RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
 
     The Company's net income for the first quarter of 1999 was $7.4 million
compared to $4.2 million in the first quarter of 1998.
 
     First quarter 1999 interest income on the Notes totaled $3.2 million and
yielded 6.4% on $200 million of average principal outstanding for the quarter
compared to $3.1 million and a 6.67% yield on $352 million average principal
outstanding from February 11, 1998 through March 31, 1998. Interest income on
securities available-for-sale for the current quarter was $4.2 million resulting
in a yield of 6.48% on an average balance of $261 million, compared to $1.2
million with a yield of 6.83% on an average balance of $134 million for the same
period a year ago. The average outstanding balance of the Securing Mortgage
Loans for first quarter 1999 and 1998 was $245 million and $430 million,
respectively. There were no Company borrowings during the quarter.
 
     First quarter 1999 operating expenses totaled $238 thousand, an increase of
$66 thousand or 38% from the first quarter of 1998. Loan servicing expenses
totaled $151 thousand, an increase of $10 thousand or 7% from the prior year's
first quarter. Advisory fees of $13 thousand increased by $6 thousand or 86%
over first quarter 1998. General and administrative expenses totaled $74
thousand, and increase of $50 thousand or 208% over first quarter 1998.
Generally, the higher operating expenses in first quarter 1999 are attributable
to substantial operating activities not commencing until February 11, 1998.
 
     On March 30, 1999, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.46094 per share
on outstanding preferred shares to the stockholders of record on March 15, 1999,
as declared on March 9, 1999. On February 26, 1998, the Company declared a cash
dividend of $0.2561 per share on outstanding preferred shares to stockholders of
record on March 15, 1998. The dividend of $2.6 million was subsequently paid on
March 30, 1998. On January 28, 1999, the Company paid cash dividends of $9.7
million on the outstanding common shares to the stockholder of record on
December 30, 1998, as declared on December 10, 1998.
 
     At March 31, 1999 and 1998, 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.

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 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 Internal Revenue 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 Statements of Cash Flows, the primary
sources of funds during the current quarter were $25 million provided by
principal payments on the Notes and $4 million from the maturities of securities
available-for-sale. In the prior year's quarter ended March 31, 1998, the
primary sources of funds 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 $30 million provided by
principal payments on the Notes, net of the change in securing mortgage
collections due from the Bank. The primary uses of funds for the first quarter
1999 were $40 million in purchases of securities available-for-sale and $4.6
million and $9.7 million in preferred stock dividends and common stock dividends
paid, respectively. For the prior year's first quarter the primary uses of funds
were $349 million in purchases of Notes, net of repayments and the change in
securing mortgage collections due from the Bank, $134 million in purchases of
securities available-for-sale, and $2.6 million in preferred stock dividends
paid.
 
MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
 
     As described in the Company's 1998 Form 10-K, 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, 1998.
 
YEAR 2000
 
     A critical issue has emerged in the REIT industry and for the economy
overall regarding how existing application software programs, operating systems
and other systems can accommodate the date value for the year 2000. The year
2000 issue is pervasive, as almost all date-sensitive systems will be affected
to some degree by the rollover of the two-digit year from 99 to 00. Potential
risks of not addressing this issue include business interruption, financial
loss, reputation loss and/or legal liability.
 
     The Company utilizes and is dependent upon the Bank's data processing
systems and software to conduct its business. Management of the Company and the
Bank recognize the need to ensure that the Company's operations will not be
adversely impacted by year 2000 issues and is managing the related operational
risk accordingly. The Bank and its ultimate parent company, Bank of Montreal,
have undertaken an enterprise-wide initiative to address the year 2000 issue and
have developed a comprehensive plan to prepare, as appropriate, the Bank's
computer and other systems to recognize the date change on January 1, 2000. An
assessment of the readiness of third parties that the Bank interfaces with, such
as vendors, counterparties, customers, payment systems, and others, is ongoing
to mitigate the potential risks that year 2000 poses to the
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   10
 
