HORIZON FINANCIAL CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004
(unaudited)


NOTE 1 -

Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------


The consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months
ended June 30, 2004, include the accounts of Horizon Financial Corp. (the
Corporation), Horizon Bank (the Bank), and other subsidiaries of the Bank.
Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The Corporation has engaged in no significant activity other
than holding the stock of the Bank.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in
the consolidated financial statements. Changes in these estimates and
assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material impact
on the financial statements and thus actual results could differ from the
amounts reported and disclosed herein.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to the
Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in
the interim financial statements. The results of operations for the periods
ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Horizon Financial Corp.
annual report for the year ended March 31, 2004.


Reclassification
- ----------------


Certain reclassifications have been made to prior financial statements to
conform with current presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on
net income.


Net Income Per Share
- --------------------


Basic earnings per share (EPS) for the three months ended June 30, 2004
and 2003 are calculated on the basis of 10,360,624 and 10,551,570 weighted
average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30,
2004 and 2003 are calculated on the basis of 10,524,783 and 10,770,467
weighted average shares outstanding, respectively. Diluted EPS figures are
computed by determining the number of additional shares that are deemed
outstanding due to stock options and warrants under the treasury stock method.

7





Stock Options
- -------------

The Corporation recognizes the financial effects of stock options under
the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). Generally,
stock options are issued at a price equal to the fair value of the Company's
stock as of the grant date.

Under APB 25, options issued in this manner do not result in the
recognition of employee compensation in the Corporation's financial
statements. Disclosures required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended are as follows:

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding the
financial condition and results of operations of the Corporation and its
subsidiary. The information contained in this section should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying
Notes contained herein.

Forward Looking Statements
- --------------------------

Management's Discussion and Analysis and other portions of this report
contain certain "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This statement is for the express
purpose of availing the Corporation of the protections of such safe harbor
provisions of said Act with respect to all "forward looking statements." The
Corporation has used "forward looking statements" to describe future plans and
strategies, including expectations of its potential future financial results.
Management's ability to predict results or the effect of future plans and
strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors that could affect results
include, but are not limited to: the future level of interest rates, loan
demand, industry trends, general economic conditions, loan delinquency rates,
and changes in state and federal regulations. These factors should be
considered when evaluating the "forward looking statements" and undue reliance
should not be placed on such statements.

General
- -------

Horizon Financial Corp. was formed under Washington law on May 22, 1995,
and became the holding company for Horizon Bank, effective October 13, 1995.
Effective June 19, 1999, the Corporation completed the acquisition of
Bellingham Bancorporation, whose wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of Bellingham,
was merged with and into Horizon Bank. At June 30, 2004, the Corporation had
total assets of $877.5 million, total deposits of $679.9 million and total
equity of $107.6 million. The Corporation's business activities generally are
limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in
the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth herein, including the
consolidated financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the
Bank and its subsidiary.

The Bank was organized in 1922 as a Washington State chartered mutual
savings and loan association and converted to a federal mutual savings and
loan association in 1934. In 1979, the Bank converted to a Washington State
chartered mutual savings bank, the deposits of which are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). On August 12, 1986, the Bank
converted to a state chartered stock savings bank under the name "Horizon
Bank, a savings bank". The Bank became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank
(FHLB) of Seattle in December 1998. Effective March 1, 2000, the Bank changed
its name to its current title, "Horizon Bank".

The Bank's operations are conducted through 16 full-service office
facilities, located in Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish counties in Northwest
Washington. The acquisition of Bellingham Bancorporation increased the
Corporation's and the Bank's presence in Whatcom County. During fiscal 2000,
the Bank purchased a bank site in Marysville. In fiscal 2002, the Bank
acquired a bank site in Lynnwood, Washington, which was remodeled and opened
for business in March 2003. The Bank opened commercial banking/loan centers
in Bellingham, Snohomish and Everett and expanded its operations in Burlington
during the first quarter of fiscal 2004. In June 2004, the Bank purchased a
building that was formerly occupied by another bank in the city of Lakewood,
located in Pierce County, just south of Tacoma. The estimated opening for the
Lakewood office is January 2005. Future plans for the Bank include the
opening of a full service office in Marysville during fiscal 2005 and a full
service office in Everett during fiscal 2006, which will replace the Bank's
existing Everett office.

The Corporation's results of operations depend primarily on revenue
generated as a result of its net interest income and non-interest income. Net
interest income is the difference between the interest income the Corporation
earns on its interest-earning assets (consisting primarily of loans and
investment securities) and the interest the Corporation pays on its
interest-bearing liabilities (consisting primarily of customer savings and
money market accounts, time deposits and borrowings). Non-interest income
consists primarily of service charges on deposit and loan accounts, gains on
the sale of loans and investments, and loan servicing fees. The Corporation's
results of operations are also affected by its provisions for loan losses and
other expenses. Other expenses consist primarily of non-interest expense,
including compensation and benefits, occupancy, equipment, data processing,
marketing, automated teller machine costs and, when applicable, deposit
insurance premiums. The Corporation's results of operations may also be
affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive
conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and
actions of regulatory authorities.

9





Operating Strategy
- ------------------

The Corporation does not presently engage in any activities outside of
serving as a shell parent company for the Bank. The operating strategy of the
Corporation has been to expand and diversify the consolidated operations of
the Corporation across a variety of companies and/or operating units that are
engaged in complementary, but different, businesses and/or operating
strategies. This diversification strategy is expected to continue as
opportunities arise, although there are no specific acquisitions or new
business formations planned at this time.

The primary business of the Bank is to acquire funds in the form of
deposits and wholesale funds, and to use the funds to make commercial,
consumer, and real estate loans in its primary market area. In addition, the
Bank invests in a variety of investment grade securities including, but not
necessarily limited to U.S. Government and federal agency obligations,
mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt, equity securities, and municipal
securities. The Bank intends to continue to fund its assets primarily with
retail and commercial deposits, although FHLB advances and other wholesale
borrowings may be used as a supplemental source of funds.

The Corporation's profitability depends primarily on its net interest
income, which is the difference between the income it receives on the Bank's
loan and investment portfolio and the Bank's cost of funds, which consists of
interest paid on deposits and borrowings.

Net interest income is also affected by the relative amounts of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. When
interest-earning assets equal or exceed interest-bearing liabilities, any
positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income. The
Corporation's profitability is also affected by the level of the Bank's other
income and expenses. Other noninterest income includes income associated with
the origination and sale of mortgage loans, loan servicing fees and net gains
and losses on sales of interest-earning assets. Other noninterest expenses
include compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, deposit
insurance premiums, data servicing expenses and other operating costs. The
Corporation's results of operations are also significantly affected by general
economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest
rates, government legislation, regulation, and monetary and fiscal policies.

The Bank's business strategy is to operate as a well-capitalized,
profitable and independent community bank, dedicated to commercial lending,
home mortgage lending, consumer lending, small business lending and providing
quality financial services to local personal and business customers. The Bank
has sought to implement this strategy by: (i) focusing on commercial banking
opportunities; (ii) continued efforts towards the origination of residential
mortgage loans, including one to four family residential construction loans;
(iii) providing high quality, personalized financial services to individuals
and business customers and communities served by its branch network; (iv)
selling many of its fixed rate mortgages to the secondary market; (v) focusing
on asset quality; (vi) containing operating expenses; and (vii) maintaining
capital in excess of regulatory requirements combined with prudent growth.

Total consolidated assets for the Corporation as of June 30, 2004, were
$877,542,766, a 2.2% increase from the March 31, 2004, level of $858,875,881.
This increase in assets was due primarily to the growth in loans receivable,
which increased 4.9% to $690,508,898 from $658,226,144 at March 31, 2004. The
following is an analysis of the loan portfolio by major type of loans:

Also contributing to the change in assets was the decline in available for
sale (AFS) investment and mortgage-backed securities, which, combined,
decreased to $106,475,067 from $112,943,685 at March 31, 2004.

Total liabilities also increased slightly to $769,963,941 at June 30,
2004, from $749,568,888 at March 31, 2004. This increase in liabilities was
due in large part to the growth in other borrowed funds, which increased 18.3%
to $79,832,863 from $67,468,842 at March 31, 2004. The Bank borrowed
additional funds from the FHLB to help fund the growth in net loans receivable
to $690,508,898. Also contributing to the net change in total liabilities was
the slight increase in deposits, to

11





$679,918,924 from $670,259,218 at March 31, 2004. The following is an

Stockholders' equity at June 30, 2004 decreased 1.6% to $107,578,825 from
$109,306,993 at March 31, 2004. This decrease was due primarily to the
decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income to $3,623,059 at June 30,
2004 from $5,226,207 at March 31, 2004. The primary reason for the decline
was the decrease in fair market value of various securities in the Bank's
portfolio due to rising interest rates. The Corporation remains strong in
terms of its capital position, with a stockholder equity-to-assets ratio of
12.3% at June 30, 2004, compared to 12.73% at March 31, 2004.



Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Bank maintains liquid assets in the form of cash and short-term
investments to provide a source to fund loans, savings withdrawals, and other
short-term cash requirements. At June 30, 2004, the Bank had liquid assets
(cash and marketable securities with maturities of one year or less) with a
book value of $71,033,843.

As of June 30, 2004, the total book value of investments and
mortgage-backed securities was $102,691,682 compared to a market value of
$108,371,464 with an unrealized gain of $5,679,782. As of March 31, 2004, the
total book value of investments and mortgage-backed securities was
$106,938,668, compared to a market value of $114,997,574 with an unrealized
gain of $8,058,906. The Bank foresees no factors that would impair its
ability to hold debt securities to maturity.

As indicated on the Corporation's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows,
the Bank's primary sources of funds are cash flow from operations, which
consist primarily of mortgage loan repayments, deposit increases, loan sales,
borrowings and cash received from the maturity or sale of investment
securities. The Bank's liquidity fluctuates with the supply of funds and
management believes that the current level of liquidity is adequate at this
time. If additional liquidity is needed, the Bank's options include, but are
not necessarily limited to: 1) selling additional loans in the secondary
market; 2) entering into reverse repurchase agreements; 3) borrowing from the
FHLB of Seattle; 4) accepting additional jumbo and/or public funds deposits;
or 5) accessing the discount window of the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco.

Stockholders' equity as of June 30, 2004 was $107,578,825, or 12.26% of
assets, compared to $109,306,993, or 12.73% of assets at March 31, 2004. The
Bank continues to exceed the 5.0% minimum tier one capital required by the
FDIC in order to be considered well capitalized. The Bank's total
risk-adjusted capital ratio as of June 30, 2004 was 15.9%, compared to 16.6%
as of March 31, 2004. These figures are well above the well-capitalized
minimum of 10% set by the FDIC.

The Corporation has been in various stock buy-back programs since August
1996. In March 2004, the Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase
plan that runs concurrent with the 2005 fiscal year, allowing the Corporation
to repurchase up to 10% of total shares outstanding, or approximately 1.04
million shares. This marked the Corporation's sixth stock repurchase plan.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Corporation repurchased 125,397
shares at an average price of $17.819.

Management intends to continue its stock buy-back programs from time to
time as long as repurchasing the stock contributes to the overall growth of
shareholder value. The number of shares of stock that will be repurchased and
the price that will be paid is the result of many factors, several of which
are outside of the Corporation's control. The primary factors, however, are
market and economic factors such as the price at which the stock is trading in
the market, the number of shares

12





available in the market; the attractiveness of other investment alternatives
in terms of the rate of return and risk involved in the investment; the
ability to increase the value and/or earnings per share of the remaining
outstanding shares and the Bank's and the Corporation's liquidity and capital
needs and regulatory requirements. Presently, it is management's belief that
purchases made under the current Board approved plan will not materially
affect the Bank's capital or liquidity position.

Net Interest Income
- -------------------

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 increased
1.1% to $8,446,988 from $8,358,135 in the same time period of the previous
year. Interest on loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 increased
slightly to $11,065,554, from $11,054,413. Included in these numbers are
$166,381 and $607,739, respectively of deferred fee income recognition as a
result of loan paydowns, payoffs, and loans sold from the available for sale
mortgage portfolio. Interest and dividends on investments and mortgage-backed
securities decreased 22.7% to $1,112,656, from $1,440,174 for the comparable
quarter a year ago. This decrease was due to an lower level of investments
and mortgage backed securities outstanding at June 30, 2004 of $125,748,394
versus $160,948,273 at June 30, 2003. Total interest income decreased 2.5% to
$12,178,210 from $12,494,587 in the comparable period one year ago.

Total interest paid on deposits decreased 12.0% to $3,142,172 at June 30,
2004 from $3,572,455 at June 30, 2003. This decrease in interest expense is
due to an overall decline in interest rates. Interest on borrowings increased
to $589,050 during the quarter ended June 30, 2004, compared to $563,997 for
the comparable period one year ago. The increased expense in the current year
was due to a higher level of borrowings outstanding. The Bank continues to
carry wholesale borrowings in order to further leverage its balance sheet and
better manage its interest rate risk profile.

Provision for losses on loans
- -----------------------------

Provisions for loan losses are charges to earnings to bring the total
allowance for loan losses to a level considered by management as adequate to
provide for known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, based on
management's continuing analysis of factors underlying the quality of the loan
portfolio. These factors include changes in portfolio size and composition,
actual loss experience, current economic conditions, detailed analysis of
individual loans for which full collectibility may not be assured, and
determination of the existence and realizable value of the collateral and
guarantees securing the loans.

The provision for loan losses was $300,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
2004 compared to $525,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 This decrease
resulted from management's ongoing analysis of changes in loan portfolio
composition by collateral categories, overall credit quality of the portfolio,
peer group analysis and current economic conditions. The reserve for loan
losses was $10,534,187, or 1.53% of net loans receivable at June 30, 2004,
compared to $8,768,273, or 1.46% of net loans receivable at June 30 2003. The
increased reserve level at June 30, 2004 compared to the June quarter one year
ago was due to the continued loan portfolio growth in the higher-risk lending
categories of commercial and multi-family construction/permanent loans and
business loans during the period, which comprised $483.6 million, or 70.1% of
the portfolio at June 30, 2004, versus $402.6 million, or 67.0% at June 30,
2003.

As of June 30, 2004, there were three loans in the Bank's portfolio over
90 days delinquent and no loans on nonaccrual status. At June 30, 2004 total
non-performing loans were $133,030. Real estate owned at June 30, 2004
totaled $63,432. Total non-performing assets represented .02% of total assets
at June 30, 2004 compared to $502,412 or .06% of total assets at June 30,
2003.

As of June 30,
Non-Performing Assets 2004 2003
-------- --------

Accruing loans - 90 days past due $133,030 $348,764
Non-accrual loans - 346
-------- --------
Total non-performing loans 133,030 349,110
Total non-performing loans/net loans 0.02% 0.06%

-------- --------
Total non-performing assets 196,462 502,412
-------- --------
Total non-performing assets/total assets 0.02% 0.06%

Noninterest Income
- ------------------

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 decreased
12.9% to $1,768,978 from $2,031,321 for the same time period a year ago.
Service fee income increased 14.4% to $844,418 from $738,189. The primary
reason for the increase over the prior year was increased deposit related fees
due to the growth in deposits outstanding and revisions to the Bank's fee
schedules during fiscal 2004. The net gain on the sale of loans servicing
released decreased to $335,104 from $794,535 in the comparable period one year
ago. The recent low mortgage rate environment was the primary reason for the
increased amount in the prior year. The net gain on sales of investment
securities increased to $317,311 in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from
$4,348 in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The gains in the current period
were due primarily to the sale of selected common stocks from the AFS
investment portfolio. Other non interest income for the quarter decreased
46.7% to $262,162 from $492,134. The primary reason for the increase in the
prior period was the recognition of approximately $96,000 in profit from a
real estate development project from a joint venture of the Bank's wholly
owned subsidiary, Westward Financial Services Corporation and approximately
$61,000 recognized in profit on sale of other real estate owned.

Noninterest Expense
- -------------------

Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004 increased
6.1% to $5,213,821 from $4,915,759. Compensation and employee benefits
increased 8.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 to $3,010,924 from
$2,779,136. The increase in compensation and employee benefits was primarily
due to the overall growth in employment at the Bank, including key additions
to staff as the Bank continues its efforts to enhance its commercial banking
expertise. Building occupancy for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 increased
6.1% to $642,506 from $605,572. Data processing expenses increased 133.7% to
$192,478 from $82,349. The primary reason for the lesser amount in the prior
period relates to a renegotiation of the Bank's contract with its core data
processor which included substantial concessions in the first quarter of
fiscal 2004, and a reduced monthly expense thereafter. Advertising and
marketing expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 decreased 10.8% to
$189,274 from $212,136. The increased levels in the prior period were due
primarily to the transition to a new advertising and marketing agency, and the
development of a new brand strategy for the Bank. Other non-interest expense
decreased slightly to $1,178,639 from $1,236,566 due a decreasing mortgage
servicing portfolio which results in less amortization related to the loan
service asset.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Corporation continues to be exposed to interest rate risk.
Currently, the Corporation's assets and liabilities are not materially exposed
to foreign currency or commodity price risk. At June 30, 2004, the
Corporation had no off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments, nor did
it have a trading portfolio of investments. At June 30, 2004, there were no
material changes in the Corporation's market risk from the information
provided in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
- ------------------------------------------------

An evaluation of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Section 13(a)-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Act")) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of
the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and
several other members of the Corporation's senior management as of the end of
the period preceding the filing date of this quarterly report. The
Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as currently in
effect are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed
by the Corporation in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i)
accumulated and communicated to the Corporation's management (including the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and
(ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Controls
- ----------------------------

In the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Corporation did not make any
significant changes in, nor take any corrective actions regarding, its
internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these
controls.
