Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1). BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for Harbor
Florida Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiary Harbor Federal
Savings Bank (the "Bank") reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to
present fairly the Company's consolidated financial condition and the
consolidated results of operations and cash flows for interim periods. The
results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or results
to be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated interim financial
statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2002.

The Company's only significant business is holding the common stock of the Bank.
Consequently, its net income is primarily derived from the Bank.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" ("Statement 143"), which addresses financial accounting
and reporting for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible
long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. Statement 143 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. This statement did not
have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets" ("Statement 144") which supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of" ("Statement 121") and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting
Principles Board (APB) No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operation - Reporting
the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual
and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of a
segment of a business. While Statement 144 retains many of the fundamental
provisions of Statement 121, it establishes a single accounting model for
long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, and resolves certain implementation
issues not previously addressed by Statement 121. Statement 144 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. This statement did not have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections"
("Statement 145"). Among other things, Statement 145 rescinds FASB Statement No.
4, "Reporting Gains and Losses From Extinguishment of Debt", which required all
gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material,
classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. The
provisions of Statement 145 related to the rescission of FASB Statement No. 4
are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early
application encouraged. This statement did not have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("Statement 146") which requires, among other
things, recording a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal
activity when that liability is incurred and can be measured at fair value.
Commitment to an exit plan or a plan of disposal expresses only management's
future actions and, therefore, does not meet the requirement for recognizing a
liability and the related expense. The provisions of Statement 146 are effective
prospectively for exit and disposal activities initiated after December 31,
2002, with early application encouraged. This statement is not expected to have
a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.




6


In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123"
("Statement 148") to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary
change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of
Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim
financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The
provisions of Statement 148 are effective for interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. This statement is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements. (See Note 7)


2). NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three months ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001. Adjustments have been made, where material, to give
effect to the shares that would be outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive
stock options, all of which are considered common stock equivalents.

The allowance for loan losses consists of general allowances of $14,698,000 and
$14,377,000 and specific allowances of $2,000 and $-0- at December 31, 2002 and
September 30, 2002, respectively. The specific allowances relate to impaired
loans (primarily consisting of classified loans), other than those evaluated
collectively, of $8,969,000 and $8,941,000 at December 31, 2002 and September
30, 2002, respectively. The Company evaluates impaired loans based on (a) the
present value of the expected future cash flows of the impaired loan discounted
at the loan's original effective interest rate, (b) the observable market price
of the impaired loan, or (c) the fair value of the collateral of a collateral
dependant loan. To the extent that an impaired loan's value is less than the
loan's recorded investment, a specific allowance is recorded.

At December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2002, loans with unpaid principal
balances of approximately $1,810,000 and $1,660,000, respectively, were 90 days
or more contractually delinquent or on nonaccrual status. As of December 31,
2002 and September 30, 2002, approximately $1,526,000 and $1,209,000,
respectively, of these loans were in the process of foreclosure.

As of December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2002, mortgage loans which had been
sold on a recourse basis had outstanding principal balances of approximately
$343,000 and $370,000 respectively.

6). TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND SERVICING RIGHTS RETAINED

Transfers of financial assets, primarily mortgage loans, are accounted for as
sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over
transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been
isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of
conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or
exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective
control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them
before their maturity.







11


Upon completion of a transfer of assets that satisfies the conditions described
above to be accounted for as a sale, the Company:

a. Derecognizes all assets sold
b. Recognizes all assets obtained and liabilities incurred in consideration as
proceeds of the sale
c. Initially measures, at fair value, assets obtained and liabilities incurred
in a sale
d. Recognizes in earnings any gain or loss on the sale.

The Company recognized gains on sales of mortgage loans of $1,314,000 and
$459,000, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.

The Company receives fees for servicing activities on loans it has sold. These
activities include, but are not limited to, collecting principal, interest and
escrow payments from borrowers; paying taxes and insurance from escrowed funds;
monitoring delinquencies; and accounting for and remitting principal and
interest payments. To the extent that the servicing fees exceed or do not
provide adequate compensation for the services provided, the Company records a
servicing asset or liability for the fair value of the servicing retained.
Currently, the servicing fees retained by the Company are just adequate to
compensate the Company for the servicing responsibilities. As of December 31,
2002, no servicing assets and/or liabilities were recognized.

At December 31, 2002, the Company had stock option plans for the benefit of
directors, officers and other employees of the Company. The Company accounts for
those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No.
25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related Interpretations.
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock plans, since
stock option exercise prices are equal to market price at dates of grant.

Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been
determined in accordance with the fair value based method in FASB Statement No.
123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation", the Company's net income and net
income per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated
below:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains certain "forward-looking statements." Harbor Florida
Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor"
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is
including this statement for the express purpose of availing itself of the
protections of the safe harbor with respect to all such forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements, which are included in Management's
Discussion and Analysis, describe future plans or strategies and include the
Company's expectations of future financial results. The words "believe,"
"expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements. The Company's ability to predict results or the
effect of future plans or strategies or qualitative or quantitative changes
based on market risk exposure is inherently uncertain. Factors which could
affect actual results include but are not limited to i) change in general market
interest rates, ii) general economic conditions, iii) legislative/regulatory
changes, iv) monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal
Reserve, v) changes in the quality or composition of the Company's loan and
investment portfolios, vi) demand for loan products, vii) deposit flows, viii)
competition, and ix) demand for financial services in the Company's markets.
These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements,
and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Results of Operations

Comparisons of quarterly results of operations in this section are between the
three months ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001.

General. Diluted earnings per share for the first fiscal quarter ended December
31, 2002, increased 33.3% to 40 cents per share on net income of $9.3 million,
compared to 30 cents per share on net income of $6.9 million for the same period
last year. This increase was due primarily to the increase in net interest
income mainly due to the decrease in the cost of deposits and the growth in the
loan portfolio and investment securities. The current quarter included
nonrecurring income of $187,000 or 1 cent per share, after tax, from gains on
the sale of equity securities.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased 20.2% to $20.5 million for
the quarter ended December 31, 2002, from $17.0 million for the same period last
year. This increase was due primarily to the decrease in the costs of deposits
and to the growth in the loan portfolio and investment securities. Average
interest-earning assets increased by $309.6 million to $2.034 billion for the
three months ended December 31, 2002, from $1.724 billion for the same period
last year. The average balance of the loan portfolio increased by $120.9
million. The average balance of investment securities increased by $159.3
million. The net interest margin increased to 4.05% for the three months ended
December 31, 2002, from 3.97% for the same period last year due primarily to the
cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreasing more than the yield on
interest-earning assets in the declining interest rate environment. The average
deposit mix changed to 42.0% and 58.0% of core deposits and certificate
accounts, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2002 from 37.7%
and 62.3%, respectively, for the same period last year.

Provision for Loan Losses. The determination of the allowance for loan losses is
considered by management to be a critical accounting policy and is based upon
estimates made by management. The provision for loan losses was $451,000 for the
quarter ended December 31, 2002, compared to $306,000 for the same period last
year. The provision for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 was principally
comprised of a charge of $252,000 due to growth in the loan portfolio, primarily
commercial real estate and commercial business loan portfolios, $128,000 for net
charge offs and $71,000 for an increase in the level of classified loans.







13


The provision for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 was principally comprised
of a charge of $187,000 due to an increase in the level of classified loans,
primarily commercial real estate loans, $80,000 in net charge offs, and $39,000
due to growth in the loan portfolio.

Nonperforming loans decreased to $1.8 million at December 31, 2002 from $2.8
million at December 31, 2001. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to
total nonperforming loans increased to 812.22% at December 31, 2002 from 493.07%
at December 31, 2001.

There were no significant changes in the estimation methods or fundamental
assumptions used in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses at December
31, 2002, compared to September 30, 2002. Furthermore, there was no reallocation
of the allowance from September 30, 2002. While the Company's management uses
available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the
allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions.

Other Income. Other income increased to $5.4 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 2002, from $3.4 million for the same period last year. This
increase was due primarily to increases of $855,000 in gain on sale of mortgage
loans, $791,000 in other fees and service charges, and $305,000 in gain on the
sale of equity securities. Other fees and service charges, primarily from fees
and service charges on deposit products, were $3.2 million and $2.4 million for
the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This increase was
due primarily to the growth in transaction accounts. Gain on the sale of
mortgage loans was $1.3 million and $459,000 for the quarters ended December 31,
2002 and 2001, respectively. This increase was due to an increase in the sale of
residential one-to-four family fixed rate mortgage loans to reduce interest rate
risk by limiting the growth of long term fixed rate loans in the portfolio.
Gains on sale of securities, primarily equity securities, was $305,000 and $-0-
for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Other Expenses. Other expenses increased to $10.2 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 2002, from $8.7 million for the same period last year. This
increase was due primarily to increases of $938,000 in compensation and
benefits, $175,000 in occupancy, $109,000 in data processing services, $108,000
in advertising and promotion and $138,000 in other expense. The increase in
compensation and benefits is due primarily to annual salary increases,
additional staff required to support the growth in loans and deposits and
contributions to the defined benefit plan. The increase in occupancy expense was
due primarily to an increase in data processing equipment expense. The increases
in data processing services, advertising and promotion, and other expenses were
due primarily to increases resulting from the growth in loans and deposits.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased to $6.0 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 2002, from $4.4 million for the same period last year due primarily
to an increase in pretax accounting income. The effective tax rates were 39.1%
and 39.0% for the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Financial Condition

Comparisons of financial condition in this section are from the end of the
preceding fiscal year to December 31, 2002.

Total assets increased to $2.126 billion at December 31, 2002, from $2.091
billion at the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. The increase is due
primarily to an increase in investment securities, partially offset by a
decrease in interest bearing deposits in other banks and repayments of
mortgage-backed securities.

Interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased to $59.7 million at December
31, 2002, from $95.3 million at September 30, 2002. The decrease is due
primarily to a decrease in funds on deposit at the FHLB to fund purchases of
investment securities.

Investment securities available for sale increased to $238.0 million at December
31, 2002, from $147.2 million at September 30, 2002. The increase is due
primarily to the purchase of $90.3 million FHLMC, FHLB, and FNMA Notes. The
purchases were funded with excess cash provided by the net increase in deposits
and the decrease in interest bearing deposits in other banks.

Mortgage-backed securities decreased to $156.4 million at December 31, 2002,
from $181.2 million at September 30, 2002. The decrease is due primarily to
repayments.

Net loans increased to $1.545 billion at December 31, 2002, from $1.541 billion
at September 30, 2002. The increase is due primarily to loan disbursements of
$194.4 million partially offset by repayments of $146.3 million and sale of
mortgage loans of $46.7 million. The increase in net loans for the three months
ended December 31, 2002 is due primarily to a net increase of $10.4 million in
land loans, $7.6 million in commercial business loans, and $2.0 million in
consumer loans, partially offset by a $17.4 million decrease in residential 1-4
family mortgage loans.

Deposits increased to $1.415 billion at December 31, 2002, from $1.372 billion
at September 30, 2002. The increase is due primarily to a net increase in
deposits before interest credited of $35.3 million and interest credited of $6.9
million. The net increase in deposits for the three months ended December 31,
2002 is due primarily to a net increase of $46.0 million in core deposits
partially offset by a decrease of $3.8 million in deposits in certificate
accounts.

FHLB advances remained constant at $445.5 million at December 31, 2002, from
September 30, 2002.

Stockholders' equity increased to $244.7 million at December 31, 2002, from
$238.9 million at September 30, 2002. The increase is due primarily to $9.3
million of earnings for the three months partially offset by $2.5 million of
dividends paid and the repurchase of $2.9 million of Company common stock to be
held as treasury stock. During the three months, the Company repurchased 136,831
shares at an average price of $20.93 per share to be held as treasury stock in
accordance with the Company's stock repurchase program.







15


At December 31, 2002, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements as
follows:





Required Actual Excess of
-------- ------ Actual Over
% of % of Regulatory
Amount Assets Amount Assets Requirements
------ ------ ------ ------ ------------
(Dollars in thousands)


Tangible Capital $ 31,771 1.50% $ 203,580 9.61% $ 171,809
Core Capital $ 63,543 3.00% $ 203,580 9.61% $ 140,037
Risk-Based Capital $ 94,200 8.00% $ 217,533 18.47% $ 123,333



Cash Flow

The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, repayments of loans and
mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other
short-term investments, and earnings and funds from operations. The Bank will
consider increasing its borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) from
time to time as an alternative to increasing deposit account interest rates. In
addition, the Bank holds unpledged fixed and adjustable rate mortgage-backed
securities totaling $141.4 million at December 31, 2002 that could be used as
collateral under repurchase transactions with securities dealers. Repurchase
transactions serve as secured borrowings and provide a source of short-term
liquidity for the Bank. At December 31, 2002, the Bank had $810.4 million or
57.3% of the Bank's deposits in certificate accounts. Based on past experience,
management believes that a substantial percentage of these certificates will be
renewed at maturity, although there can be no assurance that this will occur.
The Bank would use borrowings from the FHLB or repurchase transactions with
securities dealers if replacement funding was needed as a result of maturing
certificate accounts.

Net cash provided by the Company's operating activities (i.e. cash items
affecting net income) was $18.1 million and $12.0 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Net cash used by the Company's investing activities (i.e. cash used primarily
from its investment securities, mortgage-backed securities and loan portfolios)
was $71.0 million and $46.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002
and 2001, respectively. The increase in cash used in 2002 was principally due to
an increase of $69.9 million in the purchases of investment securities available
for sale, partially offset by a $30.9 million decrease in the net increase in
loans and a $12.3 million increase in the proceeds from repayments of
mortgage-backed securities.

Net cash provided by the Company's financing activities (i.e. cash receipts
primarily from net increases (decreases) in deposits and net FHLB advances) was
$20.7 million and $96.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and
2001, respectively. The decrease in cash flows in 2002 was primarily due to a
decrease of $50.0 million in proceeds from FHLB advances and a decrease of $27.6
million in the net increase in deposits.

Asset Quality

Loans 90 days past due are generally placed on nonaccrual status. The Company
ceases to accrue interest on a loan once it is placed on nonaccrual status, and
interest accrued but unpaid at the time is charged against interest income.
Additionally, any loan where it appears evident that the collection of interest
is in doubt is also placed on a nonaccrual status. The Company carries real
estate owned at the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to dispose.
Management regularly reviews assets to determine proper valuation.
