Commission on February 5, 1998. The Company assumes no obligation to update any
such forward-looking statements.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Harris Preferred Capital Corporation is a Maryland Corporation incorporated
on September 24, 1997, pursuant to the Maryland General Corporation Law. The
Company's principal business objective is to acquire, hold, finance and manage
qualifying real estate investment trust ("REIT") assets (the "Mortgage Assets"),
consisting of a limited recourse note or notes (the "Notes") issued by Harris
Trust and Savings Bank (the "Bank") secured by real estate mortgage assets (the
"Securing Mortgage Loans") and other obligations secured by real property, as
well as certain other qualifying REIT assets. The Company's assets are held in a
Maryland real estate investment trust subsidiary, Harris Preferred Capital
Trust. The Company has elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), and will generally not be subject to federal
income tax if it distributes 90% (95% for years prior to January 1, 2001) of its
adjusted REIT ordinary taxable income and meets all of the qualifications
necessary to be a REIT. All of the shares of the Company's common stock, par
value $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), are owned by Harris Capital
Holdings, Inc. ("HCH"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. The Company was
formed by the Bank to provide investors with the opportunity to invest in
residential mortgages and other real estate assets and to provide the Bank with
a cost-effective means of raising capital for federal regulatory purposes.

On February 11, 1998, the Company through a public offering (the
"Offering") issued 10,000,000 shares of its 7 3/8% Noncumulative Exchangeable
Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Preferred Shares"), $1.00 par value. The
Offering raised $250 million less $7.9 million of underwriting fees. The
Preferred Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "HBC
Pr A". Holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, if declared by the
Company's Board of Directors, noncumulative dividends at a rate of 7 3/8 per
annum of the $25 per share liquidation preference (an amount equivalent to
$1.8438 per share per annum). Dividends on the Preferred Shares, if authorized
and declared, are payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September
30 and December 30 of each year. Except upon the occurrence of certain events,
the Preferred Shares are not redeemable by the Company prior to March 30, 2003.
On or after such date, the Preferred Shares may be redeemed for cash at the
option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time,
at the principal amount thereof, plus the quarterly accrued and unpaid
dividends, if any, thereon. The Company may not redeem the Preferred Shares
without prior approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
or the appropriate successor federal regulatory agency.

2


Each Preferred Share will be automatically exchanged for one newly issued
Bank Preferred Share in the event (i) the Bank becomes less than "adequately
capitalized" under regulations established pursuant to the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, as amended, (ii) the Bank is
placed into conservatorship or receivership, (iii) the Board of Governors
directs such exchange in writing because, in its sole discretion and even if the
Bank is not less than "adequately capitalized," the Board of Governors
anticipates that the Bank may become less than adequately capitalized in the
near term, or (iv) the Board of Governors in its sole discretion directs in
writing an exchange in the event that the Bank has a Tier 1 risk-based capital
ratio of less than 5%. In the event of an exchange, the Bank Preferred Shares
would constitute a new series of preferred shares of the Bank, would have the
same dividend rights, liquidation preference, redemption options and other
attributes as the Preferred Shares, except that the Bank Preferred Shares would
not be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and would rank pari passu in terms
of cash dividend payments and liquidation preference with any outstanding shares
of preferred stock of the Bank.

Concurrent with the issuance of the Preferred Shares, the Bank contributed
additional capital of $241 million, net of acquisition costs, to the Company.
The Company and the Bank undertook the Offering for two principal reasons: (i)
the qualification of the Preferred Shares as Tier 1 capital of the Bank for U.S.
banking regulatory purposes under relevant regulatory capital guidelines, as a
result of the treatment of the Preferred Shares as a minority interest in a
consolidated subsidiary of the Bank, and (ii) lack of federal income tax on the
Company's earnings used to pay the dividends on the Preferred Shares, as a
result of the Company's qualification as a REIT. On December 30, 1998, the Bank
contributed the common stock of the Company to HCH, a newly-formed and
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. The Bank is required to maintain direct or
indirect ownership of at least 80% of the outstanding Common Stock of the
Company for as long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding. At December 31,
2002, the Bank indirectly owned 100% of the Common Stock of the Company.

The Company used the Offering proceeds and the additional capital
contributed by the Bank to purchase $356 million of notes (the "Notes") from the
Bank and $135 million of mortgage-backed securities at their estimated fair
value. The Notes are obligations issued by the Bank that are recourse only to
the underlying mortgage loans (the "Securing Mortgage Loans") and were acquired
pursuant to the terms of a loan agreement with the Bank. The principal amount of
the Notes equals approximately 80% of the principal amounts of the Securing
Mortgage Loans.

Business

The Company was formed for the purpose of raising capital for the Bank. One
of the Company's principal business objectives is to acquire, hold, finance and
manage Mortgage Assets. These Mortgage Assets generate interest income for
distribution to stockholders. A portion of the Mortgage Assets of the Company
consists of Notes issued by the Bank that are recourse only to Securing Mortgage
Loans that are secured by real property. The Notes mature on October 1, 2027 and
pay interest at 6.4% per annum. Payments of interest are made to the Company
from payments made on the Securing Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to an agreement
between the Company and the Bank, the Company, through the Bank as agent,
receives all scheduled payments made on the Securing Mortgage Loans, retains a
portion of any such payments equal to the amount due on the Notes and remits the
balance, if any, to the Bank. The Company also retains approximately 80% of any
prepayments of principal in respect of the Securing Mortgage Loans and applies
such amounts as a prepayment on the Notes. The Company has a security interest
in the real property securing the Securing Mortgage Loans and will be entitled
to enforce payment on the loans in its own name if a mortgagor should default.
In the event of such default, the Company would have the same rights as the
original mortgagee to foreclose the mortgaged property and satisfy the
obligations of the Bank out of the proceeds.

The Company may from time to time acquire fixed-rate or variable-rate
mortgage-backed securities representing interests in pools of mortgage loans.
The Bank may have originated a portion of any such mortgage-backed securities by
exchanging pools of mortgage loans for the mortgage-backed securities. The
mortgage loans underlying the mortgage-backed securities will be secured by
single-family residential properties located throughout the United States. The
Company intends to acquire only investment grade mortgage-backed securities
issued by agencies of the federal government or government sponsored agencies,
3


such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), the Federal
National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and the Government National
Mortgage Association ("GNMA"). The Company does not intend to acquire any
interest-only, principal-only or similar speculative mortgage-backed securities.

The Bank may from time to time acquire or originate both conforming and
nonconforming residential mortgage loans. Conventional conforming residential
mortgage loans comply with the requirements for inclusion in a loan guarantee
program sponsored by either FHLMC or Fannie Mae. Nonconforming residential
mortgage loans are residential mortgage loans that do not qualify in one or more
respects for purchase by Fannie Mae or FHLMC under their standard programs. The
nonconforming residential mortgage loans that the Company purchases will be
nonconforming because they have original principal balances which exceed the
limits for FHLMC or Fannie Mae under their standard programs. The Company
believes that all residential mortgage loans will meet the requirements for sale
to national private mortgage conduit programs or other investors in the
secondary mortgage market. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and for each of the
years then ended, the Company did not directly hold any residential mortgage
loans.

The Company may from time to time acquire commercial mortgage loans secured
by industrial and warehouse properties, recreational facilities, office
buildings, retail space and shopping malls, hotels and motels, hospitals,
nursing homes or senior living centers. The Company's current policy is not to
acquire any interest in a commercial mortgage loan if commercial mortgage loans
would constitute more than 5% of the Company's Mortgage Assets at the time of
its acquisition. Unlike residential mortgage loans, commercial mortgage loans
generally lack standardized terms. Commercial real estate properties themselves
tend to be unique and are more difficult to value than residential real estate
properties. Commercial mortgage loans may also not be fully amortizing, meaning
that they may have a significant principal balance or "balloon" payment due on
maturity. Moreover, commercial properties, particularly industrial and warehouse
properties, are generally subject to relatively greater environmental risks than
non-commercial properties, generally giving rise to increased costs of
compliance with environmental laws and regulations. There is no requirement
regarding the percentage of any commercial real estate property that must be
leased at the time the Bank acquires a commercial mortgage loan secured by such
commercial real estate property, and there is no requirement that commercial
mortgage loans have third party guarantees. The credit quality of a commercial
mortgage loan may depend on, among other factors, the existence and structure of
underlying leases, the physical condition of the property (including whether any
maintenance has been deferred), the creditworthiness of tenants, the historical
and anticipated level of vacancies and rents on the property and on other
comparable properties located in the same region, potential or existing
environmental risks, the availability of credit to refinance the commercial
mortgage loan at or prior to maturity and the local and regional economic
climate in general. Foreclosures of defaulted commercial mortgage loans are
generally subject to a number of complicated factors, including environmental
considerations, which are generally not present in foreclosures of residential
mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and for each of the years then
ended, the Company did not hold any commercial mortgage loans.

The Company may invest in assets eligible to be held by REITs other than
those described above. In addition to commercial mortgage loans and mortgage
loans secured by multi-family properties, such assets could include cash, cash
equivalents and securities, including shares or interests in other REITs and
partnership interests. At December 31, 2002 the Company held $20 million of
short-term money market assets and $80 million of U.S. Treasury securities. At
December 31, 2001 the Company held $21 million of short-term money market assets
and $85 million of U.S. Treasury securities.

The Company intends to continue to acquire Mortgage Assets from the Bank
and/or affiliates of the Bank on terms that are comparable to those that could
be obtained by the Company if such Mortgage Assets were purchased from unrelated
third parties. The Company may also from time to time acquire Mortgage Assets
from unrelated third parties.

The Company intends to maintain a substantial portion of its portfolio in
Bank-secured obligations and mortgage-backed securities. The Company may,
however, invest in other assets eligible to be held by a REIT. The Company's
current policy and the Servicing Agreement (defined below) prohibit the
acquisition of any

4


Mortgage Asset constituting an interest in a mortgage loan (other than an
interest resulting from the acquisition of mortgage-backed securities), which
mortgage loan (i) is delinquent (more than 30 days past due) in the payment of
principal or interest at the time of proposed acquisition; (ii) is or was at any
time during the preceding 12 months (a) on nonaccrual status or (b) renegotiated
due to financial deterioration of the borrower; or (iii) has been, more than
once during the preceding 12 months, more than 30 days past due in payment of
principal or interest. Loans that are on "nonaccrual status" are generally loans
that are past due 90 days or more in principal or interest. The Company
maintains a policy of disposing of any mortgage loan which (i) falls into
nonaccrual status, (ii) has to be renegotiated due to the financial
deterioration of the borrower, or (iii) is more than 30 days past due in the
payment of principal or interest more than once in any 12 month period. The
Company may choose, at any time subsequent to its acquisition of any Mortgage
Assets, to require the Bank (as part of the Servicing Agreement) to dispose of
the mortgage loans for any of these reasons or for any other reason.

The Bank services the Securing Mortgage Loans and the other mortgage loans
purchased by the Company on behalf of, and as agent for, the Company and is
entitled to receive fees in connection with the servicing thereof pursuant to
the servicing agreement (the "Servicing Agreement"). The Bank receives a fee
equal to 0.25% per annum on the principal balances of the loans serviced.
Payment of such fees is subordinate to payments of dividends on the Preferred
Shares. The Servicing Agreement requires the Bank to service the loans in a
manner generally consistent with accepted secondary market practices, with any
servicing guidelines promulgated by the Company and, in the case of residential
mortgage loans, with Fannie Mae and FHLMC guidelines and procedures. The
Servicing Agreement requires the Bank to service the loans solely with a view
toward the interest of the Company and without regard to the interest of the
Bank or any of its affiliates. The Bank will collect and remit principal and
interest payments, administer mortgage escrow accounts, submit and pursue
insurance claims and initiate and supervise foreclosure proceedings on the loans
it services. The Bank may, with the approval of a majority of the Company's
Board of Directors, as well as a majority of the Company's Independent
Directors, subcontract all or a portion of its obligations under the Servicing
Agreement to unrelated third parties. An "Independent Director" is a director
who is not a current officer or employee of the Company or a current director,
officer or employee of the Bank or of its affiliates. The Bank will not, in
connection with the subcontracting of any of its obligations under the Servicing
Agreement, be discharged or relieved in any respect from its obligations under
the Servicing Agreement. The Company may terminate the Servicing Agreement upon
the occurrence of such events as they relate to the Bank's proper and timely
performance of its duties and obligations under the Servicing Agreement. As long
as any Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company may not terminate, or
elect to renew, the Servicing Agreement without the approval of a majority of
the Company's Independent Directors.

The Company entered into an advisory agreement with the Bank (the "Advisory
Agreement") pursuant to which the Bank administers the day-to-day operations of
the Company. The Bank is responsible for (i) monitoring the credit quality of
Mortgage Assets held by the Company, (ii) advising the Company with respect to
the reinvestment of income from and payments on, and with respect to the
acquisition, management, financing and disposition of the Mortgage Assets held
by the Company, and (iii) monitoring the Company's compliance with the
requirements necessary to qualify as a REIT, and other financial and tax-
related matters. The Bank may from time to time subcontract all or a portion of
its obligations under the Advisory Agreement to one or more of its affiliates.
The Bank may, with the approval of a majority of the Company's Board of
Directors, as well as a majority of the Company's Independent Directors,
subcontract all or a portion of its obligations under the Advisory Agreement to
unrelated third parties. The Bank will not, in connection with the
subcontracting of any of its obligations under the Advisory Agreement, be
discharged or relieved in any respect from its obligations under the Advisory
Agreement. The Advisory Agreement is renewed annually. The Company may terminate
the Advisory Agreement at any time upon 60 days' prior written notice. As long
as any Preferred Shares remain outstanding, any decision by the Company either
to renew the Advisory Agreement or to terminate the Advisory Agreement must be
approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, as well as by a majority of
the Company's Independent Directors.

The Advisory Agreements in effect in 2002, 2001 and 2000 entitled the Bank
to receive advisory fees of $43,000, $35,000, and $57,000 respectively. In 2003,
advisory fees are estimated to be $45,000.

5


The Company may from time to time purchase additional Mortgage Assets out
of proceeds received in connection with the repayment or disposition of Mortgage
Assets, the issuance of additional shares of Preferred Stock or additional
capital contributions with respect to the Common Stock. The Company may also
issue additional series of Preferred Stock. However, the Company may not issue
additional shares of Preferred Stock senior to the Series A Preferred Shares
either in the payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets on
liquidation without the consent of holders of at least 67% of the outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock at that time or without approval of a majority of the
Company's Independent Directors. The Company does not currently intend to issue
any additional shares of Preferred Stock unless it simultaneously receives
additional capital contributions from HCH or other affiliates sufficient to
support the issuance of such additional shares of Preferred Stock.

Although the Company does not currently intend to incur any indebtedness in
connection with the acquisition and holding of Mortgage Assets, the Company may
do so at any time (although indebtedness in excess of 25% of the Company's total
stockholders' equity may not be incurred without the approval of a majority of
the Company's Independent Directors). To the extent the Company were to change
its policy with respect to the incurrence of indebtedness, the Company would be
subject to risks associated with leverage, including, without limitation,
changes in interest rates and prepayment risk.

Employees

As of December 31, 2002, the Company had no employees paid directly by the
Company. All officers of the Company were employed by the Bank.

Environmental Matters

In the event that the Company is forced to foreclose on a defaulted
Securing Mortgage Loan to recover its investment in such loan, the Company may
be subject to environmental liabilities in connection with the underlying real
property, which could exceed the value of the real property. Although the
Company intends to exercise due diligence to discover potential environmental
liabilities prior to the acquisition of any property through foreclosure,
hazardous substances or wastes, contaminants, pollutants or sources thereof (as
defined by state and federal laws and regulations) may be discovered on
properties during the Company's ownership or after a sale thereof to a third
party. If such hazardous substances are discovered on a property which the
Company has acquired through foreclosure or otherwise, the Company may be
required to remove those substances and clean up the property. There can be no
assurance that in such a case the Company would not incur full recourse
liability for the entire costs of any removal and clean-up, that the cost of
such removal and clean-up would not exceed the value of the property or that the
Company could recoup any of such costs from any third party. The Company may
also be liable to tenants and other users of neighboring properties. In
addition, the Company may find it difficult or impossible to sell the property
prior to or following any such clean-up. The Company has not foreclosed on any
Securing Mortgage Loans.

Qualification as a REIT

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with its taxable year
ended December 31, 1998 and intends to comply with the provisions of the Code
with respect thereto. The Company will not be subject to Federal income tax to
the extent it distributes 90% (95% for years prior to January 1, 2001) of its
adjusted REIT ordinary taxable income to stockholders and as long as certain
assets, income and stock ownership tests are met. For 2002 as well as 2001 the
Company met all Code requirements for a REIT, including the asset, income, stock
ownership and distribution tests. Cash distributions in the amount of $1.8438
cents per Preferred Share were paid in 2002 and 2001. A cash dividend on common
stock of $3.1 million was declared on December 4, 2002 to the stockholder of
record on December 15, 2002 and paid on December 27, 2002. A cash dividend on
common stock of $14.3 million was declared on December 4, 2001 to the
stockholder of record on December 15, 2001 and paid on December 31, 2001. In
addition, on September 12, 2002 and 2001 the Company paid a cash dividend of
$130 thousand and $346 thousand, respectively, on the outstanding common shares
to the stockholder of record on September 4, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These
dividends were paid on the Company's 2001 and 2000 earnings.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

None as of December 31, 2002.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is not currently involved in any material litigation nor, to
the Company's knowledge is any material litigation currently threatened against
the Company, the Bank or any affiliate of the Bank other than routine litigation
arising in the ordinary course of business. See Note 8 to Financial Statements
on page 31.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of 2002.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER
MATTERS

HCH presently owns all 1,000 shares of the common stock of the Company,
which are not listed or traded on any securities exchange. On December 4, 2002,
the Company declared $3.1 million in cash dividends on common stock, which were
paid in December 2002. On December 4, 2001, the Company declared $14.3 million
in cash dividends on common stock, which were paid in December 2001. In
addition, on September 12, 2002 and 2001, the Company paid a cash dividend of
$130 thousand and $346 thousand, respectively, on the outstanding common shares
to the stockholder of record on September 4, 2002, and September 4, 2001,
respectively. These dividends were paid on the Company's 2001 and 2000 earnings.

The Preferred Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol "HBC Pr A". During 2002 and 2001, the Company declared and paid cash
dividends to preferred stockholders of approximately $18.4 million in each year.
Although the Company declared cash dividends on the Preferred Shares for 2002
and 2001, no assurances can be made as to the declaration of, or if declared,
the amount of, future distributions since such distributions are subject to the
Company's financial condition and capital needs; the impact of legislation and
regulations as then in effect or as may be proposed; economic conditions; and
such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to remain qualified as a REIT, the Company must distribute
annually at least 90% (95% for years prior to January 1, 2001) of its ordinary
taxable income to preferred and /or common stockholders.

Statements and notes thereto appearing later in this Report.

SUMMARY

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001

The Company's net income for 2002 was $22.1 million. This represented a
$10.8 million or 33% decrease from 2001 net income of $32.9 million. Earnings
decreased primarily because of reduced interest income on earning assets. In
addition, gains on securities sales declined from $4.8 million in 2001 to $2.7
million in 2002.

8


Interest income on the Notes for 2002 totaled $2.8 million and yielded 6.4%
on $43 million of average principal outstanding compared to $5.2 million and a
6.4% yield on $81 million average principal outstanding for 2001. The decrease
in income was attributable to a reduction in the Note balance because of
principal paydowns by customers in the Securing Mortgage Loans. The average
outstanding balance of the Securing Mortgage Loans was $53 million for 2002 and
$99 million for 2001. Interest income on securities available-for-sale for 2002
was $15.1 million, resulting in a yield of 4.9% on an average balance of $309
million compared to $21.9 million with a yield of 6.1% on an average balance of
$363 million for 2001. The decrease in interest income on securities
available-for-sale was primarily attributable to a reduction in yield. As
securities matured or were sold, proceeds have been invested in lower yielding
securities as a result of declining interest rates. Gains from investment
securities sales were $2.7 million in 2002 and $4.8 million in 2001.

There were no Company borrowings during either year.

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002 totaled $488
thousand; a decrease of $90 thousand from the year ended December 31, 2001. Loan
servicing expenses for 2002 totaled $131 thousand, a decrease of $112 thousand
or 46% from 2001. This decrease was attributed to the reduction in the principal
balance of the Notes because servicing costs vary directly with their balances.
Advisory fees for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $43 thousand compared to
$35 thousand for the same period a year ago. General and administrative expenses
for the same period totaled $314 thousand, an increase of $14 thousand or 5 %
from 2001, as a result of additional reporting and compliance costs.

On December 30, 2002, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.46094 cents
per share on the outstanding Preferred Shares to the stockholders of record on
December 15, 2002 as declared on December 4, 2002. On December 30, 2001, the
Company paid a cash dividend of $0.46094 cents per share on the outstanding
Preferred Shares to the stockholders of record on December 15, 2001 as declared
on December 4, 2001. Annually the Company declared and paid $18.4 million of
dividends to holders of Preferred Shares for both 2002 and 2001. A cash dividend
on common stock of $3.1 million was declared on December 4, 2002 to the
stockholder of record on December 15, 2002 and paid on December 27, 2002. A cash
dividend on common stock of $14.3 million was declared on December 4, 2001 to
the stockholder of record on December 15, 2001 and paid on December 31, 2001. In
addition, on September 12, 2002 and September 12, 2001 the Company paid a cash
dividend of $130 thousand and $346 thousand, respectively, on the outstanding
common shares to the stockholder of record on September 4, 2002 and December 30,
2000, respectively. These dividends completed the Company's 2001 and 2000 REIT
tax compliance requirements.

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, there were no Securing Mortgage Loans on
nonaccrual status and there was no allowance for loan losses.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000

The Company's net income for 2001 was $32.9 million. This represented a
$1.1 million or 3% increase from 2000 net income of $31.8 million.

Interest income on the Notes for 2001 totaled $5.2 million and yielded 6.4%
on $81 million of average principal outstanding compared to $7.8 million and a
6.4% yield on $122 million average principal outstanding for 2000. The decrease
in income was attributable to a reduction in the Note balance because of
customer payoffs in the Securing Mortgage Loans. The average outstanding balance
of the Securing Mortgage Loans was $99 million for 2001 and $151 million for
2000. Interest income on securities available-for-sale for 2001 was $21.9
million, resulting in a yield of 6.1% on an average balance of $363 million
compared to $22.6 million with a yield of 6.9% on an average balance of $328
million for 2000. The decrease in interest income on securities
available-for-sale was primarily attributable to a reduction in yield, partially
offset by growth in the investment portfolio. As securities matured or were
sold, proceeds were invested in lower yielding securities as market interest
rates declined. Gains from investment securities sales were $4.8 million in 2001
and $257 thousand in 2000.

There were no Company borrowings during either year.

9


Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 totaled $578
thousand; a decrease of $142 thousand from the year ended December 31, 2000.
Loan servicing expenses for 2001 totaled $243 thousand, a decrease of $130
thousand or 35% from 2000. This decrease was attributed to the reduction in the
principal balance of the Notes. Advisory fees for the year ended December 31,
2001 were $35 thousand compared to $57 thousand in 2000. General and
administrative expenses for the same period totaled $300 thousand, an increase
of $10 thousand or 3% from 2000.

QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001

The Company's net income for the fourth quarter of 2002 was $4.7 million
compared to $5.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2001. Earnings decreased
primarily because of reduced interest income on earning assets.

Fourth quarter 2002 interest income on the Notes totaled $550 thousand and
yielded 6.4% on $34 million of average principal outstanding compared to
interest income of $1.0 million and a 6.4% yield on $65 million average
principal outstanding for the fourth quarter of 2001. The decrease in income was
attributable to a reduction in the Note balance because of principal paydowns by
customers in the Securing Mortgage Loans. The average outstanding balance of the
Securing Mortgage Loans for the fourth quarter of 2002 and 2001 was $42 million
and $79 million, respectively. Interest income on securities available-for-sale
for the current quarter was $3.9 million resulting in a yield of 4.1% on an
average balance of $379 million, compared to interest income of $4.3 million
with a yield of 4.8% on an average balance of $363 million for the same period a
year ago. The decrease in interest income is primarily attributable to the
reduction in yield. As securities mature or are sold, proceeds have been
invested in lower yielding securities because market interest rates have been
declining.

There were no Company borrowings during the fourth quarter of 2002 or 2001.

Fourth quarter 2002 operating expenses totaled $175 thousand, a decrease of
$23 thousand from the fourth quarter of 2001. Loan servicing expenses totaled
$26 thousand, a decrease of $22 thousand or 46% from the prior year's fourth
quarter, attributed to the reduction in the principal balance of the Notes,
thereby reducing servicing fees payable to the Bank. Advisory fees for both 2002
and 2001 were $8 thousand. General and administrative expenses totaled $141
thousand in the current quarter, a decrease of $1 thousand from fourth quarter
2001.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company does not currently maintain an allowance for loan losses due to
the over-collateralization of the Securing Mortgage Loans and the prior and
expected credit performance of the collateral pool.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

A majority of the collateral underlying the Securing Mortgage Loans is
located in Illinois and Arizona. The financial viability of customers in these
states is, in part, dependent on the states' economies. The collateral may be
subject to a greater risk of default than other comparable loans in the event of
adverse economic, political or business developments or natural hazards that may
affect such region and the ability of property owners in such region to make
payments of principal and interest on the underlying mortgages. The Company's
maximum risk of accounting loss, should all customers in Illinois and Arizona
fail to perform according to contract terms and all collateral prove to be
worthless, was approximately $26 million and $7 million, respectively at
December 31, 2002 and $46 million and $12 million, respectively, at December 31,
2001.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Company's income consists primarily of interest payments on the
Mortgage Assets it holds. If there is a decline in interest rates during a
period of time when the Company must reinvest receipts of interest and principal
with respect to its Mortgage Assets, the Company may find it difficult to
purchase additional Mortgage Assets that generate sufficient income to support
payment of dividends on the Preferred Shares.

10


Because the rate at which dividends, if, when and as authorized and declared,
are payable on the Preferred Shares is fixed, there can be no assurance that an
interest rate environment in which there is a decline in interest rates would
not adversely affect the Company's ability to pay dividends on the Preferred
Shares.

COMPETITION

The Company does not engage in the business of originating mortgage loans.
While the Company will acquire additional Mortgage Assets, it anticipates that
such Mortgage Assets will be acquired from the Bank and affiliates of the Bank.
Accordingly, the Company does not expect to compete with mortgage conduit
programs, investment banking firms, savings and loan associations, banks, thrift
and loan associations, finance companies, mortgage bankers or insurance
companies in acquiring its Mortgage Assets.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of
sufficient cash flows to meet all of the Company's financial commitments. In
managing liquidity, the Company takes into account various legal limitations
placed on a REIT.

The Company's principal liquidity needs are to maintain the current
portfolio size through the acquisition of additional Notes or other qualifying
assets and to pay dividends to its stockholders after satisfying obligations to
creditors. The acquisition of additional Notes or other qualifying assets is
funded with the proceeds obtained from repayment of principal balances by
individual mortgages or maturities of securities held for sale on a reinvested
basis. The payment of dividends on the Preferred Shares will be made from
legally available funds, principally arising from operating activities of the
Company. The Company's cash flows from operating activities principally consist
of the collection of interest on the Notes and mortgage-backed securities. The
Company does not have and does not anticipate having any material capital
expenditures.

In order to remain qualified as a REIT, the Company must distribute
annually at least 90% (95% for years prior to January 1, 2001) of its adjusted
REIT ordinary taxable income through 2002, as provided for under the Code, to
its common and preferred stockholders. The Company currently expects to
distribute dividends annually equal to 90% or more of its adjusted REIT ordinary
taxable income.

The Company anticipates that cash and cash equivalents on hand and the cash
flow from the Notes and mortgage-backed securities will provide adequate
liquidity for its operating, investing and financing needs including the
capacity to continue preferred dividend payments on an uninterrupted basis.

As presented in the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows, the primary
sources of funds in addition to $19.4 million provided from operations during
2002 were $24.9 million provided by principal payments on the Notes and $822.3
million from the maturities and sales of securities available-for-sale. In 2001,
the primary sources of funds other than from operations of $28.7 million were
$47.0 million provided by principal payments on the Notes and $874.9 million
from the maturities of securities available-for-sale. The primary uses of funds
for 2002 were $848.2 million in purchases of securities available-for-sale and
$18.4 and $3.2 million in preferred stock dividends and common stock dividends
paid, respectively. In 2001 the primary uses of funds were $897.2 million in
purchases of securities available-for-sale and $18.4 and $14.6 million in
preferred stock dividends and common stock dividends paid, respectively.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"
on January 1, 2002. Under this standard, goodwill and other intangible assets
that have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization while
intangible assets with finite lives are amortized. Goodwill is periodically
assessed for impairment, at least annually. The Company does not expect the
implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on its financial
position or results of operations.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial
Institutions -- an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB
Interpretation No. 9," on October 1, 2002. Under this
11


standard, most acquisitions of financial institutions are removed from the scope
of SFAS No. 72 and Interpretation 9 and are accounted for in accordance with
SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142. As such, unidentifiable
intangible assets recognized and amortized in accordance with SFAS No. 72,
"Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions,"
represent goodwill that is accounted for under SFAS No. 142. The Company does
not expect the implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on its
financial position or results of operations.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." The Statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities
and requires that liabilities for those costs be recognized when the liability
is incurred, as defined in Concepts Statement 6. It nullifies Emerging Issues
Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The Statement is effective for exit or
disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not
expect the implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on its
financial position or results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure -- an amendment of FASB Statement No.
123." The Statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary
change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation
and requires additional disclosures in annual and interim financial statements.
The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2002. During the first quarter of 1996, the
Company adopted SFAS No. 123 and elected the fair value based method of
accounting for stock-based compensation plans. The Company does not expect the
implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on its financial
position or results of operations.

OTHER MATTERS

As of December 31, 2002, the Company believes that it is in full compliance
with the REIT tax rules, and expects to qualify as a REIT under the provisions
of the Code. The Company expects to meet all REIT requirements regarding the
ownership of its stock and anticipates meeting the annual distribution
requirements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of December 31, 2002, the Company had $31 million invested in Notes, a
decrease of $25 million from December 31, 2001, attributable to principal
paydowns by customers in the Securing Mortgage Loans. At December 31, 2002, the
Company holds $365 million in mortgage-backed securities compared to $320
million at December 31, 2001. At December 31, 2002 the Company holds $80 million
in U.S. Treasuries compared to $85 million at December 31, 2001. At December 31,
2002, the Company holds an investment of $20 million in securities purchased
from the Bank under agreement to resell compared to $21 million at December 31,
2001. The Company is subject to exposure for fluctuations in interest rates.
Adverse changes in interest rates could impact negatively the value of
mortgage-backed securities, as well as the levels of interest income to be
derived from these assets.

The Company's investments held in mortgage-backed securities are secured by
adjustable and fixed interest rate residential mortgage loans. The yield to
maturity on each security depends on, among other things, the price at which
each such security is purchased, the rate and timing of principal payments
(including prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations), the
pass-through rate and interest rate fluctuations. Changes in interest rates
could impact prepayment rates as well as default rates, which in turn would
impact the value and yield to maturity of the Company's mortgage-backed
securities.

The Company currently has no outstanding borrowings.

any Mortgage Asset to be acquired or disposed of by the Company or in any
transaction in which the Company has an interest or will engage in acquiring,
holding and managing Mortgage Assets.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

(A) TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS

The Bank, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, HCH, indirectly owns
100% of the common stock of the Company.

As described on page 3 of this Report, a substantial portion of the
assets of the Company initially consisted of Notes issued by the Bank. The
Notes mature on October 1, 2027 and pay interest at 6.4% per annum. During
2002, the Company received repayments on the Notes of $25 million compared
to 2001 repayments of $47 million. In years ended December 31, 2002, 2001
and 2000, the Bank paid interest on the Notes in the amount of $2.8
million, $5.2 million and $7.8 million, respectively, to the Company.

The Company purchases U.S. Treasury and Federal agency securities from
the Bank under agreements to resell identical securities. At December 31,
2002, the Company held $20 million of such assets and had earned $2.1
million of interest from the Bank during 2002. At December 31, 2001, the
Company held $21 million of such assets and earned $1.6 million of interest
for 2001. At December 31, 2002, the Company held $3 thousand of such assets
and earned $1.9 million of interest for 2000. The Company receives rates on
these assets comparable to the rates that the Bank offers to unrelated
counterparties under similar circumstances.

During 2002 and 2001, the Company acquired $253 million and $273
million, respectively, of GNMA securities at fair value from the Bank.
During 2002 and 2001, the Company acquired $595 million and $624 million of
U.S. Treasury securities at fair value from the Bank.

The Bank and the Company have entered into a Servicing Agreement and
an Advisory Agreement, the terms of which are described in further detail
on page 5 of this Report. In 2002, the Bank received payments of $131
thousand and $43 thousand, respectively, compared to $243 thousand and $35
thousand for 2001, in 2000 the Bank received payments of $373 thousand and
$57 thousand, under the terms of these agreements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
of Harris Preferred Capital Corporation

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of
operations and comprehensive income, of changes in stockholders' equity and of
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Harris Preferred Capital Corporation (the "Company") at December 31, 2002 and
2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

HARRIS PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Harris Preferred Capital Corporation (the "Company") is a Maryland
corporation whose principal business objective is to acquire, hold, finance and
manage qualifying real estate investment trust ("REIT") assets (the "Mortgage
Assets"), consisting of a limited recourse note or notes (the "Notes") issued by
Harris Trust and Savings Bank (the "Bank") secured by real estate mortgage
assets (the "Securing Mortgage Loans") and other obligations secured by real
property, as well as certain other qualifying REIT assets. The Company holds its
assets through a Maryland real estate investment trust subsidiary, Harris
Preferred Capital Trust. The Company has elected to be a REIT under sections 856
through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and
will generally not be subject to Federal income tax to the extent that it meets
all of the REIT requirements in the Internal Revenue Code Sections 856-860. All
of the 1,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $1.00 per share
(the "Common Stock"), are owned by Harris Capital Holdings, Inc. ("HCH"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. On December 30, 1998, the Bank transferred
its ownership of the common stock of the Company to HCH. The Bank is required to
maintain direct or indirect ownership of at least 80% of the outstanding Common
Stock of the Company for as long as any 7 3/8% Noncumulative Exchangeable
Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Preferred Shares"), $1.00 par value, is
outstanding. The Company was formed by the Bank to provide investors with the
opportunity to invest in residential mortgages and other real estate assets and
to provide the Bank with a cost-effective means of raising capital for federal
regulatory purposes.

On February 11, 1998, the Company completed an initial public offering (the
"Offering") of 10,000,000 shares of the Company's Preferred Shares, receiving
proceeds of $242,125,000, net of underwriting fees. The Preferred Shares are
traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Concurrent with the issuance of the
Preferred Shares, the Bank contributed additional capital of $250 million to the
Company.

The Company used the proceeds raised from the initial public offering of
the Preferred Shares and the additional capital contributed by the Bank to
purchase $356 million of Notes from the Bank and $135 million of mortgage-backed
securities at their estimated fair value.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit with the Bank.

ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level considered
adequate to provide for potential loan losses. The allowance is increased by
provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by net charge-offs. Known
losses of principal on impaired loans are charged off. The provision for loan
losses is based on past loss experience, management's evaluation of the loan
portfolio securing the Mortgage Assets under current economic conditions and
management's estimate of anticipated, but as yet not specifically identified,
loan losses. Such estimates are reviewed periodically and adjustments, if
necessary, are recorded during the periods in which they become known. At
December 31, 2002 and 2001, no allowance for possible loan losses was recorded
under this policy.

INCOME TAXES

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with its taxable
year ended December 31, 1998 and intends to comply with the provisions of the
Code with respect thereto. The Company does not expect to be subject to Federal
income tax because assets, income distribution and stock ownership tests in
Internal Revenue Code Sections 856-860 are met. Accordingly, no provision for
income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements.

27


The REIT Modernization Act, which took effect on January 1, 2001, modified
certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with
respect to the taxation of REITs. A key provision of this tax law change reduced
the required level of distributions by a REIT from 95% to 90% of ordinary
taxable income starting in calendar year 2001.

SECURITIES

The Company classifies all securities as available-for-sale, even if the
Company has no current plans to divest. Available-for-sale securities are
reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate
component of stockholders' equity.

Interest income on securities, including amortization of discount or
premium, is included in earnings. Realized gains and losses, as a result of
securities sales, are included in securities gains, with the cost of securities
sold determined on the specific identification basis.

The Company purchases U.S. Treasury and Federal agency securities from the
Bank under agreements to resell identical securities. The amounts advanced under
these agreements represent short-term loans and are reflected as receivables in
the balance sheets. Securities purchased under agreement to resell totaled $20
million at December 31, 2002 compared to $21 million at December 31, 2001. The
securities underlying the agreements are book-entry securities. Securities are
transferred by appropriate entry into the Company's account with the Bank under
a written custodial agreement with the Bank that explicitly recognizes the
Company's interest in these securities.

The Company's investment securities are exposed to various risks such as
interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with
certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in
the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that
changes in risks in the near term would materially affect the carrying value of
investments in securities available-for-sale currently reported in the balance
sheets.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"
on January 1, 2002. Under this standard, goodwill and other intangible assets
that have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization while
intangible assets with finite lives are amortized. Goodwill is periodically
assessed for impairment, at least annually. The Company does not expect the
implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on its financial
position or results of operations.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial
Institutions -- an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB
Interpretation No. 9," on October 1, 2002. Under this standard, most
acquisitions of financial institutions are removed from the scope of SFAS No. 72
and Interpretation 9 and are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142. As such, unidentifiable intangible
assets recognized and amortized in accordance with SFAS No. 72, "Accounting for
Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions," represent goodwill that
is accounted for under SFAS No. 142. The Company does not expect the
implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on its financial
position or results of operations.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." The Statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities
and requires that liabilities for those costs be recognized when the liability
is incurred, as defined in Concepts Statement 6. It nullifies Emerging Issues
Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The Statement is effective for exit or
disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not
expect the implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on its
financial position or results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure -- an amendment of FASB Statement No.
123." The Statement provides
28


alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based compensation and requires additional
disclosures in annual and interim financial statements. The disclosure
requirements are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending
after December 15, 2002. The Company does not expect the implementation of this
Statement to have a material effect on its financial position or results of
operations.

MANAGEMENT'S ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

3. NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM THE BANK

On February 11, 1998, proceeds received from the Offering were used in part
to purchase $356 million of Notes at a rate of 6.4%. The Notes are secured by
mortgage loans originated by the Bank. The principal amount of the Notes equals
approximately 80% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage
Loans. During 2002, the Company received repayments on the Notes of $25 million
compared to 2001 repayments of $47 million. For years ended December 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000, the Bank paid interest on the Notes in the amount of $2.8
million, $5.2 million and $7.8 million, respectively, to the Company.

The Notes are recourse only to the Securing Mortgage Loans that are secured
by real property. The Notes mature on October 1, 2027. Payments of principal and
interest on the Notes are recorded monthly from payments received on the
Securing Mortgage Loans. The Company has a security interest in the real
property securing the underlying mortgage loans and is entitled to enforce
payment on the Securing Mortgage Loans in its own name if a mortgagor should
default. In the event of default, the Company has the same rights as the
original mortgagee to foreclose the mortgaged property and satisfy the
obligations of the Bank out of the proceeds. The Securing Mortgage Loans are
serviced by the Bank, as agent of the Company.

The Company intends that each mortgage loan securing the Notes will
represent a first lien position and will be originated in the ordinary course of
the Bank's real estate lending activities based on the underwriting standards
generally applied (at the time of origination) for the Bank's own account. The
Company also intends that all Mortgage Assets held by the Company will meet
market standards, and servicing guidelines promulgated by the Company, and
Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") guidelines and procedures.

The balance of Securing Mortgage Loans at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was
$39 million and $70 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on
those loans at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was 6.930% and 7.611%, respectively.

None of the Securing Mortgage Loans collateralizing the Notes were on
nonaccrual status at December 31, 2002 or 2001.

A majority of the collateral securing the underlying mortgage loans is
located in Illinois and Arizona. The financial viability of customers in these
states is, in part, dependent on those states' economies. The Company's maximum
risk of accounting loss, should all customers in Illinois and Arizona fail to
perform according to contract terms and all collateral prove to be worthless,
was approximately $26 million and $7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2002
and $46 million and $12 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2001.

Mortgage-backed securities include ("GNMA") Government National Mortgage
Association Platinum Certificates and Federal National Mortgage Association
("Fannie Mae"). The contractual maturities of the mortgage-backed securities
exceed ten years. Expected maturities can differ from contractual maturities
since borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without
call or prepayment penalties. The U.S. Treasury Bills held at December 31, 2002
mature within the next twelve months.

5. COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK

On February 11, 1998, the Company issued 10,000,000 Preferred Shares,
Series A, at a price of $25 per share pursuant to its Registration Statement on
Form S-11. Proceeds from this issuance, net of underwriting fees, totaled
$242,125,000. The liquidation value of each Preferred Share is $25 plus any
authorized, declared and unpaid dividends. Except upon the occurrence of certain
events, the Preferred Shares are not redeemable by the Company prior to March
30, 2003. On or after such date, the Preferred Shares will be redeemable at the
option of the Company, in whole or in part, at the liquidation preference
thereof, plus the quarterly accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to the date of
redemption. The Company may not redeem the Preferred Shares without prior
approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the
appropriate successor federal regulatory agency. Except under certain limited
circumstances, as defined, the holders of the Preferred Shares have no voting
rights. The Preferred Shares are automatically exchangeable for a new series of
preferred stock of the Bank upon the occurrence of certain events.

Holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, if declared by the
Board of Directors of the Company, noncumulative dividends at a rate of 7 3/8%
per annum of the $25 per share liquidation preference (an amount equivalent to
$1.84375 per share per annum). Dividends on the Preferred Shares, if authorized
and declared, are payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September
30, and December 30 each year. Dividends paid to the holders of the Preferred
Shares for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $18,438,000 in both

purposes for December 31, 2002 and 2001 were 90% of ordinary income and 10% of
long-term capital gain and 88% of ordinary income and 12% of long term capital
gain, respectively.

On December 30, 1998, the Bank contributed the Common Stock of the Company
to HCH. The Bank is required to maintain direct or indirect ownership of at
least 80% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company for as long as any
Preferred Shares are outstanding. Dividends on Common Stock are paid if and when
authorized and declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available
after all preferred dividends have been paid. A Common Stock dividend of $3,090
per common share was declared on December 4, 2002, to the stockholder of record
on December 15, 2002 and paid on December 27, 2002. The allocations of the
distribution declared and paid for income tax purposes were 90% of ordinary

thousand, respectively, on the outstanding common shares to the stockholder of
record on September 4, 2002 and September 4, 2001, respectively. These dividends
were paid on the Company's 2001 and 2000 REIT ordinary taxable income.

6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Company entered into an advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement")
with the Bank pursuant to which the Bank administers the day-to-day operations
of the Company. The Bank is responsible for (i) monitoring the credit quality of
Mortgage Assets held by the Company; (ii) advising the Company with respect to
the reinvestment of income from and payments on, and with respect to the
acquisition, management, financing, and disposition of the Mortgage Assets held
by the Company; and (iii) monitoring the Company's compliance with the
requirements necessary to qualify as a REIT.

The Advisory Agreement in effect during 2002, 2001 and 2000 entitled the
Bank to receive advisory fees of $43,000, $35,000 and $57,000, respectively. For
2003, advisory fees are estimated to be $45,000.

The Securing Mortgage Loans are serviced by the Bank pursuant to the terms
of a servicing agreement (the "Servicing Agreement"). The Bank receives a fee
equal to 0.25% per annum on the principal balances of the loans serviced. The
Servicing Agreement requires the Bank to service the mortgage loans in a manner
generally consistent with accepted secondary market practices, and servicing
guidelines promulgated by the Company and with Fannie Mae and FHLMC guidelines
and procedures. In 2002, 2001 and 2000 the Bank received payments of $131
thousand, $243 thousand and $373 thousand, respectively.

The Company purchases U.S. Treasury and Federal agency securities from the
Bank under agreements to resell identical securities. At December 31, 2002, the
Company held $20 million of such assets and had earned $2.1 million of interest
from the Bank during 2002. At December 31, 2001 the Company held $21 million of
such assets and earned $1.6 million of interest for 2001. At December 31, 2000,
the Company held $3 thousand of such assets and earned $1.9 million of interest
from the Bank. The Company receives rates on these assets comparable to the
rates that the Bank offers to unrelated counterparties under similar
circumstances.

During 2002 and 2001, the Company acquired $253 million and $273 million,
respectively, of GNMA and Fannie Mae securities at fair value from the Bank.
During 2002 and 2001, the Company acquired $595 million and $624 million of U.S.
Treasury securities at fair value from the Bank.

7. OPERATING SEGMENT

The Company's operations consist of monitoring and evaluating the
investments in Mortgage Assets. Accordingly, the Company operates in only one
segment. The Company has no external customers and transacts most of its
business with the Bank.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal proceedings in which the Company is a defendant may arise in the
normal course of business. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, there was no pending
litigation against the Company.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF HARRIS TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK

The following unaudited financial information and audited financial
statements for Harris Trust and Savings Bank are included because the Preferred
Shares are automatically exchangeable for a new series of preferred stock of the
Bank upon the occurrence of certain events.

32


HARRIS TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK

CERTAIN INFORMATION REGARDING HARRIS TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK

Harris Trust and Savings Bank ("the Bank") is an Illinois banking operation
located at 111 West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603. The Bank is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris Bankcorp, Inc., a multibank holding company
incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and headquartered in
Chicago and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.
Harris Bankcorp, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankmont Financial Corp.
("Bankmont"). Harris Bankcorp, Inc. also owns 27 other banks, 26 in the counties
surrounding Chicago and one in Arizona. On July 1, 2000, Bankmont contributed
100 percent of the common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Harris Bankmont,
Inc., a Chicago metropolitan area multibank holding company, to Harris Bankcorp,
Inc. Immediately thereafter, Harris Bankmont, Inc. was liquidated and dissolved
into Harris Bankcorp, Inc. under the corporation law of Delaware. Harris
Bankcorp, Inc. was the surviving corporation. The assets of Harris Bankmont,
Inc. consisted primarily of the stock of its thirteen community banks. This
combination was accounted for at historical cost, similar to a pooling of
interests. Bankmont is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of Montreal. At
December 31, 2002, Harris Bankcorp's assets amounted to $29.01 billion, with the
Bank representing approximately 66 percent of that total.

The Bank, an Illinois state-chartered bank has its principal office, 50
domestic branch offices and 101 automated teller machines located in the Chicago
area. The Bank also has offices in Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles and San
Francisco; a foreign branch office in Nassau; and an Edge Act subsidiary, Harris
Bank International Corporation ("HBIC"), engaged in international banking and
finance in New York. At December 31, 2002, the Bank had total assets of $19.03
billion, total deposits of $11.04 billion, total loans of $9.61 billion and
equity capital of $1.58 billion.

The Bank provides a broad range of banking and financial services to
individuals and corporations domestically and abroad, including corporate
banking, personal financial services, personal trust services and investment
services. The Bank also offers (i) demand and time deposit accounts; (ii)
various types of loans (including term, real estate, revolving credit facilities
and lines of credit); (iii) sales and purchases of foreign currencies; (iv)
interest rate management products (including swaps, forward rate agreements and
interest rate guarantees); (v) cash management services; (vi) underwriting of
municipal bonds; (vii) financial consulting; and (viii) a wide variety of
personal trust and trust-related services.

Competitors of the Bank include commercial banks, savings and loan
associations, consumer and commercial finance companies, credit unions and other
financial services companies. Based on legislation passed in 1986 that allows
Illinois banks to be acquired by banks or holding companies in states with a
reciprocal law in effect together with the Federal Interstate Banking Efficiency
Act of 1994, that allows for both interstate banking and interstate branching in
certain circumstances, the Bank believes that the level of competition will
increase in the future.

The Bank is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. As a
state-chartered bank, it is also regulated by the Illinois Office of Banks and
Real Estate. These regulatory bodies examine the Bank and supervise numerous
aspects of its business. The Federal Reserve System regulates money and credit
conditions and interest rates in order to influence general economic conditions,
primarily through open market operations in U.S. Government securities, varying
the discount rate on bank borrowings, setting reserve requirements against
financial institution deposits and prescribing minimum capital requirements for
member banks. These policies have a significant influence on overall growth and
distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and affect interest rates
charged on loans and earned on investments or paid for time, savings and other
deposits. Board of Governors monetary policies have had a significant effect on
the operating results of commercial banks in the past and this is expected to
continue.

Although primarily focusing on U.S. domestic customers, identifiable
foreign assets accounted for 2.94 percent of the Bank's total consolidated
assets at December 31, 2002 and foreign net income was approximately 5.37
percent of the Bank's consolidated net income for the year then ended. Foreign
net income
33


is generated from three primary sources: (i) lending to foreign banks and other
financial institutions; (ii) time deposits held in foreign banks; and (iii)
foreign exchange trading profits of approximately $7.2 million.

Corporate Trust Sale

In March 2000, Bankcorp sold its corporate trust business. In separate and
unrelated transactions, the indenture trust business was sold to a subsidiary of
The Bank of New York Company, Inc., and the shareholder services business to
Computershare Limited. The combined sales resulted in a pre-tax gain to Bankcorp
of $47.0 million. The Bank recognized $45.6 million of that gain. The Bank does
not believe that the sale of the corporate trust business will have a material
impact on the results of operations for future periods.

Merchant Card Sale

In December 2000, the Bank sold its merchant card business to a credit card
processing joint venture (Moneris) formed between Bank of Montreal and Royal
Bank of Canada. The sale resulted in a pretax gain to the Bank of $60.2 million,
which was eliminated in the consolidation of the Bank's results with Bank of
Montreal. The Bank does not believe that the sale of the merchant card business
will have a material impact on the results of operations for future periods.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2002 COMPARED TO 2001

Summary

The Bank's 2002 net income was $171.8 million, up $89.6 million from 2001.
Earnings comparability for 2002 and 2001 was affected by a third quarter 2001
special provision for loan losses of $121 million and a special pretax charge of
$3.2 million in the fourth quarter 2001 relating to impairments in the value of
certain equity investments. Excluding the effect of these special charges,
earnings grew 6 percent over last year. This increase was attributable to
continued strong business growth in consumer, mortgage and small business loans
and retail deposits, and a reduction in the provision for loan losses and
increased earnings from treasury activities. Return on average common equity
("ROE") for 2002 was 11.02 percent and 10.41 percent in 2001 excluding the
special charges described above. Return on average assets ("ROA") was 0.95
percent in 2002 and 0.80 percent in 2001 excluding the special charges described
above.

Earnings before amortization of goodwill and other valuation intangibles
("cash earnings") were $181.4 million in 2002, a 3 percent increase compared to
2001, excluding the special charges described above. Cash return on average
common stockholder's equity ("cash ROE") represents net income applicable to
common stock plus after-tax amortization expense of goodwill and other valuation
intangibles, divided by average common stockholder's equity less average
intangible assets. Cash ROE was 13.32 percent in 2002 compared to 13.13 percent
in 2001, excluding the special charges.

For 2002, net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis of $465.2
million was down 5 percent from 2001. Net interest margin rose from 2.80 percent
to 2.99 percent in 2002, reflecting the impact of a declining rate environment
during the past year. Average earning assets declined $1.85 billion million or
11 percent to $15.58 billion in the current year, attributable to a decrease of
$1.17 billion in investment securities and $799 million in average loans.

Noninterest income increased $55.3 million to $512.5 million for 2002.
Excluding the special $3.2 million writedown of equity securities in 2001,
noninterest income increased 11 percent from 2001. Net gains from portfolio
securities increased $25.9 million, service charge fees increased $19.8 million
and trading profits decreased $9.3 million. Inter-corporate service charges
increased $13.2 million. Trust and investment management fees decreased $6.0
million.

Total noninterest expenses were $656.4 million, up $24.1 million or 4
percent from 2001. Income taxes were $67.3 million, up $57.1 million from 2001,
reflecting substantially higher pretax income in 2002.

The provision for loan losses was $71.2 million in 2002 compared to $203.5
million in 2001. Third quarter 2001 results included a $121 million special
provision for loan losses. Net loan charge-offs during the current year were
$91.6 million compared to $95.1 million in 2001 reflecting higher recoveries in
the commercial loan portfolio.

Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2002 totaled $172 million, or 1.79
percent of total loans compared to $205 million or 2.05 percent a year earlier.
At December 31, 2002, the allowance for possible loan losses was $207 million or
2.15 percent of total loans outstanding compared to $227 million or 2.28 percent
of loans at the end of 2000. As a result, the ratio of the allowance for
possible loan losses to nonperforming assets increased slightly from a multiple
of 1.1 at December 31, 2001 to 1.2 at December 31, 2002.

At December 31, 2002, the Bank's equity capital amounted to $1.58 billion,
up slightly from $1.56 billion at December 31, 2001. Unrealized securities
gains, net of tax, were $73.0 million at December 31, 2002 compared to $20.1
million at December 31, 2001. In February 1998, Harris Preferred Capital
Corporation, a subsidiary of the Bank, issued $250 million of noncumulative
preferred stock in a public offering (see Note 16 to Financial Statements). The
preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital for U.S. banking regulatory
purposes.

The Bank's regulatory capital leverage ratio was 8.64 percent compared to
8.23 percent one year earlier. Regulators require most banking institutions to
maintain capital leverage ratios of not less than 4.0 percent. At
35


December 31, 2002, the Bank's Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were
10.19 percent and 12.50 percent, respectively, compared to respective ratios of
9.80 percent and 12.26 percent at December 31, 2001. The 2002 year-end
risk-based capital ratios substantially exceeded minimum required regulatory
ratios of 4.0 percent and 8.0 percent, respectively.

2001 COMPARED TO 2000

Summary

The Bank's 2001 net income was $82.3 million, down $144.2 million, or 64
percent from 2000. Earnings comparability for 2001 and 2000 was affected by both
the sale of the Bank's corporate trust business in first quarter 2000 and the
sale of its merchant card business in December 2000. Excluding the effect of the
$45.6 million pretax gain on sale of the corporate trust business and related
charges, and the $60.2 million pretax gain from the sale of the merchant card
business and related operating results, year 2000 earnings were $159.2 million.
In addition, the Bank had special charges for 2001, a third quarter special
provision for loan losses of $121 million and a special pretax charge of $3.2
million in the fourth quarter relating to impairments in the value of certain
equity investments. Excluding the effect of these special charges and the impact
of divested businesses, earnings were $167.1 million, representing an increase
of 5 percent over 2000. This increase was attributable to continued strong
business growth in consumer, mortgage and small business loans and retail
deposits, and a more favorable interest rate environment that contributed to
greater earnings from treasury and trading activities. These were largely offset
by an increased loan loss provision associated with the impact of a weakened
economy primarily on the Bank's corporate loan portfolio, and by expenses
related to business growth and expansion. Excluding the special charges, gains
and related operating results for businesses sold in 2000, return on average
common equity ("ROE") for 2001 and 2000 was 10.72 percent and 12.04 percent,
respectively. Excluding the special charges described above and gains and
related operating results for businesses sold in 2000, return on average assets
("ROA") was 0.82 percent and 0.76 percent, respectively.

