Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(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, 2003.

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

Certain amounts included in the March 31, 2003 consolidated financial statements
have been reclassified in order to conform to the March 31, 2004 presentation.

At March 31, 2004, 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 Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB
25"), 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 Financial
Accounting Standards Board (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, 2004 and 2003. 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 amortized cost and estimated market value of debt securities at March 31,
2004 and September 30, 2003 by contractual maturity are shown below. Actual
maturities of investment securities may be substantially shorter than
contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call obligations
without penalties. The average expected life of mortgage-backed securities may
be substantially shorter than contractual maturity because borrowers may prepay
or payoff underlying mortgages with or without prepayment penalties.

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 dependent loan. To the extent that an impaired loan's value is less
than the loan's recorded investment, a specific allowance is recorded. There
were no specific allowances recorded at March 31, 2004 and September 30, 2003.

10


The investment in impaired loans (primarily consisting of classified loans),
other than those evaluated collectively for impairment, was $5,891,000 and
$6,259,000 at March 31, 2004 and September 30, 2003 respectively.

At March 31, 2004 and September 30, 2003, loans with unpaid principal balances
of approximately $1,918,000 and $2,215,000, respectively, were 90 days or more
contractually delinquent or on nonaccrual status. As of March 31, 2004 and
September 30, 2003, approximately $1,319,000 and $1,638,000, respectively, of
loans 90 days or more contractually delinquent were in the process of
foreclosure.

(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.

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; and
d. Recognizes in earnings any gain or loss on the sale.

11


The Company recognized gains on sales of mortgage loans of $669,000 and
$1,118,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.
For the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company recognized gains
on sale of mortgage loans of $1,410,000 and $2,432,000, 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, 2004,
no servicing assets and/or liabilities were recognized.

Overview

The Company owns 100% of the common stock of Harbor Federal Savings Bank ("the
Bank"), a federal savings bank whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Bank provides a wide range of banking and
related insurance services but is principally engaged in the business of
attracting deposits predominately from the communities it serves and using these
and other funds to originate primarily one-to-four family first mortgage loans.
The Company's results of operations are highly dependent on net interest income.
Net interest income is a function of the balances of loans and investments
("interest-bearing assets") outstanding in any one period, the yields earned on
such loans and investments, and the interest incurred on deposits and borrowed
funds ("interest-bearing liabilities") that were outstanding in that same
period. The Company's noninterest income consists primarily of fees and service
charges, insurance commissions, gains on sale of mortgage loans, gains on sale
of securities, gains on sale of premises and equipment and, depending on the
period, real estate operations which have either provided income or loss. The
results of operations are also significantly impacted by the amount of
provisions for loan losses, which, in turn, is dependent upon, among other
things, the size and makeup of the loan portfolio, loan quality, and other
credit trends. The noninterest expenses consist primarily of employee
compensation and benefits, occupancy expense and data processing services.
Results of operations are affected by general economic and competitive
conditions, including changes in prevailing interest rates and the policies of
regulatory agencies.

The Company attempts to manage its assets and liabilities in a manner that
stabilizes net interest income and net economic value under a broad range of
interest rate environments. This is accomplished by matching maturity and
repricing periods on loans and investments to maturity and repricing periods on
deposits and borrowings.

13


The Company currently utilizes the following strategies to reduce interest rate
risk: (a) the Company seeks to originate and hold in portfolio adjustable rate
loans which have periodic interest rate adjustments; (b) the Company sells a
portion of newly originated fixed rate residential mortgage loans; (c) the
Company seeks to lengthen the maturities of deposits when deemed cost effective
through the pricing and promotion of certificates of deposits; (d) the Company
seeks to attract low cost checking and transaction accounts which tend to be
less interest rate sensitive when interest rates rise; and (e) the Company has
utilized long term Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances to fund the
origination of fixed rate loans. The Company also maintains a high level of
liquid assets consisting of short-term securities as well as medium-term
securities with expected average lives in the three to four year range, which
are expected to increase in yield as interest rates rise.

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. Critical accounting policies are defined as policies which are
material to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of
operations, and require management's most difficult, subjective, or complex
judgements. The Company's financial results could differ significantly if
different judgements or estimates are applied in the application of these
policies.

The allowance for loan losses was $16,960,000 and $16,199,000 at March 31, 2004
and September 30, 2003, respectively. Impaired loans (primarily consisting of
classified loans), other than those evaluated collectively for impairment, were
$5,891,000 and $6,259,000 at March 31, 2004 and September 30, 2003,
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. There were no specific
allowances recorded at March 31, 2004 and September 30, 2003.

Results of Operations

Comparisons of quarterly results of operations in this section are between the
three months ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003. 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, 2004, increased 10.0% to 44 cents per share on net income of $10.1 million,
compared to 40 cents per share on net income of $9.3 million for the same period
last year. Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended March 31, 2004,
increased 6.3% to 85 cents per share on net income of $19.6 million, compared to
80 cents per share on net income of $18.6 million for the same period last year.
The increase for both the three and six month periods was due primarily to an
increase in net interest income resulting from an increase in average
interest-earning assets due to purchases of mortgage-backed securities and
origination of loans. This growth was funded with low cost core deposits and
FHLB advances. The increase in net interest income was partially offset by a
decrease in gain on sale of mortgage loans and an increase in other expenses.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased 11.3% to $23.4 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 2004, from $21.1 million for the same period last
year. For the six months ended March 31, 2004, net interest income increased
10.3% to $45.8 million from $41.5 million for the same period last year. The
increase for three and six month periods was due primarily to a 15.1% and 14.0%
increase, respectively, in average interest-earning assets that were funded
primarily with low cost, core deposits and FHLB advances. The average balance of
mortgage-backed securities for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 increased $306.7
million from the quarter ended March 31, 2003, partially offset by a decrease of
$66.6 million in investment securities and $50.4 million in interest-bearing
deposits in other banks.


14


The Company's investment strategy has been to shift the securities portfolio
from lower yielding, shorter term investment securities into higher yielding
balloon mortgage-backed securities, with expected average lives in the three to
four year range. Total loans increased by $122.2 million. The average balance of
core deposits increased by $204.5 million and FHLB advances increased by $93.5
million. The average deposit composition changed to 49.9% and 50.1% of core
deposits and certificate accounts, respectively, for the three months ended
March 31, 2004 from 42.9% and 57.1%, respectively, for the same period last
year.

The average balance of mortgage-backed securities for the six months ended March
31, 2004 increased $238.4 million from the six months ended March 31, 2003,
partially offset by a decrease of $60.7 million in interest-bearing deposits in
other banks. Average total loans increased by $103.3 million. The average
balance of core deposits increased by $189.1 million and FHLB advances increased
by $79.9 million. The average balance of core deposits increased to 49.0% of
total average deposits for the six months ended March 31, 2004 from 42.4% for
the same period last year.

The net interest margin decreased to 3.94% for the six months ended March 31,
2004, from 4.06% 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.

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 $351,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004,
compared to $502,000 for the same period last year. The provision for the
quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 was principally comprised of a charge of
$500,000 and $518,000, respectively, due to increased credit risk resulting from
growth in the loan portfolio, primarily commercial real estate loans, partially
offset by a decrease of $155,000 and $27,000, respectively, due to changes in
the level of classified loans.

For the six months ended March 31, 2004, the provision for loan losses was
$799,000 compared to $953,000 for the same period last year. The provision for
the six months ended March 31, 2004 was principally comprised of a charge of
$849,000, due to increased credit risk resulting from growth in the loan
portfolio, primarily commercial real estate loans, partially offset by a
decrease in the level of classified loans. The provision for the six months
ended March 31, 2003 was principally comprised of a charge of $770,000 due to
increased credit risk resulting from growth in the loan portfolio, primarily
commercial real estate loans, $138,000 in net charge offs, and $45,000 due to
changes in the level of classified loans.

Nonperforming loans decreased to $1.9 million at March 31, 2004 from $2.6
million at March 31, 2003. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total
nonperforming loans increased to 884.36% at March 31, 2004 from 585.61% at March
31, 2003. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total net loans
decreased to .99% of loans as of March 31, 2004, from 1.01% of total net loans
for the same period last year.

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, 2004, compared to September 30, 2003. Furthermore, there was no reallocation
of the allowance from September 30, 2003. 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 $5.7 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2004, from $5.4 million for the same period last year. The increase was due
primarily to increases of $272,000 in insurance commissions and fees, $248,000
in gain on sale of debt securities, and $209,000 in other fees and service
charges, partially offset by a decrease of $449,000 in gain on sale of mortgage
loans.


