HARRIS PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. 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. Harris Capital Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Bank, owns 100% of the Company's common stock.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by management from
the books and records of the Company, without audit by independent certified
public accountants. These statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the
results for the interim periods presented and should be read in conjunction with
the notes to financial statements included in the Company's 2001 Form 10-K.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal proceedings in which the Company is a defendant may arise in the
normal course of business. There is no pending litigation against the Company.

3. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 141, "Business Combinations." The Statement addresses financial accounting
and reporting for business combinations and supersedes APB Opinion No. 16,
"Business Combinations." It requires all business combinations within the scope
of the Statement to be accounted for using one method, the purchase method. It
establishes criteria for the initial recognition of intangible assets acquired
in a business combination. The provisions of the Statement apply to all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and to all business combinations
accounted for by using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is
July 1, 2001 or later. The implementation of this Statement has not had a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The Statement addresses
financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible
assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets." Under this
Statement, goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful
lives will not be subject to amortization while intangible assets with finite
lives will be amortized. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. However, goodwill and intangible assets acquired after
June 30, 2001 will be subject immediately to the nonamortization and
amortization provisions of the Statement. The implementation of this Statement
has not had a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations." The Statement addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Statement requires that
the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized
in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can
be made. The associated asset retirement costs should be capitalized as part of
the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The Statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal

HARRIS PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

years beginning after June 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.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The Statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and
establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by
sale. It supersedes SFAS No. 121 and the accounting and reporting provisions of
APB Opinion No. 30 for the disposal of a segment of a business. The Statement is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
implementation of this Statement has not had a material effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

The statements contained in this Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely
historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, including statements regarding the Company's expectation, intentions,
beliefs or strategies regarding the future. Forward-looking statements include
the Company's statements regarding tax treatment as a real estate investment
trust, liquidity, provision for loan losses, capital resources and investment
activities. In addition, in those and other portions of this document, the words
"anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend" and other similar
expressions, as they relate to the Company or the Company's management, are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the
current views of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to
certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. It is important to note that the
Company's actual results could differ materially from those described herein as
anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Among the factors that could cause
the results to differ materially are the risks discussed in the "Risk Factors"
section included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No.
333-40257), with respect to the Preferred Shares declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 1998. The Company assumes no
obligation to update any such forward-looking statement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THIRD QUARTER 2002 COMPARED WITH THIRD QUARTER 2001

The Company's net income for the third quarter of 2002 was $4.4 million.
This represented a $5.5 million or 56% decrease from third quarter 2001 earnings
of $9.9 million. Earnings decreased primarily because of reduced interest income
on earning assets and a $2.6 million gain on sale of securities in 2001 compared
to a small loss in the current year. As assets mature or are sold, proceeds have
been invested in lower yielding securities because market interest rates have
been declining in the last twelve months.

Third quarter 2002 interest income on the Notes totaled $641 thousand and
yielded 6.4% on $40.1 million of average principal outstanding for the quarter
compared to $1.2 million and a 6.4% yield on $75.1 million average principal
outstanding for third quarter 2001. The decrease in income was attributable to a
reduction in the Notes balance because of customer payoffs on the Securing
Mortgage Loans. The average outstanding balance of the Securing Mortgage Loans
for third quarter 2002 and 2001 was $49 million and $91 million, respectively.
Interest income on securities available-for-sale for the current quarter was
$3.1 million resulting in a yield of 4.6% on an average balance of $276 million,
compared to $5.9 million with a yield of 6.3% on an average balance of $374
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 in the past twelve months.

HARRIS PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

There were no Company borrowings during third quarter 2002 or 2001.

Third quarter 2002 operating expenses totaled $86 thousand, a decrease of
$28 thousand or 25% from the third quarter of 2001. Loan servicing expenses
totaled $31 thousand, a decrease of $25 thousand or 45% from a year ago. This
decrease is attributable to the reduction in the principal balance of the Notes,
thereby reducing servicing fees payable to the Bank. Advisory fees for both the
third quarter 2002 and 2001 were $8 thousand. General and administrative
expenses totaled $47 thousand, a decrease of $3 thousand over third quarter
2001.