Excluding the special charges described above and gains and related
operating results for businesses sold in 2000, earnings before amortization of
goodwill and other valuation intangibles ("cash earnings") were $181.3 million
in 2001, a 5 percent increase compared to 2000. Cash return on average common
stockholder's equity ("cash ROE") represents net income applicable to common
stock plus after-tax amortization expense of goodwill and other valuation
intangibles, divided by average common stockholder's equity less average
intangible assets. Excluding the special charges described above and gains and
related operating results for businesses sold in 2000, cash ROE was 13.49
percent in 2001 compared to 15.78 percent in 2000.

For 2001, net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis of $487.5
million was up 10 percent from 2000. Net interest margin rose from 2.47 percent
to 2.80 percent in 2001, reflecting the impact of a declining rate environment
during 2001. Average earning assets declined $580 million or 3 percent to $17.43
billion in 2001, attributable to a decrease of 2 percent or $186 million in
average loans and $532 million in investment securities.

Noninterest income decreased $60.9 million to $457.2 million for 2001.
Excluding the effect of the special items, gains and operating results from the
corporate trust and merchant card businesses sold in 2000, noninterest income
increased 20 percent from 2000. Net gains from sales of investment securities
increased $20.6 million, trading profits increased $8.0 million and service
charges on deposits increased $2.4 million. Inter-corporate service charges
increased $32.4 million. Trust and investment management fees decreased $9.4
million and merchant and charge card fees declined $21.0 million, both declines
resulting from divested businesses in 2000.

Total noninterest expenses were $632.2 million, up $44.4 million or 8
percent from 2000. Excluding the expenses associated with businesses sold in
2000, noninterest expenses increased 13 percent, reflecting expansion
initiatives in our retail, private client and corporate and investment banking
businesses. Income taxes were $10.2 million, down $87.1 million from 2000,
reflecting substantially lower pretax income in 2001.

36


The provision for loan losses was $203.5 million in 2001, including the
$121 million special provision for loan losses in the third quarter 2001,
compared to $29.7 million in 2000. Net loan charge-offs during 2001 were $95.1
million compared to $24.4 million in 2000 reflecting higher write-offs in the
commercial loan portfolio.

Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2001 totaled $205 million, or 2.05
percent of total loans compared to $101 million or 0.94 percent at December 31,
2000. Most of the increase from December 31, 2000 is comprised of loans to
corporate borrowers in different industry sectors experiencing the effects of a
weakened economy. At December 31, 2001, the allowance for possible loan losses
was $227 million or 2.28 percent of total loans outstanding compared to $119
million or 1.10 percent of loans at the end of 2000. As a result, the ratio of
the allowance for possible loan losses to nonperforming assets declined slightly
from a multiple of 1.2 at December 31, 2000 to 1.1 at December 31, 2001.

At December 31, 2001, the Bank's equity capital amounted to $1.57 billion,
up from $1.52 billion at December 31, 2000. Unrealized securities
gains/(losses), net of tax, were $20.1 million at December 31, 2001 compared to
($11) million at December 31, 2000. In February 1998, Harris Preferred Capital
Corporation, a subsidiary of the Bank, issued $250 million of noncumulative
preferred stock in a public offering (see Note 16 to Financial Statements). The
preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital for U.S. banking regulatory
purposes.

The Bank's regulatory capital leverage ratio was 8.23 percent compared to
7.40 percent one year earlier. Regulators require most banking institutions to
maintain capital leverage ratios of not less than 4.0 percent. At December 31,
2001, the Bank's Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 9.80 percent
and 12.26 percent, respectively, compared to respective ratios of 9.06 percent
and 10.98 percent at December 31, 2000. The 2001 year-end risk-based capital
ratios substantially exceeded minimum required regulatory ratios of 4.0 percent
and 8.0 percent, respectively.

JOINT INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors of Harris Trust and Savings Bank engaged the firms
of KPMG LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as joint auditors for each

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Stockholder and Board
of Directors of Harris Trust and Savings Bank:

period ended December 31, 2002. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of Harris Trust and Savings Bank's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan

test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Harris Trust
and Savings Bank and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the

HARRIS PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Harris Trust and Savings Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris
Bankcorp, Inc. ("Bankcorp"), a Delaware corporation which is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Bankmont Financial Corp. ("Bankmont"), a Delaware corporation
which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of Montreal ("BMO"). Throughout these
Notes to Financial Statements, the term "Bank" refers to Harris Trust and
Savings Bank and subsidiaries.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications were made to
conform prior years' financial statements to the current year's presentation.
See Note 22 to the Financial Statements for additional information on business
combinations and Note 23 for additional information on related party
transactions.

The Bank provides banking, trust and other services domestically and
internationally through the main banking facility, 6 active nonbank subsidiaries
and an Edge Act subsidiary, Harris Bank International Corporation ("HBIC"), in
New York. The Bank provides a variety of financial services to commercial and
industrial companies, financial institutions, governmental units, not-for-profit
organizations and individuals throughout the U.S., primarily the Midwest, and
abroad. Services rendered and products sold to customers include demand and time
deposit accounts and certificates; various types of loans; sales and purchases
of foreign currencies; interest rate management products; cash management
services; underwriting of municipal bonds; and financial consulting.

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
conform to practices within the banking industry.

FOREIGN CURRENCY AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies have been
translated into United States dollars at respective year-end rates of exchange.
Monthly translation gains or losses are computed at rates prevailing at
month-end. There were no material translation gains or losses during any of the
years presented. Foreign exchange trading positions including spot, forward,
futures, option contracts and swaps are revalued monthly using prevailing market
rates. Exchange adjustments are included with foreign exchange income in the
Consolidated Statements of Income.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Bank uses various interest rate, foreign exchange, equity and commodity
derivative contracts in the management of its risk strategy or as part of its
dealer and trading activities. Interest rate contracts include futures,
forwards, forward rate agreements, option contracts, caps, floors, collars and
swaps. Foreign exchange contracts include spot, futures, forwards, option
contracts and swaps. Equity contracts include option contracts and swaps.
Commodity contracts include swaps.

All derivative instruments are recognized at fair value in the Consolidated
Statements of Condition. All derivative instruments are designated either as
hedges or as held for trading or non-hedging purposes.

Derivative instruments that are used in the management of the Bank's risk
strategy may qualify for hedge accounting if the derivatives are designated as
hedges and applicable hedge criteria are met. On the date that the Bank enters
into a derivative contract, it designates the derivative as a hedge of the fair
value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, a
hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows that are to
be received or paid in connection with a recognized asset or liability, a
44


foreign currency fair value or cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of a
derivative that is highly effective (as defined) and qualifies as a fair value
hedge, along with changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item, are
recorded in current period earnings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative
that is highly effective (as defined) and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, to the
extent that the hedge is effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income
only until earnings are recognized from the underlying hedged item. Net gains or
losses resulting from hedge ineffectiveness are recorded in current period
earnings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective (as
defined) and qualifies as a foreign currency hedge are recorded in either
current period earnings or other comprehensive income depending on whether the
hedging relationship meets the criteria for a fair value or cash flow hedge.

The Bank formally documents all hedging relationships at inception of hedge
transactions. The process includes documenting the risk management objective and
strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction and identifying the specific
derivative instrument and the specific underlying asset, liability, firm
commitment or forecasted transaction. The Bank formally assesses, both at
inception and on an ongoing quarterly basis, whether the derivative hedging
instruments have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value
or cash flows of the hedged items and whether the derivatives are expected to
remain highly effective in future periods.

Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the Bank determines
that the hedge is no longer highly effective, the derivative instrument expires
or is sold, terminated or exercised, it is no longer probable that the
forecasted transaction will occur, the hedged firm commitment no longer meets
the definition of a firm commitment, or the designation of the derivative as a
hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.

When hedge accounting is discontinued because a fair value hedge is no
longer highly effective, the derivative instrument will continue to be recorded
on the balance sheet at fair value but the underlying hedged item will no longer
be adjusted for changes in fair value. When hedge accounting is discontinued
because the hedged item in a fair value hedge no longer meets the definition of
a firm commitment, the derivative instrument will continue to be recorded on the
balance sheet at fair value and any asset or liability that was recorded to
recognize the firm commitment will be removed from the balance sheet and
recognized as a gain or loss in current period earnings. When hedge accounting
is discontinued because it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction
in a cash flow hedge will occur, the gain or loss on the derivative that was in
accumulated other comprehensive income will be recognized immediately in
earnings and the derivative instrument will be marked to market through
earnings. When hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains
outstanding, the derivative may be redesignated as a hedging instrument as long
as the applicable hedge criteria are met under the terms of the new contract.

Derivative instruments that are entered into for risk management purposes
and do not otherwise qualify for hedge accounting are marked to market and the
resulting unrealized gains and losses are recognized in noninterest income in
the period of change.

Derivative instruments that are used as part of the Bank's dealer and
trading activities are marked to market and the resulting unrealized gains and
losses are recognized in noninterest income in the period of change.

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on January 1, 2002. Under this
standard, goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives
are not subject to amortization while intangible assets with finite lives are
amortized. Goodwill is periodically assessed for impairment, at least annually.

The Bank adopted SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial
Institutions -- an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB
Interpretation No. 9," on October 1, 2002. Under this standard,

45


most acquisitions of financial institutions are removed from the scope of SFAS
No. 72 and Interpretation 9 and are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No.
141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142. As such, unidentifiable
intangible assets recognized and amortized in accordance with SFAS No. 72,
"Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions,"
represent goodwill that will be accounted for under SFAS No. 142. At adoption
date, the Bank had an unidentifiable intangible asset that, in accordance with
SFAS No. 72, was excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 142 and continued to be
amortized through third quarter 2002. Upon adoption of the Statement, the
unidentifiable intangible asset was reclassified to goodwill and no longer
amortized starting in fourth quarter 2002. Under the transitional requirements
of the Statement, the first three quarters of 2002 were restated to reflect the
reversal of previously amortized goodwill in those quarters. The earnings impact
for each of these three quarters was $2.35 million pretax ($1.4 million after
tax).

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." The
Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with
exit or disposal activities and requires that liabilities for those costs be
recognized when the liability is incurred, as defined in Concepts Statement 6.
It nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, "Liability
Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The Statement
is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.
The Bank does not expect the implementation of this Statement to have a material
effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure -- an amendment of FASB Statement No.
123." The Statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary
change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation
and requires additional disclosures in annual and interim financial statements.
The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2002. During the first quarter of 1996, the Bank
adopted SFAS No. 123 and elected the fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based compensation plans. The Bank does not expect the implementation of
this Statement to have a material effect on its financial position or results of
operations.

The Bank adopted FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107
and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34" ("FIN 45") issued on November 25,
2002. FIN 45 expands existing disclosure requirements at December 31, 2002 for
guarantees and provides initial recognition and measurement provisions to be
applied on a prospective basis for guarantees issued or modified after December
31, 2002. Management has evaluated the effect of adopting FIN 45 and has
determined that the effect on the financial position and results of operations
of the Bank is not material.

In January 2003, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 46,
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"). This Interpretation
changes the method of determining whether certain entities, including
securitization entities, should be consolidated in the Corporation's financial
statements. An entity is subject to FIN 46 and is called a variable interest
entity ("VIE") if it has (1) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to
finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from
other parties, or (2) equity investors that cannot make decisions about the
entity's operations, or that do not absorb the expected losses or receive the
expected returns of the entity. A VIE is consolidated by its primary
beneficiary, which is the party involved with the VIE that has a majority
interest in the expected losses or the expected residual returns or both. The
Bank does not have an interest in a VIE and is not subject to the provisions of
FIN 46.

SECURITIES

The Bank classifies securities as either trading account assets or
available-for-sale. Trading account assets include securities acquired as part
of trading activities and are typically purchased with the expectation of

46


near-term profit. These assets consist primarily of municipal bonds and U.S.
government securities. All other securities are classified as
available-for-sale, even if the Bank has no current plans to divest.

Trading account assets are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and
losses included in trading account income, which also includes realized gains
and losses from closing such positions. Available-for-sale securities are
reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included, on an
after-tax basis, in a separate component of stockholder's equity. Purchase
premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest
method over the terms of the securities. Realized gains and losses, as a result
of securities sales, are included in securities gains, with the cost of
securities sold determined on the specific identification basis.

LOANS, LOAN FEES AND COMMITMENT FEES

Loans not held for sale are recorded at the principal amount outstanding,
net of unearned income, deferred fees and origination costs. For fair value
hedges that are highly effective, loans designated as the underlying hedged
items are recorded net of changes in fair value attributable to the hedged
risks. Origination fees collected on commercial loans, loan commitments,
mortgage loans and standby letters of credit, that are not held for sale, are
generally deferred and amortized over the life of the related facility. Other
loan-related fees that are not the equivalent of yield adjustments are
recognized as income when received or earned. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the
Bank's Consolidated Statements of Condition included approximately $15 million
and $18 million, respectively, of deferred loan-related fees net of deferred
origination costs.

In conjunction with its mortgage and commercial banking activities, the
Bank will originate loans with the intention of selling them in the secondary
market. These loans are classified as available-for-sale and are included in
"Other Assets" on the Bank's Consolidated Statements of Condition. The loans are
carried at the lower of allocated cost or current market value, on a portfolio
basis. Deferred origination fees and costs associated with these loans are not
amortized and are included as part of the basis of the loan at time of sale.
Realized gains and unrealized losses are included with other noninterest income.

The Bank engages in the servicing of mortgage loans and acquires mortgage
servicing rights by purchasing or originating mortgage loans and then selling
those loans with servicing rights retained. The rights to service mortgage loans
for others are recognized as separate assets by allocating the total cost of the
mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights and the loans (without the
mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative fair values. The capitalized
mortgage servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of
estimated net servicing income. The capitalized mortgage servicing rights are
periodically evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of those rights.
Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The risk
characteristics of the underlying loans used to stratify capitalized mortgage
servicing rights for purposes of measuring impairment are interest rates, loan
type and repricing interval.

Commercial and real estate loans are placed on nonaccrual status when the
collection of interest is doubtful or when principal or interest is 90 days past
due, unless the credit is adequately collateralized and the loan is in process
of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest accrued
but not yet collected which is deemed uncollectible is charged against interest
income in the current year. Interest on nonaccrual loans is recognized as income
only when cash is received and the Bank expects to collect the entire principal
balance of the loan. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal
and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments
are reasonably assured. Interest income on restructured loans is accrued
according to the most recently agreed upon contractual terms.

Commercial and real estate loans are charged off when, in management's
opinion, the loan is deemed uncollectible. Consumer installment loans are
charged off when 120 days past due. Consumer revolving loans are charged off
when 180 days past due. Accrued interest on these loans is charged to interest
income. Such loans are not normally placed on nonaccrual status.

Commercial loan commitments and letters of credit are executory contracts
and are not reflected on the Bank's Consolidated Statements of Condition. Fees
collected are generally deferred and recognized over the life of the facility.

47


Impaired loans (primarily commercial credits) are measured based on the
present value of expected future cash flows (discounted at the loan's effective
interest rate) or, alternatively, at the loan's observable market price or the
fair value of supporting collateral. Impaired loans are defined as those where
it is probable that amounts due for principal or interest according to
contractual terms, will not be collected. Both nonaccrual and certain
restructured loans meet this definition. Large groups of smaller-balance,
homogeneous loans, primarily residential real estate and consumer installment
loans, are excluded from this definition of impairment. The Bank determines loan
impairment when assessing the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan
losses.

ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level considered
adequate to provide for estimated loan losses. The allowance is increased by
provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by net charge-offs. Known
losses of principal on impaired loans are charged off. The provision for loan
losses is based on past loss experience, management's evaluation of the loan
portfolio under current economic conditions and management's estimate of losses
inherent in the portfolio. Such estimates are reviewed periodically and
adjustments, if necessary, are recorded during the periods in which they become
known.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Interest costs associated with long-term construction projects are
capitalized and then amortized over the life of the related asset after the
project is completed. For financial reporting purposes, the provision for
depreciation and amortization is computed on the straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.

BANK-OWNED INSURANCE

The Bank has purchased life insurance coverage for certain officers. The
one-time premiums paid for the policies, which coincide with the initial cash
surrender value, are recorded as assets on the Consolidated Statements of
Condition. Increases or decreases in cash surrender value (other than proceeds
from death benefits) are recorded as other income or other expense. Proceeds
from death benefits first reduce the cash surrender value attributable to the
individual policy and any additional proceeds are recorded as other income.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Bank records goodwill and other intangible assets in connection with
the acquisition of assets from unrelated parties or the acquisition of new
subsidiaries. Goodwill that originated prior to July 1, 2001 was amortized on a
straight-line basis through 2001 year-end but discontinued effective January 1,
2002 in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142. Goodwill arising
subsequent to July 1, 2001 is not amortized. Goodwill is periodically assessed
for impairment, at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives are
amortized on either an accelerated or straight-line basis depending on the
character of the acquired asset. Original lives range from 3 to 15 years.
Intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment when
events or future assessments of profitability indicate that the carrying value
may not be recoverable. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not
amortized and are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events
indicate impairment.

OTHER ASSETS

Property or other assets received in satisfaction of debt are included in
"Other Assets" on the Bank's Consolidated Statements of Condition and are
recorded at the lower of remaining cost or fair value. Fair values for other
real estate owned generally are reduced by estimated costs to sell. Losses
arising from subsequent write-downs to fair value are charged directly to
expense.

Loans intended to be sold in the secondary market are classified as
available-for-sale and are included in "Loans held for sale" on the Consolidated
Statements of Condition. The loans are carried at lower of allocated cost or
current market value, on a portfolio basis. The Bank has qualifying mortgage
loan commitments that
48


are intended to be sold in the secondary market. These loan commitments are
derivatives and are accounted for at fair value.

RETIREMENT AND OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

The Bank has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering
virtually all its employees. For its primary plan, the policy of the Bank is to,
at a minimum, fund annually an amount necessary to satisfy the requirements
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"), without regard to
prior years' contributions in excess of the minimum.

Postemployment benefits provided to former or inactive employees after
employment but before retirement are accrued if they meet the conditions for
accrual of compensated absences. Otherwise, postemployment benefits are recorded
when expenses are incurred.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities, as determined by the temporary
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities,
are computed using enacted tax rates and laws. The effect on deferred tax assets
and liabilities of a change in tax rates or law is recognized as income or
expense in the period including the enactment date.

The Bank is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of
Bankmont. Income tax return liabilities or benefits for all the consolidated
entities are not materially different than they would have been if computed on a
separate return basis.

MANAGEMENT'S ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. The areas requiring significant management judgment include provision
and allowance for possible loan losses, income taxes, pension cost,
postemployment benefits, valuation of intangible assets, fair values and
temporary vs. other-than-temporary impairment.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications were made to conform prior years' financial
statements to the current year's presentation.

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, available-for-sale and trading account
securities having a carrying amount of $4.39 billion and $3.75 billion,
respectively, were pledged as collateral for certain liabilities, securities
sold under agreement to repurchase, public and trust deposits, trading account
activities and for other purposes where permitted or required by law. The Bank
maintains effective control over the securities sold under agreement to
repurchase and accounts for the transactions as secured borrowings.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of available-for-sale
securities at December 31, 2002, by contractual maturity, are shown below.

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Bank had no aggregate public and private
sector outstandings to any single country experiencing a liquidity problem which
exceeded one percent of the Corporation's consolidated assets. At December 31,
2002 and 2001 commercial loans with a carrying value of $3.74 billion and $4.16
billion, respectively, were pledged to secure potential borrowings with the
Federal Reserve.

MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

The carrying amount of mortgage servicing rights was $12.9 million and
$21.6 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The fair value of
those rights equaled or exceeded the carrying amount at both December 31, 2002
and December 31, 2001. Mortgage servicing rights, included in other assets, of
$4.5 million and $8.5 million were capitalized during 2002 and 2001,
respectively. Amortization expense associated with the mortgage servicing rights
was $5.9 million and $4.2 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively. There were no
direct write-downs in 2002 or 2001. During 2002, impairment expense for mortgage
servicing rights totaling $7.3 million was recorded in a valuation allowance to
reflect the excess of carrying value over estimated fair value.

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. A summary of these accounts is set forth below:

======== ========


Depreciation and amortization expense was $46.3 million in 2002, $48.3
million in 2001 and $46.7 million in 2000.

On December 17, 2001 the Bank closed on the sale of its fifteen story
operations center containing approximately 415,000 gross square feet located at
311 West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois, and leased back approximately 259,000
rentable square feet. The lease ends on December 31, 2011. The Bank has rights
of first offering to lease additional space and options to extend to December
31, 2026. The remainder of the building was occupied by third-party tenants. The
sale resulted in a realized gain of $1 million and a deferred gain of $15.7
million and $17 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2002 and 2001.

In addition, the Bank owns or leases premises at other locations to conduct
branch banking activities.

6. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Bank adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on
January 1, 2002. Under this standard, goodwill and other intangible assets that
have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization while intangible
assets with finite lives are amortized. Goodwill is periodically assessed for
impairment, at least annually. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Bank had no
goodwill.

52


The Bank adopted SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial
Institutions -- an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB
Interpretation No. 9," on October 1, 2002. Under this standard, most
acquisitions of financial institutions are removed from the scope of SFAS No. 72
and Interpretation 9 and are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142. As such, unidentifiable intangible
assets recognized and amortized in accordance with SFAS No. 72, "Accounting for
Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions," represent goodwill that
will be accounted for under SFAS No. 142. At adoption date, the Bank had an
unidentifiable intangible asset that, in accordance with SFAS No. 72, was
excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 142 and continued to be amortized through
third quarter 2002. Upon adoption of the Statement, the unidentifiable
intangible asset was reclassified to goodwill and no longer amortized starting
in fourth quarter 2002. Under the transitional requirements of the Statement,
the first three quarters of 2002 were restated to reflect the reversal of
previously amortized goodwill in those quarters. The earnings impact for each of
these three quarters was $2.35 million pretax ($1.4 million after tax).

The Bank's goodwill was subject to the annual impairment test in the fourth
quarter of 2002. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using a
valuation technique based on multiples of book value. The test did not identify
potential impairment and no impairment loss was recognized in 2002.

For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Bank's net income
and earnings per share on a proforma basis adjusted to exclude the amortization
of goodwill are included in the following table:



YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31

The carrying value of the Bank's goodwill as of December 31, 2002 was $89.3
million.

As of December 31, 2002, the gross carrying amount and accumulated
amortization of the Bank's amortizable intangible assets were $202.1 million and
$104.1 million, respectively.

Total amortization expense for the Bank's intangible assets was $16.0
million for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Estimated intangible asset amortization expense for the years ending
December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 is $16.2 million, $16.4 million,
$16.5 million, $16.7 million and $16.9 million, respectively.

8. SECURITIES PURCHASED UNDER AGREEMENT TO RESELL AND SECURITIES SOLD UNDER
AGREEMENT TO REPURCHASE

The Bank enters into purchases of U.S. Treasury and Federal agency
securities under agreements to resell identical securities. The amounts advanced
under these agreements represent short-term loans and are reflected as
receivables in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. There were no
securities purchased under agreement to resell outstanding at December 31, 2002
and December 31, 2001. The securities underlying the agreements are book-entry
securities. Securities are transferred by appropriate entry into the Bank's
account with Bank of New York through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York under
a written custodial agreement with Bank of New York that explicitly recognizes
the Bank's interest in these securities.

The Bank also enters into sales of U.S. Treasury and Federal agency
securities under agreements to repurchase identical securities. The amounts
received under these agreements represent short-term borrowings and are
reflected as liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. Securities
sold under agreement to repurchase totaled $4.19 billion and $3.57 billion at
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Securities sold under agreement to
repurchase are transferred via book-entry to the counterparty, if transacted
with a financial institution or a broker-dealer, or are delivered to customer
safekeeping accounts. The Bank monitors the market value of these securities and
adjusts the level of collateral for repurchase agreements, as appropriate. The
Bank maintains effective control over the securities sold under agreement to
repurchase and accounts for the transactions as secured borrowings.

All of the Bank notes are unsecured obligations, ranking on a parity with
all unsecured and subordinated indebtedness of the Bank and are not subject to
redemption prior to maturity at the election of the debtholders. The interest
rate on the floating rate notes reprices semiannually and floats at 50 basis
points above 180 day London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR"). At year-end 2002,
180 day LIBOR was 1.38 percent.

The Bank offers to institutional investors from time to time, unsecured
short-term and medium-term bank notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to
$1.5 billion outstanding at any time. The term of each note could range from 14
days to 15 years. These senior notes are subordinated to deposits and rank pari
passu with all other unsecured senior indebtedness of the Bank. As of December
31, 2002, $200 million of senior short-term notes were outstanding with original
maturities of 64 days (remaining maturities of 22 days) and stated interest
rates of 1.33 percent. As of December 31, 2001, $860 million of senior
short-term notes were outstanding with original maturities ranging from 365 to
392 days (remaining maturities ranging from 99 to 207 days) and stated interest
rates ranging from 1.78 percent to 4.41 percent.

10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Generally accepted accounting principles require the disclosure of
estimated fair values for both on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments.
The Bank's fair values are based on quoted market prices when available. For
financial instruments not actively traded, such as certain loans, deposits,
off-balance-sheet transactions and long term borrowings, fair values have been
estimated using various valuation methods and assumptions. Although management
used its best judgment in estimating these values, there are inherent
limitations in any estimation methodology. In addition, accounting
pronouncements require that fair values be estimated on an item-by-item basis,
thereby ignoring the impact a large sale would have on a thin market and
intangible values imbedded in established lines of business. Therefore, the fair
value estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts
the Bank could realize in an actual transaction. The fair value estimation
methodologies employed by the Bank were as follows:

The carrying amounts for cash and demand balances due from banks along with
short-term money market assets and liabilities reported on the Bank's
Consolidated Statements of Condition were considered to be the best estimates of
fair value for these financial instruments. Fair values of trading account
assets and available-for-sale securities were based on quoted market prices.

55


A variety of methods were used to estimate the fair value of loans. Changes
in estimated fair value of loans reflect changes in credit risk and general
interest rates which have occurred since the loans were originated. Fair values
of floating rate loans, including commercial, broker dealer, financial
institution, construction, charge card, consumer and home equity, were assumed
to be the same as carrying value since the loans' interest rates automatically
reprice to market. Fair values of residential mortgages were based on current
prices for securities backed by similar loans. For long-term fixed rate loans,
including consumer installment and commercial mortgage loans, fair values were
estimated based on the present value of future cash flows with current market
rates as discount rates. Additionally, management considered appraisal values of
collateral when nonperforming loans were secured by real estate.

The fair values of customers' liability on acceptances and acceptances
outstanding approximate carrying value due to the short-term nature of these
assets and liabilities and the generally negligible credit losses associated
with them.

The fair values of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate
carrying values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

The fair values of bank-owned insurance investments approximate carrying
value, because upon liquidation of these investments the Bank would receive the
cash surrender value which equals carrying value.

The fair values of demand deposits, savings accounts, interest-bearing
checking deposits, and money market accounts were the amounts payable on demand
at the reporting date, or the carrying amounts. The fair value of time deposits
was estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation with current market rates
offered by the Bank as discount rates.

The fair value of senior notes approximates carrying value because the
average maturity on these notes is less than one year.

The fair value of minority interest -- preferred stock of subsidiary
(Harris Preferred Capital Corporation) approximates carrying value as the
preferred stock has a liquidation preference that equals book value.

The fair value of long-term notes was determined using a discounted cash
flow calculation with current rates available to the Bank for similar debt as
discount rates.

The fair value of credit facilities are presented as an obligation in order
to represent the approximate cost the Bank would incur to induce third parties
to assume these commitments.

56


The estimated fair values of the Bank's financial instruments at December
31, 2002 and 2001 are presented in the following table. See Note 11 to Financial
Statements for additional information regarding fair values of off-balance-sheet
financial instruments.

11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

The Bank utilizes various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk
in the normal course of business to a) meet its customers' financing and risk
management needs, b) reduce its own risk exposure, and c) produce fee income and
trading profits. The Bank's major categories of financial instruments with off-
balance-sheet risk include credit facilities and various securities-related
activities. Fair values of off-balance-sheet instruments are based on fees
currently charged to enter into similar agreements, market prices of comparable
instruments, pricing models using year-end rates and counterparty credit
ratings.

Credit Facilities

Credit facilities with off-balance-sheet risk include commitments to extend
credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit.

Commitments to extend credit are contractual agreements to lend to a
customer as long as contract terms have been met. They generally require payment
of a fee and have fixed expiration dates. The Bank's commitments serve both
business and individual customer needs, and include commercial loan commitments,
home equity lines, commercial real estate loan commitments and mortgage loan
commitments. The Bank's maximum risk of accounting loss is represented by the
total contractual amount of commitments, which was $8.0 billion and $7.6 billion
at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Since only a portion of commitments
will ultimately be drawn down, the Bank does not expect to provide funds for the
total contractual amount. Risks associated with certain commitments are reduced
by participations to third parties, which at December 31, 2002, totaled $667
million and at December 31, 2001, totaled $632 million.

Standby letters of credit are unconditional commitments which guarantee the
obligation of a customer to a third party should that customer default. They are
issued to support financial and performance-related obligations including
brokers' margin maintenance, industrial revenue bond repayment, debt repayment,
construction contract performance and trade agreement performance. The Bank's
maximum risk of accounting loss for these items is represented by the total
commitments outstanding of $2.66 billion at December 31, 2002 and $2.30 billion
at December 31, 2001. Risks associated with standby letters of credit are
reduced by participations to third parties which totaled $881 million at
December 31, 2002 and $664 million at December 31, 2001.

Commercial letters of credit are commitments to make payments on behalf of
customers when letter of credit terms have been met. Maximum risk of accounting
loss is represented by total commercial letters of credit outstanding of $41
million at December 31, 2002 and $36 million at December 31, 2001.

Credit risks associated with all of these facilities are mitigated by
reviewing customers' creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis, obtaining
collateral, limiting loans to individual borrowers, setting restrictions on
long-duration maturities and establishing stringent covenant terms outlining
performance expectations which, if not met, may cause the Bank to terminate the
contract. Credit risks are further mitigated by monitoring and maintaining
portfolios that are well-diversified.

Collateral is required to support certain of these credit facilities when
they are drawn down and may include equity and debt securities, commodities,
inventories, receivables, certificates of deposit, savings instruments, fixed
assets, real estate, life insurance policies and memberships on national or
regional stock and commodity exchanges. Requirements are based upon the risk
inherent in the credit and are more stringent for firms and individuals with
greater default risks. The Bank monitors collateral values and appropriately
perfects its security interest. Periodic evaluations of collateral adequacy are
performed by Bank personnel.

The fair value of credit facilities (i.e. deferred income) is approximately
equal to their carrying value of $14.9 million at December 31, 2002 and $18.4
million at December 31, 2001.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Bank adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities," on January 1, 2001. Under this standard, all derivative
instruments are recognized at fair value in the

58


Consolidated Statements of Condition. All derivative instruments are designated
either as hedges or held for trading or non-hedging purposes.

The Bank uses various interest rate, foreign exchange, equity, and
commodity derivative contracts as part of its dealer and trading activities or
in the management of its risk strategy. Interest rate contracts include futures,
forwards, forward rate agreements, option contracts, caps, floors, collars and
swaps. Foreign exchange contracts include spot, futures, forwards, option
contracts and swaps. Equity contracts include options and swaps. Commodity
contracts include swaps.

At December 31, 2002 the Bank recorded, for dealer and trading activities
and for risk management activities that do not otherwise qualify for hedge
accounting, the fair value of derivative instrument assets of $147.2 million in
other assets and derivative instrument liabilities of $151.9 million in other
liabilities. At December 31, 2001 the Bank recorded the fair value of derivative
instrument assets of $117.3 million in other assets and derivative instrument
liabilities of $121.5 million in other liabilities. These amounts reflect the
netting of certain derivative instrument assets and liabilities when the
conditions in FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 39, "Offsetting of Amounts Related
to Certain Contracts," have been met. At December 31, 2002, derivative contracts
with BMO represent $20.3 million and $136.7 million of unrealized gains and
unrealized losses, respectively. At December 31, 2001, derivative contracts with
BMO represent $14.8 million and $95.3 million of unrealized gains and unrealized
losses, respectively.

Dealer and Trading Activity

Interest Rate Contracts

As dealer, the Bank serves customers seeking to manage interest rate risk
by entering into contracts as counterparty to their (customer) transactions. In
its trading activities, the Bank uses interest rate contracts to profit from
expected future market movements.

These contracts may create exposure to both credit and market risk.
Replacement risk, the primary component of credit risk, is the risk of loss
should a counterparty default following unfavorable market movements and is
measured as the Bank's cost of replacing contracts at current market rates. The
Bank manages credit risk by establishing credit limits for customers and
products through an independent corporate-wide credit review process and by
continually monitoring exposure against those limits to ensure they are not
exceeded. Credit risk is, in many cases, further mitigated by the existence of
netting agreements that provide for netting of contractual receivables and
payables in the event of default or bankruptcy. Netting agreements apply to
situations where the Bank is engaged in more than one outstanding derivative
transaction with the same counterparty and also has a legally enforceable master
netting agreement with that counterparty.

Market risk is the potential for loss arising from potential adverse
changes in underlying market factors, including interest and foreign exchange
rates. The Bank manages market risk through the imposition of integrated
value-at-risk limits and an active, independent monitoring process.

Value-at-risk methodology is used for measuring the market risk of the
Bank's trading positions. This statistical methodology uses recent market
volatility to estimate the maximum daily trading loss that the Bank would expect
to incur, on average, 99 percent of the time. The model also measures the effect
of correlation among the various trading instruments to determine how much risk
is eliminated by offsetting positions.

Futures and forward contracts are agreements in which the Bank is obligated
to make or take delivery, at a specified future date, of a specified instrument,
at a specified price or yield. Futures contracts are exchange traded and,
because of exchange requirements that gains and losses be settled daily, create
negligible exposure to credit risk.

Forward rate agreements are arrangements between two parties to exchange
amounts, at a specified future date, based on the difference between an agreed
upon interest rate and reference rate applied to a notional principal amount.
These agreements enable purchasers and sellers to fix interest costs and
returns.

59


Options are contracts that provide the buyer the right (but not the
obligation) to purchase or sell a financial instrument, at a specified price,
either within a specified period of time or on a certain date. Interest rate
guarantees (caps, floors and collars) are agreements between two parties that,
in general, establish for the purchaser a maximum level of interest expense or a
minimum level of interest revenue based on a notional principal amount for a
specified term. Options and interest rate guarantees written create exposure to
market risk. As a writer of interest rate options and guarantees, the Bank
receives a premium at the outset of the agreement and bears the risk of an
unfavorable change in the price of the financial instrument underlying the
option or interest rate guarantee. Options and interest rate guarantees
purchased create exposure to credit risk and, to the extent of the premium paid
or unrealized gain recognized, market risk.

Interest rate swaps are contracts involving the exchange of interest
payments based on a notional amount for a specified period. Most of the Bank's
activity in swaps is as intermediary in the exchange of interest payments
between customers, although the Bank also uses swaps to manage its own interest
rate exposure (see discussion of risk management activity).

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The Bank is a dealer in foreign exchange ("FX") contracts. FX contracts may
create exposure to market and credit risk, including replacement risk and
settlement risk. Credit risk is managed by establishing limits for customers
through an independent corporate-wide credit approval process and continually
monitoring exposure against those limits. In addition, both settlement and
replacement risk are reduced through netting by novation, agreements with
counterparties to offset certain related obligations. Market risk is managed
through establishing exposure limits by currency and monitoring actual exposure
against those limits, entering into offsetting positions, and closely monitoring
price behavior.

The Bank and BMO combine their U.S. FX revenues. Under this arrangement, FX
net profit is shared by the Bank and BMO in accordance with a specific formula
set forth in the agreement. This agreement expires on April 2, 2003, but may be
extended at that time. Either party may terminate the arrangement at its option.
FX revenues are reported net of expenses. Net gains (losses) from dealer/trading
foreign exchange contracts, for the years ended December 31, 2002 and December
31, 2001, totaled $7.2 million and $8.8 million, respectively, of net profit
under the aforementioned agreement with BMO.

At December 31, 2002, approximately 98 percent of the Bank's gross notional
positions in foreign currency contracts are represented by eight currencies:
Eurodollar, Canadian dollars, British pounds, Australian dollar, Swiss francs,
Swedish krona, Japanese yen and the Mexican peso.

Foreign exchange contracts include spot, future, forward, option and swap
contracts that enable customers to manage their foreign exchange risk. Spot,
future and forward contracts are agreements to exchange currencies at a future
date, at a specified rate of exchange. Foreign exchange option contracts give
the buyer the right and the seller an obligation (if the buyer asserts his
right) to exchange currencies during a specified period (or on a certain date in
the case of "European" options) at a specified exchange rate. Cross currency
swap contracts are agreements to exchange principal denominated in two different
currencies at the spot rate and to repay the principal at a specified future
date and exchange rate.

Equity Contracts

The Bank enters into equity contracts that enable customers to manage the
risk associated with equity price fluctuations. Equity contracts include options
and swaps.

Commodity Contracts

The Bank enters into commodity contracts that enable customers to manage
the risk associated with commodity price fluctuations. Commodity contracts
include swaps.

60


Risk Management Activity

In addition to its dealer and trading activities, the Bank uses interest
rate contracts, primarily swaps, and foreign exchange contracts to reduce the
level of financial risk inherent in mismatches between the interest rate
sensitivities and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations of certain assets
and liabilities. For non-trading risks, market risk is controlled by actively
managing the asset and liability mix, either directly through the balance sheet
or with off-balance sheet derivative instruments. Measures also focus on
interest rate exposure gaps and sensitivity to rate changes.

The Bank has an interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates
the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations
in earnings that may be caused by interest rate volatility. The Bank manages
interest rate sensitivity by modifying the repricing or maturity characteristics
of certain fixed rate assets so that net interest margin is not adversely
affected, on a material basis, by movements in interest rates. As a result of
interest rate fluctuations, fixed rate assets will appreciate or depreciate in
market value. The effect of the unrealized appreciation or depreciation will
generally be offset by the gains or losses on the derivative instruments.

The Bank has a foreign currency risk management strategy that incorporates
the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations
in earnings that may be caused by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Certain assets and liabilities are denominated in foreign currency, creating
exposure to changes in exchange rates. The Bank uses cross currency interest
rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the risk.

Risk management activities include the following derivative transactions
that qualify for hedge accounting.

Fair Value Hedges

The Bank uses interest rate swaps to alter the character of revenue earned
on certain long-term, fixed rate loans. Interest rate swaps convert the fixed
rate loans into variable rate loans. Interest rate swap contracts generally
involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments between two
parties, based on a common notional amount and maturity date.

For fair value hedges, as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the
Bank recorded the fair value of derivative instrument liabilities of $14.9
million and $8.2 million respectively, in other liabilities. Net losses recorded
for the year-to-date periods ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001
representing the ineffective portion of the fair value hedges were not material
to the consolidated financial statements of the Bank. Gains or losses resulting
from hedge ineffectiveness are recorded in noninterest income.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Bank had no cash flow hedges during 2002. Prior to 2002, the Bank had
used a total return swap to reduce the variability associated with the cash
flows from an equity security. The total return swap converted the cash flows
received on an available-for-sale equity security from variable to fixed.
Changes in the fair value of the swap were recorded in other comprehensive
income. The unrealized holding gain (loss) on the available-for-sale equity
security was recorded in other comprehensive income. Prior to September 30, 2001
the Bank removed the hedge designation due to the expectation of diminished cash
flows from the equity security. The unrealized loss in accumulated other
comprehensive income related to the total return swap was not material to the
consolidated financial statements of the Bank. As of September 30, 2001 the
swap, designated a nonhedging derivative, was marked to market and the resulting
unrealized gain was recorded in noninterest income.

Risk management activities also include the following derivative
transactions that do not otherwise qualify for hedge accounting.

61


Foreign exchange contracts are used to stabilize any currency exchange rate
fluctuation for certain senior notes and certain loans. The derivative
instruments, primarily cross currency interest rate swaps and to a lesser extent
forward contracts, do not qualify for hedge accounting and are accounted for at
fair value.

The Bank has qualifying mortgage loan commitments that are intended to be
sold in the secondary market. These loan commitments are derivatives and are
accounted for at fair value. The Bank enters into forward sales of
mortgage-backed securities to minimize its exposure to interest rate volatility.
These forward sales of mortgage-backed securities are also derivatives and are
accounted for at fair value.

Securities Activities

The Bank's securities activities that have off-balance-sheet risk include
municipal bond underwriting and short selling of securities.

Through its municipal bond underwriting activities, the Bank commits to buy
and offer for resale newly issued bonds. The Bank is exposed to market risk
because it may be unable to resell its inventory of bonds profitably as a result
of unfavorable market conditions. In syndicate arrangements, the Bank is
obligated to fulfill syndicate members' commitments should they default. The
syndicates of which the Bank was a member had underwriting commitments totaling
$37 million at December 31, 2002 and $51 million at December 31, 2001.

Security short selling, defined as selling of securities not yet owned,
exposes the Bank to off-balance-sheet market risk because the Bank may be
required to buy securities at higher prevailing market prices to cover its short
positions. The Bank had no short position at December 31, 2002 or 2001.

12. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK IN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Bank had one major concentration of credit risk arising from financial
instruments at December 31, 2002 and 2001. This concentration was the Midwest
geographic area. This concentration exceeded 10 percent of the Bank's total
credit exposure, which is the total potential accounting loss should all
customers fail to perform according to contract terms and all collateral prove
to be worthless.

Midwestern Geographic Area

A majority of the Bank's customers are located in the Midwestern region of
the United States, defined here to include Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin. The Bank provides credit to these
customers through a broad array of banking and trade financing products
including commercial loans, commercial loan commitments, commercial real estate
loans, consumer installment loans, mortgage loans, home equity loans and lines,
standby and commercial letters of credit and banker's acceptances. The financial
viability of customers in the Midwest is, in part, dependent on the region's
economy. Corporate customers headquartered in the region and serving a national
or international market are not included in this concentration because their
business is broad-based and not dependent on the region's economy. The Bank's
maximum risk of accounting loss, should all customers making up the Midwestern
concentration fail to perform according to contract terms and all collateral
prove to be worthless, was approximately $13.4 billion or 50 percent of the
Bank's total credit exposure at December 31, 2002 and $14.0 billion or 51
percent of the Bank's total credit exposure at December 31, 2001.

