HARRIS PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. 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, primarily U.S.
treasury securities and securities collateralized with real estate mortgages.
The Company holds its assets through a Maryland real estate investment trust
subsidiary, Harris Preferred Capital Trust. Harris Capital Holdings, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, owns 100% of the Company's common stock.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by
management from the books and records of the Company. These statements reflect
all adjustments and disclosures which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented
and should be read in conjunction with the notes to financial statements
included in the Company's 2003 Form 10-K. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal proceedings in which the Company is a defendant may arise in the
normal course of business. There is no outstanding litigation against the
Company.

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

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

The statements contained in this Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely
historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, including statements regarding the Company's expectation, intentions,
beliefs or strategies regarding the future. Forward-looking statements include
the Company's statements regarding tax treatment as a real estate investment
trust, liquidity, capital resources and investment activities. In addition, in
those and other portions of this document, the words "anticipate," "believe,"
"estimate," "expect," "intend" and other similar expressions, as they relate to
the Company or the Company's management, are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current views of the
Company with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks,
uncertainties and assumptions. It is important to note that the Company's actual
results could differ materially from those described herein as anticipated,
believed, estimated or expected. Among the factors that could cause the results
to differ materially are the risks discussed in the "Risk Factors" section
included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No.
333-40257), with respect to the Preferred Shares declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 1998. The Company assumes no
obligation to update any such forward-looking statement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THIRD QUARTER 2004 COMPARED WITH THIRD QUARTER 2003

The Company's net income for the third quarter of 2004 was $5.2 million.
This represented a $700 thousand or 16% increase from third quarter 2003
earnings of $4.5 million. Earnings increased primarily because of higher yields
on earning assets.

6

HARRIS PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION

Third quarter 2004 interest income on the Notes totaled $214 thousand and
yielded 6.4% on $13.5 million of average principal outstanding for the quarter
compared to $341 thousand and a 6.4% yield on $21 million average principal
outstanding for third quarter 2003. The decrease in income was attributable to a
reduction in the Notes balance because of principal paydowns by customers on the
Securing Mortgage Loans. The average outstanding balance of the Securing
Mortgage Loans for third quarter 2004 and 2003 was $17 million and $26 million,
respectively. Interest income on securities available-for-sale for the current
quarter was $4.4 million resulting in a yield of 4.3% on an average balance of
$415 million, compared to $3.2 million with a yield of 4.1% on an average
balance of $316 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in interest
income is primarily attributable to the increase in the mortgage-backed
investment portfolio.

There were no Company borrowings during third quarter 2004 or 2003.

Third quarter 2004 operating expenses totaled $94 thousand, an increase of
$14 thousand or 18% from the third quarter of 2003. Loan servicing expenses
totaled $10 thousand, a decrease of $6 thousand from a year ago. This decrease
is attributable to the reduction in the principal balance of the Notes, thereby
reducing servicing fees payable to the Bank. Advisory fees for the third quarter
2004 were $29 thousand compared to $10 thousand a year earlier, due to increased
costs for processing, recordkeeping and administration. General and
administrative expenses totaled $55 thousand, an increase of $1 thousand over
the same period in 2003.

At September 30, 2004 and 2003, there were no Securing Mortgage Loans on
nonaccrual status.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 COMPARED WITH SEPTEMBER 30, 2003

The Company's net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was
$12.5 million. This represented a $4.2 million decrease or 25% from 2003
earnings. Earnings declined primarily because of a substantial decrease in gains
from security sales compared to last year and lower interest income on earning
assets. The Company had a $1.3 million loss after dividends on its preferred
stock. The Company anticipates that it has sufficient liquidity and earnings
capacity to continue preferred dividend payments on an uninterrupted basis. For
the current 2004 quarter, net income exceeded preferred dividends by $566
thousand.

Interest income on securities purchased under agreement to resell for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004 was $935 thousand, an increase of $85
thousand from the same period in 2003. Interest income on the Notes for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004 totaled $708 thousand and yielded 6.4% on $15
million of average principal outstanding compared to $1.2 million of income
yielding 6.4% on $26 million of average principal outstanding for the same
period in 2003. The decrease in income was attributable to a reduction in the
Note balance because of customer payoffs on the Securing Mortgage Loans. The
average outstanding balance of the Securing Mortgage Loans was $18 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $31 million for the same period in
2003. There were no Company borrowings during either period. Interest income on
securities available-for-sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 was
$10.4 million resulting in a yield of 4.3% on an average balance of $323
million, compared to $11.9 million of interest income resulting in a yield of
4.6% on an average balance of $346 million a year ago. The decrease in interest
income from available-for-sale securities is primarily attributable to the
decrease in the mortgage-backed investment portfolio and an increase in the U.S.
Treasury portfolio. Yields on mortgage-backed securities generally exceed that
of U.S. Treasuries. Recently, additional mortgage-backed securities were
purchased bringing the September 30, 2004 balance to $430 million compared to
$234 million at December 31, 2003. The U.S. Treasury portfolio has substantially
declined at September 30, 2004 to $30 million. Gains from investment securities
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $862 thousand compared
to $3.1 million a year ago.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 totaled
$368 thousand, an increase of $59 thousand from a year ago. Loan servicing
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 totaled $34 thousand, a
decrease of $23 thousand or 40% from 2003. This decrease is attributable to the
reduction in the principal balance of the Notes because servicing costs vary
directly with these balances. Advisory fees for the nine months ended September
30, 2004 were $86 thousand compared to $30 thousand a year ago; primarily
attributable to increased costs for processing, recordkeeping and
administration. General and administrative
7

HARRIS PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION

expenses totaled $248 thousand, an increase of $26 thousand or 12% over the same
period in 2003 as a result of additional insurance, compliance, printing and
processing costs.

On September 30, 2004, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.46094 per
share on outstanding preferred shares to the stockholders of record on September
15, 2004, as declared on September 2, 2004. On September 13, 2004, the Company
paid a cash dividend of $904 thousand on the outstanding common shares to the
stockholder of record on September 6, 2004, as declared on September 2, 2004.
This latter dividend completed the 2003 REIT tax compliance requirements. On
September 30, 2003, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.46094 per share on
outstanding preferred shares to the stockholders of record on September 15,
2003, as declared on September 3, 2003. On September 12, 2003, the Company paid
a cash dividend of $530 thousand on the outstanding common shares to the
stockholder of record on September 3, 2003, as declared on September 3, 2003.
This latter dividend completed the 2002 REIT tax compliance requirements. On a
year-to-date basis, the Company declared and paid $13.8 million of dividends to
holders of preferred shares for each of the nine-month periods ended September
30, 2004 and 2003.

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 asset management requirements are to maintain the
current earning asset portfolio size through the acquisition of additional Notes
or other qualifying assets in order 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 as a result of
repayment of principal balances of individual Securing Mortgage Loans or
maturities or sales of securities. The payment of dividends on the Preferred
Shares is made from legally available funds, arising from operating activities
of the Company. The Company's cash flows from operating activities principally
consist of the collection of interest on the mortgage-backed securities and
other earning assets. 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% of its adjusted REIT ordinary taxable income, as provided
for under the Internal Revenue 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 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the
primary sources of funds in addition to $11.1 million provided from operations
during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $3.6 million provided by
principal repayments on the Notes and $607.6 million from the maturities and
sales of securities available-for-sale. In the prior period ended September 30,
2003, the primary sources of funds other than $14.3 million from operations were
$12.3 million provided by principal repayments on the Notes and $513.7 million
from the maturities and sales of securities available-for-sale. The primary uses
of funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $574.0 million for
purchases of securities available-for-sale and $13.8 million in preferred stock
dividends paid. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2003, the primary uses
of funds were $535.4 million for purchases of securities available-for-sale and
$13.8 million in preferred stock dividends paid.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk.
There have been no material changes in market risk or the manner in which the
Company manages market risk since December 31, 2003.

8

HARRIS PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION

OTHER MATTERS

As of September 30, 2004, the Company believes that it is in full
compliance with the REIT tax rules, and expects to qualify as a non-taxable REIT
under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company expects to meet
all REIT requirements regarding the ownership of its stock and anticipates
meeting the annual distribution requirements.

HARRIS TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Harris Trust and Savings Bank (the "Bank") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Harris Bankcorp, Inc. ("Bankcorp"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris
Financial Corp. (formerly known as Bankmont Financial Corp.), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Bank of Montreal. The consolidated financial statements of the
Bank 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 year's financial statements to the
current year's presentation.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management from
the books and records of the Bank, without audit by independent certified public
accountants. However, these statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of
the results for the interim periods presented.

Because the results of operations are so closely related to and responsive
to changes in economic conditions, the results for any interim period are not
necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire year.

2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Bank and certain of its 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 consolidated
financial position.

3. CASH FLOWS

For purposes of the Bank's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash and
cash equivalents is defined to include cash and demand balances due from banks.
Cash interest payments for the nine months ended September 30 totaled $169.6
million and $152.1 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Cash income tax
payments over the same periods totaled $41.1 million and $7.7 million,
respectively.

4. 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 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. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on either an
accelerated or straight-line basis depending on the character of the acquired
asset. Intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment when
events or future assessments of profitability indicate that the carrying value
may not be recoverable.

The carrying value of the Bank's goodwill as of September 30, 2004 was
$89.3 million. No impairment was recorded during the quarter ended September 30,
2004.

Other than goodwill, the Bank did not have any intangible assets not
subject to amortization as of September 30, 2004.

HARRIS TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK AND SUBSIDIARIES
FINANCIAL REVIEW

THIRD QUARTER 2004 COMPARED WITH THIRD QUARTER 2003

SUMMARY

The Bank had third quarter 2004 net income of $37.5 million, an increase of
$17.8 million or 91 percent from third quarter 2003.

Cash ROE was 10.66 percent in the current quarter and 6.26 percent in the
third quarter 2003. Excluding the impact of unrealized gains and losses in the
securities portfolio recorded directly to equity, cash ROE was 10.52 percent in
the current quarter, compared to 6.46 percent a year ago.

Third quarter net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis was
$109.4 million, down $0.3 million from $109.7 million in 2003's third quarter.
Average earning assets increased 4 percent to $17.45 billion from $16.79 billion
in 2003. Average loans increased by $1.08 billion while average securities
available for sale decreased $775 million. Net interest margin decreased to 2.50
percent in the current quarter from 2.60 percent in the year-ago quarter,
reflecting the impact of declining yields in the securities portfolio and higher
rates on interest-bearing liabilities. This was somewhat offset by a greater
retail loan base with yields generally higher than other earning asset
portfolios and increased levels of noninterest-bearing funds in the mix of
supporting funds.

In the third quarter 2004 the Bank recorded a reduction in the allowance
for loan losses (negative provision) of $25.0 million, a decrease of $53.7
million from the third quarter of 2003. Net charge-offs decreased to $4.9
million from $17.6 million in the prior year. The decrease in provision resulted
from a reduction in net charge-offs and management's assessment that declining
non-performing loan levels are consistent with lower loan losses.

Third quarter noninterest income of $101.7 million decreased $25.6 million
from the same quarter last year. Income from service charges decreased $13.8
million, syndication income decreased $5.7 million and income from mortgage
sales decreased $7.3 million.

Third quarter 2004 noninterest expenses of $179.8 million decreased $3.4
million from the year ago quarter. A decrease in salary expense was partially
offset by increased contract services expense in the quarter.

Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2004 were $135 million or 1.24
percent of total loans, down from $146 million or 1.37 percent at June 30, 2004,
and $182 million or 1.94 percent a year ago. At September 30, 2004, the
allowance for possible loan losses was $204 million, equal to 1.88 percent of
loans outstanding, compared to $227 million or 2.41 percent at the end of third
quarter 2003. The ratio of the allowance for possible loan losses to
nonperforming assets remained unchanged at 124 percent from September 30, 2003
to September 30, 2004.

At September 30, 2004, Tier 1 capital of the Bank amounted to $1.74
billion, up from $1.62 billion one year earlier. The regulatory leverage capital
ratio was 8.71 percent for the third quarter of 2004 compared to 8.42 percent in
the same quarter of 2003. The Bank's capital ratio exceeds the prescribed
regulatory minimum for banks. The Bank's September 30, 2004 Tier 1 and total
risk-based capital ratios were 9.57 percent and 11.80 percent compared to
respective ratios of 10.09 percent and 12.28 percent at September 30, 2003.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 COMPARED WITH SEPTEMBER 30, 2003

SUMMARY

The Bank had net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of
$118.5 million, an increase of $35.0 million or 42 percent from the same period
a year ago.

Excluding the impact of unrealized gains and losses in the securities
portfolio, cash ROE was 11.37 percent, up from 9.07 percent last year.

17


Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis was $332.3 million,
down $8.4 million or 2 percent from $340.7 million in 2003's year-to-date
period. Average earning assets increased 7 percent to $17.58 billion from $16.51
billion in 2003. Most of the increase was attributable to average loans, up $650
million from last year. Net interest margin decreased to 2.52 percent from 2.76
percent in 2003, reflecting the impact of declining yields in the securities
portfolio somewhat offset by increased levels of noninterest-bearing funds in
the mix of supporting funds.

The year-to-date 2004 reduction in the allowance for loan losses of $7.7
million was down $84.3 million from the $76.6 million provision for loan losses
in 2003. Net charge-offs were $24.1 million, a decrease of $32.6 million from
last year, resulting from lower commercial loan write-offs.

Noninterest income of $359.1 million decreased $15.6 million from the same
period last year. Net gains from securities sales increased $16.5 million
compared to a year ago. Trust revenue increased and the Bank realized a $7.1
million gain on the sale of assets received in an earlier troubled debt
restructuring and a gain on the termination of a swap. These were offset by
decreases in mortgage sale income, syndication fees and income from service
charges.

Noninterest expenses of $522.3 million increased $2.0 million from the year
ago period. Income tax expense increased $25.9 million, reflecting higher pretax
income from year ago results.