At September 30, 2002 and 2001, there were no Securing Mortgage Loans on
nonaccrual status.

The Company does not currently maintain an allowance for loan losses due to
the over-collateralization of the Notes represented by the Securing Mortgage
Loans.

For the current quarter, the Company had a $253,000 loss after dividends on
its preferred stock. The Company anticipates that it has sufficient liquidity
and earnings capacity to continue preferred dividend payments on an
uninterrupted basis.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 COMPARED WITH SEPTEMBER 30, 2001

The Company's net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was
$17.5 million. This represented a $10.1 million or 36% decrease from 2001
earnings of $27.5 million. Earnings decreased primarily because of reduced
interest income on earning assets. As assets mature or are sold, proceeds have
been invested in lower yielding securities because market interest rates have
been declining in the past twelve months. In addition, gains on security sales
declined from $4.8 million in last year's nine month period to $2.7 million in
the current 2002 period.

Interest income on securities purchased under agreement to resell for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $1.6 million, an increase of $355
thousand from the same period in 2001. Interest income on the Notes for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 totaled $2.2 million and yielded 6.40% on $46
million of average principal outstanding compared to $4.2 million of income
yielding 6.40% on $87 million of average principal outstanding for the same
period in 2001. The decrease in income was attributable to a reduction in the
Notes balance because of customer payoffs on the Securing Mortgage Loans. There
were no Company borrowings during either period. Interest income on securities
available-for-sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $11.2
million resulting in a yield of 5.25% on an average balance of $285 million,
compared to $17.6 million of income with a yield of 6.48% on an average balance
of $363 million 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 as a result of market
interest rates declining in recent months. Gains from investment securities
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $2.7 million compared to
$4.8 million a year ago. The average outstanding balance of the Securing
Mortgage Loans was $40 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and
$106 million for the same period in 2001.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 totaled
$313 thousand, a decrease of $67 thousand from a year ago. Loan servicing
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 totaled $106 thousand, a
decrease of $89 thousand or 46% from 2001. This decrease is attributable to the
reduction in the principal balance of the Notes because servicing costs vary
directly with these balances. Advisory fees for the nine months ended September
30, 2002 were $35 thousand compared to $28 thousand a year ago, primarily
attributable to increased securities processing costs in the current year.
General and administrative expenses totaled $172 thousand, an increase of $15
thousand or 10% over the same period in 2001, as a result of additional
reporting and compliance costs.

On September 30, 2002, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.46094 per
share on outstanding preferred shares to the stockholders of record on September
15, 2002, as declared on September 6, 2002. On

HARRIS PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

September 12, 2002, the Company paid a cash dividend of $130 thousand on the
outstanding common shares to the stockholder of record on September 4, 2002, as
declared on September 4, 2002. This dividend completed the 2001 REIT tax
compliance requirements. On September 30, 2001, the Company paid a cash dividend
of $0.46094 per share on outstanding preferred shares to the stockholders of
record on September 15, 2001, as declared on August 30, 2001. On a year-to-date
basis, the Company declared and paid $13.8 million of dividends to holders of
preferred shares for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and
2001.

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 asset management requirements are to maintain the
current earning asset portfolio size through the acquisition of additional Notes
or other qualifying assets in order 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 as a result of
repayment of principal balances of individual Securing Mortgage Loans or
maturities or sales of securities. The payment of dividends on the Preferred
Shares is made from legally available funds, 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, mortgage-backed securities
and other earning assets. 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% of its adjusted REIT ordinary taxable income, as provided
for under the Internal Revenue 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.

As presented in the accompanying Statements of Cash Flows, the primary
sources of funds in addition to $65.9 million provided from operations during
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $19.2 million provided by
principal payments on the Notes and $589.4 million from the maturities and sales
of securities available-for-sale. In the prior period ended September 30, 2001,
the primary sources of funds other than $23.6 million from operations were $34.3
million provided by principal payments on the Notes and $387.4 million from the
maturities and sales of securities available-for-sale. The primary uses of funds
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $667.1 million for purchases
of securities available-for-sale and $13.8 million in preferred stock dividends
paid. For the prior year's quarter ended September 30, 2001, the primary uses of
funds were $413.3 million for purchases of securities available-for-sale and
$13.8 million in preferred stock dividends paid.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk.
There have been no material changes in market risk or the manner in which the
Company manages market risk since December 31, 2001.

HARRIS PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

OTHER MATTERS

As of September 30, 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.

HARRIS TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Harris Trust and Savings Bank (the "Bank") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Harris Bankcorp, Inc. ("Bankcorp"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankmont
Financial Corp. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of Montreal). The
consolidated financial statements of the Bank 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 year's financial statements to the current year's presentation.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management from
the books and records of the Bank, without audit by independent certified public
accountants. However, these statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of
the results for the interim periods presented.

Because the results of operations are so closely related to and responsive
to changes in economic conditions, the results for any interim period are not
necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire year.

2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Bank and certain of its 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 consolidated
financial position.

3. CASH FLOWS

For purposes of the Bank's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash and
cash equivalents is defined to include cash and demand balances due from banks.
Cash interest payments (net of amounts capitalized) for the nine months ended
September 30 totaled $209.9 million and $530.0 million in 2002 and 2001,
respectively. Cash income tax payments over the same periods totaled $26.9
million and $62.0 million, respectively.

4. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

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. The Bank has an unidentifiable intangible asset that is accounted for
in accordance with SFAS No. 72, "Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking
or Thrift Institutions." This asset is excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 142
and continues to be amortized, including amortization of $2.35 million in third
quarter 2002. Effective October 1, 2002, a new accounting standard, SFAS No.
147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions," will require that this
unidentifiable intangible asset be reclassified to goodwill and no longer be
amortized starting in fourth quarter 2002. Under the transitional requirements
of SFAS No. 147, the first three quarters of 2002 will be restated to reflect
the reversal of previously amortized goodwill in those quarters. The impact for
each of these three quarters will be $2.35 million ($1.4 million after tax). The
goodwill will be subject to the ongoing impairment testing required by current
accounting standards.

Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 and as of September 30, 2002, the Bank had no
goodwill.

For the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and September 30,
2001, the Bank had no goodwill amortization expense.

As of September 30, 2002, the gross carrying amount and accumulated
amortization of the Bank's amortizable intangible assets were $339.9 million and
$148.1 million, respectively.

HARRIS TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

Total amortization expense for the Bank's intangible assets was $6.4
million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 and $18.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002.

Estimated intangible asset amortization expense for the years ending
December 31, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 is $15.9 million, $16.1 million,
$16.3 million, $16.5 million and $16.7 million, respectively. The estimates
exclude amortization expense associated with the unidentifiable intangible asset
currently accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 72, which will be accounted
for under SFAS No. 147 as of October 1, 2002.

HARRIS TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK AND SUBSIDIARIES

FINANCIAL REVIEW

THIRD QUARTER 2002 COMPARED WITH THIRD QUARTER 2001

SUMMARY

The Bank had third quarter 2002 net income of $48.6 million. Third quarter
2001 results were impacted by a special provision for loan losses of $121
million pre-tax. Including the effect of this special provision, the Bank had a
net loss of $44.8 million in third quarter 2001. Excluding the impact of the
$121 million special provision for loan losses, earnings increased $15.4 million
from third quarter 2001.

Cash ROE was 15.52 percent in the current quarter compared to 10.62 percent
one year earlier, excluding the special loan loss provision. Excluding the
unrealized gains and losses on the securities portfolio recorded directly to
equity and the special loan loss provision, cash ROE was 16.04 percent compared
to 10.76 percent last year. Cash ROA was 1.18 percent compared to 0.73 a year
ago, excluding the special provision.

Third quarter net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis was
$114.5 million, down $8.9 million or 7 percent from $123.4 million in 2001's
third quarter. Average earning assets decreased 12 percent to $15.28 billion
from $17.30 billion in 2001, primarily attributable to a decrease of $859
million in average loans and $1.2 billion in the investment portfolio. Net
interest margin rose from 2.84 percent in the year-ago quarter to 2.98 percent
currently, reflecting the impact of the declining interest rate environment
during 2001 and relatively higher levels of retail loans and deposits compared
to wholesale positions.

The third quarter provision for loan losses was $8.1 million compared to
$146.1 million, including the $121 million special provision, in the third
quarter of 2001. Net charge-offs decreased to $17.6 million from $28.2 million
in the prior year. Most of the decrease resulted from lower commercial loan
write-offs.

Third quarter noninterest income of $109.0 million increased $17.1 million
from the same quarter last year. Growth in noninterest income resulted from a
$15.0 million increase in net gains from sales of investment securities and
higher service charges on deposits amounting to $3.8 million.

Third quarter 2002 noninterest expenses of $144.1 million increased $1.1
million or 1 percent from the year ago quarter.

Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2002 were $171 million or 1.82
percent of total loans, down from $181 million or 1.91 percent at June 30, 2002,
and $193 million or 1.84 percent a year ago. At September 30, 2002, the
allowance for possible loan losses was $209 million, equal to 2.22 percent of
loans outstanding, compared to $231 million or 2.21 percent at the end of third
quarter 2001. As a result, the ratio of the allowance for possible loan losses
to nonperforming assets increased from 120 percent at September 30, 2001 to 122
percent at September 30, 2002.

At September 30, 2002, Tier 1 capital of the Bank amounted to $1.58
billion, up from $1.55 billion one year earlier. The regulatory leverage capital
ratio was 8.98 percent for the third quarter of 2002 compared to 7.78 percent in
the same quarter of 2001. The Bank's capital ratio exceeds the prescribed
regulatory minimum for banks. The Bank's September 30, 2002 Tier 1 and total
risk-based capital ratios were 10.06 percent and 12.49 percent compared to
respective ratios of 9.25 percent and 11.72 percent at September 30, 2001. The
Bank's capital ratios exceed the prescribed regulatory minimum for banks.

HARRIS TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK AND SUBSIDIARIES

FINANCIAL REVIEW -- (CONTINUED)

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 COMPARED WITH 2001

SUMMARY

The Bank had net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 of
$136.9 million. Year-to-year comparative results were affected by a special loan
loss provision of $121 million in third quarter 2001. Excluding the impact of
the special provision, earnings grew 14 percent for the first nine months of
2002.

Cash ROE was 14.55 percent in the current year, up from 13.09 percent last
year, excluding the special loan loss provision. Excluding the unrealized gains
and losses on the securities portfolio recorded directly to equity and the
special provision, cash ROE increased 171 basis points from last year. Cash ROA
was 1.11 percent compared to 0.86 a year ago, excluding the special provision.

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis was $350.0 million,
down $14.0 million or 4 percent from $364.0 million in 2001's year-to-date
period. Average earning assets decreased 12 percent to $15.47 billion from
$17.66 billion in 2001, primarily attributable to a $838 million decrease in
average loans and $1.5 billion decrease in the investment portfolio, which was
somewhat offset by an increase of $192 million in money market assets. Net
interest margin rose from 2.75 percent in 2001 to 3.02 percent currently,
primarily reflecting the impact of the declining interest rate environment in
2001.

The year-to-date 2002 provision for loan losses of $58.4 million was down
from $184.3 million a year ago, which included the $121 million special
provision. Net charge-offs were $76.6 million, an increase of $4.7 million from
last year, primarily reflecting an increase in commercial loan write-offs.

Noninterest income of $320.0 million increased $48.6 million from the same
period last year. Most of this increase resulted from additional net gains from
securities sales of $35.8 million and higher service charges on deposits
amounting to $19.1 million.

Noninterest expenses of $411.5 million increased $11.5 million or 3 percent
from the year ago period. Income tax expense increased $59.7 million, reflecting
substantially higher pretax income.