The Bank manages this exposure by continually reviewing local market
conditions and customers, adjusting individual and industry exposure limits
within the region and by obtaining or closely monitoring collateral values. See
Note 10 to Financial Statements for information on collateral supporting credit
facilities.

13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Bank has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering
virtually all its employees as of December 31, 2002. Most of the employees
participating in retirement plans were included in one primary plan ("primary
plan") during the three-year period ended December 31, 2002. The plan is a
multiple-employer plan covering the Bank's employees as well as persons employed
by certain affiliated entities.
62


Effective January 1, 2002, the plan's benefit formula was changed to an
account-based formula from a final average pay formula. The account-based
benefit formula is based upon eligible pay, age and length of service. Prior to
January 1, 2002, the plan's benefit formula is a final average pay formula. It
is based upon length of service and an employee's highest qualifying
compensation during five consecutive years of active employment less an
estimated Social Security benefit.

The policy for this plan is to have the participating entities, at a
minimum, fund annually an amount necessary to satisfy the requirements under
ERISA, without regard to prior years' contributions in excess of the minimum.
For 2002, 2001 and 2000, cumulative contributions were greater than the amounts
recorded as primary pension expense for financial reporting purposes. The total
consolidated pension expense of the Bank, including the supplemental plan
(excluding settlement losses and curtailment gains), for 2002, 2001, and 2000
was $11.7 million, $7.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively.

In addition to pension benefits, the Bank provides medical care benefits
for retirees (and their dependents) who have attained age 55 and have at least
10 years of service. The Bank also provides medical care benefits for disabled
employees and widows of former employees (and their dependents). The Bank
provides these medical care benefits through a self-insured plan. Under the
terms of the plan, the Bank contributes to the cost of coverage based on
employees' length of service. Cost sharing with plan participants is
accomplished through deductibles, coinsurance and out-of-pocket limits. Funding
for the plan largely comes from the general assets of the Bank supplemented by
contributions to a trust fund created under Internal Revenue Code Section
401(h).

Curtailment gains amounting to $7.3 million and $2.3 million for pension
plan and postretirement medical plan, respectively, were recognized in 2000 due
to the sale of corporate trust business, the sale of merchant card business and
the outsourcing arrangement with Alltel. Of those totals, $2.2 million and $0.5
million, respectively, were recognized as a direct reduction of benefit expense.
Settlement losses amounting to $0.1 million for the supplemental plan were
recognized in 2000.

The following tables set forth the change in benefit obligation and plan
assets for the pension and postretirement medical care benefit plans for the
Bank:

* Discount rates are used to determine service costs for the subsequent year.

For measurement purposes, a 10.0 percent annual rate of increase for pre 65
and a 13.0 percent annual rate of increase for post 65 in the per capita cost of
covered health care benefits was assumed for 2002. The rate will be graded down
to 5.5 percent for pre 65 and 6.5 percent for post 65 in 2011 and 2009,
respectively, and remain level thereafter.

Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the
amounts reported for the health care plans. A one-percentage-point change in
assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

The Bank has a defined contribution plan that is available to virtually all
employees. Effective January 1, 2002, the Bank amended the plan to enhance the
401(k) matching contribution and discontinue the profit sharing contribution.
The matching contribution is based on the amount of eligible employee
contributions.

66


The profit sharing contribution was based on the annual financial performance of
the Bank relative to predefined targets. The Bank's total expense for this plan
was $9.3 million, $7.8 million and $9.7 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

14. STOCK OPTIONS

The Bank has two primary stock-based compensation plans, an options program
and a performance incentive plan. A stock appreciation rights plan was fully
paid out early in 2000. The option plans are accounted for under the fair value
based method of accounting and they are described below.

Harris Bankcorp Stock Option Program

The Harris Bankcorp Stock Option Program was established under the Bank of
Montreal Stock Option Plan for certain designated executives and other employees
of the Bank and affiliated companies in order to provide incentive to attain
long-term strategic goals and to attract and retain services of key employees.

The Bank has two types of option plans. The Fixed Stock Option Plan
consists of standard stock options with a ten-year term which are exercisable
only during the second five years of their term, assuming cumulative performance
goals are met. The Performance Based Option Plan consists of standard and
performance conditioned stock options with a ten-year term and a four-year
vesting period, which are exercisable twenty-five percent per annum. The
standard options may be exercised at any time once vested. The
performance-conditioned options may be exercised provided the BMO shares trade
at fifty percent over the price of the stock at date of grant for twenty
consecutive days, after the vesting date. The stock options are exercisable for
BMO common stock equal to the market price on the date of grant. The
compensation expense related to this program totaled $5.6 million, $4.5 million
and $2.9 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity for 2002, 2001 and
2000 and provides details of stock options outstanding at December 31, 2002:

Harris Bankcorp Mid-Term Incentive Plan

The Bank maintains the Mid-Term Incentive Plan which was established in
January 2000. The Plan is intended to enhance the Bank's ability to attract and
retain high quality employees and to provide a strong incentive to employees to
achieve BMO's governing objective of maximizing value for its shareholders.

Payouts under the plan to participants depend on the achievement of
specific performance criteria that are set at the grant date. The right to
receive distributions under the plan vest and are paid out after three years
based on various factors including the BMO share price. Compensation expense for
this plan totaled $10.6 million and $6.8 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively.
There was no compensation expense related to this plan in 2000.

Harris Bankcorp Stock Appreciation Rights Plan

The Harris Bankcorp Stock Appreciation Rights Plan was fully paid between
November 23, 1999 and January 22, 2000. All rights were exercised at that time.
No compensation expense was recorded was recorded in 2002, 2001 or 2000.

million in 2001 and $13.3 million in 2000. These amounts include real estate
taxes, maintenance and other rental-related operating costs of $6.6 million,
$2.9 million and $3.8 million for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, paid under
net lease arrangements. Lease commitments are primarily for office space.

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the respective net deferred tax assets of
$75.3 million and $81.2 million included $67.7 million and $72.8 million for
Federal taxes and $7.6 million and $8.4 million for state taxes, respectively.
Management believes that the realization of the recognized net deferred tax
asset is more likely than not based on existing carryback ability and
expectations as to future taxable income.

Total income tax expense of $67.3 million for 2002, $10.2 million for 2001,
and $97.3 million for 2000 reflects effective tax rates of 28.2 percent, 11.1
percent, and 30.1 percent, respectively. The reconciliation between actual tax
expense and the amount determined by applying the federal statutory rate of 35
percent to income before income taxes were as follows:

17. REGULATORY CAPITAL

The Bank, as a state-member bank, must adhere to the capital adequacy
guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board ("the Board"), which are not
significantly different than those published by other U.S. banking regulators.
The guidelines specify minimum ratios for Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets
of 4 percent and total regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets of 8 percent.

Risk-based capital guidelines define total capital to consist primarily of
Tier 1 (core) and Tier 2 (supplementary) capital. In general, Tier 1 capital is
comprised of stockholder's equity, including certain types of preferred stock,
less goodwill and certain other intangibles. Core capital must comprise at least
50 percent of total capital. Tier 2 capital basically includes subordinated debt
(less a discount factor during the five years prior to maturity), other types of
preferred stock and the allowance for possible loan losses. The portion of the
allowance for possible loan losses includable in Tier 2 capital is limited to
1.25 percent of risk-weighted assets.

The Board also requires an additional measure of capital adequacy, the Tier
1 leverage ratio, which is evaluated in conjunction with risk-based capital
ratios. The Tier 1 leverage ratio is computed by dividing period-end Tier 1
capital by adjusted quarterly average assets. The Board established a minimum
ratio of 3 percent applicable only to the strongest banking organizations
having, among other things, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, good
earnings and no undue interest rate risk exposure. Other institutions are
expected to maintain a minimum ratio of 4 percent.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 contains
prompt corrective action provisions that established five capital categories for
all Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")-insured institutions ranging
from "well capitalized" to "critically undercapitalized." Classification within
a category is based primarily on the three capital adequacy measures. An
institution is considered "well capitalized" if its capital level significantly
exceeds the required minimum levels, "adequately capitalized" if it meets the
minimum levels, "undercapitalized" if it fails to meet the minimum levels,
"significantly undercapitalized" if it is significantly below the minimum levels
and "critically undercapitalized" if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total
assets of 2 percent or less.

Noncompliance with minimum capital requirements may result in regulatory
corrective actions that could have a material effect on the Bank's financial
statements. Depending on the level of noncompliance, regulatory corrective
actions may include the following: requiring a plan for restoring the
institution to an acceptable capital category, restricting or prohibiting
certain activities and appointing a receiver or conservator for the institution.

As of December 31, 2002, the most recent notification from the FDIC
categorized the Bank as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. Management is not aware of any conditions or events
since December 31, 2002 that have changed the capital category of the Bank.

At December 31, 2002 the Bank had $255 million of minority interest in
preferred stock of a subsidiary including $250 million noncumulative,
exchangeable Series A preferred stock with dividends payable at the rate of
7 3/8% per annum. The Bank also had a total of $5 million of preferred stock
with cumulative dividends payable at the rate of LIBOR plus 100 basis points
adjusted as of the first business day of the calendar quarter which the record
date falls. Dividends of $19 million and $18 million were paid on the preferred
stock in 2002 and 2001, respectively. All issues of the preferred stock qualify
as Tier 1 Capital for the Bank under U.S. banking regulatory guidelines.

The following table summarizes the Bank's risk-based capital ratios and
Tier 1 leverage ratio for the past two years as well as the minimum amounts and
ratios as per capital adequacy guidelines and FDIC prompt corrective action
provisions.

18. INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES AND STATUTORY RESTRICTIONS

The Bank's investment in the combined net assets of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries was $787 million and $639 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.

Provisions of both Illinois and Federal banking laws place restrictions
upon the amount of dividends that can be paid to Bankcorp by its bank
subsidiaries. Illinois law requires that no dividends may be paid in an amount
greater than the net profits then on hand, reduced by certain loan losses (as
defined). In addition to these restrictions, Federal Reserve member banking
subsidiaries require prior approval of Federal banking authorities if dividends
declared by a subsidiary bank, in any calendar year, will exceed its net profits
(as defined in the applicable statute) for that year, combined with its retained
net profits, as so defined, for the preceding two years. Based on these and
certain other prescribed regulatory limitations, the Bank could have declared,
without regulatory approval, $314 million of dividends at December 31, 2002.
Actual dividends paid, however, would be subject to prudent capital maintenance.
Cash dividends paid to Bankcorp by the Bank amounted to $188 million and $84
million in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The Bank is required by the Federal Reserve Act to maintain reserves
against certain of their deposits. Reserves are held either in the form of vault
cash or balances maintained with the Federal Reserve Bank. Required reserves are
essentially a function of daily average deposit balances and statutory reserve
ratios prescribed by type of deposit. During 2002 and 2001, daily average
reserve balances of $266 million and $255 million, respectively, were required
for the Bank. At year-end 2002 and 2001, balances on deposit at the Federal
Reserve Bank totaled $211 million and $264 million, respectively.

19. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Bank and certain subsidiaries are defendants in various legal
proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of
management, based on the advice of legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of
these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Bank's financial
position or results of operations.

Determination of rates for foreign funds generated or used are based on the
actual external costs of specific interest-bearing sources or uses of funds for
the periods. Internal allocations for certain unidentifiable income and expenses
were distributed to foreign operations based on the percentage of identifiable
foreign

income to total income. As of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, identifiable
foreign assets accounted for 3 percent, 1 percent and 1 percent, respectively,
of total consolidated assets.

22. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DISPOSITIONS/INTANGIBLES

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, intangible assets, including goodwill
resulting from business combinations, amounted to $187 million and $206 million,
respectively. Amortization of these intangibles amounted to $16.0 million in
2002, $23.8 million in 2001, and $22.7 million in 2000. The decrease in the 2002
amortization is primarily due to the Bank's adoption of SFAS No. 147,
"Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions-an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9," on October 1, 2002 (See Note 6).
The impact of purchase accounting adjustments, other than amortization of
intangibles, was not material to the Bank's reported results.

In March 2000, the Bank sold its corporate trust business. In separate and
unrelated transactions, the indenture trust business was sold to a subsidiary of
The Bank of New York Company, Inc., and the shareholder services business to
Computershare Limited. The combined sales resulted in a pretax gain of $45.6
million.

On December 1, 2000, the Bank sold its merchant card business to the credit
card processing joint venture (Moneris) formed between BMO and Royal Bank of
Canada. The sale resulted in a pretax gain to the Bank of $60.2 million, which
was eliminated in the consolidation of the Bank's results with BMO.

23. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During 2002, 2001, and 2000, the Bank engaged in various transactions with
BMO and its subsidiaries. These transactions included the payment and receipt of
service fees and occupancy expenses; purchasing and selling Federal funds;
repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements; short-term borrowings; interest
rate and foreign exchange rate contracts. The purpose of these transactions was
to facilitate a more efficient use of combined resources and to better serve
customers. Fees for these services were determined in accordance with applicable
banking regulations. During 2002, 2001, and 2000, the Bank received from BMO
approximately $20.8 million, $24.9 million and $14.7 million respectively,
primarily for trust services, data processing and other operations support
provided by the Bank. The Corporation made payments to BMO of approximately
$27.3 million, $32.1 million and $17.0 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

The Bank and BMO combine their U.S. foreign exchange activities. Under this
arrangement, the Bank and BMO share FX net profit in accordance with a specific
formula set forth in the agreement. This agreement expires in April 2003 but may
be extended at that time. Either party may terminate the arrangement at its
option. FX revenues are reported net of expenses. 2002, 2001 and 2000 foreign
exchange revenues included $7.2 million, $8.8 million and $7.2 million of net
profit, respectively, under this agreement.
