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 July 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (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 did not
have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation (FIN) 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",
which requires disclosures about the guarantor's obligations and liquidity risks
related to guarantees issued. The disclosure requirements in this Interpretation
are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after
December 15, 2002. This interpretation did not have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51", which
addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities.
The Interpretation clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No.
51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to certain entities in which equity
investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or
do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities
without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The
Interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created after
January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise
obtains an interest after that date. This interpretation did not have a material
impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

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




6


December 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. This statement did not
have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

At March 31, 2003, 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:

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 and six months
ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. 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 $15,190,000 and
$14,377,000 and specific allowances of $2,000 and $-0- at March 31, 2003 and
September 30, 2002, respectively. Impaired loans (primarily consisting of
classified loans), other than those evaluated collectively, were $8,044,000 and
$8,941,000 at March 31, 2003 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 March 31, 2003 and September 30, 2002, loans with unpaid principal balances
of approximately $2,594,000 and $1,660,000, respectively, were 90 days or more
contractually delinquent or on nonaccrual status. As of March 31, 2003 and
September 30, 2002, approximately $2,235,000 and $1,209,000, respectively, of
these loans were in the process of foreclosure.

As of March 31, 2003 and September 30, 2002, mortgage loans which had been sold
on a recourse basis had outstanding principal balances of approximately $301,000
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.

12


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 $1,118,000 and
$493,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. For
the six months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized gains on
sale of mortgage loans of $2,432,000 and $952,000, respectively.

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 March 31, 2003,
no servicing assets and/or liabilities were recognized.


7). ACQUISITION OF INSURANCE AGENCY

On March 27, 2003, Harbor Insurance Agency, a subsidiary of Harbor Federal

Results of Operations

Comparisons of quarterly results of operations in this section are between the
three months ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002. Comparison of fiscal year
to date results is between the six months then ended.

General. Diluted earnings per share for the second fiscal quarter ended March
31, 2003, increased 25.0% to 40 cents per share on net income of $9.3 million,
compared to 32 cents per share on net income of $7.6 million for the same period
last year. Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended March 31, 2003,
increased 29.0% to 80 cents per share on net income of $18.6 million, compared
to 62 cents per share on net income of $14.6 million for the same period last
year. The increases for both the three and six month periods were due primarily
to the increase in net interest income as a result of decreases in interest
expense on deposits and growth in loans and investment securities. The decreases
in interest expense on deposits were caused by a continuation of historically
low interest rates, notwithstanding growth in total average deposits in both the
three and six month periods. Diluted earnings per share for the three and six
months ended March 31, 2003 included nonrecurring income of $187,000 and
$375,000, respectively, or 1 and 2 cents per share, respectively, after tax,
from gains on the sale of equity securities.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased 14.7% to $21.1 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 2003, from $18.4 million for the same period last
year. For the six months ended March 31, 2003, net interest income increased
17.3% to $41.5 million from $35.4 million for the same period last year. This
increase was due primarily to the decrease in interest expense on deposits
(notwithstanding total average deposit growth of $154.2 million for the six
month period) and growth in loans and investment securities. The decreased
interest expense, due substantially to lower costs of deposits, reflects a
continuation of historically low interest rates. Average interest-earning assets
increased by $284.9 million to $2.051 billion for the six months ended March 31,
2003, from $1.766 billion for the same period last year. The average balance of
the loan portfolio increased by $117.0 million. The average balance of
investment securities increased by $180.9 million. The net interest margin
increased to 4.06% for the six months ended March 31, 2003, from 4.02% for the
same period last year due primarily to the cost of




15


interest-bearing liabilities decreasing more than the yield on interest-earning
assets in the declining interest rate environment. The average deposit mix
changed to 42.4% and 57.6% of core deposits and certificate accounts,
respectively, for the six months ended March 31, 2003 from 38.6% and 61.4%,
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 $502,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2003, compared to $408,000 for the same period last
year. The provision for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was principally
comprised of a charge of $518,000 due to growth in the loan portfolio, primarily
in the commercial real estate and commercial business loan portfolios, and
$10,000 for net charge offs partially offset by a decrease of $26,000 due to
changes in the levels of classified loans. The provision for the quarter ended
March 31, 2002 was principally comprised of a charge of $271,000 related to
growth in the loan portfolio and to an increase in the level of classified
loans, due primarily to the change in classification of a commercial real estate
loan, and $137,000 in net charge offs.

For the six months ended March 31, 2003, the provision for loan losses was
$953,000 compared to $714,000 for the same period last year. The provision for
the six months ended March 31, 2003 was principally comprised of a charge of
$770,000 related to growth in the loan portfolio, primarily commercial real
estate and commercial business loans, $138,000 in net charge offs, and $45,000
due to changes in the levels of classified loans. The provision for the six
months ended March 31, 2002 was principally comprised of a charge of $497,000
related to growth in the loan portfolio and to an increase in the level of
classified loans, due primarily to the change in classifications of two
commercial real estate loans, and $217,000 in net charge offs. Nonperforming
loans decreased to $2.6 million at March 31, 2003 from $3.3 million at March 31,
2002. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total nonperforming loans
increased to 585.61% at March 31, 2003 from 423.02% at March 31, 2002.

There were no significant changes in the estimation methods or fundamental
assumptions used in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses at March
31, 2003, 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 March
31, 2003, from $3.8 million for the same period last year. The increase was due
primarily to increases of $639,000 in fees and service charges, $625,000 in gain
on sale of mortgage loans, principally residential fixed rate mortgage loans,
and $305,000 in gain on sale of securities. Fees and service charges, primarily
from fees and service charges on deposit products, were $3.3 million and $2.6
million for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. This
increase was due primarily to the growth in transaction accounts. Gain on the
sale of mortgage loans was $1.1 million and $493,000 for the quarters ended
March 31, 2003 and 2002, 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. Gain on sale of securities, primarily equity securities, was $305,000
and $-0- for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Other income increased to $10.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2003,
compared to $7.1 million for the same period last year. This increase was due
primarily to increases of $1.4 million in fees and service charges, $1.5 million
in gain on sale of mortgage loans, and $610,000 in gain on sale of equity
securities in the six months ended March 31, 2003. Fees and service charges,
primarily from fees and service charges on deposit products, were $6.4 million
and $5.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
This increase was due primarily to the growth in transaction accounts. Gain on
sale of mortgage loans was $2.4 million and $952,000 for the six months ended
March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

16


This increase was due to an increase in the sale of residential one-to-four
family fixed rate mortgage loans to reduce interestrate risk by limiting the
growth of long term fixed rate loans in the portfolio. Gain on the sale of
securities, primarily equity securities, was $610,000 and $-0- for the six
months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Other Expenses. Other expenses increased to $10.6 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2003, from $9.2 million for the same period last year, due primarily
to increases of $841,000 in compensation and benefits, $188,000 in occupancy
expense, $108,000 in data processing services, $65,000 in advertising and
promotion, and $113,000 in other expense. The increase in compensation and
benefits was 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.

For the six months ended March 31, 2003, other expenses increased to $20.7
million compared to $18.0 million for the same period last year. This increase
was due primarily to increases of $1.8 million in compensation and benefits,
$363,000 in occupancy expense, $217,000 in data processing services, $174,000 in
advertising and promotion, and $250,000 in other expenses. The increase in
compensation and benefits was 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
March 31, 2003, from $4.9 million for the same period last year due primarily to
an increase in pretax accounting income. The effective tax rates were 39.2% and
39.1% for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

For the six months ended March 31, 2003, income tax expense increased to $12.0
million from $9.3 million for the same period last year due primarily to an
increase in pretax accounting income. The effective tax rates were 39.2% and
39.0% for the six months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Financial Condition

Comparisons of financial condition in this section are from the end of the
preceding fiscal year to March 31, 2003.

Total assets increased to $2.182 billion at March 31, 2003, 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 $25.3 million at March 31,
2003, 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 $298.0 million at March
31, 2003, from $147.2 million at September 30, 2002. The increase is due
primarily to the purchase of $150.4 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.

17


Investment securities held to maturity increased to $20.4 million at March 31,
2003 from $200,000 at September 30, 2002. The increase is due primarily to the
purchase of $20.2 million FHLB notes, 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 $142.5 million at March 31, 2003, from
$181.2 million at September 30, 2002. The decrease is due primarily to
repayments of $49.0 million partially offset by the purchase of $10.3 million of
five year fixed rate balloon securities.

Net loans increased to $1.566 billion at March 31, 2003, from $1.541 billion at
September 30, 2002. The increase is due primarily to loan disbursements of
$388.0 million partially offset by repayments of $279.4 million and sale of
mortgage loans of $82.3 million. The increase in net loans for the six months
ended March 31, 2003 is due primarily to a net increase of $21.4 million in land
loans, $16.1 million in nonresidential mortgage loans, $9.9 million in
commercial business loans, and $5.9 million in consumer loans, partially offset
by a $33.0 million decrease in residential 1-4 family mortgage loans.

Deposits increased to $1.475 billion at March 31, 2003, from $1.372 billion at
September 30, 2002. The increase is due primarily to a net increase in deposits
before interest credited of $90.3 million and interest credited of $12.6
million. The increase in deposits for the six months ended March 31, 2003 is due
primarily to a net increase of $97.1 million in core deposits and an increase of
$5.8 million in deposits in certificate accounts.

FHLB advances decreased to $430.5 million from $445.5 million at March 31, 2003,
from September 30, 2002 due to the payoff of maturing advances.

Stockholders' equity increased to $252.5 million at March 31, 2003, from $238.9
million at September 30, 2002. The increase is due primarily to $18.6 million of
earnings for the six months partially offset by $5.5 million of dividends paid
and the repurchase of $3.0 million of Company common stock to be held as
treasury stock. During the six months, the Company repurchased 141,607 shares at
an average price of $21.01 per share to be held as treasury stock in accordance
with the Company's stock repurchase program.

At March 31, 2003, 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)

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 $124.3 million at March 31, 2003 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 March 31, 2003, the Bank had $820.0
million or 55.6% 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 $25.4 million and $20.7 million for the six months
ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, 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 $158.4 million and $137.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2003
and 2002, respectively. The increase in cash used in 2003 was principally due to
an increase of $139.9 million in the purchases of investment securities and a
$10 million decrease in proceeds from maturities of investment securities
available for sale, partially offset by a $63.9 million decrease in the purchase
of mortgage-backed securities, a $40.4 million decrease in the net increase in
loans and a $21.1 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
$69.3 million and $156.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2003 and
2002, respectively. The decrease in cash flows in 2003 was primarily due to a
decrease of $50.0 million in proceeds from FHLB advances, a decrease of $25.3
million in the net increase in deposits, a $15.0 million increase in repayments
of borrowings, and a $3.5 million decrease in the purchases of treasury stock.

Critical Accounting Policies

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 allowance for loan losses consists of general allowances of
$15,190,000 and $14,377,000 and specific allowances of $2,000 and $-0- at March
31, 2003 and September 30, 2002, respectively. Impaired loans (primarily
consisting of classified loans), other than those evaluated collectively, were
$8,044,000 and $8,941,000 at March 31, 2003 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.

19


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.

The following table sets forth information regarding the Company's
nonaccrual loans and foreclosed real estate at the dates indicated:
