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 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 did not
have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

At June 30, 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 proforma amounts indicated
below:

Pro forma .40 .35 1.18 .96



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 April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("Statement 149") to amend and
clarify financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging
activities under FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities. " The statement is effective for contracts entered into
or modified after June 30, 2003. The statement is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.







7


In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 ("Statement 150"), "Accounting for
Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and
Equity." Statement 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and
measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities
and equity. Statement 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial
instrument that is within the scope of Statement 150 as a liability. Statement
150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May
31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim
period beginning after June 15, 2003. This statement did not have a material
impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

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 nine months
ended June 30, 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 $15,846,000 and
$14,377,000 and specific allowances of $2,000 and $-0- at June 30, 2003 and
September 30, 2002, respectively. Impaired loans (primarily consisting of
classified loans), other than those evaluated collectively, were $8,813,000 and
$8,941,000 at June 30, 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 June 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, loans with unpaid principal balances of
approximately $2,276,000 and $1,660,000, respectively, were 90 days or more
contractually delinquent or on nonaccrual status. As of June 30, 2003 and
September 30, 2002, approximately $1,639,000 and $1,209,000, respectively, of
these loans were in the process of foreclosure.

As of June 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, mortgage loans which had been sold
on a recourse basis had outstanding principal balances of approximately $280,000
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 $1,266,000 and
$481,000, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. For
the nine months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized gains on
sale of mortgage loans of $3,698,000 and $1,433,000, 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 June 30, 2003,
no servicing assets and/or liabilities were recognized.

7). ACQUISITION OF INSURANCE AGENCY
-------------------------------

On March 27, 2003, Harbor Insurance Agency, Inc., a subsidiary of Harbor Federal
Savings Bank, completed its acquisition of the David G. Willbur Insurance
Agency. David G. Willbur Insurance Agency has specialized in property and
casualty insurance and has served the residents and businesses of St. Lucie
county for over 76 years. The principal owner, David G. Willbur, joined the
management of Harbor Insurance Agency, Inc. The acquisition further complements
Harbor Insurance Agency's existing line of insurance products and provides a
broader range of insurance company providers to meet changing and growing
customer needs.

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. The results of
operations of the insurance agency acquired are included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition.

Results of Operations

Comparisons of quarterly results of operations in this section are between the
three months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002. Comparison of fiscal year to
date results is between the nine months then ended.

General. Diluted earnings per share for the third fiscal quarter ended June 30,
2003, increased 13.5% to 42 cents per share on net income of $9.6 million,
compared to 37 cents per share on net income of $8.5 million for the same period
last year. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended June 30, 2003,
increased 23.2% to $1.22 per share on net income of $28.2 million, compared to
99 cents per share on net income of $23.0 million for the same period last year.
The increases for both the three and nine 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 nine month periods.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased 10.8% to $21.7 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2003, from $19.6 million for the same period last
year. For the nine months ended June 30, 2003, net interest income increased
15.0% to $63.3 million from $55.0 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 $156.9 million over prior year
averages) and the increase in interest income due to 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 $281.7 million to $2.081
billion for the nine months ended June 30, 2003, from $1.799 billion for the
same period last year. The average balance of the loan portfolio increased by
$105.2 million. The average balance of investment securities increased by $205.1
million. The net interest margin decreased to 4.06% for the nine months ended
June 30, 2003, from 4.08% for the same period last year due primarily to the
yield on interest-earning assets decreasing more than the cost of
interest-bearing liabilities in the declining interest rate environment.







15


The average deposit composition changed to 43.2% and 56.8% of core deposits and
certificate accounts, respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 from
39.2% and 60.8%, 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 $659,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003,
compared to $403,000 for the same period last year. The provision for the
quarter ended June 30, 2003 was principally comprised of a charge of $647,000
due to growth in the loan portfolio, primarily in the commercial real estate and
commercial business loan portfolios, $3,000 for net charge offs and $9,000 due
to changes in the levels of classified loans. The provision for the quarter
ended June 30, 2002 was principally comprised a charge of $290,000 due to growth
in the loan portfolio, primarily in the commercial real estate and consumer loan
portfolios, and $231,000 for net charge offs partially offset by a credit of
$118,000 related to a decrease in the level of classified loans.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2003, the provision for loan losses was $1.6
million compared to $1.1 million for the same period last year. The provision
for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 was principally comprised of a charge of
$1.4 million related to growth in the loan portfolio, primarily commercial real
estate and commercial business loans, $141,000 in net charge offs, and $53,000
due to changes in the levels of classified loans. The provision for the nine
months ended June 30, 2002 was principally comprised of a charge of $362,000 due
to growth in the loan portfolio, primarily in the commercial real estate and
consumer loan portfolios, $307,000 due to an increase in the level of classified
loans, due primarily to the change in classifications of two commercial real
estate loans, and $448,000 in net charge offs. Nonperforming loans decreased to
$2.3 million at June 30, 2003 from $2.7 million at June 30, 2002. The ratio of
the allowance for loan losses to total nonperforming loans increased to 696.39%
at June 30, 2003 from 520.50% at June 30, 2002.

There were no significant changes in the estimation methods or fundamental
assumptions used in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses at June 30,
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 $5.8 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2003, from $4.3 million for the same period last year. The increase was due
primarily to increases of $436,000 in fees and service charges, $785,000 in gain
on sale of mortgage loans, principally residential fixed rate mortgage loans,
and $346,000 in insurance commissions and fees. Fees and service charges
(primarily from fees and service charges on deposit products) were $3.2 million
and $2.8 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
This increase was due primarily to the growth in transaction accounts. Gain on
the sale of mortgage loans was $1.3 million and $481,000 for the quarters ended
June 30, 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. Insurance commissions and fees were $860,000 and $514,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. This increase was due
primarily to the acquisition of an insurance agency in the quarter ended March
31, 2003 and increased sales of insurance products.

Other income increased to $16.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2003,
compared to $11.4 million for the same period last year. This increase was due
primarily to increases of $1.9 million in fees and service charges, $2.3 million
in gain on sale of mortgage loans, principally residential fixed rate mortgage
loans, $532,000 in gain on sale of equity securities, and $437,000 in insurance
commission and fees.







16


Fees and service charges (primarily from fees and service charges on deposit
products) were $9.6 million and $7.8 million for the nine months ended June 30,
2003 and 2002, respectively. This increase was due primarily to the growth in
transaction accounts. Gain on sale of mortgage loans was $3.7 million and $1.4
million for the nine months ended June 30, 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 the sale of securities,
primarily equity securities, was $999,000 and $467,000 for the nine months ended
June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Insurance commissions and fees were $2.0
million and $1.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. This increase was due to the acquisition of an insurance agency in
the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and increased sales of insurance products.

Other Expenses. Other expenses increased to $11.0 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2003, from $9.5 million for the same period last year, due primarily to
increases of $1.1 million in compensation and benefits, $155,000 in occupancy
expense, $80,000 in data processing services, $137,000 in advertising and
promotion, and $96,000 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.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2003, other expenses increased to $31.8
million compared to $27.5 million for the same period last year. This increase
was due primarily to increases of $2.9 million in compensation and benefits,
$518,000 in occupancy expense, $298,000 in data processing services, $311,000 in
advertising and promotion, and $345,000 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.

The Company has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering all
full-time employees who were hired before January 1, 2003 and have attained one
year of service and 21 years of age. As a result of the decline in market value
of the investments held in the defined benefit plan, the Bank, based on
actuarial calculations, currently expects to be required to increase its pension
contribution to approximately $650,000 and $800,000 for fiscal years 2003 and
2004, respectively. The Company recorded pension expense of approximately
$388,000 and $10,700 for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased to $6.2 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2003, from $5.5 million for the same period last year due primarily to
an increase in pretax accounting income. The effective tax rates were 39.3% and
39.2% for the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2003, income tax expense increased to $18.2
million from $14.8 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 nine months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.







17


Financial Condition

Comparisons of financial condition in this section are from the end of the
preceding fiscal year to June 30, 2003.

Total assets increased to $2.267 billion at June 30, 2003, from $2.091 billion
at the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. The increase is due primarily to an
increase in investment securities, loans and mortgage-backed securities,
partially offset by a decrease in interest bearing deposits in other banks.

Interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased to $6.5 million at June 30,
2003, from $95.3 million at September 30, 2002. The decrease is due primarily to
a decrease in funds on deposit at the FHLB used to fund purchases of investment
securities.

Investment securities available for sale increased to $297.6 million at June 30,
2003, from $147.2 million at September 30, 2002. The increase is due primarily
to the purchase of $220.4 million FHLMC, FHLB, and FNMA notes partially offset
by maturities and calls of $70.0 million. The purchases were funded with excess
cash provided by the net increase in deposits and the decrease in interest
bearing deposits in other banks.

Investment securities held to maturity increased to $50.4 million at June 30,
2003 from $200,000 at September 30, 2002. The increase is due primarily to the
purchase of $50.2 million FHLB and FHLMC 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 increased to $208.4 million at June 30, 2003, from
$181.2 million at September 30, 2002. The increase is due primarily to purchases
of $102.1 million of 5 and 7 year fixed-rate balloon securities partially offset
by repayments of $74.7 million. The purchases were funded with a $50.0 million
long-term fixed rate FHLB advance and excess cash provided by the net increase
in deposits.
Net loans increased to $1.572 billion at June 30, 2003, from $1.541 billion at
September 30, 2002. The increase is due primarily to loan disbursements of
$609.3 million partially offset by repayments of $457.9 million and sales of
mortgage loans of $121.0 million, primarily residential one-to-four family
fixed-rate mortgage loans. The increase in net loans for the nine months ended
June 30, 2003 is due primarily to a net increase of $36.4 million in land loans,
$21.8 million in nonresidential mortgage loans, $14.5 million in commercial
business loans, and $11.8 million in consumer loans, partially offset by a $58.8
million decrease in residential one-to-four family mortgage loans.

Deposits increased to $1.499 billion at June 30, 2003, from $1.372 billion at
September 30, 2002. The increase is due primarily to a net increase in deposits
before interest credited of $106.4 million and interest credited of $18.1
million. The increase in deposits for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 is due
primarily to a net increase of $119.3 million in core deposits and an increase
of $7.1 million in deposits in certificate accounts.

FHLB advances increased to $484.4 million from $445.5 million at June 30, 2003,
from September 30, 2002 due to $53.0 million of new advances partially offset by
$15.0 million of maturing advances. Of the new advances, $50.0 million were
long-term fixed rate advances taken in order to fund the purchase of mortgage
backed securities and to offset the interest rate risk of newly originated
residential one-to-four family fixed rate mortgage loans held in the portfolio.
The remaining $3.0 million of new advances were daily rate advances.







18


Stockholders' equity increased to $254.9 million at June 30, 2003, from $238.9
million at September 30, 2002. The increase is due primarily to $28.2 million of
earnings for the nine months partially offset by $8.4 million of dividends paid
and the repurchase of $8.2 million of Company common stock to be held as
treasury stock. During the nine months, the Company repurchased 352,688 shares
at an average price of $23.22 per share to be held as treasury stock in
accordance with the Company's stock repurchase program.

At June 30, 2003, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements as
follows:



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


Tangible Capital 33,863 1.50% 221,530 9.81% 187,667
Core Capital 67,726 3.00% 221,530 9.81% 153,804
Risk-Based Capital 99,951 8.00% 236,422 18.92% 136,471



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 $193.1 million at June 30, 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 June 30, 2003, the Bank had $821.2 million
or 54.8% 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 $36.8 million and $28.5 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 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 $264.9 million and $207.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2003
and 2002, respectively. The increase in cash used in 2003 was principally due to
an increase of $209.6 million in the purchases of investment securities and a
$17.9 million increase in the purchase of mortgage-backed securities offset by a
$75.6 million decrease in the net increase in loans, a $60,000 increase in
proceeds from maturities of investment securities available for sale and a $32.9
million increase in the proceeds from repayments of mortgage-backed securities.







19


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
$144.3 million and $219.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 and
2002, respectively. The decrease in cash flows in 2003 was primarily due to a
decrease of $57.0 million in proceeds from FHLB advances, a decrease of $12.3
million in the net increase in deposits, and a $5.0 million increase in
repayments of borrowings.

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
$15,846,000 and $14,377,000 and specific allowances of $2,000 and $-0- at June
30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, respectively. Impaired loans (primarily
consisting of classified loans), other than those evaluated collectively, were
$8,813,000 and $8,941,000 at June 30, 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.







20


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