15


Insurance commissions and fees were $884,000 and $612,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This increase was due
primarily to increased sales, primarily resulting from the purchase of an
additional insurance agency in March 2003. The gain on sale of debt securities
was primarily due to the sale of numerous small-dollar mortgage-backed
securities where a substantial portion of the principal had been repaid. Fees
and service charges (primarily from fees and service charges on deposit
products) were $3.5 million and $3.3 million for the quarters ended March 31,
2004 and 2003, respectively. This increase was due primarily to the growth in
transaction accounts. Gain on the sale of mortgage loans was $669,000 and $1.1
million for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This
decrease was due primarily to a decline in the originations of fixed rate
residential one-to-four family mortgage loans available for sale as a result of
a change in customer preference to adjustable rate loans. Total fixed rate
residential loan originations decreased by $14.5 million; however, adjustable
rate loan originations increased by $32.2 million compared to the same period
last year. The Company sells loans in order to reduce interest rate risk by
limiting the growth of long term fixed rate loans in the portfolio.

Other income increased to $11.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004,
compared to $10.8 million for the same period last year. This increase was due
primarily to increases of $442,000 in fees and service charges, $424,000 in
insurance commission and fees, $248,000 in gain on sale of debt securities, and
$172,000 in income from real estate operations, partially offset by a decrease
of $1.0 million in gain on sale of mortgage loans, principally residential fixed
rate mortgage loans. Fees and service charges (primarily from fees and service
charges on deposit products) were $6.9 million and $6.4 million for the six
months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This increase was due
primarily to the growth in transaction accounts. Insurance commissions and fees
were $1.6 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and
2003, respectively. This increase was due primarily to increased sales,
primarily resulting from the purchase of an additional insurance agency in March
2003. The gain on sale of debt securities was primarily due to the sale of
numerous small-dollar mortgage-backed securities where a substantial portion of
the principal had been repaid. Income from real estate operations were $257,000
and $85,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. This increase was
due primarily to gains on sales of real estate acquired in settlement of loans
through foreclosure. Gain on sale of mortgage loans was $1.4 million and $2.4
million for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This
decrease was due primarily to a decline in the originations of fixed rate
residential one-to-four family mortgage loans available for sale as a result of
a change in customer preference to adjustable rate loans. Total fixed rate
residential loan originations decreased by $36.7 million; however, adjustable
rate loan originations increased by $50.9 million compared to the same period
last year. The Company sells loans in order to reduce interest rate risk by
limiting the growth of long term fixed rate loans in the portfolio.

Other Expenses. Other expenses increased to $12.3 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2004, from $10.5 million for the same period last year, due primarily
to increases of $1.1 million in compensation and benefits, $267,000 in other
expenses, $228,000 in occupancy expense, and $121,000 in data processing
services. 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 primarily due to expenses incurred in closing the West
Melbourne branch in the Wal-Mart Supercenter and growth in branch operations.
The increases in other expenses and data processing services were due primarily
to increases resulting from the growth in loans and deposits.

For the six months ended March 31, 2004, other expenses increased to $23.8
million compared to $20.7 million for the same period last year. This increase
was due primarily to increases of $2.1 million in compensation and benefits,
$423,000 in occupancy expense, $262,000 in data processing services, and
$340,000 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



16


processing equipment expense and expenses incurred in closing the West Melbourne
branch in the Wal-Mart Supercenter. The increases in data processing services
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 (the "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. The Plan is part of a
multi-employer plan and separate actuarial evaluations are not made for each
employer nor are plan assets so segregated. As a result of the decline in market
value of the investments held in the Plan, the Company, based on actuarial
calculations, currently expects to be required to increase its pension
contribution to approximately $1.2 million for fiscal year 2004. The Company has
elected to freeze the Plan effective June 30, 2004 and, as a result, expects to
be required to contribute approximately $500,000 for fiscal year 2005. The
Company recorded pension expense of approximately $647,000 and $210,000 for the
six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased to $6.5 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2004, from $6.0 million for the same period last year due primarily to
an increase in pretax accounting income. The effective tax rates were 39.1% and
39.2% for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

For the six months ended March 31, 2004, income tax expense increased to $12.6
million from $12.0 million for the same period last year due primarily to an
increase in pretax accounting income. The effective tax rates were 39.1% and
39.2% for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Financial Condition

Comparisons of financial condition in this section are from the end of the
preceding fiscal year to March 31, 2004.

Total assets increased to $2.541 billion at March 31, 2004, from $2.352 billion
at the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. The increase is due primarily to an
increase in mortgage-backed securities and loans, partially offset by a decrease
in investment securities.

Investment securities available for sale decreased to $154.3 million at March
31, 2004, from $246.5 million at September 30, 2003. The decrease is due
primarily to maturities and calls of $60.0 million, sales of $51.1 million,
partially offset by purchases of $20.0 million.

Investment securities held to maturity decreased to $20.4 million at March 31,
2004 from $50.4 million at September 30, 2003. The decrease is due primarily to
maturities and calls of $30.0 million.

Mortgage-backed securities increased to $501.3 million at March 31, 2004, from
$308.1 million at September 30, 2003. The increase is due primarily to purchases
of $234.7 million of 5 and 7 year fixed-rate balloon securities, partially
offset by repayments of $35.9 million. The purchases were funded with proceeds
from maturities and calls of investment securities and excess cash provided by
the net increase in deposits. The Company's investment strategy has been to
shift the portfolio from lower yielding, shorter term investment securities into
higher yielding balloon mortgage-backed securities, with expected average lives
in the three to four year range. These securities will provide future monthly
principal and interest repayment cash flow to fund loan growth or other
investment alternatives.

Net loans increased to $1.713 billion at March 31, 2004, from $1.611 billion at
September 30, 2003. The increase is due primarily to loan disbursements of
$433.0 million, partially offset by repayments of $277.7 million, and sales of
mortgage loans of $53.3 million, primarily residential one-to-four family
fixed-rate mortgage loans. The increase in net loans for the six months is due
primarily to a net increase of $29.8 million in residential one-to-four mortgage




17


loans, $18.8 million in land loans, $34.8 million in nonresidential mortgage
loans, and $17.8 million in consumer loans.

Deposits increased to $1.691 billion at March 31, 2004, from $1.550 billion at
September 30, 2003. The increase is due primarily to a net increase in deposits
before interest credited of $126.2 million and interest credited of $14.7
million. The increase in deposits for the six months is due primarily to a net
increase of $131.1 million in core deposits, and $9.8 million in certificate
accounts. This change reflects the Company's emphasis on growing transaction
accounts, the customer's preference for shorter-term investments in a low
interest rate environment and growth in the Company's market area.

FHLB advances increased to $553.5 million from $503.5 million at March 31, 2004,
from September 30, 2003. The increase was due to $25.0 million in daily rate
advances and $25.0 million of new long-term fixed rate convertible advances,
callable quarterly, maturing in 2009. These advances were taken in order to fund
the purchase of mortgage-backed securities and other daily cash needs.

Stockholders' equity increased to $273.2 million at March 31, 2004, from $261.9
million at September 30, 2003. The increase is due primarily to $19.6 million of
earnings for the six months partially offset by $6.9 million of dividends paid
and the repurchase of $3.4 million of Company common stock to be held as
treasury stock. During the six months, the Company repurchased 120,381 shares at
an average price of $28.37 per share to be held as treasury stock in accordance
with the Company's stock repurchase program.

At March 31, 2004, 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 $ 38,009 1.50% $ 251,501 9.93% $ 213,492
Core Capital 76,019 3.00% 251,501 9.93% 175,482
Risk-Based Capital 109,576 8.00% 267,756 19.55% 158,180



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 $474.2 million at March 31, 2004 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, 2004, the Bank had $825.5 million or 48.8% 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 $21.3 million and $25.7 million for the six months
ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, 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 $181.0 million and $158.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004
and 2003, respectively. The increase in cash used in 2004 was principally due to
an increase of $224.4 million in the purchase of mortgage-backed securities, an
increase of $76.3 million in the net increase in loans, a $13.1 million decrease
in repayments of mortgage-backed securities, offset by a decrease of $150.6
million in the purchase of investment securities and a $139.7 million increase
in proceeds from sales, maturities and calls of investment 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
$170.3 million and $69.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and
2003, respectively. The increase in cash flows in 2004 was primarily due to a
$40.0 million increase in proceeds from short-term borrowings, $37.7 million
increase in the net increase in deposits, and $25.0 million increase in net

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:
