HARRIS PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Harris Preferred Capital Corporation (the "Company") 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 issued by Harris Trust
and Savings Bank (the "Bank") secured by real estate mortgage assets 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 trust. The
Company expects to be subject to tax as a REIT under 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 distributes 95% of its earnings to its
stockholders and maintains its qualification as a REIT. All of the shares of the
Company's common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), are
owned by 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 7 3/8% Noncumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Preferred
Shares"), $1.00 par value, are 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 consummated 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 (the "Notes") from the Bank and $135 million of
mortgage-backed securities at their estimated fair value.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
have been made to the accompanying statements for the period from inception
(January 2, 1998) through March 31, 1998, and all adjustments are of a normal
and recurring nature.


2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 March
31, 1998, no allowance for possible loan losses was recorded under this policy.




                                     Page 6


<PAGE>   8



INCOME TAXES

The Company expects to elect to be taxed as a REIT commencing with its taxable
year ending 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 to the extent it distributes 95% of its income to stockholders and as
long as certain assets, income and stock ownership tests are met. Accordingly,
no provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial
statements.

SECURITIES

The Company classifies all securities as held-to-maturity or as
available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value
with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of
stockholders' equity. There were no held-to-maturity securities at March 31,
1998.

Interest income on securities, including amortization of discount or premium, is
included in earnings. Realized gains and losses, as a result of portfolio
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 its
parent under agreements to resell identical securities. The amounts advanced
under these agreements represent short-term loans and are reflected as
receivables in the Balance Sheet. Securities purchased under agreement to resell
totaled $7 million at March 31, 1998. 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.

MANAGEMENT'S ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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 PARENT

After capitalization on February 11, 1998, proceeds 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
collateralizing mortgage loans.

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, with any servicing guidelines promulgated by the Company and, in the
case of residential mortgage loans, with Federal National Mortgage Association
("Fannie Mae") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") guidelines
and procedures.


                                     Page 7


<PAGE>   9



The balance of securing mortgage loans at March 31, 1998 was $415 million. The
weighted average interest rate on those loans was 7.387% at March 31, 1998.

None of the mortgage loans collateralizing the Notes was on nonaccrual status
at March 31, 1998.

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 the 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 $241 million and $80 million, respectively, as of March 31, 1998.

4.       SECURITIES

Mortgage-backed securities represent Government National Mortgage Association 
6 1/2% Platinum Certificates. The fair value, amortized cost and gross and net
unrealized losses of such securities aggregated $133.2 million, $133.7 million
and $(.56) million, respectively, as of March 31, 1998. The contractual         
maturity  is November 15, 2027. 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.


5.       COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK

On February 11, 1998, the Company issued 10,000,000 Preferred Shares 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 dividend, if any, to the date of redemption. 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 of each year. Dividends paid during the quarter ended March 31,
1998 to the holders of the Preferred Shares totaled $2,560,800.

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. No Common Stock dividends were declared or paid during the
quarter ended March 31, 1998.


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 has an initial term of one year and may be renewed for
additional one-year periods. The Bank is entitled to receive an advisory fee
equal to $50,000 per year, payable in equal quarterly installments.

The securing mortgage loans are serviced by the Bank pursuant to the terms of a
servicing agreement ("the Servicing Agreement"). The Bank will receive 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, with any
servicing guidelines promulgated by the Company and, in the case of the securing
mortgage loans, with Fannie Mae and FHLMC guidelines and procedures.

OVERVIEW

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
assets consisting of a limited recourse note or notes issued by the Bank
secured by real estate mortgage assets and other obligations secured by real
property, as well as certain other qualifying REIT assets. The Company expects
to qualify as a REIT under the Code, and will generally not be subject to
federal income tax to the extent that it distributes 95% of its earnings to its
stockholders and maintains its qualification as a REIT. All of the shares of
the Company's Common Stock, are owned by 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. The
Company was formed by the Bank to provide investors with the opportunity to
invest in residential mortgage 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 issued, in the Offering, 10,000,000 Preferred
Shares, $1.00 par value, which raised $250 million less $7.9 million 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the period from inception (January 2, 1998) through March 31, 1998, the
Company reported net income of $4.2 million.

