The Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. ITEM 1. BUSINESS General Harris Preferred Capital Corporation is a Maryland Corporation incorporated on September 24, 1997, pursuant to the Maryland General Corporation Law. The Company's principal business objective is to acquire, hold, finance and manage qualifying real estate investment trust ("REIT") assets (the "Mortgage Assets"), consisting of a limited recourse note or notes (the "Notes") issued by Harris Trust and Savings Bank (the "Bank") secured by real estate mortgage assets (the "Securing Mortgage Loans") and other obligations secured by real property, as well as certain other qualifying REIT assets. The Company's assets are held in a Maryland real estate investment trust subsidiary, Harris Preferred Capital Trust. The Company has elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), and will generally not be subject to federal income tax if it distributes 90% (95% for years prior to January 1, 2001) of its adjusted REIT ordinary taxable income and meets all of the qualifications necessary to be a REIT. All of the shares of the Company's common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), are owned by Harris Capital Holdings, Inc. ("HCH"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. The Company was formed by the Bank to provide investors with the opportunity to invest in residential mortgages and other real estate assets and to provide the Bank with a cost-effective means of raising capital for federal regulatory purposes. On February 11, 1998, the Company through a public offering (the "Offering") issued 10,000,000 shares of its 7 3/8% Noncumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Preferred Shares"), $1.00 par value. The Offering raised $250 million less $7.9 million of underwriting fees. The Preferred Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "HBC Pr A". Holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, if declared by the Company's Board of Directors, noncumulative dividends at a rate of 7 3/8 per annum of the $25 per share liquidation preference (an amount equivalent to $1.8438 per share per annum). Dividends on the Preferred Shares, if authorized and declared, are payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year. Except upon the occurrence of certain events, the Preferred Shares are not redeemable by the Company prior to March 30, 2003. On or after such date, the Preferred Shares may be redeemed for cash at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the principal amount thereof, plus the quarterly accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, thereon. The Company may not redeem the Preferred Shares without prior approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the appropriate successor federal regulatory agency. 2 Each Preferred Share will be automatically exchanged for one newly issued Bank Preferred Share in the event (i) the Bank becomes less than "adequately capitalized" under regulations established pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, as amended, (ii) the Bank is placed into conservatorship or receivership, (iii) the Board of Governors directs such exchange in writing because, in its sole discretion and even if the Bank is not less than "adequately capitalized," the Board of Governors anticipates that the Bank may become less than adequately capitalized in the near term, or (iv) the Board of Governors in its sole discretion directs in writing an exchange in the event that the Bank has a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 5%. In the event of an exchange, the Bank Preferred Shares would constitute a new series of preferred shares of the Bank, would have the same dividend rights, liquidation preference, redemption options and other attributes as the Preferred Shares, except that the Bank Preferred Shares would not be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and would rank pari passu in terms of cash dividend payments and liquidation preference with any outstanding shares of preferred stock of the Bank. Concurrent with the issuance of the Preferred Shares, the Bank contributed additional capital of $241 million, net of acquisition costs, to the Company. The Company and the Bank undertook the Offering for two principal reasons: (i) the qualification of the Preferred Shares as Tier 1 capital of the Bank for U.S. banking regulatory purposes under relevant regulatory capital guidelines, as a result of the treatment of the Preferred Shares as a minority interest in a consolidated subsidiary of the Bank, and (ii) lack of federal income tax on the Company's earnings used to pay the dividends on the Preferred Shares, as a result of the Company's qualification as a REIT. On December 30, 1998, the Bank contributed the common stock of the Company to HCH, a newly-formed and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. The Bank is required to maintain direct or indirect ownership of at least 80% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company for as long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding. At December 31, 2002, the Bank indirectly owned 100% of the Common Stock of the Company. The Company used the Offering proceeds and the additional capital contributed by the Bank to purchase $356 million of notes (the "Notes") from the Bank and $135 million of mortgage-backed securities at their estimated fair value. The Notes are obligations issued by the Bank that are recourse only to the underlying mortgage loans (the "Securing Mortgage Loans") and were acquired pursuant to the terms of a loan agreement with the Bank. The principal amount of the Notes equals approximately 80% of the principal amounts of the Securing Mortgage Loans. Business The Company was formed for the purpose of raising capital for the Bank. One of the Company's principal business objectives is to acquire, hold, finance and manage Mortgage Assets. These Mortgage Assets generate interest income for distribution to stockholders. A portion of the Mortgage Assets of the Company consists of Notes issued by the Bank that are recourse only to Securing Mortgage Loans that are secured by real property. The Notes mature on October 1, 2027 and pay interest at 6.4% per annum. Payments of interest are made to the Company from payments made on the Securing Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to an agreement between the Company and the Bank, the Company, through the Bank as agent, receives all scheduled payments made on the Securing Mortgage Loans, retains a portion of any such payments equal to the amount due on the Notes and remits the balance, if any, to the Bank. The Company also retains approximately 80% of any prepayments of principal in respect of the Securing Mortgage Loans and applies such amounts as a prepayment on the Notes. The Company has a security interest in the real property securing the Securing Mortgage Loans and will be entitled to enforce payment on the loans in its own name if a mortgagor should default. In the event of such default, the Company would have the same rights as the original mortgagee to foreclose the mortgaged property and satisfy the obligations of the Bank out of the proceeds. The Company may from time to time acquire fixed-rate or variable-rate mortgage-backed securities representing interests in pools of mortgage loans. The Bank may have originated a portion of any such mortgage-backed securities by exchanging pools of mortgage loans for the mortgage-backed securities. The mortgage loans underlying the mortgage-backed securities will be secured by single-family residential properties located throughout the United States. The Company intends to acquire only investment grade mortgage-backed securities issued by agencies of the federal government or government sponsored agencies, 3 such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"). The Company does not intend to acquire any interest-only, principal-only or similar speculative mortgage-backed securities. The Bank may from time to time acquire or originate both conforming and nonconforming residential mortgage loans. Conventional conforming residential mortgage loans comply with the requirements for inclusion in a loan guarantee program sponsored by either FHLMC or Fannie Mae. Nonconforming residential mortgage loans are residential mortgage loans that do not qualify in one or more respects for purchase by Fannie Mae or FHLMC under their standard programs. The nonconforming residential mortgage loans that the Company purchases will be nonconforming because they have original principal balances which exceed the limits for FHLMC or Fannie Mae under their standard programs. The Company believes that all residential mortgage loans will meet the requirements for sale to national private mortgage conduit programs or other investors in the secondary mortgage market. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and for each of the years then ended, the Company did not directly hold any residential mortgage loans. The Company may from time to time acquire commercial mortgage loans secured by industrial and warehouse properties, recreational facilities, office buildings, retail space and shopping malls, hotels and motels, hospitals, nursing homes or senior living centers. The Company's current policy is not to acquire any interest in a commercial mortgage loan if commercial mortgage loans would constitute more than 5% of the Company's Mortgage Assets at the time of its acquisition. Unlike residential mortgage loans, commercial mortgage loans generally lack standardized terms. Commercial real estate properties themselves tend to be unique and are more difficult to value than residential real estate properties. Commercial mortgage loans may also not be fully amortizing, meaning that they may have a significant principal balance or "balloon" payment due on maturity. Moreover, commercial properties, particularly industrial and warehouse properties, are generally subject to relatively greater environmental risks than non-commercial properties, generally giving rise to increased costs of compliance with environmental laws and regulations. There is no requirement regarding the percentage of any commercial real estate property that must be leased at the time the Bank acquires a commercial mortgage loan secured by such commercial real estate property, and there is no requirement that commercial mortgage loans have third party guarantees. The credit quality of a commercial mortgage loan may depend on, among other factors, the existence and structure of underlying leases, the physical condition of the property (including whether any maintenance has been deferred), the creditworthiness of tenants, the historical and anticipated level of vacancies and rents on the property and on other comparable properties located in the same region, potential or existing environmental risks, the availability of credit to refinance the commercial mortgage loan at or prior to maturity and the local and regional economic climate in general. Foreclosures of defaulted commercial mortgage loans are generally subject to a number of complicated factors, including environmental considerations, which are generally not present in foreclosures of residential mortgage loans. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and for each of the years then ended, the Company did not hold any commercial mortgage loans. The Company may invest in assets eligible to be held by REITs other than those described above. In addition to commercial mortgage loans and mortgage loans secured by multi-family properties, such assets could include cash, cash equivalents and securities, including shares or interests in other REITs and partnership interests. At December 31, 2002 the Company held $20 million of short-term money market assets and $80 million of U.S. Treasury securities. At December 31, 2001 the Company held $21 million of short-term money market assets and $85 million of U.S. Treasury securities. The Company intends to continue to acquire Mortgage Assets from the Bank and/or affiliates of the Bank on terms that are comparable to those that could be obtained by the Company if such Mortgage Assets were purchased from unrelated third parties. The Company may also from time to time acquire Mortgage Assets from unrelated third parties. The Company intends to maintain a substantial portion of its portfolio in Bank-secured obligations and mortgage-backed securities. The Company may, however, invest in other assets eligible to be held by a REIT. The Company's current policy and the Servicing Agreement (defined below) prohibit the acquisition of any 4 Mortgage Asset constituting an interest in a mortgage loan (other than an interest resulting from the acquisition of mortgage-backed securities), which mortgage loan (i) is delinquent (more than 30 days past due) in the payment of principal or interest at the time of proposed acquisition; (ii) is or was at any time during the preceding 12 months (a) on nonaccrual status or (b) renegotiated due to financial deterioration of the borrower; or (iii) has been, more than once during the preceding 12 months, more than 30 days past due in payment of principal or interest. Loans that are on "nonaccrual status" are generally loans that are past due 90 days or more in principal or interest. The Company maintains a policy of disposing of any mortgage loan which (i) falls into nonaccrual status, (ii) has to be renegotiated due to the financial deterioration of the borrower, or (iii) is more than 30 days past due in the payment of principal or interest more than once in any 12 month period. The Company may choose, at any time subsequent to its acquisition of any Mortgage Assets, to require the Bank (as part of the Servicing Agreement) to dispose of the mortgage loans for any of these reasons or for any other reason. The Bank services the Securing Mortgage Loans and the other mortgage loans purchased by the Company on behalf of, and as agent for, the Company and is entitled to receive fees in connection with the servicing thereof pursuant to the servicing agreement (the "Servicing Agreement"). The Bank receives a fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the principal balances of the loans serviced. Payment of such fees is subordinate to payments of dividends on the Preferred Shares. The Servicing Agreement requires the Bank to service the loans in a manner generally consistent with accepted secondary market practices, with any servicing guidelines promulgated by the Company and, in the case of residential mortgage loans, with Fannie Mae and FHLMC guidelines and procedures. The Servicing Agreement requires the Bank to service the loans solely with a view toward the interest of the Company and without regard to the interest of the Bank or any of its affiliates. The Bank will collect and remit principal and interest payments, administer mortgage escrow accounts, submit and pursue insurance claims and initiate and supervise foreclosure proceedings on the loans it services. The Bank may, with the approval of a majority of the Company's Board of Directors, as well as a majority of the Company's Independent Directors, subcontract all or a portion of its obligations under the Servicing Agreement to unrelated third parties. An "Independent Director" is a director who is not a current officer or employee of the Company or a current director, officer or employee of the Bank or of its affiliates. The Bank will not, in connection with the subcontracting of any of its obligations under the Servicing Agreement, be discharged or relieved in any respect from its obligations under the Servicing Agreement. The Company may terminate the Servicing Agreement upon the occurrence of such events as they relate to the Bank's proper and timely performance of its duties and obligations under the Servicing Agreement. As long as any Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the Company may not terminate, or elect to renew, the Servicing Agreement without the approval of a majority of the Company's Independent Directors. The Company entered into an advisory agreement with the Bank (the "Advisory Agreement") pursuant to which the Bank administers the day-to-day operations of the Company. The Bank is responsible for (i) monitoring the credit quality of Mortgage Assets held by the Company, (ii) advising the Company with respect to the reinvestment of income from and payments on, and with respect to the acquisition, management, financing and disposition of the Mortgage Assets held by the Company, and (iii) monitoring the Company's compliance with the requirements necessary to qualify as a REIT, and other financial and tax- related matters. The Bank may from time to time subcontract all or a portion of its obligations under the Advisory Agreement to one or more of its affiliates. The Bank may, with the approval of a majority of the Company's Board of Directors, as well as a majority of the Company's Independent Directors, subcontract all or a portion of its obligations under the Advisory Agreement to unrelated third parties. The Bank will not, in connection with the subcontracting of any of its obligations under the Advisory Agreement, be discharged or relieved in any respect from its obligations under the Advisory Agreement. The Advisory Agreement is renewed annually. The Company may terminate the Advisory Agreement at any time upon 60 days' prior written notice. As long as any Preferred Shares remain outstanding, any decision by the Company either to renew the Advisory Agreement or to terminate the Advisory Agreement must be approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, as well as by a majority of the Company's Independent Directors. The Advisory Agreements in effect in 2002, 2001 and 2000 entitled the Bank to receive advisory fees of $43,000, $35,000, and $57,000 respectively. In 2003, advisory fees are estimated to be $45,000. 5 The Company may from time to time purchase additional Mortgage Assets out of proceeds received in connection with the repayment or disposition of Mortgage Assets, the issuance of additional shares of Preferred Stock or additional capital contributions with respect to the Common Stock. The Company may also issue additional series of Preferred Stock. However, the Company may not issue additional shares of Preferred Stock senior to the Series A Preferred Shares either in the payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets on liquidation without the consent of holders of at least 67% of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at that time or without approval of a majority of the Company's Independent Directors. The Company does not currently intend to issue any additional shares of Preferred Stock unless it simultaneously receives additional capital contributions from HCH or other affiliates sufficient to support the issuance of such additional shares of Preferred Stock. Although the Company does not currently intend to incur any indebtedness in connection with the acquisition and holding of Mortgage Assets, the Company may do so at any time (although indebtedness in excess of 25% of the Company's total stockholders' equity may not be incurred without the approval of a majority of the Company's Independent Directors). To the extent the Company were to change its policy with respect to the incurrence of indebtedness, the Company would be subject to risks associated with leverage, including, without limitation, changes in interest rates and prepayment risk. Employees As of December 31, 2002, the Company had no employees paid directly by the Company. All officers of the Company were employed by the Bank. Environmental Matters In the event that the Company is forced to foreclose on a defaulted Securing Mortgage Loan to recover its investment in such loan, the Company may be subject to environmental liabilities in connection with the underlying real property, which could exceed the value of the real property. Although the Company intends to exercise due diligence to discover potential environmental liabilities prior to the acquisition of any property through foreclosure, hazardous substances or wastes, contaminants, pollutants or sources thereof (as defined by state and federal laws and regulations) may be discovered on properties during the Company's ownership or after a sale thereof to a third party. If such hazardous substances are discovered on a property which the Company has acquired through foreclosure or otherwise, the Company may be required to remove those substances and clean up the property. There can be no assurance that in such a case the Company would not incur full recourse liability for the entire costs of any removal and clean-up, that the cost of such removal and clean-up would not exceed the value of the property or that the Company could recoup any of such costs from any third party. The Company may also be liable to tenants and other users of neighboring properties. In addition, the Company may find it difficult or impossible to sell the property prior to or following any such clean-up. The Company has not foreclosed on any Securing Mortgage Loans. Qualification as a REIT The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1998 and intends to comply with the provisions of the Code with respect thereto. The Company will not be subject to Federal income tax to the extent it distributes 90% (95% for years prior to January 1, 2001) of its adjusted REIT ordinary taxable income to stockholders and as long as certain assets, income and stock ownership tests are met. For 2002 as well as 2001 the Company met all Code requirements for a REIT, including the asset, income, stock ownership and distribution tests. Cash distributions in the amount of $1.8438 cents per Preferred Share were paid in 2002 and 2001. A cash dividend on common stock of $3.1 million was declared on December 4, 2002 to the stockholder of record on December 15, 2002 and paid on December 27, 2002. A cash dividend on common stock of $14.3 million was declared on December 4, 2001 to the stockholder of record on December 15, 2001 and paid on December 31, 2001. In addition, on September 12, 2002 and 2001 the Company paid a cash dividend of $130 thousand and $346 thousand, respectively, on the outstanding common shares to the stockholder of record on September 4, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These dividends were paid on the Company's 2001 and 2000 earnings. 6 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES None as of December 31, 2002. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is not currently involved in any material litigation nor, to the Company's knowledge is any material litigation currently threatened against the Company, the Bank or any affiliate of the Bank other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. See Note 8 to Financial Statements on page 31. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of 2002. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS HCH presently owns all 1,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, which are not listed or traded on any securities exchange. On December 4, 2002, the Company declared $3.1 million in cash dividends on common stock, which were paid in December 2002. On December 4, 2001, the Company declared $14.3 million in cash dividends on common stock, which were paid in December 2001. In addition, on September 12, 2002 and 2001, the Company paid a cash dividend of $130 thousand and $346 thousand, respectively, on the outstanding common shares to the stockholder of record on September 4, 2002, and September 4, 2001, respectively. These dividends were paid on the Company's 2001 and 2000 earnings. The Preferred Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "HBC Pr A". During 2002 and 2001, the Company declared and paid cash dividends to preferred stockholders of approximately $18.4 million in each year. Although the Company declared cash dividends on the Preferred Shares for 2002 and 2001, no assurances can be made as to the declaration of, or if declared, the amount of, future distributions since such distributions are subject to the Company's financial condition and capital needs; the impact of legislation and regulations as then in effect or as may be proposed; economic conditions; and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to remain qualified as a REIT, the Company must distribute annually at least 90% (95% for years prior to January 1, 2001) of its ordinary taxable income to preferred and /or common stockholders. 7 ITEM 6.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and notes thereto appearing later in this Report. SUMMARY YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 The Company's net income for 2002 was $22.1 million. This represented a $10.8 million or 33% decrease from 2001 net income of $32.9 million. Earnings decreased primarily because of reduced interest income on earning assets. In addition, gains on securities sales declined from $4.8 million in 2001 to $2.7 million in 2002. 8 Interest income on the Notes for 2002 totaled $2.8 million and yielded 6.4% on $43 million of average principal outstanding compared to $5.2 million and a 6.4% yield on $81 million average principal outstanding for 2001. The decrease in income was attributable to a reduction in the Note balance because of principal paydowns by customers in the Securing Mortgage Loans. The average outstanding balance of the Securing Mortgage Loans was $53 million for 2002 and $99 million for 2001. Interest income on securities available-for-sale for 2002 was $15.1 million, resulting in a yield of 4.9% on an average balance of $309 million compared to $21.9 million with a yield of 6.1% on an average balance of $363 million for 2001. The decrease in interest income on securities available-for-sale was primarily attributable to a reduction in yield. As securities matured or were sold, proceeds have been invested in lower yielding securities as a result of declining interest rates. Gains from investment securities sales were $2.7 million in 2002 and $4.8 million in 2001. There were no Company borrowings during either year. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002 totaled $488 thousand; a decrease of $90 thousand from the year ended December 31, 2001. Loan servicing expenses for 2002 totaled $131 thousand, a decrease of $112 thousand or 46% from 2001. This decrease was attributed to the reduction in the principal balance of the Notes because servicing costs vary directly with their balances. Advisory fees for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $43 thousand compared to $35 thousand for the same period a year ago. General and administrative expenses for the same period totaled $314 thousand, an increase of $14 thousand or 5 % from 2001, as a result of additional reporting and compliance costs. On December 30, 2002, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.46094 cents per share on the outstanding Preferred Shares to the stockholders of record on December 15, 2002 as declared on December 4, 2002. On December 30, 2001, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.46094 cents per share on the outstanding Preferred Shares to the stockholders of record on December 15, 2001 as declared on December 4, 2001. Annually the Company declared and paid $18.4 million of dividends to holders of Preferred Shares for both 2002 and 2001. A cash dividend on common stock of $3.1 million was declared on December 4, 2002 to the stockholder of record on December 15, 2002 and paid on December 27, 2002. A cash dividend on common stock of $14.3 million was declared on December 4, 2001 to the stockholder of record on December 15, 2001 and paid on December 31, 2001. In addition, on September 12, 2002 and September 12, 2001 the Company paid a cash dividend of $130 thousand and $346 thousand, respectively, on the outstanding common shares to the stockholder of record on September 4, 2002 and December 30, 2000, respectively. These dividends completed the Company's 2001 and 2000 REIT tax compliance requirements. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, there were no Securing Mortgage Loans on nonaccrual status and there was no allowance for loan losses. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 The Company's net income for 2001 was $32.9 million. This represented a $1.1 million or 3% increase from 2000 net income of $31.8 million. Interest income on the Notes for 2001 totaled $5.2 million and yielded 6.4% on $81 million of average principal outstanding compared to $7.8 million and a 6.4% yield on $122 million average principal outstanding for 2000. The decrease in income was attributable to a reduction in the Note balance because of customer payoffs in the Securing Mortgage Loans. The average outstanding balance of the Securing Mortgage Loans was $99 million for 2001 and $151 million for 2000. Interest income on securities available-for-sale for 2001 was $21.9 million, resulting in a yield of 6.1% on an average balance of $363 million compared to $22.6 million with a yield of 6.9% on an average balance of $328 million for 2000. The decrease in interest income on securities available-for-sale was primarily attributable to a reduction in yield, partially offset by growth in the investment portfolio. As securities matured or were sold, proceeds were invested in lower yielding securities as market interest rates declined. Gains from investment securities sales were $4.8 million in 2001 and $257 thousand in 2000. There were no Company borrowings during either year. 9 Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2001 totaled $578 thousand; a decrease of $142 thousand from the year ended December 31, 2000. Loan servicing expenses for 2001 totaled $243 thousand, a decrease of $130 thousand or 35% from 2000. This decrease was attributed to the reduction in the principal balance of the Notes. Advisory fees for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $35 thousand compared to $57 thousand in 2000. General and administrative expenses for the same period totaled $300 thousand, an increase of $10 thousand or 3% from 2000. QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 The Company's net income for the fourth quarter of 2002 was $4.7 million compared to $5.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2001. Earnings decreased primarily because of reduced interest income on earning assets. Fourth quarter 2002 interest income on the Notes totaled $550 thousand and yielded 6.4% on $34 million of average principal outstanding compared to interest income of $1.0 million and a 6.4% yield on $65 million average principal outstanding for the fourth quarter of 2001. The decrease in income was attributable to a reduction in the Note balance because of principal paydowns by customers in the Securing Mortgage Loans. The average outstanding balance of the Securing Mortgage Loans for the fourth quarter of 2002 and 2001 was $42 million and $79 million, respectively. Interest income on securities available-for-sale for the current quarter was $3.9 million resulting in a yield of 4.1% on an average balance of $379 million, compared to interest income of $4.3 million with a yield of 4.8% on an average balance of $363 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease in interest income is primarily attributable to the reduction in yield. As securities mature or are sold, proceeds have been invested in lower yielding securities because market interest rates have been declining. There were no Company borrowings during the fourth quarter of 2002 or 2001. Fourth quarter 2002 operating expenses totaled $175 thousand, a decrease of $23 thousand from the fourth quarter of 2001. Loan servicing expenses totaled $26 thousand, a decrease of $22 thousand or 46% from the prior year's fourth quarter, attributed to the reduction in the principal balance of the Notes, thereby reducing servicing fees payable to the Bank. Advisory fees for both 2002 and 2001 were $8 thousand. General and administrative expenses totaled $141 thousand in the current quarter, a decrease of $1 thousand from fourth quarter 2001. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The Company does not currently maintain an allowance for loan losses due to the over-collateralization of the Securing Mortgage Loans and the prior and expected credit performance of the collateral pool. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK A majority of the collateral underlying the Securing Mortgage Loans is located in Illinois and Arizona. The financial viability of customers in these states is, in part, dependent on the states' economies. The collateral may be subject to a greater risk of default than other comparable loans in the event of adverse economic, political or business developments or natural hazards that may affect such region and the ability of property owners in such region to make payments of principal and interest on the underlying mortgages. The Company's maximum risk of accounting loss, should all customers in Illinois and Arizona fail to perform according to contract terms and all collateral prove to be worthless, was approximately $26 million and $7 million, respectively at December 31, 2002 and $46 million and $12 million, respectively, at December 31, 2001. INTEREST RATE RISK The Company's income consists primarily of interest payments on the Mortgage Assets it holds. If there is a decline in interest rates during a period of time when the Company must reinvest receipts of interest and principal with respect to its Mortgage Assets, the Company may find it difficult to purchase additional Mortgage Assets that generate sufficient income to support payment of dividends on the Preferred Shares. 10 Because the rate at which dividends, if, when and as authorized and declared, are payable on the Preferred Shares is fixed, there can be no assurance that an interest rate environment in which there is a decline in interest rates would not adversely affect the Company's ability to pay dividends on the Preferred Shares. COMPETITION The Company does not engage in the business of originating mortgage loans. While the Company will acquire additional Mortgage Assets, it anticipates that such Mortgage Assets will be acquired from the Bank and affiliates of the Bank. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to compete with mortgage conduit programs, investment banking firms, savings and loan associations, banks, thrift and loan associations, finance companies, mortgage bankers or insurance companies in acquiring its Mortgage Assets. LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all of the Company's financial commitments. In managing liquidity, the Company takes into account various legal limitations placed on a REIT. The Company's principal liquidity needs are to maintain the current portfolio size through the acquisition of additional Notes or other qualifying assets and to pay dividends to its stockholders after satisfying obligations to creditors. The acquisition of additional Notes or other qualifying assets is funded with the proceeds obtained from repayment of principal balances by individual mortgages or maturities of securities held for sale on a reinvested basis. The payment of dividends on the Preferred Shares will be made from legally available funds, principally arising from operating activities of the Company. The Company's cash flows from operating activities principally consist of the collection of interest on the Notes and mortgage-backed securities. The Company does not have and does not anticipate having any material capital expenditures. In order to remain qualified as a REIT, the Company must distribute annually at least 90% (95% for years prior to January 1, 2001) of its adjusted REIT ordinary taxable income through 2002, as provided for under the Code, to its common and preferred stockholders. The Company currently expects to distribute dividends annually equal to 90% or more of its adjusted REIT ordinary taxable income. The Company anticipates that cash and cash equivalents on hand and the cash flow from the Notes and mortgage-backed securities will provide adequate liquidity for its operating, investing and financing needs including the capacity to continue preferred dividend payments on an uninterrupted basis. As presented in the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows, the primary sources of funds in addition to $19.4 million provided from operations during 2002 were $24.9 million provided by principal payments on the Notes and $822.3 million from the maturities and sales of securities available-for-sale. In 2001, the primary sources of funds other than from operations of $28.7 million were $47.0 million provided by principal payments on the Notes and $874.9 million from the maturities of securities available-for-sale. The primary uses of funds for 2002 were $848.2 million in purchases of securities available-for-sale and $18.4 and $3.2 million in preferred stock dividends and common stock dividends paid, respectively. In 2001 the primary uses of funds were $897.2 million in purchases of securities available-for-sale and $18.4 and $14.6 million in preferred stock dividends and common stock dividends paid, respectively. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on January 1, 2002. Under this standard, goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization while intangible assets with finite lives are amortized. Goodwill is periodically assessed for impairment, at least annually. The Company does not expect the implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. The Company adopted SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions -- an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9," on October 1, 2002. Under this 11 standard, most acquisitions of financial institutions are removed from the scope of SFAS No. 72 and Interpretation 9 and are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142. As such, unidentifiable intangible assets recognized and amortized in accordance with SFAS No. 72, "Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions," represent goodwill that is accounted for under SFAS No. 142. The Company does not expect the implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." The Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and requires that liabilities for those costs be recognized when the liability is incurred, as defined in Concepts Statement 6. It nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The Statement is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect the implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure -- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." The Statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation and requires additional disclosures in annual and interim financial statements. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. During the first quarter of 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 and elected the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. The Company does not expect the implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. OTHER MATTERS As of December 31, 2002, the Company believes that it is in full compliance with the REIT tax rules, and expects to qualify as a REIT under the provisions of the Code. The Company expects to meet all REIT requirements regarding the ownership of its stock and anticipates meeting the annual distribution requirements. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK As of December 31, 2002, the Company had $31 million invested in Notes, a decrease of $25 million from December 31, 2001, attributable to principal paydowns by customers in the Securing Mortgage Loans. At December 31, 2002, the Company holds $365 million in mortgage-backed securities compared to $320 million at December 31, 2001. At December 31, 2002 the Company holds $80 million in U.S. Treasuries compared to $85 million at December 31, 2001. At December 31, 2002, the Company holds an investment of $20 million in securities purchased from the Bank under agreement to resell compared to $21 million at December 31, 2001. The Company is subject to exposure for fluctuations in interest rates. Adverse changes in interest rates could impact negatively the value of mortgage-backed securities, as well as the levels of interest income to be derived from these assets. The Company's investments held in mortgage-backed securities are secured by adjustable and fixed interest rate residential mortgage loans. The yield to maturity on each security depends on, among other things, the price at which each such security is purchased, the rate and timing of principal payments (including prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations), the pass-through rate and interest rate fluctuations. Changes in interest rates could impact prepayment rates as well as default rates, which in turn would impact the value and yield to maturity of the Company's mortgage-backed securities. The Company currently has no outstanding borrowings. 12 ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA Refer to the Index to Financial Statements on page 21 for the required information. ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE There have been no changes in or disagreements with accountants on any matter of accounting principles, practices or financial statement disclosure.

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Harris Preferred Capital Corporation (the "Company") is a Maryland corporation whose principal business objective is to acquire, hold, finance and manage qualifying real estate investment trust ("REIT") assets (the "Mortgage Assets"), consisting of a limited recourse note or notes (the "Notes") issued by Harris Trust and Savings Bank (the "Bank") secured by real estate mortgage assets (the "Securing Mortgage Loans") and other obligations secured by real property, as well as certain other qualifying REIT assets. The Company holds its assets through a Maryland real estate investment trust subsidiary, Harris Preferred Capital Trust. The Company has elected to be a REIT under sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and will generally not be subject to Federal income tax to the extent that it meets all of the REIT requirements in the Internal Revenue Code Sections 856-860. All of the 1,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), are owned by Harris Capital Holdings, Inc. ("HCH"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. On December 30, 1998, the Bank transferred its ownership of the common stock of the Company to HCH. The Bank is required to maintain direct or indirect ownership of at least 80% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company for as long as any 7 3/8% Noncumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Preferred Shares"), $1.00 par value, is outstanding. The Company was formed by the Bank to provide investors with the opportunity to invest in residential mortgages and other real estate assets and to provide the Bank with a cost-effective means of raising capital for federal regulatory purposes. On February 11, 1998, the Company completed an initial public offering (the "Offering") of 10,000,000 shares of the Company's Preferred Shares, receiving proceeds of $242,125,000, net of underwriting fees. The Preferred Shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Concurrent with the issuance of the Preferred Shares, the Bank contributed additional capital of $250 million to the Company. The Company used the proceeds raised from the initial public offering of the Preferred Shares and the additional capital contributed by the Bank to purchase $356 million of Notes from the Bank and $135 million of mortgage-backed securities at their estimated fair value. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit with the Bank. ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for potential loan losses. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by net charge-offs. Known losses of principal on impaired loans are charged off. The provision for loan losses is based on past loss experience, management's evaluation of the loan portfolio securing the Mortgage Assets under current economic conditions and management's estimate of anticipated, but as yet not specifically identified, loan losses. Such estimates are reviewed periodically and adjustments, if necessary, are recorded during the periods in which they become known. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, no allowance for possible loan losses was recorded under this policy. INCOME TAXES The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1998 and intends to comply with the provisions of the Code with respect thereto. The Company does not expect to be subject to Federal income tax because assets, income distribution and stock ownership tests in Internal Revenue Code Sections 856-860 are met. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements. 27 The REIT Modernization Act, which took effect on January 1, 2001, modified certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with respect to the taxation of REITs. A key provision of this tax law change reduced the required level of distributions by a REIT from 95% to 90% of ordinary taxable income starting in calendar year 2001. SECURITIES The Company classifies all securities as available-for-sale, even if the Company has no current plans to divest. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Interest income on securities, including amortization of discount or premium, is included in earnings. Realized gains and losses, as a result of securities sales, are included in securities gains, with the cost of securities sold determined on the specific identification basis. The Company purchases U.S. Treasury and Federal agency securities from the Bank under agreements to resell identical securities. The amounts advanced under these agreements represent short-term loans and are reflected as receivables in the balance sheets. Securities purchased under agreement to resell totaled $20 million at December 31, 2002 compared to $21 million at December 31, 2001. The securities underlying the agreements are book-entry securities. Securities are transferred by appropriate entry into the Company's account with the Bank under a written custodial agreement with the Bank that explicitly recognizes the Company's interest in these securities. The Company's investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect the carrying value of investments in securities available-for-sale currently reported in the balance sheets. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on January 1, 2002. Under this standard, goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization while intangible assets with finite lives are amortized. Goodwill is periodically assessed for impairment, at least annually. The Company does not expect the implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. The Company adopted SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions -- an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9," on October 1, 2002. Under this standard, most acquisitions of financial institutions are removed from the scope of SFAS No. 72 and Interpretation 9 and are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142. As such, unidentifiable intangible assets recognized and amortized in accordance with SFAS No. 72, "Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions," represent goodwill that is accounted for under SFAS No. 142. The Company does not expect the implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." The Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and requires that liabilities for those costs be recognized when the liability is incurred, as defined in Concepts Statement 6. It nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The Statement is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does not expect the implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure -- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." The Statement provides 28 alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation and requires additional disclosures in annual and interim financial statements. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company does not expect the implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. MANAGEMENT'S ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3. NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM THE BANK On February 11, 1998, proceeds received from the Offering were used in part to purchase $356 million of Notes at a rate of 6.4%. The Notes are secured by mortgage loans originated by the Bank. The principal amount of the Notes equals approximately 80% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loans. During 2002, the Company received repayments on the Notes of $25 million compared to 2001 repayments of $47 million. For years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Bank paid interest on the Notes in the amount of $2.8 million, $5.2 million and $7.8 million, respectively, to the Company. The Notes are recourse only to the Securing Mortgage Loans that are secured by real property. The Notes mature on October 1, 2027. Payments of principal and interest on the Notes are recorded monthly from payments received on the Securing Mortgage Loans. The Company has a security interest in the real property securing the underlying mortgage loans and is entitled to enforce payment on the Securing Mortgage Loans in its own name if a mortgagor should default. In the event of default, the Company has the same rights as the original mortgagee to foreclose the mortgaged property and satisfy the obligations of the Bank out of the proceeds. The Securing Mortgage Loans are serviced by the Bank, as agent of the Company. The Company intends that each mortgage loan securing the Notes will represent a first lien position and will be originated in the ordinary course of the Bank's real estate lending activities based on the underwriting standards generally applied (at the time of origination) for the Bank's own account. The Company also intends that all Mortgage Assets held by the Company will meet market standards, and servicing guidelines promulgated by the Company, and Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") guidelines and procedures. The balance of Securing Mortgage Loans at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $39 million and $70 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on those loans at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was 6.930% and 7.611%, respectively. None of the Securing Mortgage Loans collateralizing the Notes were on nonaccrual status at December 31, 2002 or 2001. A majority of the collateral securing the underlying mortgage loans is located in Illinois and Arizona. The financial viability of customers in these states is, in part, dependent on those states' economies. The Company's maximum risk of accounting loss, should all customers in Illinois and Arizona fail to perform according to contract terms and all collateral prove to be worthless, was approximately $26 million and $7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2002 and $46 million and $12 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2001. 29 4.

The contractual maturities of the mortgage-backed securities exceed ten years. Expected maturities can differ from contractual maturities since borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. The U.S. Treasury Bills held at December 31, 2002 mature within the next twelve months. 5. COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK On February 11, 1998, the Company issued 10,000,000 Preferred Shares, Series A, at a price of $25 per share pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-11. Proceeds from this issuance, net of underwriting fees, totaled $242,125,000. The liquidation value of each Preferred Share is $25 plus any authorized, declared and unpaid dividends. Except upon the occurrence of certain events, the Preferred Shares are not redeemable by the Company prior to March 30, 2003. On or after such date, the Preferred Shares will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at the liquidation preference thereof, plus the quarterly accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to the date of redemption. The Company may not redeem the Preferred Shares without prior approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the appropriate successor federal regulatory agency. Except under certain limited circumstances, as defined, the holders of the Preferred Shares have no voting rights. The Preferred Shares are automatically exchangeable for a new series of preferred stock of the Bank upon the occurrence of certain events. Holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, noncumulative dividends at a rate of 7 3/8% per annum of the $25 per share liquidation preference (an amount equivalent to $1.84375 per share per annum). Dividends on the Preferred Shares, if authorized and declared, are payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30, and December 30 each year. Dividends paid to the holders of the Preferred Shares for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $18,438,000 in both years. The allocations of the distributions declared and paid for income tax purposes for December 31, 2002 and 2001 were 90% of ordinary income and 10% of long-term capital gain and 88% of ordinary income and 12% of long term capital gain, respectively. On December 30, 1998, the Bank contributed the Common Stock of the Company to HCH. The Bank is required to maintain direct or indirect ownership of at least 80% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company for as long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding. Dividends on Common Stock are paid if and when authorized and declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available after all preferred dividends have been paid. A Common Stock dividend of $3,090 per common share was declared on December 4, 2002, to the stockholder of record on December 15, 2002 and paid on December 27, 2002. The allocations of the distribution declared and paid for income tax purposes were 90% of ordinary income and 10% of long-term capital gain. A Common Stock dividend of $14,300 per common share was declared on December 4, 2001, to the stockholder of record on December 15, 2001 and paid on December 31, 2001. The allocations of the distribution declared and paid for income tax purposes were 88% of ordinary income and 12% of long-term capital gain. In addition, on September 12, 2002 and September 12, 2001, the Company paid a cash dividend of $130 thousand and $346 thousand, respectively, on the outstanding common shares to the stockholder of record on September 4, 2002 and September 4, 2001, respectively. These dividends were paid on the Company's 2001 and 2000 REIT ordinary taxable income. 30 6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES The Company entered into an advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with the Bank pursuant to which the Bank administers the day-to-day operations of the Company. The Bank is responsible for (i) monitoring the credit quality of Mortgage Assets held by the Company; (ii) advising the Company with respect to the reinvestment of income from and payments on, and with respect to the acquisition, management, financing, and disposition of the Mortgage Assets held by the Company; and (iii) monitoring the Company's compliance with the requirements necessary to qualify as a REIT. The Advisory Agreement in effect during 2002, 2001 and 2000 entitled the Bank to receive advisory fees of $43,000, $35,000 and $57,000, respectively. For 2003, advisory fees are estimated to be $45,000. The Securing Mortgage Loans are serviced by the Bank pursuant to the terms of a servicing agreement (the "Servicing Agreement"). The Bank receives a fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the principal balances of the loans serviced. The Servicing Agreement requires the Bank to service the mortgage loans in a manner generally consistent with accepted secondary market practices, and servicing guidelines promulgated by the Company and with Fannie Mae and FHLMC guidelines and procedures. In 2002, 2001 and 2000 the Bank received payments of $131 thousand, $243 thousand and $373 thousand, respectively. The Company purchases U.S. Treasury and Federal agency securities from the Bank under agreements to resell identical securities. At December 31, 2002, the Company held $20 million of such assets and had earned $2.1 million of interest from the Bank during 2002. At December 31, 2001 the Company held $21 million of such assets and earned $1.6 million of interest for 2001. At December 31, 2000, the Company held $3 thousand of such assets and earned $1.9 million of interest from the Bank. The Company receives rates on these assets comparable to the rates that the Bank offers to unrelated counterparties under similar circumstances. During 2002 and 2001, the Company acquired $253 million and $273 million, respectively, of GNMA and Fannie Mae securities at fair value from the Bank. During 2002 and 2001, the Company acquired $595 million and $624 million of U.S. Treasury securities at fair value from the Bank. 7. OPERATING SEGMENT The Company's operations consist of monitoring and evaluating the investments in Mortgage Assets. Accordingly, the Company operates in only one segment. The Company has no external customers and transacts most of its business with the Bank. 8.

The Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris Bankcorp, Inc., a multibank holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and headquartered in Chicago and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Harris Bankcorp, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankmont Financial Corp. ("Bankmont"). Harris Bankcorp, Inc. also owns 27 other banks, 26 in the counties surrounding Chicago and one in Arizona. On July 1, 2000, Bankmont contributed 100 percent of the common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Harris Bankmont, Inc., a Chicago metropolitan area multibank holding company, to Harris Bankcorp, Inc. Immediately thereafter, Harris Bankmont, Inc. was liquidated and dissolved into Harris Bankcorp, Inc. under the corporation law of Delaware. Harris Bankcorp, Inc. was the surviving corporation. The assets of Harris Bankmont, Inc. consisted primarily of the stock of its thirteen community banks. This combination was accounted for at historical cost, similar to a pooling of interests. Bankmont is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of Montreal. At December 31, 2002, Harris Bankcorp's assets amounted to $29.01 billion, with the Bank representing approximately 66 percent of that total. The Bank, an Illinois state-chartered bank has its principal office, 50 domestic branch offices and 101 automated teller machines located in the Chicago area. The Bank also has offices in Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles and San Francisco; a foreign branch office in Nassau; and an Edge Act subsidiary, Harris Bank International Corporation ("HBIC"), engaged in international banking and finance in New York. At December 31, 2002, the Bank had total assets of $19.03 billion, total deposits of $11.04 billion, total loans of $9.61 billion and equity capital of $1.58 billion. The Bank provides a broad range of banking and financial services to individuals and corporations domestically and abroad, including corporate banking, personal financial services, personal trust services and investment services. The Bank also offers (i) demand and time deposit accounts; (ii) various types of loans (including term, real estate, revolving credit facilities and lines of credit); (iii) sales and purchases of foreign currencies; (iv) interest rate management products (including swaps, forward rate agreements and interest rate guarantees); (v) cash management services; (vi) underwriting of municipal bonds; (vii) financial consulting; and (viii) a wide variety of personal trust and trust-related services. Competitors of the Bank include commercial banks, savings and loan associations, consumer and commercial finance companies, credit unions and other financial services companies. Based on legislation passed in 1986 that allows Illinois banks to be acquired by banks or holding companies in states with a reciprocal law in effect together with the Federal Interstate Banking Efficiency Act of 1994, that allows for both interstate banking and interstate branching in certain circumstances, the Bank believes that the level of competition will increase in the future. The Bank is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. As a state-chartered bank, it is also regulated by the Illinois Office of Banks and Real Estate. These regulatory bodies examine the Bank and supervise numerous aspects of its business. The Federal Reserve System regulates money and credit conditions and interest rates in order to influence general economic conditions, primarily through open market operations in U.S. Government securities, varying the discount rate on bank borrowings, setting reserve requirements against financial institution deposits and prescribing minimum capital requirements for member banks. These policies have a significant influence on overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and affect interest rates charged on loans and earned on investments or paid for time, savings and other deposits. Board of Governors monetary policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and this is expected to continue. Although primarily focusing on U.S. domestic customers, identifiable foreign assets accounted for 2.94 percent of the Bank's total consolidated assets at December 31, 2002 and foreign net income was approximately 5.37 percent of the Bank's consolidated net income for the year then ended. Foreign net income 33 is generated from three primary sources: (i) lending to foreign banks and other financial institutions; (ii) time deposits held in foreign banks; and (iii) foreign exchange trading profits of approximately $7.2 million. Corporate Trust Sale In March 2000, Bankcorp sold its corporate trust business. In separate and unrelated transactions, the indenture trust business was sold to a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Company, Inc., and the shareholder services business to Computershare Limited. The combined sales resulted in a pre-tax gain to Bankcorp of $47.0 million. The Bank recognized $45.6 million of that gain. The Bank does not believe that the sale of the corporate trust business will have a material impact on the results of operations for future periods. Merchant Card Sale In December 2000, the Bank sold its merchant card business to a credit card processing joint venture (Moneris) formed between Bank of Montreal and Royal Bank of Canada. The sale resulted in a pretax gain to the Bank of $60.2 million, which was eliminated in the consolidation of the Bank's results with Bank of Montreal. The Bank does not believe that the sale of the merchant card business will have a material impact on the results of operations for future periods. 34 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 2002 COMPARED TO 2001 Summary The Bank's 2002 net income was $171.8 million, up $89.6 million from 2001. Earnings comparability for 2002 and 2001 was affected by a third quarter 2001 special provision for loan losses of $121 million and a special pretax charge of $3.2 million in the fourth quarter 2001 relating to impairments in the value of certain equity investments. Excluding the effect of these special charges, earnings grew 6 percent over last year. This increase was attributable to continued strong business growth in consumer, mortgage and small business loans and retail deposits, and a reduction in the provision for loan losses and increased earnings from treasury activities. Return on average common equity ("ROE") for 2002 was 11.02 percent and 10.41 percent in 2001 excluding the special charges described above. Return on average assets ("ROA") was 0.95 percent in 2002 and 0.80 percent in 2001 excluding the special charges described above. Earnings before amortization of goodwill and other valuation intangibles ("cash earnings") were $181.4 million in 2002, a 3 percent increase compared to 2001, excluding the special charges described above. Cash return on average common stockholder's equity ("cash ROE") represents net income applicable to common stock plus after-tax amortization expense of goodwill and other valuation intangibles, divided by average common stockholder's equity less average intangible assets. Cash ROE was 13.32 percent in 2002 compared to 13.13 percent in 2001, excluding the special charges. For 2002, net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis of $465.2 million was down 5 percent from 2001. Net interest margin rose from 2.80 percent to 2.99 percent in 2002, reflecting the impact of a declining rate environment during the past year. Average earning assets declined $1.85 billion million or 11 percent to $15.58 billion in the current year, attributable to a decrease of $1.17 billion in investment securities and $799 million in average loans. Noninterest income increased $55.3 million to $512.5 million for 2002. Excluding the special $3.2 million writedown of equity securities in 2001, noninterest income increased 11 percent from 2001. Net gains from portfolio securities increased $25.9 million, service charge fees increased $19.8 million and trading profits decreased $9.3 million. Inter-corporate service charges increased $13.2 million. Trust and investment management fees decreased $6.0 million. Total noninterest expenses were $656.4 million, up $24.1 million or 4 percent from 2001. Income taxes were $67.3 million, up $57.1 million from 2001, reflecting substantially higher pretax income in 2002. The provision for loan losses was $71.2 million in 2002 compared to $203.5 million in 2001. Third quarter 2001 results included a $121 million special provision for loan losses. Net loan charge-offs during the current year were $91.6 million compared to $95.1 million in 2001 reflecting higher recoveries in the commercial loan portfolio. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2002 totaled $172 million, or 1.79 percent of total loans compared to $205 million or 2.05 percent a year earlier. At December 31, 2002, the allowance for possible loan losses was $207 million or 2.15 percent of total loans outstanding compared to $227 million or 2.28 percent of loans at the end of 2000. As a result, the ratio of the allowance for possible loan losses to nonperforming assets increased slightly from a multiple of 1.1 at December 31, 2001 to 1.2 at December 31, 2002. At December 31, 2002, the Bank's equity capital amounted to $1.58 billion, up slightly from $1.56 billion at December 31, 2001. Unrealized securities gains, net of tax, were $73.0 million at December 31, 2002 compared to $20.1 million at December 31, 2001. In February 1998, Harris Preferred Capital Corporation, a subsidiary of the Bank, issued $250 million of noncumulative preferred stock in a public offering (see Note 16 to Financial Statements). The preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital for U.S. banking regulatory purposes. The Bank's regulatory capital leverage ratio was 8.64 percent compared to 8.23 percent one year earlier. Regulators require most banking institutions to maintain capital leverage ratios of not less than 4.0 percent. At 35 December 31, 2002, the Bank's Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 10.19 percent and 12.50 percent, respectively, compared to respective ratios of 9.80 percent and 12.26 percent at December 31, 2001. The 2002 year-end risk-based capital ratios substantially exceeded minimum required regulatory ratios of 4.0 percent and 8.0 percent, respectively. 2001 COMPARED TO 2000 Summary The Bank's 2001 net income was $82.3 million, down $144.2 million, or 64 percent from 2000. Earnings comparability for 2001 and 2000 was affected by both the sale of the Bank's corporate trust business in first quarter 2000 and the sale of its merchant card business in December 2000. Excluding the effect of the $45.6 million pretax gain on sale of the corporate trust business and related charges, and the $60.2 million pretax gain from the sale of the merchant card business and related operating results, year 2000 earnings were $159.2 million. In addition, the Bank had special charges for 2001, a third quarter special provision for loan losses of $121 million and a special pretax charge of $3.2 million in the fourth quarter relating to impairments in the value of certain equity investments. Excluding the effect of these special charges and the impact of divested businesses, earnings were $167.1 million, representing an increase of 5 percent over 2000. This increase was attributable to continued strong business growth in consumer, mortgage and small business loans and retail deposits, and a more favorable interest rate environment that contributed to greater earnings from treasury and trading activities. These were largely offset by an increased loan loss provision associated with the impact of a weakened economy primarily on the Bank's corporate loan portfolio, and by expenses related to business growth and expansion. Excluding the special charges, gains and related operating results for businesses sold in 2000, return on average common equity ("ROE") for 2001 and 2000 was 10.72 percent and 12.04 percent, respectively. Excluding the special charges described above and gains and related operating results for businesses sold in 2000, return on average assets ("ROA") was 0.82 percent and 0.76 percent, respectively. Excluding the special charges described above and gains and related operating results for businesses sold in 2000, earnings before amortization of goodwill and other valuation intangibles ("cash earnings") were $181.3 million in 2001, a 5 percent increase compared to 2000. Cash return on average common stockholder's equity ("cash ROE") represents net income applicable to common stock plus after-tax amortization expense of goodwill and other valuation intangibles, divided by average common stockholder's equity less average intangible assets. Excluding the special charges described above and gains and related operating results for businesses sold in 2000, cash ROE was 13.49 percent in 2001 compared to 15.78 percent in 2000. For 2001, net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis of $487.5 million was up 10 percent from 2000. Net interest margin rose from 2.47 percent to 2.80 percent in 2001, reflecting the impact of a declining rate environment during 2001. Average earning assets declined $580 million or 3 percent to $17.43 billion in 2001, attributable to a decrease of 2 percent or $186 million in average loans and $532 million in investment securities. Noninterest income decreased $60.9 million to $457.2 million for 2001. Excluding the effect of the special items, gains and operating results from the corporate trust and merchant card businesses sold in 2000, noninterest income increased 20 percent from 2000. Net gains from sales of investment securities increased $20.6 million, trading profits increased $8.0 million and service charges on deposits increased $2.4 million. Inter-corporate service charges increased $32.4 million. Trust and investment management fees decreased $9.4 million and merchant and charge card fees declined $21.0 million, both declines resulting from divested businesses in 2000. Total noninterest expenses were $632.2 million, up $44.4 million or 8 percent from 2000. Excluding the expenses associated with businesses sold in 2000, noninterest expenses increased 13 percent, reflecting expansion initiatives in our retail, private client and corporate and investment banking businesses. Income taxes were $10.2 million, down $87.1 million from 2000, reflecting substantially lower pretax income in 2001. 36 The provision for loan losses was $203.5 million in 2001, including the $121 million special provision for loan losses in the third quarter 2001, compared to $29.7 million in 2000. Net loan charge-offs during 2001 were $95.1 million compared to $24.4 million in 2000 reflecting higher write-offs in the commercial loan portfolio. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2001 totaled $205 million, or 2.05 percent of total loans compared to $101 million or 0.94 percent at December 31, 2000. Most of the increase from December 31, 2000 is comprised of loans to corporate borrowers in different industry sectors experiencing the effects of a weakened economy. At December 31, 2001, the allowance for possible loan losses was $227 million or 2.28 percent of total loans outstanding compared to $119 million or 1.10 percent of loans at the end of 2000. As a result, the ratio of the allowance for possible loan losses to nonperforming assets declined slightly from a multiple of 1.2 at December 31, 2000 to 1.1 at December 31, 2001. At December 31, 2001, the Bank's equity capital amounted to $1.57 billion, up from $1.52 billion at December 31, 2000. Unrealized securities gains/(losses), net of tax, were $20.1 million at December 31, 2001 compared to ($11) million at December 31, 2000. In February 1998, Harris Preferred Capital Corporation, a subsidiary of the Bank, issued $250 million of noncumulative preferred stock in a public offering (see Note 16 to Financial Statements). The preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital for U.S. banking regulatory purposes. The Bank's regulatory capital leverage ratio was 8.23 percent compared to 7.40 percent one year earlier. Regulators require most banking institutions to maintain capital leverage ratios of not less than 4.0 percent. At December 31, 2001, the Bank's Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 9.80 percent and 12.26 percent, respectively, compared to respective ratios of 9.06 percent and 10.98 percent at December 31, 2000. The 2001 year-end risk-based capital ratios substantially exceeded minimum required regulatory ratios of 4.0 percent and 8.0 percent, respectively. 37 JOINT INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Board of Directors of Harris Trust and Savings Bank engaged the firms of KPMG LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as joint auditors for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2002. The Bank's ultimate parent company, Bank of Montreal ("BMO"), has elected to appoint two firms of independent public auditors to be auditors of BMO and all significant subsidiaries. The Bank's independent public auditors reflect the appointments made by BMO.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS Harris Trust and Savings Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris Bankcorp, Inc. ("Bankcorp"), a Delaware corporation which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankmont Financial Corp. ("Bankmont"), a Delaware corporation which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of Montreal ("BMO"). Throughout these Notes to Financial Statements, the term "Bank" refers to Harris Trust and Savings Bank and subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications were made to conform prior years' financial statements to the current year's presentation. See Note 22 to the Financial Statements for additional information on business combinations and Note 23 for additional information on related party transactions. The Bank provides banking, trust and other services domestically and internationally through the main banking facility, 6 active nonbank subsidiaries and an Edge Act subsidiary, Harris Bank International Corporation ("HBIC"), in New York. The Bank provides a variety of financial services to commercial and industrial companies, financial institutions, governmental units, not-for-profit organizations and individuals throughout the U.S., primarily the Midwest, and abroad. Services rendered and products sold to customers include demand and time deposit accounts and certificates; various types of loans; sales and purchases of foreign currencies; interest rate management products; cash management services; underwriting of municipal bonds; and financial consulting. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to practices within the banking industry. FOREIGN CURRENCY AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies have been translated into United States dollars at respective year-end rates of exchange. Monthly translation gains or losses are computed at rates prevailing at month-end. There were no material translation gains or losses during any of the years presented. Foreign exchange trading positions including spot, forward, futures, option contracts and swaps are revalued monthly using prevailing market rates. Exchange adjustments are included with foreign exchange income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Bank uses various interest rate, foreign exchange, equity and commodity derivative contracts in the management of its risk strategy or as part of its dealer and trading activities. Interest rate contracts include futures, forwards, forward rate agreements, option contracts, caps, floors, collars and swaps. Foreign exchange contracts include spot, futures, forwards, option contracts and swaps. Equity contracts include option contracts and swaps. Commodity contracts include swaps. All derivative instruments are recognized at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. All derivative instruments are designated either as hedges or as held for trading or non-hedging purposes. Derivative instruments that are used in the management of the Bank's risk strategy may qualify for hedge accounting if the derivatives are designated as hedges and applicable hedge criteria are met. On the date that the Bank enters into a derivative contract, it designates the derivative as a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows that are to be received or paid in connection with a recognized asset or liability, a 44 foreign currency fair value or cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective (as defined) and qualifies as a fair value hedge, along with changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item, are recorded in current period earnings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective (as defined) and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, to the extent that the hedge is effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income only until earnings are recognized from the underlying hedged item. Net gains or losses resulting from hedge ineffectiveness are recorded in current period earnings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective (as defined) and qualifies as a foreign currency hedge are recorded in either current period earnings or other comprehensive income depending on whether the hedging relationship meets the criteria for a fair value or cash flow hedge. The Bank formally documents all hedging relationships at inception of hedge transactions. The process includes documenting the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction and identifying the specific derivative instrument and the specific underlying asset, liability, firm commitment or forecasted transaction. The Bank formally assesses, both at inception and on an ongoing quarterly basis, whether the derivative hedging instruments have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged items and whether the derivatives are expected to remain highly effective in future periods. Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the Bank determines that the hedge is no longer highly effective, the derivative instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur, the hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, or the designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate. When hedge accounting is discontinued because a fair value hedge is no longer highly effective, the derivative instrument will continue to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value but the underlying hedged item will no longer be adjusted for changes in fair value. When hedge accounting is discontinued because the hedged item in a fair value hedge no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, the derivative instrument will continue to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and any asset or liability that was recorded to recognize the firm commitment will be removed from the balance sheet and recognized as a gain or loss in current period earnings. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction in a cash flow hedge will occur, the gain or loss on the derivative that was in accumulated other comprehensive income will be recognized immediately in earnings and the derivative instrument will be marked to market through earnings. When hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the derivative may be redesignated as a hedging instrument as long as the applicable hedge criteria are met under the terms of the new contract. Derivative instruments that are entered into for risk management purposes and do not otherwise qualify for hedge accounting are marked to market and the resulting unrealized gains and losses are recognized in noninterest income in the period of change. Derivative instruments that are used as part of the Bank's dealer and trading activities are marked to market and the resulting unrealized gains and losses are recognized in noninterest income in the period of change. IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on January 1, 2002. Under this standard, goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization while intangible assets with finite lives are amortized. Goodwill is periodically assessed for impairment, at least annually. The Bank adopted SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions -- an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9," on October 1, 2002. Under this standard, 45 most acquisitions of financial institutions are removed from the scope of SFAS No. 72 and Interpretation 9 and are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142. As such, unidentifiable intangible assets recognized and amortized in accordance with SFAS No. 72, "Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions," represent goodwill that will be accounted for under SFAS No. 142. At adoption date, the Bank had an unidentifiable intangible asset that, in accordance with SFAS No. 72, was excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 142 and continued to be amortized through third quarter 2002. Upon adoption of the Statement, the unidentifiable intangible asset was reclassified to goodwill and no longer amortized starting in fourth quarter 2002. Under the transitional requirements of the Statement, the first three quarters of 2002 were restated to reflect the reversal of previously amortized goodwill in those quarters. The earnings impact for each of these three quarters was $2.35 million pretax ($1.4 million after tax). In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." The Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and requires that liabilities for those costs be recognized when the liability is incurred, as defined in Concepts Statement 6. It nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The Statement is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Bank does not expect the implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -- Transition and Disclosure -- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." The Statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation and requires additional disclosures in annual and interim financial statements. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. During the first quarter of 1996, the Bank adopted SFAS No. 123 and elected the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. The Bank does not expect the implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations. The Bank adopted FASB Interpretation No. 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" ("FIN 45") issued on November 25, 2002. FIN 45 expands existing disclosure requirements at December 31, 2002 for guarantees and provides initial recognition and measurement provisions to be applied on a prospective basis for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. Management has evaluated the effect of adopting FIN 45 and has determined that the effect on the financial position and results of operations of the Bank is not material. In January 2003, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"). This Interpretation changes the method of determining whether certain entities, including securitization entities, should be consolidated in the Corporation's financial statements. An entity is subject to FIN 46 and is called a variable interest entity ("VIE") if it has (1) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (2) equity investors that cannot make decisions about the entity's operations, or that do not absorb the expected losses or receive the expected returns of the entity. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party involved with the VIE that has a majority interest in the expected losses or the expected residual returns or both. The Bank does not have an interest in a VIE and is not subject to the provisions of FIN 46. SECURITIES The Bank classifies securities as either trading account assets or available-for-sale. Trading account assets include securities acquired as part of trading activities and are typically purchased with the expectation of 46 near-term profit. These assets consist primarily of municipal bonds and U.S. government securities. All other securities are classified as available-for-sale, even if the Bank has no current plans to divest. Trading account assets are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in trading account income, which also includes realized gains and losses from closing such positions. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included, on an after-tax basis, in a separate component of stockholder's equity. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Realized gains and losses, as a result of securities sales, are included in securities gains, with the cost of securities sold determined on the specific identification basis. LOANS, LOAN FEES AND COMMITMENT FEES Loans not held for sale are recorded at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income, deferred fees and origination costs. For fair value hedges that are highly effective, loans designated as the underlying hedged items are recorded net of changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risks. Origination fees collected on commercial loans, loan commitments, mortgage loans and standby letters of credit, that are not held for sale, are generally deferred and amortized over the life of the related facility. Other loan-related fees that are not the equivalent of yield adjustments are recognized as income when received or earned. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Bank's Consolidated Statements of Condition included approximately $15 million and $18 million, respectively, of deferred loan-related fees net of deferred origination costs. In conjunction with its mortgage and commercial banking activities, the Bank will originate loans with the intention of selling them in the secondary market. These loans are classified as available-for-sale and are included in "Other Assets" on the Bank's Consolidated Statements of Condition. The loans are carried at the lower of allocated cost or current market value, on a portfolio basis. Deferred origination fees and costs associated with these loans are not amortized and are included as part of the basis of the loan at time of sale. Realized gains and unrealized losses are included with other noninterest income. The Bank engages in the servicing of mortgage loans and acquires mortgage servicing rights by purchasing or originating mortgage loans and then selling those loans with servicing rights retained. The rights to service mortgage loans for others are recognized as separate assets by allocating the total cost of the mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights and the loans (without the mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative fair values. The capitalized mortgage servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. The capitalized mortgage servicing rights are periodically evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The risk characteristics of the underlying loans used to stratify capitalized mortgage servicing rights for purposes of measuring impairment are interest rates, loan type and repricing interval. Commercial and real estate loans are placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of interest is doubtful or when principal or interest is 90 days past due, unless the credit is adequately collateralized and the loan is in process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest accrued but not yet collected which is deemed uncollectible is charged against interest income in the current year. Interest on nonaccrual loans is recognized as income only when cash is received and the Bank expects to collect the entire principal balance of the loan. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Interest income on restructured loans is accrued according to the most recently agreed upon contractual terms. Commercial and real estate loans are charged off when, in management's opinion, the loan is deemed uncollectible. Consumer installment loans are charged off when 120 days past due. Consumer revolving loans are charged off when 180 days past due. Accrued interest on these loans is charged to interest income. Such loans are not normally placed on nonaccrual status. Commercial loan commitments and letters of credit are executory contracts and are not reflected on the Bank's Consolidated Statements of Condition. Fees collected are generally deferred and recognized over the life of the facility. 47 Impaired loans (primarily commercial credits) are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows (discounted at the loan's effective interest rate) or, alternatively, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of supporting collateral. Impaired loans are defined as those where it is probable that amounts due for principal or interest according to contractual terms, will not be collected. Both nonaccrual and certain restructured loans meet this definition. Large groups of smaller-balance, homogeneous loans, primarily residential real estate and consumer installment loans, are excluded from this definition of impairment. The Bank determines loan impairment when assessing the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses. ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES The allowance for possible loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for estimated loan losses. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by net charge-offs. Known losses of principal on impaired loans are charged off. The provision for loan losses is based on past loss experience, management's evaluation of the loan portfolio under current economic conditions and management's estimate of losses inherent in the portfolio. Such estimates are reviewed periodically and adjustments, if necessary, are recorded during the periods in which they become known. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Interest costs associated with long-term construction projects are capitalized and then amortized over the life of the related asset after the project is completed. For financial reporting purposes, the provision for depreciation and amortization is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. BANK-OWNED INSURANCE The Bank has purchased life insurance coverage for certain officers. The one-time premiums paid for the policies, which coincide with the initial cash surrender value, are recorded as assets on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. Increases or decreases in cash surrender value (other than proceeds from death benefits) are recorded as other income or other expense. Proceeds from death benefits first reduce the cash surrender value attributable to the individual policy and any additional proceeds are recorded as other income. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Bank records goodwill and other intangible assets in connection with the acquisition of assets from unrelated parties or the acquisition of new subsidiaries. Goodwill that originated prior to July 1, 2001 was amortized on a straight-line basis through 2001 year-end but discontinued effective January 1, 2002 in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142. Goodwill arising subsequent to July 1, 2001 is not amortized. Goodwill is periodically assessed for impairment, at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on either an accelerated or straight-line basis depending on the character of the acquired asset. Original lives range from 3 to 15 years. Intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment when events or future assessments of profitability indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized and are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events indicate impairment. OTHER ASSETS Property or other assets received in satisfaction of debt are included in "Other Assets" on the Bank's Consolidated Statements of Condition and are recorded at the lower of remaining cost or fair value. Fair values for other real estate owned generally are reduced by estimated costs to sell. Losses arising from subsequent write-downs to fair value are charged directly to expense. Loans intended to be sold in the secondary market are classified as available-for-sale and are included in "Loans held for sale" on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. The loans are carried at lower of allocated cost or current market value, on a portfolio basis. The Bank has qualifying mortgage loan commitments that 48 are intended to be sold in the secondary market. These loan commitments are derivatives and are accounted for at fair value. RETIREMENT AND OTHER POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS The Bank has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering virtually all its employees. For its primary plan, the policy of the Bank is to, at a minimum, fund annually an amount necessary to satisfy the requirements under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"), without regard to prior years' contributions in excess of the minimum. Postemployment benefits provided to former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement are accrued if they meet the conditions for accrual of compensated absences. Otherwise, postemployment benefits are recorded when expenses are incurred. INCOME TAXES Deferred tax assets and liabilities, as determined by the temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, are computed using enacted tax rates and laws. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates or law is recognized as income or expense in the period including the enactment date. The Bank is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of Bankmont. Income tax return liabilities or benefits for all the consolidated entities are not materially different than they would have been if computed on a separate return basis. MANAGEMENT'S ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The areas requiring significant management judgment include provision and allowance for possible loan losses, income taxes, pension cost, postemployment benefits, valuation of intangible assets, fair values and temporary vs. other-than-temporary impairment. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications were made to conform prior years' financial statements to the current year's presentation. 2.

The Bank maintains effective control over the securities sold under agreement to repurchase and accounts for the transactions as secured borrowings. The amortized cost and estimated fair value of available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2002, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities can differ from contractual maturities since borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Gross gains of $63.0 million and gross losses of $1.7 million were realized on these sales in 2002, gross gains of $35.4 million and no gross losses were realized on these sales in 2001 and gross gains of $14.8 million and no gross losses were realized on these sales in 2000. Net unrealized holding gains on trading securities decreased during 2002 from an unrealized gain of $1.1 million at December 31, 2001 to an unrealized gain of $0.9 million at December 31, 2002. The decrease of $0.2 million has been included in 2002 earnings. 3. LOANS The following table summarizes loan balances by category: DECEMBER 31 ------------------------ 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- (IN THOUSANDS) Domestic loans: Commercial, financial, agricultural, brokers and dealers................................................ $5,641,852 $6,283,468 Real estate construction.................................. 241,278 188,187 Real estate mortgages..................................... 2,854,919 2,459,369 Installment............................................... 740,414 1,016,637 Foreign loans: Banks and other financial institutions.................... 100,488 10,039 Other, primarily commercial and industrial................ 28,936 14,773 ---------- ---------- Total loans............................................ 9,607,887 9,972,473 Less allowance for possible loan losses..................... 206,999 227,374 ---------- ---------- Loans, net of allowance for possible loan losses..... $9,400,888 $9,745,099 ========== ========== 50 Nonaccrual loans, restructured loans and other nonperforming assets are summarized below: YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31 -------------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 -------- -------- -------- (IN THOUSANDS) Nonaccrual loans............................................ $169,588 $202,320 $ 95,850 Restructured loans.......................................... -- 2,309 2,349 -------- -------- -------- Total nonperforming loans................................... 169,588 204,629 98,199 Other assets received in satisfaction of debt............... 1,975 140 3,125 -------- -------- -------- Total nonperforming assets............................. $171,563 $204,769 $101,324 ======== ======== ======== Gross amount of interest income that would have been recorded if year-end nonperforming loans had been accruing interest at their original terms.......................... $ 8,496 $ 14,306 $ 5,789 Interest income actually recognized......................... -- -- -- -------- -------- -------- Interest shortfall........................................ $ 8,496 $ 14,306 $ 5,789 ======== ======== ======== At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Bank had no aggregate public and private sector outstandings to any single country experiencing a liquidity problem which exceeded one percent of the Corporation's consolidated assets. At December 31, 2002 and 2001 commercial loans with a carrying value of $3.74 billion and $4.16 billion, respectively, were pledged to secure potential borrowings with the Federal Reserve. MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS The carrying amount of mortgage servicing rights was $12.9 million and $21.6 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The fair value of those rights equaled or exceeded the carrying amount at both December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. Mortgage servicing rights, included in other assets, of $4.5 million and $8.5 million were capitalized during 2002 and 2001, respectively. Amortization expense associated with the mortgage servicing rights was $5.9 million and $4.2 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively. There were no direct write-downs in 2002 or 2001. During 2002, impairment expense for mortgage servicing rights totaling $7.3 million was recorded in a valuation allowance to reflect the excess of carrying value over estimated fair value. 4.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. A summary of these accounts is set forth below: DECEMBER 31 -------------------- 2002 2001 -------- -------- (IN THOUSANDS) Land........................................................ $ 23,183 $ 23,183 Premises.................................................... 203,089 195,790 Equipment................................................... 385,907 340,427 Leasehold improvements...................................... 41,331 35,627 -------- -------- Total..................................................... 653,510 595,027 Accumulated depreciation and amortization................... 355,096 307,478 -------- -------- Premises and equipment................................. $298,414 $287,549 ======== ======== Depreciation and amortization expense was $46.3 million in 2002, $48.3 million in 2001 and $46.7 million in 2000. On December 17, 2001 the Bank closed on the sale of its fifteen story operations center containing approximately 415,000 gross square feet located at 311 West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois, and leased back approximately 259,000 rentable square feet. The lease ends on December 31, 2011. The Bank has rights of first offering to lease additional space and options to extend to December 31, 2026. The remainder of the building was occupied by third-party tenants. The sale resulted in a realized gain of $1 million and a deferred gain of $15.7 million and $17 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2002 and 2001. In addition, the Bank owns or leases premises at other locations to conduct branch banking activities. 6. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Bank adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on January 1, 2002. Under this standard, goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization while intangible assets with finite lives are amortized. Goodwill is periodically assessed for impairment, at least annually. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Bank had no goodwill. 52 The Bank adopted SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions -- an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9," on October 1, 2002. Under this standard, most acquisitions of financial institutions are removed from the scope of SFAS No. 72 and Interpretation 9 and are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142. As such, unidentifiable intangible assets recognized and amortized in accordance with SFAS No. 72, "Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions," represent goodwill that will be accounted for under SFAS No. 142. At adoption date, the Bank had an unidentifiable intangible asset that, in accordance with SFAS No. 72, was excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 142 and continued to be amortized through third quarter 2002. Upon adoption of the Statement, the unidentifiable intangible asset was reclassified to goodwill and no longer amortized starting in fourth quarter 2002. Under the transitional requirements of the Statement, the first three quarters of 2002 were restated to reflect the reversal of previously amortized goodwill in those quarters. The earnings impact for each of these three quarters was $2.35 million pretax ($1.4 million after tax). The Bank's goodwill was subject to the annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2002. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using a valuation technique based on multiples of book value. The test did not identify potential impairment and no impairment loss was recognized in 2002. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Bank's net income and earnings per share on a proforma basis adjusted to exclude the amortization of goodwill are included in the following table: YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31 ---------------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 --------- -------- --------- (IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT SHARE DATA) Net income.................................................. $171,834 $82,272 $226,444 Plus goodwill amortization.................................. -- 5,639 5,639 -------- ------- -------- Adjusted net income......................................... $171,834 $87,911 $232,083 ======== ======= ======== Earnings per common share: Net income applicable to common stock....................... $ 17.18 $ 8.23 $ 22.64 Plus goodwill amortization.................................. -- 0.56 0.56 -------- ------- -------- Adjusted net income applicable to common stock.............. $ 17.18 $ 8.79 $ 23.20 ======== ======= ======== The carrying value of the Bank's goodwill as of December 31, 2002 was $89.3 million. As of December 31, 2002, the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the Bank's amortizable intangible assets were $202.1 million and $104.1 million, respectively. Total amortization expense for the Bank's intangible assets was $16.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Estimated intangible asset amortization expense for the years ending December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 is $16.2 million, $16.4 million, $16.5 million, $16.7 million and $16.9 million, respectively. 7.

SECURITIES PURCHASED UNDER AGREEMENT TO RESELL AND SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENT TO REPURCHASE The Bank enters into purchases of U.S. Treasury and Federal agency securities under agreements to resell identical securities. The amounts advanced under these agreements represent short-term loans and are reflected as receivables in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. There were no securities purchased under agreement to resell outstanding at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. The securities underlying the agreements are book-entry securities. Securities are transferred by appropriate entry into the Bank's account with Bank of New York through the Federal Reserve Bank of New York under a written custodial agreement with Bank of New York that explicitly recognizes the Bank's interest in these securities. The Bank also enters into sales of U.S. Treasury and Federal agency securities under agreements to repurchase identical securities. The amounts received under these agreements represent short-term borrowings and are reflected as liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. Securities sold under agreement to repurchase totaled $4.19 billion and $3.57 billion at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Securities sold under agreement to repurchase are transferred via book-entry to the counterparty, if transacted with a financial institution or a broker-dealer, or are delivered to customer safekeeping accounts. The Bank monitors the market value of these securities and adjusts the level of collateral for repurchase agreements, as appropriate. The Bank maintains effective control over the securities sold under agreement to repurchase and accounts for the transactions as secured borrowings.

The interest rate on the floating rate notes reprices semiannually and floats at 50 basis points above 180 day London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR"). At year-end 2002, 180 day LIBOR was 1.38 percent. The Bank offers to institutional investors from time to time, unsecured short-term and medium-term bank notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.5 billion outstanding at any time. The term of each note could range from 14 days to 15 years. These senior notes are subordinated to deposits and rank pari passu with all other unsecured senior indebtedness of the Bank. As of December 31, 2002, $200 million of senior short-term notes were outstanding with original maturities of 64 days (remaining maturities of 22 days) and stated interest rates of 1.33 percent. As of December 31, 2001, $860 million of senior short-term notes were outstanding with original maturities ranging from 365 to 392 days (remaining maturities ranging from 99 to 207 days) and stated interest rates ranging from 1.78 percent to 4.41 percent. 10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Generally accepted accounting principles require the disclosure of estimated fair values for both on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments. The Bank's fair values are based on quoted market prices when available. For financial instruments not actively traded, such as certain loans, deposits, off-balance-sheet transactions and long term borrowings, fair values have been estimated using various valuation methods and assumptions. Although management used its best judgment in estimating these values, there are inherent limitations in any estimation methodology. In addition, accounting pronouncements require that fair values be estimated on an item-by-item basis, thereby ignoring the impact a large sale would have on a thin market and intangible values imbedded in established lines of business. Therefore, the fair value estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Bank could realize in an actual transaction. The fair value estimation methodologies employed by the Bank were as follows: The carrying amounts for cash and demand balances due from banks along with short-term money market assets and liabilities reported on the Bank's Consolidated Statements of Condition were considered to be the best estimates of fair value for these financial instruments. Fair values of trading account assets and available-for-sale securities were based on quoted market prices. 55 A variety of methods were used to estimate the fair value of loans. Changes in estimated fair value of loans reflect changes in credit risk and general interest rates which have occurred since the loans were originated. Fair values of floating rate loans, including commercial, broker dealer, financial institution, construction, charge card, consumer and home equity, were assumed to be the same as carrying value since the loans' interest rates automatically reprice to market. Fair values of residential mortgages were based on current prices for securities backed by similar loans. For long-term fixed rate loans, including consumer installment and commercial mortgage loans, fair values were estimated based on the present value of future cash flows with current market rates as discount rates. Additionally, management considered appraisal values of collateral when nonperforming loans were secured by real estate. The fair values of customers' liability on acceptances and acceptances outstanding approximate carrying value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities and the generally negligible credit losses associated with them. The fair values of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate carrying values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. The fair values of bank-owned insurance investments approximate carrying value, because upon liquidation of these investments the Bank would receive the cash surrender value which equals carrying value. The fair values of demand deposits, savings accounts, interest-bearing checking deposits, and money market accounts were the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date, or the carrying amounts. The fair value of time deposits was estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation with current market rates offered by the Bank as discount rates. The fair value of senior notes approximates carrying value because the average maturity on these notes is less than one year. The fair value of minority interest -- preferred stock of subsidiary (Harris Preferred Capital Corporation) approximates carrying value as the preferred stock has a liquidation preference that equals book value. The fair value of long-term notes was determined using a discounted cash flow calculation with current rates available to the Bank for similar debt as discount rates. The fair value of credit facilities are presented as an obligation in order to represent the approximate cost the Bank would incur to induce third parties to assume these commitments. 56 The estimated fair values of the Bank's financial instruments at December 31, 2002 and 2001 are presented in the following table. See Note 11 to Financial Statements for additional information regarding fair values of off-balance-sheet financial instruments.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK The Bank utilizes various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to a) meet its customers' financing and risk management needs, b) reduce its own risk exposure, and c) produce fee income and trading profits. The Bank's major categories of financial instruments with off- balance-sheet risk include credit facilities and various securities-related activities. Fair values of off-balance-sheet instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, market prices of comparable instruments, pricing models using year-end rates and counterparty credit ratings. Credit Facilities Credit facilities with off-balance-sheet risk include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are contractual agreements to lend to a customer as long as contract terms have been met. They generally require payment of a fee and have fixed expiration dates. The Bank's commitments serve both business and individual customer needs, and include commercial loan commitments, home equity lines, commercial real estate loan commitments and mortgage loan commitments. The Bank's maximum risk of accounting loss is represented by the total contractual amount of commitments, which was $8.0 billion and $7.6 billion at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Since only a portion of commitments will ultimately be drawn down, the Bank does not expect to provide funds for the total contractual amount. Risks associated with certain commitments are reduced by participations to third parties, which at December 31, 2002, totaled $667 million and at December 31, 2001, totaled $632 million. Standby letters of credit are unconditional commitments which guarantee the obligation of a customer to a third party should that customer default. They are issued to support financial and performance-related obligations including brokers' margin maintenance, industrial revenue bond repayment, debt repayment, construction contract performance and trade agreement performance. The Bank's maximum risk of accounting loss for these items is represented by the total commitments outstanding of $2.66 billion at December 31, 2002 and $2.30 billion at December 31, 2001. Risks associated with standby letters of credit are reduced by participations to third parties which totaled $881 million at December 31, 2002 and $664 million at December 31, 2001. Commercial letters of credit are commitments to make payments on behalf of customers when letter of credit terms have been met. Maximum risk of accounting loss is represented by total commercial letters of credit outstanding of $41 million at December 31, 2002 and $36 million at December 31, 2001. Credit risks associated with all of these facilities are mitigated by reviewing customers' creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis, obtaining collateral, limiting loans to individual borrowers, setting restrictions on long-duration maturities and establishing stringent covenant terms outlining performance expectations which, if not met, may cause the Bank to terminate the contract. Credit risks are further mitigated by monitoring and maintaining portfolios that are well-diversified. Collateral is required to support certain of these credit facilities when they are drawn down and may include equity and debt securities, commodities, inventories, receivables, certificates of deposit, savings instruments, fixed assets, real estate, life insurance policies and memberships on national or regional stock and commodity exchanges. Requirements are based upon the risk inherent in the credit and are more stringent for firms and individuals with greater default risks. The Bank monitors collateral values and appropriately perfects its security interest. Periodic evaluations of collateral adequacy are performed by Bank personnel. The fair value of credit facilities (i.e. deferred income) is approximately equal to their carrying value of $14.9 million at December 31, 2002 and $18.4 million at December 31, 2001. Derivative Financial Instruments The Bank adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," on January 1, 2001. Under this standard, all derivative instruments are recognized at fair value in the 58 Consolidated Statements of Condition. All derivative instruments are designated either as hedges or held for trading or non-hedging purposes. The Bank uses various interest rate, foreign exchange, equity, and commodity derivative contracts as part of its dealer and trading activities or in the management of its risk strategy. Interest rate contracts include futures, forwards, forward rate agreements, option contracts, caps, floors, collars and swaps. Foreign exchange contracts include spot, futures, forwards, option contracts and swaps. Equity contracts include options and swaps. Commodity contracts include swaps. At December 31, 2002 the Bank recorded, for dealer and trading activities and for risk management activities that do not otherwise qualify for hedge accounting, the fair value of derivative instrument assets of $147.2 million in other assets and derivative instrument liabilities of $151.9 million in other liabilities. At December 31, 2001 the Bank recorded the fair value of derivative instrument assets of $117.3 million in other assets and derivative instrument liabilities of $121.5 million in other liabilities. These amounts reflect the netting of certain derivative instrument assets and liabilities when the conditions in FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 39, "Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts," have been met. At December 31, 2002, derivative contracts with BMO represent $20.3 million and $136.7 million of unrealized gains and unrealized losses, respectively. At December 31, 2001, derivative contracts with BMO represent $14.8 million and $95.3 million of unrealized gains and unrealized losses, respectively. Dealer and Trading Activity Interest Rate Contracts As dealer, the Bank serves customers seeking to manage interest rate risk by entering into contracts as counterparty to their (customer) transactions. In its trading activities, the Bank uses interest rate contracts to profit from expected future market movements. These contracts may create exposure to both credit and market risk. Replacement risk, the primary component of credit risk, is the risk of loss should a counterparty default following unfavorable market movements and is measured as the Bank's cost of replacing contracts at current market rates. The Bank manages credit risk by establishing credit limits for customers and products through an independent corporate-wide credit review process and by continually monitoring exposure against those limits to ensure they are not exceeded. Credit risk is, in many cases, further mitigated by the existence of netting agreements that provide for netting of contractual receivables and payables in the event of default or bankruptcy. Netting agreements apply to situations where the Bank is engaged in more than one outstanding derivative transaction with the same counterparty and also has a legally enforceable master netting agreement with that counterparty. Market risk is the potential for loss arising from potential adverse changes in underlying market factors, including interest and foreign exchange rates. The Bank manages market risk through the imposition of integrated value-at-risk limits and an active, independent monitoring process. Value-at-risk methodology is used for measuring the market risk of the Bank's trading positions. This statistical methodology uses recent market volatility to estimate the maximum daily trading loss that the Bank would expect to incur, on average, 99 percent of the time. The model also measures the effect of correlation among the various trading instruments to determine how much risk is eliminated by offsetting positions. Futures and forward contracts are agreements in which the Bank is obligated to make or take delivery, at a specified future date, of a specified instrument, at a specified price or yield. Futures contracts are exchange traded and, because of exchange requirements that gains and losses be settled daily, create negligible exposure to credit risk. Forward rate agreements are arrangements between two parties to exchange amounts, at a specified future date, based on the difference between an agreed upon interest rate and reference rate applied to a notional principal amount. These agreements enable purchasers and sellers to fix interest costs and returns. 59 Options are contracts that provide the buyer the right (but not the obligation) to purchase or sell a financial instrument, at a specified price, either within a specified period of time or on a certain date. Interest rate guarantees (caps, floors and collars) are agreements between two parties that, in general, establish for the purchaser a maximum level of interest expense or a minimum level of interest revenue based on a notional principal amount for a specified term. Options and interest rate guarantees written create exposure to market risk. As a writer of interest rate options and guarantees, the Bank receives a premium at the outset of the agreement and bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the financial instrument underlying the option or interest rate guarantee. Options and interest rate guarantees purchased create exposure to credit risk and, to the extent of the premium paid or unrealized gain recognized, market risk. Interest rate swaps are contracts involving the exchange of interest payments based on a notional amount for a specified period. Most of the Bank's activity in swaps is as intermediary in the exchange of interest payments between customers, although the Bank also uses swaps to manage its own interest rate exposure (see discussion of risk management activity). Foreign Exchange Contracts The Bank is a dealer in foreign exchange ("FX") contracts. FX contracts may create exposure to market and credit risk, including replacement risk and settlement risk. Credit risk is managed by establishing limits for customers through an independent corporate-wide credit approval process and continually monitoring exposure against those limits. In addition, both settlement and replacement risk are reduced through netting by novation, agreements with counterparties to offset certain related obligations. Market risk is managed through establishing exposure limits by currency and monitoring actual exposure against those limits, entering into offsetting positions, and closely monitoring price behavior. The Bank and BMO combine their U.S. FX revenues. Under this arrangement, FX net profit is shared by the Bank and BMO in accordance with a specific formula set forth in the agreement. This agreement expires on April 2, 2003, but may be extended at that time. Either party may terminate the arrangement at its option. FX revenues are reported net of expenses. Net gains (losses) from dealer/trading foreign exchange contracts, for the years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, totaled $7.2 million and $8.8 million, respectively, of net profit under the aforementioned agreement with BMO. At December 31, 2002, approximately 98 percent of the Bank's gross notional positions in foreign currency contracts are represented by eight currencies: Eurodollar, Canadian dollars, British pounds, Australian dollar, Swiss francs, Swedish krona, Japanese yen and the Mexican peso. Foreign exchange contracts include spot, future, forward, option and swap contracts that enable customers to manage their foreign exchange risk. Spot, future and forward contracts are agreements to exchange currencies at a future date, at a specified rate of exchange. Foreign exchange option contracts give the buyer the right and the seller an obligation (if the buyer asserts his right) to exchange currencies during a specified period (or on a certain date in the case of "European" options) at a specified exchange rate. Cross currency swap contracts are agreements to exchange principal denominated in two different currencies at the spot rate and to repay the principal at a specified future date and exchange rate. Equity Contracts The Bank enters into equity contracts that enable customers to manage the risk associated with equity price fluctuations. Equity contracts include options and swaps. Commodity Contracts The Bank enters into commodity contracts that enable customers to manage the risk associated with commodity price fluctuations. Commodity contracts include swaps. 60 Risk Management Activity In addition to its dealer and trading activities, the Bank uses interest rate contracts, primarily swaps, and foreign exchange contracts to reduce the level of financial risk inherent in mismatches between the interest rate sensitivities and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations of certain assets and liabilities. For non-trading risks, market risk is controlled by actively managing the asset and liability mix, either directly through the balance sheet or with off-balance sheet derivative instruments. Measures also focus on interest rate exposure gaps and sensitivity to rate changes. The Bank has an interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings that may be caused by interest rate volatility. The Bank manages interest rate sensitivity by modifying the repricing or maturity characteristics of certain fixed rate assets so that net interest margin is not adversely affected, on a material basis, by movements in interest rates. As a result of interest rate fluctuations, fixed rate assets will appreciate or depreciate in market value. The effect of the unrealized appreciation or depreciation will generally be offset by the gains or losses on the derivative instruments. The Bank has a foreign currency risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings that may be caused by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Certain assets and liabilities are denominated in foreign currency, creating exposure to changes in exchange rates. The Bank uses cross currency interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge the risk. Risk management activities include the following derivative transactions that qualify for hedge accounting. Fair Value Hedges The Bank uses interest rate swaps to alter the character of revenue earned on certain long-term, fixed rate loans. Interest rate swaps convert the fixed rate loans into variable rate loans. Interest rate swap contracts generally involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments between two parties, based on a common notional amount and maturity date. For fair value hedges, as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Bank recorded the fair value of derivative instrument liabilities of $14.9 million and $8.2 million respectively, in other liabilities. Net losses recorded for the year-to-date periods ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 representing the ineffective portion of the fair value hedges were not material to the consolidated financial statements of the Bank. Gains or losses resulting from hedge ineffectiveness are recorded in noninterest income. Cash Flow Hedges The Bank had no cash flow hedges during 2002. Prior to 2002, the Bank had used a total return swap to reduce the variability associated with the cash flows from an equity security. The total return swap converted the cash flows received on an available-for-sale equity security from variable to fixed. Changes in the fair value of the swap were recorded in other comprehensive income. The unrealized holding gain (loss) on the available-for-sale equity security was recorded in other comprehensive income. Prior to September 30, 2001 the Bank removed the hedge designation due to the expectation of diminished cash flows from the equity security. The unrealized loss in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the total return swap was not material to the consolidated financial statements of the Bank. As of September 30, 2001 the swap, designated a nonhedging derivative, was marked to market and the resulting unrealized gain was recorded in noninterest income. Risk management activities also include the following derivative transactions that do not otherwise qualify for hedge accounting. 61 Foreign exchange contracts are used to stabilize any currency exchange rate fluctuation for certain senior notes and certain loans. The derivative instruments, primarily cross currency interest rate swaps and to a lesser extent forward contracts, do not qualify for hedge accounting and are accounted for at fair value. The Bank has qualifying mortgage loan commitments that are intended to be sold in the secondary market. These loan commitments are derivatives and are accounted for at fair value. The Bank enters into forward sales of mortgage-backed securities to minimize its exposure to interest rate volatility. These forward sales of mortgage-backed securities are also derivatives and are accounted for at fair value. Securities Activities The Bank's securities activities that have off-balance-sheet risk include municipal bond underwriting and short selling of securities. Through its municipal bond underwriting activities, the Bank commits to buy and offer for resale newly issued bonds. The Bank is exposed to market risk because it may be unable to resell its inventory of bonds profitably as a result of unfavorable market conditions. In syndicate arrangements, the Bank is obligated to fulfill syndicate members' commitments should they default. The syndicates of which the Bank was a member had underwriting commitments totaling $37 million at December 31, 2002 and $51 million at December 31, 2001. Security short selling, defined as selling of securities not yet owned, exposes the Bank to off-balance-sheet market risk because the Bank may be required to buy securities at higher prevailing market prices to cover its short positions. The Bank had no short position at December 31, 2002 or 2001. 12. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK IN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Bank had one major concentration of credit risk arising from financial instruments at December 31, 2002 and 2001. This concentration was the Midwest geographic area. This concentration exceeded 10 percent of the Bank's total credit exposure, which is the total potential accounting loss should all customers fail to perform according to contract terms and all collateral prove to be worthless. Midwestern Geographic Area A majority of the Bank's customers are located in the Midwestern region of the United States, defined here to include Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin. The Bank provides credit to these customers through a broad array of banking and trade financing products including commercial loans, commercial loan commitments, commercial real estate loans, consumer installment loans, mortgage loans, home equity loans and lines, standby and commercial letters of credit and banker's acceptances. The financial viability of customers in the Midwest is, in part, dependent on the region's economy. Corporate customers headquartered in the region and serving a national or international market are not included in this concentration because their business is broad-based and not dependent on the region's economy. The Bank's maximum risk of accounting loss, should all customers making up the Midwestern concentration fail to perform according to contract terms and all collateral prove to be worthless, was approximately $13.4 billion or 50 percent of the Bank's total credit exposure at December 31, 2002 and $14.0 billion or 51 percent of the Bank's total credit exposure at December 31, 2001. The Bank manages this exposure by continually reviewing local market conditions and customers, adjusting individual and industry exposure limits within the region and by obtaining or closely monitoring collateral values. See Note 10 to Financial Statements for information on collateral supporting credit facilities. 13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Bank has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering virtually all its employees as of December 31, 2002. Most of the employees participating in retirement plans were included in one primary plan ("primary plan") during the three-year period ended December 31, 2002. The plan is a multiple-employer plan covering the Bank's employees as well as persons employed by certain affiliated entities. 62 Effective January 1, 2002, the plan's benefit formula was changed to an account-based formula from a final average pay formula. The account-based benefit formula is based upon eligible pay, age and length of service. Prior to January 1, 2002, the plan's benefit formula is a final average pay formula. It is based upon length of service and an employee's highest qualifying compensation during five consecutive years of active employment less an estimated Social Security benefit. The policy for this plan is to have the participating entities, at a minimum, fund annually an amount necessary to satisfy the requirements under ERISA, without regard to prior years' contributions in excess of the minimum. For 2002, 2001 and 2000, cumulative contributions were greater than the amounts recorded as primary pension expense for financial reporting purposes. The total consolidated pension expense of the Bank, including the supplemental plan (excluding settlement losses and curtailment gains), for 2002, 2001, and 2000 was $11.7 million, $7.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively. In addition to pension benefits, the Bank provides medical care benefits for retirees (and their dependents) who have attained age 55 and have at least 10 years of service. The Bank also provides medical care benefits for disabled employees and widows of former employees (and their dependents). The Bank provides these medical care benefits through a self-insured plan. Under the terms of the plan, the Bank contributes to the cost of coverage based on employees' length of service. Cost sharing with plan participants is accomplished through deductibles, coinsurance and out-of-pocket limits. Funding for the plan largely comes from the general assets of the Bank supplemented by contributions to a trust fund created under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(h). Curtailment gains amounting to $7.3 million and $2.3 million for pension plan and postretirement medical plan, respectively, were recognized in 2000 due to the sale of corporate trust business, the sale of merchant card business and the outsourcing arrangement with Alltel. Of those totals, $2.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, were recognized as a direct reduction of benefit expense. Settlement losses amounting to $0.1 million for the supplemental plan were recognized in 2000. The following tables set forth the change in benefit obligation and plan assets for the pension and postretirement medical care benefit plans for the Bank: PENSION BENEFITS POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL BENEFITS ------------------------------- --------------------------------- 2002*** 2001*** 2000*** 2002*** 2001*** 2000*** --------- -------- -------- --------- --------- --------- (IN THOUSANDS) CHANGE IN BENEFIT OBLIGATION* Benefit obligation at beginning of year.......... $ 248,377 $224,002 $227,701 $ 38,389 $ 32,933 $ 35,238 Service cost................. 10,871 8,812 9,373 1,259 1,280 1,346 Interest cost................ 18,451 16,419 16,643 2,799 2,471 2,453 Plan Amendments.............. 1,585 4,033 -- -- -- -- Acquisitions/transfers....... -- 94 -- -- -- -- Curtailment (gain) or loss... -- -- (7,348) -- -- (2,276) Benefits paid (net of participant contributions).............

For measurement purposes, a 10.0 percent annual rate of increase for pre 65 and a 13.0 percent annual rate of increase for post 65 in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2002. The rate will be graded down to 5.5 percent for pre 65 and 6.5 percent for post 65 in 2011 and 2009, respectively, and remain level thereafter. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Bank amended the plan to enhance the 401(k) matching contribution and discontinue the profit sharing contribution. The matching contribution is based on the amount of eligible employee contributions. 66 The profit sharing contribution was based on the annual financial performance of the Bank relative to predefined targets. The Bank's total expense for this plan was $9.3 million, $7.8 million and $9.7 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 14. STOCK OPTIONS The Bank has two primary stock-based compensation plans, an options program and a performance incentive plan. A stock appreciation rights plan was fully paid out early in 2000. The option plans are accounted for under the fair value based method of accounting and they are described below. Harris Bankcorp Stock Option Program The Harris Bankcorp Stock Option Program was established under the Bank of Montreal Stock Option Plan for certain designated executives and other employees of the Bank and affiliated companies in order to provide incentive to attain long-term strategic goals and to attract and retain services of key employees. The Bank has two types of option plans. The Fixed Stock Option Plan consists of standard stock options with a ten-year term which are exercisable only during the second five years of their term, assuming cumulative performance goals are met. The Performance Based Option Plan consists of standard and performance conditioned stock options with a ten-year term and a four-year vesting period, which are exercisable twenty-five percent per annum. The standard options may be exercised at any time once vested. The performance-conditioned options may be exercised provided the BMO shares trade at fifty percent over the price of the stock at date of grant for twenty consecutive days, after the vesting date. The stock options are exercisable for BMO common stock equal to the market price on the date of grant.

The Plan is intended to enhance the Bank's ability to attract and retain high quality employees and to provide a strong incentive to employees to achieve BMO's governing objective of maximizing value for its shareholders. Payouts under the plan to participants depend on the achievement of specific performance criteria that are set at the grant date. The right to receive distributions under the plan vest and are paid out after three years based on various factors including the BMO share price. Compensation expense for this plan totaled $10.6 million and $6.8 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively. There was no compensation expense related to this plan in 2000. Harris Bankcorp Stock Appreciation Rights Plan The Harris Bankcorp Stock Appreciation Rights Plan was fully paid between November 23, 1999 and January 22, 2000. All rights were exercised at that time. No compensation expense was recorded was recorded in 2002, 2001 or 2000.

Management believes that the realization of the recognized net deferred tax asset is more likely than not based on existing carryback ability and expectations as to future taxable income. Total income tax expense of $67.3 million for 2002, $10.2 million for 2001, and $97.3 million for 2000 reflects effective tax rates of 28.2 percent, 11.1 percent, and 30.1 percent, respectively.

REGULATORY CAPITAL The Bank, as a state-member bank, must adhere to the capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve Board ("the Board"), which are not significantly different than those published by other U.S. banking regulators. The guidelines specify minimum ratios for Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4 percent and total regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets of 8 percent. Risk-based capital guidelines define total capital to consist primarily of Tier 1 (core) and Tier 2 (supplementary) capital. In general, Tier 1 capital is comprised of stockholder's equity, including certain types of preferred stock, less goodwill and certain other intangibles. Core capital must comprise at least 50 percent of total capital. Tier 2 capital basically includes subordinated debt (less a discount factor during the five years prior to maturity), other types of preferred stock and the allowance for possible loan losses. The portion of the allowance for possible loan losses includable in Tier 2 capital is limited to 1.25 percent of risk-weighted assets. The Board also requires an additional measure of capital adequacy, the Tier 1 leverage ratio, which is evaluated in conjunction with risk-based capital ratios. The Tier 1 leverage ratio is computed by dividing period-end Tier 1 capital by adjusted quarterly average assets. The Board established a minimum ratio of 3 percent applicable only to the strongest banking organizations having, among other things, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, good earnings and no undue interest rate risk exposure. Other institutions are expected to maintain a minimum ratio of 4 percent. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 contains prompt corrective action provisions that established five capital categories for all Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")-insured institutions ranging from "well capitalized" to "critically undercapitalized." Classification within a category is based primarily on the three capital adequacy measures. An institution is considered "well capitalized" if its capital level significantly exceeds the required minimum levels, "adequately capitalized" if it meets the minimum levels, "undercapitalized" if it fails to meet the minimum levels, "significantly undercapitalized" if it is significantly below the minimum levels and "critically undercapitalized" if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets of 2 percent or less. Noncompliance with minimum capital requirements may result in regulatory corrective actions that could have a material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Depending on the level of noncompliance, regulatory corrective actions may include the following: requiring a plan for restoring the institution to an acceptable capital category, restricting or prohibiting certain activities and appointing a receiver or conservator for the institution. As of December 31, 2002, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since December 31, 2002 that have changed the capital category of the Bank. At December 31, 2002 the Bank had $255 million of minority interest in preferred stock of a subsidiary including $250 million noncumulative, exchangeable Series A preferred stock with dividends payable at the rate of 7 3/8% per annum. The Bank also had a total of $5 million of preferred stock with cumulative dividends payable at the rate of LIBOR plus 100 basis points adjusted as of the first business day of the calendar quarter which the record date falls. Dividends of $19 million and $18 million were paid on the preferred stock in 2002 and 2001, respectively. All issues of the preferred stock qualify as Tier 1 Capital for the Bank under U.S. banking regulatory guidelines. 71 The following table summarizes the Bank's risk-based capital ratios and Tier 1 leverage ratio for the past two years as well as the minimum amounts and ratios as per capital adequacy guidelines and FDIC prompt corrective action provisions.

INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES AND STATUTORY RESTRICTIONS The Bank's investment in the combined net assets of its wholly-owned subsidiaries was $787 million and $639 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Provisions of both Illinois and Federal banking laws place restrictions upon the amount of dividends that can be paid to Bankcorp by its bank subsidiaries. Illinois law requires that no dividends may be paid in an amount greater than the net profits then on hand, reduced by certain loan losses (as defined). In addition to these restrictions, Federal Reserve member banking subsidiaries require prior approval of Federal banking authorities if dividends declared by a subsidiary bank, in any calendar year, will exceed its net profits (as defined in the applicable statute) for that year, combined with its retained net profits, as so defined, for the preceding two years. Based on these and certain other prescribed regulatory limitations, the Bank could have declared, without regulatory approval, $314 million of dividends at December 31, 2002. Actual dividends paid, however, would be subject to prudent capital maintenance. Cash dividends paid to Bankcorp by the Bank amounted to $188 million and $84 million in 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Bank is required by the Federal Reserve Act to maintain reserves against certain of their deposits. Reserves are held either in the form of vault cash or balances maintained with the Federal Reserve Bank. Required reserves are essentially a function of daily average deposit balances and statutory reserve ratios prescribed by type of deposit. During 2002 and 2001, daily average reserve balances of $266 million and $255 million, respectively, were required for the Bank. At year-end 2002 and 2001, balances on deposit at the Federal Reserve Bank totaled $211 million and $264 million, respectively. 19. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES The Bank and certain subsidiaries are defendants in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based on the advice of legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Bank's financial position or results of operations. 72 20.

Internal allocations for certain unidentifiable income and expenses were distributed to foreign operations based on the percentage of identifiable foreign 73 income to total income. As of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, identifiable foreign assets accounted for 3 percent, 1 percent and 1 percent, respectively, of total consolidated assets. 22. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DISPOSITIONS/INTANGIBLES At December 31, 2002 and 2001, intangible assets, including goodwill resulting from business combinations, amounted to $187 million and $206 million, respectively. Amortization of these intangibles amounted to $16.0 million in 2002, $23.8 million in 2001, and $22.7 million in 2000. The decrease in the 2002 amortization is primarily due to the Bank's adoption of SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9," on October 1, 2002 (See Note 6). The impact of purchase accounting adjustments, other than amortization of intangibles, was not material to the Bank's reported results. In March 2000, the Bank sold its corporate trust business. In separate and unrelated transactions, the indenture trust business was sold to a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Company, Inc., and the shareholder services business to Computershare Limited. The combined sales resulted in a pretax gain of $45.6 million. On December 1, 2000, the Bank sold its merchant card business to the credit card processing joint venture (Moneris) formed between BMO and Royal Bank of Canada. The sale resulted in a pretax gain to the Bank of $60.2 million, which was eliminated in the consolidation of the Bank's results with BMO. 23. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During 2002, 2001, and 2000, the Bank engaged in various transactions with BMO and its subsidiaries. These transactions included the payment and receipt of service fees and occupancy expenses; purchasing and selling Federal funds; repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements; short-term borrowings; interest rate and foreign exchange rate contracts. The purpose of these transactions was to facilitate a more efficient use of combined resources and to better serve customers. Fees for these services were determined in accordance with applicable banking regulations. During 2002, 2001, and 2000, the Bank received from BMO approximately $20.8 million, $24.9 million and $14.7 million respectively, primarily for trust services, data processing and other operations support provided by the Bank. The Corporation made payments to BMO of approximately $27.3 million, $32.1 million and $17.0 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Bank and BMO combine their U.S. foreign exchange activities. Under this arrangement, the Bank and BMO share FX net profit in accordance with a specific formula set forth in the agreement. This agreement expires in April 2003 but may be extended at that time. Either party may terminate the arrangement at its option. FX revenues are reported net of expenses. 2002, 2001 and 2000 foreign exchange revenues included $7.2 million, $8.8 million and $7.2 million of net profit, respectively, under this agreement. 74
