Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	On March 25,2009, the reporting person filed a Form 4 (the "Original Form 4") reporting the exercise of an option on March 24, 2009 to purchase 300 shares of common stock and the sale of those shares in 3 transactions at prices ranging from $22.57 to $23.46. This amendment amends the Original Form 4 to clarify that the reporting person's exercise of the stock option resulted in the acquisition of the underlying shares of common stock. Also on March 25, the reporting person mistakenly filed a second Form 4 (the "Second Form 4") reporting, again, the purchase of 300 shares of common stock, but indicating that the purchase occurred on March 25, 2009. (continued on Footnote 2)
(2)	(continued from footnote 1) On April 6, 2009, the reporting person filed an amendment to the Second Form 4 (the "Amendment") to explain that the purchase occurred on March 24, 2009 and was the same acquisition reported earlier on March 24 as an option exercise. This amendment amends only the Original Form 4. As evidence by the filing of the Amendment, the Second Form 4 was filed in error and should be disregarded.
(3)	Grant of Incentive Stock Options to acquire 10,000 shares of Bar Harbor Bankshares Common Stock under the Bar Harbor Bankshares (and subsidiaries) Stock Option Plan of 2000. Options become exercisable with respect to 1,480 shares on 6/20/2002 and in 6 annual increments of 1,420 shares eginning on 6/20/2003. These options expire on 6/20/2011.