The Company used the proceeds from its offering of Preferred Shares, coupled
with a capital contribution from the Bank, to purchase $356 million of Notes and
$135 million par value of mortgage-backed securities at an estimated fair value
of $134 million. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had $349 million invested in
notes. Management intends to continue to reinvest principal collections in
notes issued by the Bank secured by real estate mortgage assets, residential 
mortgage loans to be purchased from either the Bank or its affiliates on a 
periodic basis, or mortgage-backed securities.

Interest income on the Notes totaled $3.1 million and yielded 6.67% on average
principal outstanding. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities
available-for-sale was $1.2 million resulting in a yield of 6.83%. The average
Notes and securities available-for-sale balances for the period from February
11, 1998 through March 31, 1998 were $352 million and $134 million,
respectively. The average outstanding balance of the securing mortgage loans for
the same period was $430 million. There were no Company borrowings during the
quarter.

Operating expenses totaling $172 thousand were comprised of loan servicing fees
paid to parent, advisory fees paid to parent and general and administrative
expenses. Loan servicing expenses of $141 thousand were based on an annual
servicing fee




                                     Page 9

rate of 0.25% of the outstanding principal balances of the securing mortgage
loans. Advisory fees paid to parent for the three months ended March 31, 1998
totaled $7 thousand. General and administration expenses were $24 thousand.

On February 26, 1998, the Company declared a cash dividend of $.2561 per share
on the outstanding Preferred Shares to the stockholders of record on March 15,
1998. The dividend of $2.6 million was subsequently paid to holders of Preferred
Shares on March 30, 1998.

At March 31, 1998, there were no securing mortgage loans on nonaccrual status.

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.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

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 the 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 $241 million and $80 million, respectively, at March 31, 1998.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT

The object 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
mortgagees. 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 95% of its adjusted REIT taxable income, as provided for under the Code,
to its common and preferred stockholders. The Company currently expects to
distribute dividends annually equal to 95% or more of its adjusted REIT 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 Statement of Cash Flows, the primary sources of
funds during the period from inception (January 2, 1998) through March 31, 1998,
were $250 million from the issuance of Preferred Shares and $241 million
additional capital contributed by the Bank, net of acquisition costs. Additional
significant sources of funds were $7 million provided by principal payments on
the notes. The primary uses of funds were $349 million in purchases of Notes,
net of repayments, $134 million in purchases of mortgage-backed securities, and
$2.6 million in preferred stock dividends paid.

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS     Harris Trust and Savings Bank and Subsidiaries
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Harris Trust and Savings Bank and
                         Subsidiaries (the "Bank") is a wholly-owned subsidiary
                         of Harris Bankcorp, Inc., 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 years' 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 is a defendant 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
                         Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are
                         defined to include cash and demand balances due from
                         banks. Cash interest payments (net of any amounts
                         capitalized) for the three months ended March 31,
                         totaled $131,229,000 and $124,418,000 in 1998 and 1997,
                         respectively. Cash income tax payments over the same
                         periods totaled $4,872,000 and $362,000 respectively.

FINANCIAL REVIEW                  Harris Trust and Savings Bank and Subsidiaries
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        FIRST QUARTER 1998
        COMPARED WITH
        FIRST QUARTER 1997
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        SUMMARY   The Bank's first quarter 1998 net income was $36.8 million, an
                  increase of $11.2 million from first quarter 1997. For the
                  current quarter, annualized return on average common
                  stockholder's equity was 11.70 percent compared to 8.60
                  percent in the first quarter of 1997. Annualized return on
                  average assets was 0.95 percent compared to 0.72 percent a
                  year ago. This quarter was affected by the January, 1998 sale
                  of the Bank's credit card portfolio resulting in a pretax gain
                  of $12.0 million. In addition, the Bank recognized a one-time
                  pretax charge of $5.6 million for certain process improvements
                  and system conversions, including write-offs of discontinued
                  systems.

                           First quarter net interest income on a fully taxable
                  equivalent basis was $98.1 million, down $9.4 million or 9
                  percent from $107.5 million in 1997's first quarter. At the
                  time of the January credit card sale, outstanding credit card
                  loans amounted to approximately $700 million, resulting in a
                  reduction in net interest income compared to first quarter
                  1997. Average earning assets rose 8 percent to $13.24 billion
                  from $12.27 billion in 1997, primarily attributable to
                  increases in portfolio securities available-for-sale and
                  average loans of $836 million and $132 million, respectively.
                  Excluding the credit card portfolio, average loans rose $1.05
                  billion or 15 percent. Commercial, installment and residential
                  real estate lending were all strong contributors to this
                  growth. Net interest margin declined to 3.00 percent from 3.55
                  percent in the same quarter last year. The decline in the net
                  interest margin primarily reflects the impact of the sale of
                  the credit card loans earlier this quarter.

                           The first quarter provision for credit losses of $5.0
                  million was down $10.4 million from $15.4 million in the first
                  quarter of 1997. Net charge-offs decreased from $12.9 million
                  to $3.4 million, primarily reflecting the sale of the credit
                  card portfolio.

                           Noninterest income increased $23.4 million to $93.9
                  million for first quarter 1998 from the same quarter last
                  year. During first quarter 1998, the Bank sold its credit card
                  portfolio resulting in a pretax gain of $12.0 million. The
                  $12.0 million gain on the sale was partially offset by
                  writedowns in the value of certain accounts in the portfolio
                  prior to sale in addition to lower credit card fees, together
                  amounting to $8.5 million. In the current quarter, service
                  charge fees rose by $3.4 million and trust and investment
                  management fees improved by $2.6 million compared to first
                  quarter 1997. Net gains from debt portfolio securities sales
                  were $8.0 million in the current quarter compared to $1.2
                  million a year ago. Foreign exchange income increased $0.8
                  million and trading income increased $0.6 million. Excluding
                  the effect of the writedown in the value of certain credit
                  card accounts, other income including syndication fees, gains
                  from mortgage sales, foreign fees, income from bank-owned life
                  insurance and other miscellaneous items, increased $5.7
                  million over the previous year.

                           First quarter 1998 noninterest expenses of $128.8
                  million rose $7.3 million from first quarter last year.
                  Excluding the one-time cost for restructuring charges of $5.6
                  million, total expenses increased $1.7 million or 1 percent
                  compared to a year ago. Income tax expense rose by 43 percent,
                  reflecting higher pretax income.

                           Nonperforming assets at March 31, 1998 were $18
                  million or 0.2 percent of total loans, compared to $8 million
                  or 0.1 percent at December 31, 1997, and $25 million or 0.3
                  percent a year ago. At March 31, 1998, the allowance for
                  possible loan losses was $101 million, equal to 1.2 percent of
                  loans outstanding, compared to $111 million or 1.3 percent at
                  the end of first quarter 1997. As a result, the ratio of the
                  allowance for possible loan losses to nonperforming assets
                  increased from 444 percent at March 31, 1997 to 561 percent at
                  March 31, 1998.

FINANCIAL REVIEW                  Harris Trust and Savings Bank and Subsidiaries
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        FIRST QUARTER 1998
        COMPARED WITH
        FIRST QUARTER 1997 (CONTINUED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                               At March 31, 1998 equity capital of the Bank
                         amounted to $1.25 billion, down from $1.28 billion one
                         year earlier. The regulatory leverage capital ratio was
                         7.98 percent for the first quarter of 1998 compared to
                         6.59 percent in the same quarter of 1997. The Bank's
                         capital ratio exceeds the prescribed regulatory minimum
                         for banks. The Bank's March 31, 1998 Tier 1 and total
                         risk-based capital ratios were 8.70 percent and 11.72
                         percent compared to respective ratios of 7.19 percent
                         and 10.34 percent at March 31, 1997.
