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 June 30, 2003 consolidated financial statements
have been reclassified in order to conform to the June 30, 2004 presentation.

At June 30, 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 nine months
ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. Adjustments have been made, 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 June 30,
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.

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 June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003.



10



The investment in impaired loans (primarily consisting of classified loans),
other than those evaluated collectively for impairment, was $5,179,000 and
$6,259,000 at June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 respectively.

At June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, loans with unpaid principal balances of
approximately $2,083,000 and $2,215,000, respectively, were 90 days or more
contractually delinquent or on nonaccrual status. As of June 30, 2004 and
September 30, 2003, approximately $1,644,000 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 $297,000 and
$1,266,000, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. For
the nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company recognized gains on
sale of mortgage loans of $1,707,000 and $3,698,000, 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, 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 upon reinvestment 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 $17,454,000 and $16,199,000 at June 30, 2004
and September 30, 2003, respectively. Impaired loans (primarily consisting of
classified loans), other than those evaluated collectively for impairment, were
$5,179,000 and $6,259,000 at June 30, 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 June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003.

Results of Operations

Comparisons of quarterly results of operations in this section are between the
three months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003. 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,
2004, increased 4.8% to 44 cents per share on net income of $10.3 million,
compared to 42 cents per share on net income of $9.6 million for the same period
last year. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended June 30, 2004,
increased 5.7% to $1.29 per share on net income of $29.9 million, compared to
$1.22 per share on net income of $28.2 million for the same period last year.
The increase for both the three and nine 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 supplemented by an
increase in other income and was partially offset by an increase in other
expenses.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased 12.2% to $24.4 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2004, from $21.7 million for the same period last
year. For the nine months ended June 30, 2004, net interest income increased
11.0% to $70.2 million from $63.3 million for the same period last year. The
increase for three and nine month periods was due primarily to a 14.9% and 14.3%
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 June
30, 2004 increased $335.6 million from the quarter ended June 30, 2003,
partially offset by a decrease of $174.4 million in investment securities and
$36.7 million in interest-bearing deposits in other banks. 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. Average total loans increased by $194.3 million. The average balance
of core deposits increased by $221.9 million and FHLB advances increased by
$91.4 million. The average deposit composition changed to 51.6% and 48.4% of
core deposits and certificate accounts, respectively, for the three months ended
June 30, 2004 from 44.5% and 55.5%, respectively, for the same period last year.





14


The average balance of mortgage-backed securities for the nine months ended June
30, 2004 increased $270.7 million from the nine months ended June 30, 2003, and
was partially offset by a decrease of $53.6 million in investment securities and
$52.7 million in interest-bearing deposits in other banks. Average total loans
increased by $133.5 million. The average balance of core deposits increased by
$200.0 million and FHLB advances increased by $83.7 million. The average balance
of core deposits increased to 49.9% of total average deposits for the nine
months ended June 30, 2004 from 43.2% for the same period last year.

The net interest margin decreased to 3.97% for the three months ended June 30,
2004 from 4.07% for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The net interest
margin decreased to 3.95% for the nine months ended June 30, 2004, from 4.06%
for the same period last year. The decrease for both the three and nine month
periods was 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 $503,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004,
compared to $659,000 for the same period last year. The provision for the
quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was principally comprised of a charge of
$607,000 and $647,000, respectively, due to increased credit risk resulting from
growth in the loan portfolio, primarily commercial real estate loans, partially
offset by a $113,000 decrease in the level of classified loans for the quarter
ended June 30, 2004.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2004, the provision for loan losses was $1.3
million compared to $1.6 million for the same period last year. The provision
for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 was principally comprised of a charge of
$1.5 million due to increased credit risk resulting from growth in the loan
portfolio, primarily commercial real estate loans, and $47,000 in net charge
offs, partially offset by a decrease of $200,000 in the level of classified
loans. The provision for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 was principally
comprised of a charge of $1.4 million due to increased credit risk resulting
from growth in the loan portfolio, primarily commercial real estate loans,
$141,000 in net charge offs, and $53,000 due to changes in the level of
classified loans.

Nonperforming loans decreased to $2.1 million at June 30, 2004 from $2.3 million
at June 30, 2003. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total
nonperforming loans increased to 838.13% at June 30, 2004 from 696.39% at June
30, 2003. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total net loans
decreased to .95% of loans as of June 30, 2004, from 1.01% of total net loans at
June 30, 2003.

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,
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 $7.0 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2004, from $5.8 million for the same period last year. The increase was due
primarily to increases of $990,000 and $360,000, respectively, in non-operating
gains on sale of equity securities and premises and equipment, and $777,000 in
fees and service charges, partially offset by a decrease of $969,000 in gain on
sale of mortgage loans.




15


Fees and service charges (primarily from fees and service charges on deposit
products) were $4.0 million and $3.2 million for the quarters ended June 30,
2004 and 2003, respectively. This increase was due primarily to the growth in
transaction accounts. Insurance commissions and fees were $923,000 and $860,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This increase
was due primarily to increased sales of insurance products. Gain on the sale of
mortgage loans was $297,000 and $1.3 million for the quarters ended June 30,
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 partly as a result of a change in customer preference to
adjustable rate loans. Total fixed rate residential loan originations decreased
by $4.2 million; however, adjustable rate loan originations increased by $83.4
million compared to the same quarter 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 $18.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004,
compared to $16.5 million for the same period last year. This increase was due
primarily to increases of $1.2 million in fees and service charges, $1.2 million
in gain on sale of securities, $487,000 in insurance commission and fees, and
$351,000 in gain on sale of premises and equipment, partially offset by a
decrease of $2.0 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 $10.9 million and $9.6
million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This
increase was due primarily to the growth in transaction accounts. Insurance
commissions and fees were $2.5 million and $2.0 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This increase was due primarily to
increased sales of insurance products. Gains on sale of securities included an
increase of $999,000 in gain on sale of equity securities and $248,000 in gains
on the sale of numerous small-dollar mortgage-backed securities where a
substantial portion of the principal had been repaid. Income from real estate
operations was $304,000 and $135,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 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
$1.7 million and $3.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 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
partly as a result of a change in customer preference to adjustable rate loans.
Total fixed rate residential loan originations decreased by $40.9 million;
however, adjustable rate loan originations increased by $134.4 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 $13.5 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2004, from $11.0 million for the same period last year, due primarily
to increases of $1.2 million in other expenses, $863,000 in compensation and
benefits, $222,000 in occupancy expense, and $128,000 in data processing
services. Other expense increased $1.2 million primarily due to the recognition
of a non-deductible excise tax assessed by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
of $873,000 related to an operational adjustment in the Company's Employee Stock
Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). The Company has recognized an expense for the proposed
IRS assessment but is contesting both its validity and the amount thereof. 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 expenses incurred in the opening of new
branches and an increase in data processing equipment expense. The increases in
data processing services and other expenses were due primarily to increases
resulting from the growth in loans and deposits.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2004, other expenses increased to $37.3
million compared to $31.8 million for the same period last year. This increase
was due primarily to increases of $3.0 million in compensation and benefits,
$645,000 in occupancy expense, $389,000 in data processing services, and $1.5
million 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.




16

The increase in occupancy expense was due primarily to expenses incurred in
opening of new branches, closing the West Melbourne Branch in the Wal-Mart
Supercenter, and an increase in data processing equipment expense. The increase
in data processing services was due primarily to increases resulting from the
growth in loans and deposits. The increase in other expense was due primarily to
the recognition of the $873,000 ESOP excise tax and 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, accruing no future benefits
for all employees. As a result, the Company expects to be required to contribute
approximately $500,000 for fiscal year 2005. The Company recorded pension
expense of approximately $1.1 million and $388,000 for the nine months ended
June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased to $7.1 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2004, from $6.2 million for the same period last year due primarily to
an increase in pretax accounting income. The effective tax rates were 40.8% and
39.3% for the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. For the nine
months ended June 30, 2004, income tax expense increased to $19.7 million from
$18.2 million for the same period last year due primarily to an increase in
pretax accounting income. The effective tax rates were 39.7% and 39.2% for the
nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in the tax
rate for the three and nine month periods was primarily due to the $873,000
non-deductible ESOP excise tax.

Financial Condition

Comparisons of financial condition in this section are from the end of the
preceding fiscal year to June 30, 2004.

Total assets increased to $2.592 billion at June 30, 2004, from $2.352 billion
at the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. The increase is due primarily to an
increase in loans and mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by a decrease
in investment securities.

Investment securities available for sale decreased to $139.1 million at June 30,
2004, from $246.5 million at September 30, 2003. The decrease is due primarily
to maturities and calls of $80.0 million and sales of $53.7 million, partially
offset by purchases of $30.0 million.

Investment securities held to maturity decreased to $439,000 at June 30, 2004
from $50.4 million at September 30, 2003. The decrease is due primarily to
maturities and calls of $50.0 million.

Mortgage-backed securities increased to $468.4 million at June 30, 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 $68.6 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.



17


Net loans increased to $1.832 billion at June 30, 2004, from $1.611 billion at
September 30, 2003. The increase is due primarily to loan disbursements of
$743.0 million, partially offset by repayments of $450.9 million, and sales of
mortgage loans of $71.1 million, primarily residential one-to-four family
fixed-rate mortgage loans. The increase in net loans for the nine months is due
primarily to a net increase of $82.7 million in residential one-to-four mortgage
loans, $54.2 million in nonresidential mortgage loans, $44.4 million in land
loans, $29.3 million in consumer loans, and $11.9 million in commercial business
loans.

Deposits increased to $1.740 billion at June 30, 2004, from $1.550 billion at
September 30, 2003. The increase is due primarily to a net increase in deposits
before interest credited of $174.4 million and interest credited of $15.0
million. The increase in deposits for the nine months is due primarily to a net
increase of $172.5 million in core deposits and $16.9 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 $544.5 million from $503.5 million at June 30, 2004,
from September 30, 2003. The increase was primarily due to $21.0 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 $277.8 million at June 30, 2004, from $261.9
million at September 30, 2003. The increase is due primarily to $29.9 million of
earnings for the nine months partially offset by $10.5 million of dividends
paid, the repurchase of $4.2 million of Company common stock to be held as
treasury stock, and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $3.4
million. During the nine months, the Company repurchased 147,539 shares at an
average price of $28.18 per share to be held as treasury stock in accordance
with the Company's stock repurchase program. The decrease in accumulated other
comprehensive income is attributable to $1.3 million, net of tax, of realized
gain on sale of investment securities and $2.1 million, net of tax, depreciation
of available for sale securities during the nine months, primarily as a result
of rising interest rates.

At June 30, 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 $ 38,850 1.50% $ 261,039 10.08% $ 222,189
Core Capital 77,701 3.00% 261,039 10.08% 183,338
Risk-Based Capital 119,325 8.00% 277,796 18.62% 158,471



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 $444.3 million at June 30, 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.



18


At June 30, 2004, the Bank had $832.7 million or 47.9% 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 flows from the Company's operating activities (I.e. cash items
affecting net income) was $33.2 million and $37.1 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Net cash flows from the Company's investing activities (I.e. cash flows from its
investment securities, mortgage-backed securities and loan portfolios) was
$238.2 million and $264.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 and
2003, respectively. The decrease in cash used in 2004 was principally due to a
decrease $240.6 million in the purchase of investment securities and an increase
of $111.6 million in proceeds from maturities, calls and sales of investment
securities, offset by an increase of $188.8 million in the net increase in loans
and an increase of $132.6 million in the purchase of mortgage-backed securities.

Net cash flows from the Company's financing activities (I.e. cash flows
primarily from net increases (decreases) in deposits and net FHLB advances) was
$212.0 million and $144.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 and
2003, respectively. The increase in cash flows in 2004 was primarily due to a
$62.9 million increase in the net increase in deposits and a $13.0 million
increase in the net proceeds from short-term borrowings, offset by a $10.0
increase in repayments of long-term debt.

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:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk and Asset
and Liability Management.

The Company's assets consist primarily of fixed-rate, variable rate and floating
rate loans and fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities. These assets are funded by
customer deposits and borrowings from the FHLB. Customer deposits are comprised
of non-maturity transaction accounts, passbook accounts and certificate
accounts. The Company believes that the non-maturity transaction accounts and
passbook accounts provide a stable source of funding even during periods of
rising interest rates. Historically, balances in these accounts have been
relatively insensitive to changes in interest rates. The Company also uses
long-term borrowings from the FHLB as a means of managing exposure to higher
interest rates.

As of June 30, 2004, the Company has divested substantially all equity security
investments and is no longer exposed to market risk associated with these
investments.

For a discussion of the Company's asset and liability management policies as
well as the potential impact of interest rate changes upon the market value of
the Company's portfolio equity, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended September 30, 2003.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Based on their evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Michael J.
Brown, Sr. and Chief Financial Officer, H. Michael Callahan, have concluded the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective, as of June 30, 2004,
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the
Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. During the last fiscal
quarter, there have been no changes in the internal control over financial
reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

There are various claims and lawsuits in which the Company is periodically
involved in the ordinary course of the Company's business. In the opinion of
management, no material loss is anticipated from any such pending claims or
lawsuits.

AMENDMENT TO THE
CHANGE IN CONTROL AND NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN J. HAL ROBERTS AND
HARBOR FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK



The Change in Control and Non-compete Agreement between J.
Hal Roberts and Harbor Federal Savings Bank is hereby amended as follows:


1. Amended Paragraphs to the Agreement to read as follows:


4.TERMINATION BENEFITS. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control, followed at any time during the term of this Agreement by the
voluntary or involuntary termination of the Executive's employment,
other than for Termination for Cause, the Bank and the company shall pay
the Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death, his beneficiary
or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, as severance pay or
liquidated damages, or both, a sum equal three times the sum of (i) the
Employee's base salary from the Employer during the 12-month period
immediately preceding the Date of Termination, plus (ii) the amount of
the bonuses received by the Employee from the Employer during the
12-month period immediately preceding the Date of Termination, plus
(iii) the cost to the Employer of all benefits to which the Employee was
entitled during the 12-month period immediately preceding the Date of
Termination. At the election of the Executive such payment may be made
in a lump sum or paid in equal monthly installments during the
thirty-six (36) months following the Executive's termination. In the
event that no election is made, payment to the Executive will be in
equal monthly installments.

(d) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs of this Section 4,
in no event shall the aggregate payments or benefits (excluding any
payments or benefits which occur solely as a result of terms requiring
acceleration in plans for stock related benefits such as stock options
or restricted stock) to be made or afforded to Executive under said
paragraphs (the "Terminations Benefits") constitute an "excess parachute
payment" under Section 280G of the code or any successor thereto, and in
order to avoid such a result Termination Benefits will be reduced, if
necessary, to an amount (the "Non-Triggering Amount"), the value of
which is one dollar ($1.00) less than an amount equal to three (3) times
Executive's "base amount", as determined in accordance with said Section
280G. The allocation of the reduction required hereby among the
Termination Benefits provided by the preceding paragraphs of this
Section 4 shall be determined by the Executive.

7.NON-COMPEITION AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION (a) During the
term of this Agreement, and for two (2) years after the date the
Executive is terminated by the Bank or Bancshares, whether voluntarily
or involuntarily, with or without cause, the Executive shall not
compete directly or indirectly in the Florida counties of St. Lucie,
Martin, Indian River, Brevard, Volusia or Okeechobee (collectively, the
"Counties") with any business then being conducted by the Bank or
Bancshares without their prior written consent. The term "compete"
means rendering any service by the Executive, whether as an employee,
director, consultant, independent contractor, partner, co-venturer or
investor (excluding any interest of the Executive through investment of
up to an aggregate of 10% in the equity or debt securities or
equivalent partnership interest of any person required to register
under Section 12(g) of the securities Exchange Act of 1934) to or on
behalf of any organization, including but not limited to any commercial
bank, savings bank, savings and loan association, credit union,
mortgage banking company, insurance company or brokerage firm,
conducting any business then competitive to that of the Bank or
Bancshares in the Counties.
