recognized until that time.

As of September 30, 2015 , the Company did no t have any material loss contingencies for which accruals were provided for and/or disclosure was deemed necessary.

Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to both on and off-balance sheet financial instruments involving, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in addition to the amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of condition.

The following is a summary of the contractual and notional amounts of the Company’s financial instruments:

Lending-Related Instruments

The contractual amounts of the Company’s lending-related financial instruments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements since certain of these instruments may expire without being funded and others may not be fully drawn upon. These instruments are subject to the Company’s credit approval process, including an evaluation of the customer’s creditworthiness and related collateral requirements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes (primarily interest rate risk) and not for trading or speculative purposes. The Company controls the credit risk of these instruments through collateral, credit approvals and monitoring procedures.

Interest Rate Swaps:

The Company’s interest rate swap arrangements contain provisions that require the Company to post cash collateral with the counterparty for contracts that are in a net liability position based on their fair values and the Company’s credit rating. The Company had a notional amount of $43.0 million in variable-for-fixed interest rate swap agreements on its junior subordinated debentures and $10.3 million in cash held as collateral.

The terms of the interest rate swap agreements are as follows:



						September 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Notional Amount		Trade Date	Maturity Date	Variable Index Received	Fixed Rate Paid	Fair Value ⁽¹⁾			Fair Value ⁽¹⁾
$	10,000	3/18/2009	6/30/2021	3-Month USD LIBOR	5.09%	$	(1,240	)	$	(1,092	)

5,000		3/14/2011	3/30/2031	3-Month USD LIBOR	4.35%	(1,414		)	(1,279		)
8,000		5/4/2011	7/7/2031	3-Month USD LIBOR	4.14%	(2,051		)	(1,827		)
$	43,000					$	(10,165	)	$	(9,143	)
(1) Presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition.

As each derivative instrument qualifies as a highly effective cash flow hedge, the decrease in the fair value of the interest rate swaps for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $665,000 , net of tax, was recorded in OCI. Net payments have been classified as cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company would reclassify unrealized gains or losses accounted for within AOCI into earnings if the interest rate swaps were to become ineffective or the arrangements were to terminate. In the next 12 months, the Company does not believe it will reclassify any related unrealized gains or losses accounted for within AOCI into earnings.

Forward-Starting Interest Rate Swaps:

In the first quarter of 2015, the Bank entered into two interest rate swap arrangements with a counterparty for a total notional amount of $50.0 million . Each derivative arrangement will commence on February 25, 2016, with one contract set to expire on February 25, 2018 and the other on February 25, 2019. The Bank entered into these forward-starting interest rate swaps to mitigate its cost of borrowings exposure in a rising interest rate environment. The Bank has designated each arrangement as a hedge in accordance with GAAP, and, therefore, the change in unrealized gains or losses on the derivative instruments is recorded within AOCI, net of tax. Also, quarterly, in conjunction with financial reporting, the Company assesses each derivative instrument for ineffectiveness. To the extent any significant ineffectiveness is identified this amount would be recorded within the consolidated statements of income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 the Company did no t record any ineffectiveness within the consolidated statements of income.

The Bank's arrangement with the counterparty requires it to post cash collateral for contracts in a net liability position based on their fair values and the Bank's credit rating. At September 30, 2015 , the Bank posted cash collateral with the counterparty of $824,000 .

The terms of the interest rate swap agreements are as follows:



						September 30, 2015
Notional Amount		Trade Date	Maturity Date	Variable Index Received	Fixed Rate Paid	Fair Value ⁽¹⁾
$	25,000	2/25/2015	2/25/2018	30-Day FHLBB	1.54%	$	(356	)
25,000		2/25/2015	2/25/2019	30-Day FHLBB	1.74%	(531		)
$	50,000					$	(887	)
(1) Presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition.

As each derivative instrument qualifies as a highly effective cash flow hedge, the decrease in the fair value of the interest rate swaps for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $576,000 , net of tax, was recorded in OCI. Net payments have been classified as cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. In the next 12 months, the Company does not believe it will reclassify any related unrealized gains or losses accounted for within AOCI into earnings.

Customer Loan Swaps:

The Company will enter into interest rate swaps with its commercial customers, from time to time, to provide them with a means to lock into a long-term fixed rate, while simultaneously the Company enters into an arrangement with a counterparty to swap the fixed rate to a variable rate to allow it to effectively manage its interest rate exposure. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had interest rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $85.7 million and $29.1 million , respectively, with its commercial customers, and interest rate swap agreements of equal notional amounts with a dealer bank. The Company's customer loan level derivative program is not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. As the interest rate swap agreements have substantially equivalent and offsetting terms, they do not materially change the Company’s interest rate risk or present any material exposure to the Company's consolidated statements of income. The Company records its customer loan swaps at fair value and presents such on a gross basis within other assets and accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition. The fair value of customer loan swaps at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $3.2 million and $1.1 million , respectively.

The Company seeks to mitigate its customer counterparty credit risk exposure through its loan policy and underwriting process, which includes credit approval limits, monitoring procedures, and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. The Company seeks to mitigate its institutional counterparty credit risk exposure by limiting the institutions for which it will enter into interest swap arrangements through an approved listing by the Company's board of directors. The Company's arrangement with an institutional counterparty requires it to post cash collateral for contracts in a net liability position based on their fair values and the Bank's credit rating or receive cash collateral for contracts in a net asset position. At September 30, 2015 , the Company posted cash collateral with the counterparty of $3.0 million .

Interest Rate Locks:

As part of originating residential mortgages, the Company may enter into rate lock agreements with customers, which are considered interest rate lock commitments. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , based upon the pipeline of mortgage loans with rate lock commitments, the fair value of these commitments was immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 12 – MERGER AND ACQUISITION ACTIVITY

On October 16, 2015, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of SBM pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. Additionally, The Bank of Maine, a wholly owned subsidiary of SBM, merged with and into Camden National Bank, with Camden National Bank continuing as the surviving bank.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of SBM common stock outstanding at the effective time of the Merger was converted into the right to receive, at the election of the stockholder and subject to the allocation and proration procedures described in the Merger Agreement, either: (1) $206.00 in cash, without interest or (2) 5.421 shares of common stock of the Company; provided that 80% of the SBM shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger were converted into the right to receive common stock of the Company and the remaining SBM shares were converted into the right to receive cash. The total consideration paid by the Company was approximately $136.7 million , consisting of (i) approximately $26.1 million in cash; (ii) 2,749,762 shares of Camden common stock valued at approximately $108.6 million based on the October 16, 2015 closing price of $39.48 per share; and (iii) the fair value of 92,688 non-qualified stock options issued under the 2012 Plan of $2.0 million .

As of October 16, 2015, SBM's total assets were approximately $815.0 million , total net loans were approximately $640.0 million , and total deposits and borrowings were approximately $710.0 million . These balances are unaudited and do not include any adjustments for purchase accounting. As a result of the proximity of the closing of the merger to the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, the Company continues to evaluate the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Accordingly, the amount of any goodwill and other intangible assets to be recognized in connection with this transaction is also yet to be determined.

Upon completion of the Merger on October 16, 2015, the Company had 10,203,807 shares of common stock outstanding.

In conjunction with the Merger, the Company incurred certain non-recurring costs, including legal fees, investment banking fees, and other integration-related costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $766,000 and $1.6 million, respectively. These non-recurring costs are presented on the consolidated statements of income within non-interest expense as merger and acquisition costs. In addition, the Company incurred certain equity issuance costs totaling $537,000 related to the registration of additional shares of the Company's common stock. These costs have been accounted for as a reduction to shareholders' equity.

In accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, certain non-recurring costs are not deductible for income tax purposes. The impact to the Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was an increase of 2.1% . Non-recurring costs incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2015 had no impact on the Company's three months ended effective tax rate.

NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 8, 2015, the Company issued $15.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.50% fixed rate subordinated notes due 2025 to certain institutional accredited investors. The notes were issued at par and are redeemable, in whole or in part, on or after October 8, 2020 and at any time upon the occurrences of certain events. The Company intends to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including for the provision of additional liquidity and working capital. The notes qualify as Tier II capital and will be included as such within the Company's total risk-based capital ratio. Costs incurred associated with the debt issuance will be capitalized and amortized over the life of notes.

Also, refer to Note 12 for discussion of the Merger with SBM that was completed on October 16, 2015.

NOTE 14 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-30): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items . The ASU was issued as part of the FASB's simplification initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The ASU does not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The ASU was issued to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs as part of the FASB's simplification initiative. The ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The new guidance will be applied on a retrospective basis, which will require disclosure of this as a change in accounting principle. The Company does not expect the ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. The ASU was issued because existing GAAP did not include explicit guidance for accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. The ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. The ASU was issued to defer the effective date of Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), for all entities by one year. ASU 2014-09 was issued to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard. ASU 2014-09 is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company continues to evaluate the potential impact of ASU 2014-09, as updated by ASU 2015-14, but currently does not expect the ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805) : Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. The ASU was issued to simplify measurement period accounting, by requiring recognition of measurement period adjustments identified in the reporting period in which they are determined instead of applying them retrospectively. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years and early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The discussions set forth below and in the documents we incorporate by reference herein contain certain statements that may be considered forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including certain plans, exceptions, goals, projections, and statements, which are subject to numerous risks, assumptions, and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “assume,” “plan,” “target,” or “goal” or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “could” and other expressions which predict or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate to historical matters. Forward-looking statements should not be relied on, because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Company. These risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from the anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s financial performance to differ materially from the Company’s goals, plans, objectives, intentions, expectations and other forward-looking statements:


•	weakness in the United States economy in general and the regional and local economies within the New England region and Maine, which could result in a deterioration of credit quality, an increase in the allowance for loan losses or a reduced demand for the Company’s credit or fee-based products and services;


•	changes in trade, monetary, and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System;


•	inflation, interest rate, market, and monetary fluctuations;


•	competitive pressures, including continued industry consolidation and the increased financial services provided by non-banks;


•	volatility in the securities markets that could adversely affect the value or credit quality of the Company’s assets, impairment of goodwill, the availability and terms of funding necessary to meet the Company’s liquidity needs, and could lead to impairment in the value of securities in the Company's investment portfolio;


•	changes in information technology that require increased capital spending;


•	changes in consumer spending and savings habits;


•	changes in tax, banking, securities and insurance laws and regulations;


•	changes in accounting policies, practices and standards, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies as well as the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), and other accounting standard setters;


•	the ability of the Company to successfully integrate SBM Financial, Inc. and The Bank of Maine; and


•	the ability of the Company to achieve cost savings as a result of the merger or in achieving such cost savings within the projected timeframe.

You should carefully review all of these factors, and be aware that there may be other factors that could cause differences, including the risk factors listed in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as updated by the Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, including this report, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described therein and should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements were based on information, plans and estimates at the date of this report, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events or other changes, except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Critical accounting policies are those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. In preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management is required to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported. Actual results could materially differ from our current estimates as a result of changing conditions and future events. Several estimates are particularly critical and are susceptible to significant near-term change, including the allowance for credit losses; accounting for acquisitions and the review of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets for impairment; valuation of OREO; OTTI of investments; effectiveness of hedging derivatives; and accounting for postretirement plans, stock-based compensation, and income taxes. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION TO GAAP

In addition to evaluating the Company’s results of operations in accordance with GAAP, management supplements this evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures help investors in understanding the Company’s operating performance and trends and allow for better performance comparisons to other banks. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures remove the impact of unusual items that may obscure trends in the Company’s underlying performance. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP financial results, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other financial institutions.

Efficiency Ratio. The efficiency ratio, which represents an approximate measure of the cost required for the Company to generate a dollar of revenue, is the ratio of (i) total non-interest expense, excluding merger and acquisition costs (the numerator) to (ii) net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (assumed 35% tax rate) plus total non-interest income, excluding the net gain on sale of securities (the denominator).

Tax Equivalent Net Interest Income . Tax-equivalent net interest income is net interest income plus the taxes that would have been paid (assumed 35% tax rate) had tax-exempt securities been taxable. This number attempts to enhance the comparability of the performance of assets that have different tax implications.

Tangible Book Value Per Share and Tangible Equity To Tangible Assets . Tangible book value per share is the ratio of (i) shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangibles (the numerator) to (ii) total common shares outstanding at period end (the denominator). We believe this is a meaningful measure as it provides information to assess capital adequacy and is a common measure within our industry.

Tangible equity to tangible assets is the ratio of (i) shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangibles (the numerator) to (ii) total assets less goodwill and other intangibles (the denominator). This ratio is a measure used within our industry to assess whether or not a company is highly leveraged. The following table provides a reconciliation between tangible shareholders' equity to tangible assets and shareholders' equity to assets.



(Dollars In Thousands)	September 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Tangible Book Value Per Share
Shareholders’ equity	$	259,403		$	245,109

Tangible equity to tangible assets	7.51		%	7.18		%
Shareholders' equity to assets	9.03		%	8.79		%

Core Return On Average Tangible Equity: Core return on average tangible equity is the ratio of (i) net income, adjusted for (a) tax effected amortization of intangible assets, net of tax, (b) merger and acquisition costs, net of tax, and (c) gains on sale of securities, net of tax (the numerator) to (ii) average shareholders' equity, adjusted for average goodwill and other intangible assets. We believe this is a meaningful measure of our financial performance as it reflects our return on tangible equity in our business, excluding the financial impact of transactions that are not reflective of our core operating activities and the amortization of intangible assets.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Core operating earnings ¹ and core diluted EPS ¹ , which excludes the effect of merger and acquisition costs and investment security gains, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $7.0 million and $0.93 per share, respectively, representing increases of 8% over the third quarter of 2014. Core operating earnings and core diluted EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $20.5 million and $2.74, representing increases of 13% over the same period of 2014. The increase in core operating earnings for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014 was driven by revenue ² growth of 5% due to a 3% increase in net interest income and a 10% increase in core non-interest income. The increase in core operating earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014 was also driven by revenue growth of 5% as net interest income and core non-interest income both increased 5%.

GAAP net income and diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $6.5 million and $0.86 per share, respectively, and $19.3 million and $2.57 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Net income and diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2015 was flat compared to the third quarter of 2014 as our third quarter 2015 financial results included $766,000 of one-time costs related to the merger with SBM. Net income and diluted EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 each increased 4% over the same period for 2014, highlighting our ability to absorb significant one-time costs and continue to deliver strong performance.

Our strong financial performance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are highlighted by the favorable changes within our key operating ratios below:

On October 16, 2015, the Company completed its merger with SBM, and, in doing so, acquired approximately $815.0 million of total assets, or 28% of the Company's total assets at September 30, 2015; net loans of approximately $640.0 million, or 35% of the Company's total gross loans (excluding loans held for sale) at September 30, 2015; and total deposits and borrowings of $710.0 million, or 28% of the Company's total deposits and borrowings at September 30, 2015. As a result of the merger, SBM merged into Camden National Corporation, and SBM's wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bank of Maine, merged into Camden National Bank. Camden National Corporation and Camden National Bank were the surviving entities, and as a merged company will continue to operate under the Camden National Corporation and Camden National Bank name and brand. The Bank of Maine had a wholly-owned subsidiary, Healthcare Professional Funding Corporation, that upon completion of the merger became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Camden National Bank. Healthcare Professional Funding Corporation is headquartered out of Boston, Massachusetts and provides niche lending to the healthcare industry, specifically veterinarians, optometrists and dentists, across the country.

² Revenue is defined as net interest income plus non-interest income.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the interest earned on loans, securities, and other earning assets, plus loan fees, less the interest paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings. Net interest income, which is our largest source of revenue and accounts for approximately 76% of total revenues (net interest income and non-interest income), is affected by factors including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, loan and deposit pricing strategies and competitive conditions, the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets.

Net Interest Income - Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Net interest income earned on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the third quarter of 2015 was $20.5 million, representing an increase of $801,000, or 4%, compared to the third quarter of 2014. The increase is attributable to our strong loan growth over the past year, highlighted by an increase in average loans of $101.0 million, or 6%, to $1.8 billion for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014. Our yield on interest-earning assets for the third quarter of 2015 was 3.54%, which represents a decrease of four basis points compared to the third quarter for 2014. Our yield on interest-earning assets continues to decline due to the sustained low interest rate environment as new and refinanced loans are priced at lower current market rates, and, in part, a larger weighting of variable rate loans within our loan mix.

Average core deposits of $1.5 billion for the third quarter of 2015 increased $73.1 million, or 5%, over the third quarter of 2014 driven by higher demand and interest checking deposits of $78.6 million, which are our lowest cost funding sources. Money market balances decreased $36.1 million to $370.0 million for the third quarter of 2015 over the same period for 2014, which was largely due to the $19.8 million decrease in the average money market balances of our wealth management subsidiary, Acadia Trust. These deposits fluctuate with changes in the portfolios of the clients of Acadia Trust.

Total average borrowings for the third quarter of 2015 were $784.9 million, an increase of $46.3 million, or 6%, compared to the third quarter of 2014, which was driven by higher brokered deposits of $48.9 million used to fund our strong loan growth over the past year.

Our average cost of funds for the third quarter of 2015 was 0.47%, representing a decrease of 2 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2014.

Our NIM for the third quarter of 2015 was 3.08%, representing a 2 basis point decrease compared to the third quarter of 2014.

The following table presents average balances, interest income, interest expense, and the corresponding average yields earned and cost of funds, as well as net interest income, net interest rate spread and NIM for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

Net Interest Income - Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Net interest income earned on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $61.3 million, representing an increase of $3.5 million, or 6%, compared to the same period for 2014. The increase is attributable to our strong loan growth over the past year, highlighted by an increase in average loans of $138.9 million, or 8%, to $1.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 over the same period for 2014. Also contributing to the increase was a one-time income pick-up of $734,000 related to settlement and full pay-off of one significant commercial real estate loan that was on non-accrual status. The income earned on this loan increased our nine months ended September 30, 2015 yield on interest-earnings assets and NIM three and four basis points, respectively. Our yield on interest-earning assets for the first nine months of 2015 excluding the effect of this one-time income pick-up was 3.55%, which represents a decrease of four basis points compared to the same period for 2014. Our yield on interest-earning assets continues to decline due to the sustained low interest rate environment as new and refinanced loans are priced at lower current market rates, and, in part, a larger weighting of variable rate loans within our loan mix.

Average core deposits of $1.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $50.3 million, or 4%, over the same period for 2014. Demand and interest checking deposits increased $62.9 million, or 9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 over the same period of 2014. Money market balances decreased $38.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 over the same period for 2014, which was largely due to the $21.3 million decrease in the average money market balances of our wealth management subsidiary, Acadia Trust. These deposits fluctuate with changes in the portfolios of the clients of Acadia Trust.

Total average borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $796.3 million, an increase of $91.1 million, or 13%, compared to the same period for 2014. The increase was driven by higher brokered deposits of $92.1 million used to fund our strong loan growth over the past year.

Our average cost of funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 0.48%, representing a decrease of two basis points compared to the same period for 2014.

Our NIM for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 3.12%, including the four basis point impact of the one-time income pick-up in the second quarter of $734,000. Our NIM excluding the effect of this one-time income pick-up was 3.08%, representing a two basis point decrease compared to the third quarter of 2014.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses is made up of our provision for loan losses and the provision for unfunded commitments.

The provision for loan losses, which makes up the vast majority of the provision for credit losses, is a recorded expense determined by management that adjusts the ALL to a level that, in management’s best estimate, is necessary to absorb probable losses within the existing loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses reflects loan quality trends, including, among other factors, the levels of and trends related to non-accrual loans, past due loans, potential problem loans, criticized loans, net charge-offs or recoveries and growth in the loan portfolio. Accordingly, the amount of the provision for loan losses reflects both the necessary increases in the ALL related to newly identified criticized loans, as well as the actions taken related to other loans including, among other things, any necessary increases or decreases in required allowances for specific loans or loan pools.

The provision for unfunded commitments represents management's estimate of the amount required to reflect the probable inherent losses on outstanding letters and unused lines of credit. The reserve for unfunded commitments is presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statement of condition.

The following table outlines the components making up the provision for credit losses as recorded on consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

Non-Interest Income - Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The significant changes in non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months September 30, 2014 are:

•

An increase in mortgage banking income of $335,000 from the sale of $11.9 million of 30-year fixed rate mortgages in the third quarter of 2015, which generated gains on sale of $249,000, while in the third quarter of 2014 we did not have any loans sales. The remaining increase is reflective of higher servicing assets and servicing fees as the servicing rights were retained for the majority of the loans sold.

•

An increase in other income of $277,000 was primarily driven by higher income from customer loan swaps of $435,000 as the Company executed loan swap arrangements on commercial real estate loans of $46.0 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared to none in the third quarter of 2014. Partially offsetting this were higher unrealized losses of $111,000 on executive and director deferred compensation plans (noting an offsetting unrealized gain of equal amount is presented within other expenses) and lower income on our third party loan servicing relationships, primarily our MSHA servicing portfolio, of $25,000 compared to the third quarter of 2014.

Non-Interest Income - Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The significant changes in non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months September 30, 2014 are:


•	An increase in mortgage banking income of $778,000 from the sale of $24.5 million of 30-year fixed rate mortgages for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 that generated gains on sale of $541,000, compared to gains of $17,000 for the same period last year. The remaining increase is reflective of higher servicing assets as the servicing rights were retained for the majority of the loans sold.


•	An increase in bank-owned life insurance of $292,000 due to the additional $10.0 million investment made in the third quarter of 2014.


•	An increase in other service charges and fees of $192,000 primarily driven by higher debit card income of $183,000, of which $54,000 was an annual incentive fee received in the first quarter of 2015.

•

An increase in other income of $144,000 primarily driven by higher income on customer loan swaps of $458,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period for 2014, partially offset by higher unrealized losses on executive and director deferred compensation plans of $176,000 (noting an offsetting unrealized gain of equal amount is presented within other expenses) and lower income on our third party loan servicing relationships, primarily our MSHA servicing portfolio, of $99,000 compared to the same period of 2014.


•	A decrease on gains from sale of investment securities of $447,000 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Overview

Total assets at September 30, 2015 were $2.9 billion, representing an increase of $81.9 million, or 3%, since year-end. The growth in total assets was driven primarily by an increase in loans (including loans held for sale) of $58.4 million, or 3%. Our loan growth was centered within the commercial real estate portfolio, which has increased $50.3 million since December 31, 2014. Our commercial loan portfolio now makes up 52% due to our continued focus on becoming Maine's business bank and supporting the growth and economic development across all communities that we serve. The retail loan portfolio saw modest growth of $6.7 million, or 1%, since year-end, which is in large part due to our strategic shift in 2015 to sell all 30-year mortgage production. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company has sold $24.5 million of 30-year mortgage production.

Total deposits (excluding brokered deposits) at September 30, 2015 were $1.8 billion, representing an increase of $64.9 million, or 4%, since year-end. Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $45.6 million, or 17%, at September 30, 2015 compared to year-end largely due to the seasonality of core deposits within our markets across Maine, but we also experienced a $26.8 million, or 10%, increase over September 30, 2014. Certificates of deposit increased $22.8 million since year-end as one significant depositor shifted funds into a 6-month term in the third quarter of 2015. Total borrowings (including brokered deposits) were $792.8 million at September 30, 2015, representing a decrease of $1.9 million since year-end. The decrease is due to the seasonal inflow of core deposits.

Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2015 was $259.4 million , an increase of $14.3 million, or 8% annualized, since year-end.

Investment Securities

We purchase and hold investment securities including municipal bonds, MBS (pass through securities and CMOs), and FHLB and FRB stock to diversify our revenues, interest rate and credit risk, and to provide for liquidity and funding needs. At September 30, 2015 , our total holdings in investment securities were $820.1 million , an increase of $16.4 million since December 31, 2014 . For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we purchased $136.7 million of debt securities and received proceeds from the sale and maturity of debt securities totaling $123.7 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we classified all municipal bonds purchased as HTM securities. In total, we purchased $55.4 million of municipal bonds year-to-date. We have the intent and ability, evidenced by our strong capital and liquidity ratios, to hold these investments to maturity. The remaining $81.3 million of securities purchased were a collection of MBS and CMO debt securities. All of these investments have been categorized as AFS securities and are carried at fair value on the consolidated statements of condition with the associated unrealized gains or losses recorded in AOCI, net of tax. At September 30, 2015 , we had a $2.9 million net unrealized gain on our AFS securities, net of tax, compared to a $319,000 net unrealized loss, net of tax, at December 31, 2014 . The fluctuation in the fair value of our MBS and CMO investment securities is highly dependent on interest rates as of the end of the reporting period and is not reflective of overall credit deterioration within our portfolio.

We continuously monitor and evaluate our AFS portfolio to identify and assess risks within our portfolio, including, but not limited to, the impact of the current rate environment and the related prepayment risk and review credit ratings. In the third quarter of 2015, we sold certain MBS investment securities with a total net book value of $7.3 million that we identified had a higher prepayment risk. We recognized a net gain on the sale of these investment securities of $209,000. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2015, we sold our entire Non-Agency investment portfolio that had a net book value of $5.1 million. We sold these investments as they contain higher credit risks and recorded a net loss on the sale of these investments of $205,000. We had previously recorded OTTI on these investments of $204,000. The net gain on the sale of investment securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $4,000. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized gains on the sale of investment securities of $0 and $451,000, respectively.

The duration of our investment securities portfolio increased modestly to 3.87 years at September 30, 2015 from 3.58 years at December 31, 2014. The increase was due to the change in mix of our investment securities portfolio as municipal bonds, which have a longer weighted-average life than our MBS and CMO portfolio, at September 30, 2015 made up 12% of the net book value of our debt securities portfolio compared to 6% at December 31, 2014. We, generally, purchase MBS and CMO investments with an average life no longer than six years to limit prepayment risk.

We completed our quarterly OTTI assessment for our investment portfolio as of September 30, 2015 and concluded that no OTTI was necessary. Our process and methodology for analyzing our investments portfolio for OTTI has not changed since last disclosed within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for further discussion of the Company's process and methodology.

Loans

We provide loans primarily to customers located within our geographic market area. Our primary market continues to be in Maine, making up approximately 90% of our loan portfolio at September 30, 2015 ; however, our loan production outside of Maine and through New England has increased with our expanded presence in Southern Maine and New Hampshire. At September 30, 2015 , total loans (including loans held for sale) of $1.8 billion increased $58.4 million, or 3%, since December 31, 2014 . Loan growth continues to be centered within our commercial real estate portfolio, which has increased $50.3 million since year-end. Our commercial loan portfolio at September 30, 2015 made up 52% of our total loan portfolio and reflects our focus on becoming Maine's business bank. The retail portfolio (including loans held for sale) grew $6.7 million, or 1% since year-end. The modest growth highlights our strategic shift to sell 30-year mortgage production to allow us to be interest rate sensitive and recognize the immediate gains on the sale. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we sold $24.5 million of fixed rate mortgage loans to the secondary market generating gains of $541,000.

The following table sets forth the composition of our loan portfolio as of the dates indicated:



(Dollars In Thousands)	September 30, 2015			December 31, 2014

Asset Quality

Non-Performing Assets . Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, accruing TDRs, and property acquired through foreclosure or repossession. Our non-performing assets to total assets ratio at September 30, 2015 was 0.54%, representing a decrease of 28 basis points since year-end. The decrease in non-performing assets at September 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 was due, in part, to the migration of loans from non-performing status to performing status as the financial condition of our borrowers has improved, but also was largely due to (i) the full pay-off of one significant commercial real estate loan of $1.9 million that was on non-accrual status in the second quarter of 2015 and (ii) the decrease in our OREO portfolio of $1.4 million since year-end. We continue to see favorable trends across our asset quality metrics supporting a reduced provision for credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $260,000 and $696,000, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago.

The following table sets forth the amount of our non-performing assets as of the dates indicated:

Non-performing assets to total assets	0.54		%	0.82		%
ALL to non-performing assets	137.43		%	92.75		%

Potential Problem Loans . Potential problem loans consist of classified accruing commercial and commercial real estate loans that were between 30 and 89 days past due. Such loans are characterized by weaknesses in the financial condition of borrowers or collateral deficiencies. Based on historical experience, the credit quality of some of these loans may improve due to changes in collateral values or the financial condition of the borrowers, while the credit quality of other loans may deteriorate, resulting in a loss. These loans are not included in the above analysis of non-accrual loans. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had one potential problem loan in the commercial portfolio. The loan balance at risk at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $183,000 and $162,000, respectively.

Past Due Loans . Past due loans consist of accruing loans that were between 30 and 89 days past due. The following table sets forth information concerning the past due loans at the date indicated:



(Dollars in Thousands)	September 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Accruing loans 30-89 days past due:
Residential real estate	$	1,153		$	1,303

Total accruing loans 30-89 days past due	$	3,246		$	3,231
Accruing loans 30-89 days past due to total loans	0.18		%	0.18		%

Allowance for Loan Losses . We use a methodology to systematically measure the amount of estimated loan loss exposure inherent in the loan portfolio for purposes of establishing a sufficient ALL. The ALL is management’s best estimate of the probable loan losses as of the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to earnings and by recoveries of amounts previously charged-off, and is reduced by charge-offs on loans.

The following table sets forth information concerning the activity in our ALL during the periods indicated.



	At or For The Three Months Ended September 30,						At or For The Nine Months Ended September 30,						At or For The Year Ended December 31,

ALL to net charge-offs (annualized)	1,540.23		%	631.88		%	1,657.85		%	963.62		%	782.65		%

The determination of an appropriate level of ALL, and subsequent provision for loan losses which affects earnings, is based on our analysis of various economic factors and review of the loan portfolio. During our analysis and review, many factors are considered including, but not limited to, loan growth, payoffs of lower quality loans, recoveries on previously charged-off loans, improvement in the financial condition of the borrowers, risk rating downgrades/upgrades and charge-offs. We utilize a comprehensive approach toward determining the ALL, which includes an expanded risk rating system to assist us in identifying the risks being undertaken. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we provided $281,000 and $972,000 of provision expense to the ALL compared to $534,000 and $1.7 million for the same periods for 2014, respectively. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to improvement in the general economic condition of our borrowers supported by a decrease in annualized net charge-offs of 12 and 6 basis points, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same periods for 2014. Furthermore, our asset quality metrics have continued to show favorable trends as non-accrual loans to total loans have decreased 39 basis points since year-end to 0.55%, and non-performing assets to total assets has decreased 28 basis points to 0.54%. The improving asset quality metrics is reflective of the resolution of problem loans over recent years.

We believe the ALL of $21.1 million , or 1.15% of total loans and 139.27% of total non-performing loans, at September 30, 2015 was appropriate given the current economic conditions in our service area and the condition of the loan portfolio. However, if conditions deteriorate the provision will likely increase.

Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity

Deposits and Borrowings. Total deposits (including brokered deposits) at September 30, 2015 were $2.0 billion, an increase of $76.1 million, or 4%, since December 31, 2014. The increase was driven by (i) higher core deposits (demand, interest checking, savings, and money market) of $42.1 million, or 3%, largely due to the seasonality of Maine's markets. Specifically, non-interest bearing demand deposits increased 17% over this period.

Total borrowings at September 30, 2015 were $563.9 million, a decrease of $13.1 million, or 2%, since December 31, 2014. The decrease in borrowings was due to the reduction in FHLBB overnight and short-term advances of $28.1 million due to the increase in funding from core deposits and higher customer repurchase agreements of $16.0 million.

Shareholders' Equity. Total shareholders' equity at September 30, 2015 was $259.4 million , representing an increase of $14.3 million, or 6%, since December 31, 2014. The increase was largely due to net income of $19.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, partially offset by dividends paid of $0.90 per share over this period totaling $7.6 million. Our third quarter 2015 dividend declared and paid on October 30, 2015 increased $834,000 over the second quarter of 2015 due to the issuance of 2,749,762 shares on October 16, 2015 in connection with the Merger with SBM. We also incurred equity issuance costs of $537,000 associated with the registration of shares for the Merger with SBM. These costs have been accounted for as a reduction of shareholders' equity as required under GAAP.

The following table presents certain information regarding shareholders’ equity as of or for the periods indicated:



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,						Year Ended December 31, 2014

(2) This is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to "—Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation to GAAP" for further details.

Refer to "—Capital Resources" and Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements further discussion of the Company and Bank's capital resources and regulatory capital requirements.

LIQUIDITY

Our liquidity needs require the availability of cash to meet the withdrawal demands of depositors and credit commitments to borrowers. Liquidity is defined as our ability to maintain availability of funds to meet customer needs, as well as to support our asset base. The primary objective of liquidity management is to maintain a balance between sources and uses of funds to meet our cash flow needs in the most economical and expedient manner. Due to the potential for unexpected fluctuations in both deposits and loans, active management of liquidity is necessary. We maintain various sources of funding and levels of liquid assets in excess of regulatory guidelines in order to satisfy their varied liquidity demands. We monitor liquidity in accordance with internal guidelines and all applicable regulatory requirements. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, our level of liquidity exceeded target levels. We believe that we currently have appropriate liquidity available to respond to liquidity demands. Sources of funds that we utilize consist of deposits, borrowings from the FHLBB and other sources, cash flows from operations, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans, investments and mortgage-backed securities and the sale of mortgage loans.

Deposits continue to represent our primary source of funds. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , average deposits (excluding brokered deposits) of $1.7 billion increased $32.0 million, or 2%, compared to the same period of 2014. Average core deposits of $1.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $50.3 million compared to the same period in 2014, while CDs decreased $18.3 million to $313.7 million. Included within our money market deposit category are deposits from our wealth management subsidiary, Acadia Trust, which represent client funds. The deposits in the Acadia Trust client accounts, totaled $63.3 million at September 30, 2015 . These deposits fluctuate with changes in the portfolios of the clients of Acadia Trust.

Borrowings are used to supplement deposits as a source of liquidity. In addition to borrowings and advances from the FHLBB, we utilize brokered deposits, purchase federal funds, and sell securities under agreements to repurchase. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 average total borrowings (including brokered deposits) increased $91.1 million to $796.3 million compared to the same period for 2014. The increase in average borrowings was driven by an increase brokered deposits of $92.1 million. The increase in average borrowings was to fund our strong loan growth during 2015 and has proven to be a cost effective short-term funding source. We secure borrowings from the FHLBB, whose advances remain the largest non-deposit-related funding source, with qualified residential real estate loans, certain investment securities and certain other assets available to be pledged. Through the Bank, we have available lines of credit with the FHLBB of $9.9 million, with PNC Bank of $50.0 million, and with the FRB Discount Window of $63.4 million as of September 30, 2015 . We had no outstanding balances on these lines of credit at September 30, 2015 . Long-term borrowings represent securities sold under repurchase agreements with major brokerage firms. Both wholesale and customer repurchase agreements are secured by mortgage-backed securities and government-sponsored enterprises. The Company also has a $10.0 million line of credit with a maturity date of December 20, 2015. We had no outstanding balance on these lines of credit at September 30, 2015 .

We believe the investment portfolio and residential loan portfolio provide a significant amount of contingent liquidity that could be accessed in a reasonable time period through sales of those portfolios. We also believe that we have additional untapped access to the brokered deposit market, wholesale reverse repurchase transaction market and the FRB discount window. These sources are considered as liquidity alternatives in our contingent liquidity plan. We believe that the level of liquidity is sufficient to meet current and future funding requirements; however, changes in economic conditions, including consumer saving habits and the availability or access to the national brokered deposit and wholesale repurchase markets, could significantly impact our liquidity position.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

As part of our goal to operate a safe, sound and profitable financial organization, we are committed to maintaining a strong capital base. Shareholders’ equity totaled $259.4 million, $245.1 million and $239.9 million at September 30, 2015 , December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014 , respectively, which amounted to 9% of total assets as of the respective dates. Refer to "— Financial Condition — Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity" for discussion regarding changes in shareholders' equity since December 31, 2014.

Our principal cash requirement is the payment of dividends on our common stock, as and when declared by the Board of Directors. We paid dividends to shareholders in the aggregate amount of $7.6 million and $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Our Board of Directors approves cash dividends on a quarterly basis after careful analysis and consideration of various factors, including the following: (i) capital position relative to total assets, (ii) risk-based assets, (iii) total classified assets, (iv) economic conditions, (v) growth rates for total assets and total liabilities, (vi) earnings performance and projections and (vii) strategic initiatives and related capital requirements. All dividends declared and distributed by the Company will be in compliance with applicable state corporate law and regulatory requirements.

We are primarily dependent upon the payment of cash dividends by our subsidiaries to service our commitments. We, as the sole shareholder of our subsidiaries, are entitled to dividends, when and as declared by each subsidiary’s Board of Directors from legally available funds. The Bank declared dividends in the aggregate amount of $39.2 million, which includes a $30.0 million special dividend related to the acquisition of SBM, and $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Under regulations prescribed by the OCC, without prior OCC approval, the Bank may not declare dividends in any year in excess of the Bank’s (i) net income for the current year, (ii) plus its retained net income for the prior two years. If we are required to use dividends from the Bank to service unforeseen commitments in the future, we may be required to reduce the dividends paid to our shareholders going forward.

Please refer to Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion and details of the Company and Bank's capital regulatory requirements. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company and Bank met all regulatory capital requirements and the Bank continues to be classified as "Well Capitalized" under the prompt correction action provisions.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS

In the normal course of business, we are a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, which are not reflected in the consolidated statements of condition. These financial instruments include lending commitments and letters of credit. Those instruments involve varying degrees of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of condition. We follow the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments, including requiring similar collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At September 30, 2015 , we had the following levels of commitments to extend credit:



	Total Amount		Commitment Expires in:
(Dollars in Thousands)	Committed		<1 Year		1 – 3 Years		4 – 5 Years		>5 Years
Letters of Credit	$	2,436	$	2,436	$	—	$	—	$	—

(1) Includes contingent rentals, which are based on the Consumer Price Index and reset every five years. Total contingent rentals for year one through year five are $4,000.

Borrowings from the FHLBB consist of short- and long-term fixed- and variable-rate borrowings and are collateralized by all stock in the FHLBB and a blanket lien on qualified collateral consisting primarily of loans with first mortgages secured by one- to four-family properties, certain pledged investment securities and other qualified assets. Other borrowed funds include securities sold under repurchase agreements and our junior subordinated debentures scheduled to mature in 2036. We have an obligation and commitment to repay all borrowings and debentures. These commitments, borrowings, junior subordinated debentures and the related payments are made during the normal course of business.

We may enter into derivative instruments as partial hedges against large fluctuations in interest rates. We may also enter into fixed-rate interest rate swaps and floor instruments to partially hedge against potentially lower yields on the variable prime rate loan category in a declining rate environment. If interest rates were to decline, resulting in reduced income on the adjustable rate loans, there would be an increased income flow from the interest rate swap and floor instrument. We may also enter into variable rate interest rate swaps and cap instruments to partially hedge against increases in short-term borrowing rates. If interest rates were to rise, resulting in an increased interest cost, there would be an increased income flow from the interest rate swaps and cap instruments. These financial instruments are factored into our overall interest rate risk position. We regularly review the credit quality of the counterparty from which the instruments have been purchased.

At September 30, 2015 , we had $43.0 million of notional in interest rate swaps on our junior subordinated debentures. The arrangement allowed us to fix our floating rate debentures and mitigate our interest exposure in a rising rate environment. In February 2015, we entered into two forward interest rate swap agreements with a counterparty for a total notional of $50.0 million. These arrangements are scheduled to commence on February 25, 2016 and will provide us fixed rate borrowings for a 2 and 3 year period at interest rates of 1.54% and 1.74%, respectively. Refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for additional details of these arrangements, including the fair value as of September 30, 2015 and the accounting treatment.

At September 30, 2015 , we had a notional amount of $85.7 million in interest rate swap agreements with commercial customers and an equal notional amount with a dealer bank related to our commercial loan level derivative program. This program allows us to retain variable-rate commercial loans while allowing the customer to synthetically fix the loan rate by entering into a variable- for fixed- interest rate swap. It is anticipated that, over time, customer interest rate derivatives will reduce the interest rate risk inherent in the longer-term, fixed-rate commercial business. Refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for additional details of these arrangements, including the fair value as of September 30, 2015 and the accounting treatment.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss to earnings, capital and the economic values of certain assets and liabilities arising from adverse changes to interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity prices. Our only significant market risk exposure is interest rate risk. The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of our asset/liability management process, which is governed by policies established by the Bank’s board of directors, and are reviewed and approved annually. The Board ALCO delegates responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability management policies to Management ALCO. In this capacity, Management ALCO develops guidelines and strategies impacting our asset/liability management-related activities based upon estimated interest rate risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels/trends. Management ALCO and Board ALCO jointly meet on a quarterly basis to review strategies, policies, economic conditions and various activities as part of the management of these risks. Management ALCO manages interest rate risk by using two risk measurement techniques: (i) simulation of net interest income and (ii) simulation of economic value of equity. These measures are complementary and provide for both short and long-term risk profiles of the Company.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates change, the interest income and expense streams associated with our financial instruments also change, thereby impacting net interest income, the primary component of our earnings. Board ALCO and Management ALCO utilize the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. Board ALCO and Management ALCO routinely monitor simulated net interest income sensitivity over a rolling five-year horizon.

The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates, interest rate indices and spreads, rate caps and floors on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reflected on our consolidated statements of condition, as well as for derivative financial instruments, if any. The simulation of net interest income also requires a number of key assumptions such as: (i) no balance sheet growth, (ii) the future balance sheet mix, including prepayment assumptions for loans and securities projected under each rate scenario, (iii) new business loan rates that are based on recent origination experience, (iv) deposit pricing beta assumptions, and (v) non-maturity decay rates estimates. These assumptions can be inherently uncertain, and, as a result, actual results may differ from the simulation forecasts due to the timing, magnitude and frequency of rate changes, future business conditions and unanticipated changes in management strategies. This sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one- and two-year horizon given a 200 basis point upward and downward shift in interest rates. Although our policy specifies a downward shift of 200 basis points, this would results in negative rates as many deposit and funding rates are now below 2.00%. Our current downward shift is 100 basis points. A parallel and pro rata shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed. Using this approach, we are able to produce simulation results that illustrate the effect that both a gradual change of rates have on earnings expectations. In the down 100 basis points scenario, Federal Funds and Treasury yields are floored at 0.01% while Prime is floored at 3.00%. All other market rates are floored at 0.25%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our net interest income sensitivity analysis reflected the following changes to net interest income. All rate changes were “ramped” over the first 12-month period and then maintained at those levels over the remainder of the ALCO simulation horizon.



	Estimated Changes In Net Interest Income
Rate Change from Year 1 - Base	September 30, 2015		September 30, 2014
Year 1
+200 basis points	(5.39	)%	(6.07	)%
-100 basis points	(0.80	)%	(0.36	)%
Year 2
+200 basis points	(5.23	)%	(5.20	)%
-100 basis points	(4.53	)%	(3.41	)%

The most significant factors affecting the changes in market risk exposure for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were loan growth, an increasing mix of variable loans and short-term funding. If rates remain at or near current levels, net interest income is projected to be virtually flat as loan rates have repriced to current rates and the cost of funds remains unchanged. Beyond the first year, net interest income also remains flat. If rates decrease 100 basis points, net interest income is projected to decrease slightly as changes in loan and funding costs almost offset in the first year. In the second year, net interest income is projected to decrease as loans and investment cash flow reprice into lower yields primarily due to prepayments while there is limited ability to reduce the cost of funds. If rates increase 200 basis points, net interest income is projected to decrease in the first year due to the repricing of short-term funding. Then in the second year, cost of funds stabilize and the reinvestment of loan and investment cash flows reprice to higher yields but is insufficient to exceed our base net interest income. In year's three to five, the loan and investment cash flows continue to reprice as the cost of funds lags increasing net interest income above our base as the balance sheet shifts to being asset sensitive.

The economic value of equity at risk simulation is conducted in tandem with the net interest income simulations, to determine a longer term view of the Company’s interest rate risk position by capturing longer-term re-pricing risk and option-risk embedded in the balance sheet. It measures the sensitivity of economic value of equity to changes in interest rates. The economic value of equity at risk simulation values only the current balance sheet. As with net interest income modeling, this simulation captures product characteristics such as loan resets, re-pricing terms, maturity dates, rate caps and floors. Key assumptions include loan prepayment speeds, deposit pricing betas and non-maturity deposit decay rates. These assumptions can have significant impacts on valuation results as the assumptions remain in effect for the entire life of each asset and liability. All key assumptions are subject to a periodic review.

Our base case economic value of equity at risk is calculated by estimating the net present value of all future cash flows from existing assets and liabilities using current interest rates. The base case scenario assumes that future interest rates remain unchanged.



	Economic Value of Equity
	September 30, 2015		September 30, 2014
+200 basis points	8.60	%	8.49	%
+100 basis points	9.18	%	9.20	%
Base	9.66	%	9.85	%
-100 basis points	8.79	%	9.35	%

Periodically, if deemed appropriate, we use interest rate swaps, floors and caps, which are common derivative financial instruments, to hedge our interest rate risk position. The Company’s Board of Directors has approved hedging policy statements governing the use of these instruments. At September 30, 2015, we had $43.0 million notional principal amount of interest rate swap agreements related to our junior subordinated debentures, $50.0 million notional principal amount of forward-starting interest rate swap agreements related to our short-term funding and $171.3 million notional principal amount of interest rate swap agreements related to the Company’s commercial loan level derivative program. The Board ALCO and Management ALCO monitor derivative activities relative to their expectations and our hedging policies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company’s management conducted an evaluation with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial & Accounting Officer), regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the last fiscal quarter covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company and its management recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial & Accounting Officer) concluded that they believe the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

There was no change in the internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