Bank. In addition, the Bank is assessing the readiness of companies that have
borrowed from it to ensure that incremental year 2000-related credit risks are
addressed as part of the Bank's existing credit risk management framework. The
Bank's objective is to try to ensure that all aspects of the year 2000 issue
affecting the Bank, including those related to the efforts of third parties,
will be fully resolved in time. However, it is not possible to be sure that all
aspects of the year 2000 issue that may affect the Bank, including those related
to the effects of customers, suppliers, or other third parties with whom the
Bank conducts business, will not have a material impact on the Bank's operations
or financial condition. The Bank has consistently maintained contingency plans
for mission critical systems and business processes to protect the Bank's assets
against unplanned events that would prevent normal operations. The millennium
changeover presents unique risks, some of which would not be effectively
addressed by the existing plans. The Bank is examining these risks and
developing additional plans to mitigate the effect of potential impacts and
ensure continuity of operation throughout the year 2000 and beyond. The use of
the existing contingency planning infrastructure will assist in providing
optimum coverage and re-usability of existing arrangements and responsibility
assignments. The Bank completed all year 2000-specific contingency plans by
April 30, 1999 with related testing to continue throughout the year.
 
     Emfisys, the Bank's operations group, acting in support of all areas of the
Bank, has overall responsibility for converting systems to accommodate the
calendar change. Each of the Bank's business units is responsible for
remediation of the assets used to conduct its operations and provide services or
products to its clients, while attempting to ensure that both the technical and
the business risks imposed by the year 2000 issue are addressed. A governance
structure has been established to deal with this issue, which includes a Year
2000 Project Office and regular monitoring of progress by the Bank's Risk
Management Committee, Year 2000 Steering Committees and the Board of Directors.
 
     The process for year 2000 compliance is following four major steps:
inventory, impact assessment and plan, implementation and integration testing.
The implementation step includes verification, conversion and replacement or
retirement of the asset. If an asset is not retired, it is tested and verified,
and only once it is verified does it progress to the integration testing step.
Integration testing is to confirm that the business functions work accurately
and without disruption under year 2000-specific dates, with all applications
functioning correctly with interfaces and infrastructure. As of December 31,
1998, the Bank had substantially completed the implementation of critical
systems. The implementation of non-critical business assets and the integration
testing of critical systems is planned to be completed by June 30, 1999. The
costs incurred in addressing the year 2000 problem are borne by the Bank.

                 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., 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 its subsidiaries are 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 is defined to include cash and demand balances due from banks.
Cash interest payments (net of amounts capitalized) for the three months ended
March 31, totaled $142.7 million and $131.2 million in 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Cash income tax payments over the same periods totaled $9.3
million and $4.9 million, respectively.
 
4. ACCOUNTING CHANGES
 
     In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It
requires all derivatives to be recognized as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and to be measured at fair value. The Statement
is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15,
1999. The Bank is in the process of assessing the impact of adopting this
Statement on its financial position and results of operations.

                 HARRIS TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
                                FINANCIAL REVIEW
 
FIRST QUARTER 1999 COMPARED WITH FIRST QUARTER 1998
 
SUMMARY
 
     The Bank had first quarter 1999 earnings of $37.1 million compared to $36.8
million in the year ago quarter. For the current quarter, annualized return on
average common stockholder's equity was 11.35 percent compared to 11.70 percent
in the first quarter of 1998. Annualized return on average assets was 0.84
percent compared to 0.95 percent a year ago.
 
     First quarter net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis was
$94.4 million, down $3.7 million or 4 percent from $98.1 million in the year ago
quarter. At the time of the January 1998 credit card sale, outstanding credit
card loans amounted to approximately $700 million, resulting in a reduction in
net interest income compared to first quarter 1998. Average earning assets rose
13 percent to $14.95 billion from $13.24 billion in 1998, primarily attributable
to an increase of $1.03 billion in average loans and $1.21 billion in the
investment securities portfolio, somewhat offset by a decline in interest
bearing deposits at banks of $407 million. Commercial loans and residential
mortgages were the most significant contributors to this growth. Net interest
margin declined to 2.56 percent from 3.00 percent in the same quarter last year
primarily reflecting the impact of the sale of the credit card business in first
quarter 1998 and the continued rapid growth in new business.
 
     The first quarter provision for loan losses of $5.9 million was up $0.9
million from $5.0 million in the first quarter of 1998. Net charge-offs
increased from $3.4 million to $4.2 million, primarily reflecting increased
writeoffs in the commercial loan portfolio.
 
     Noninterest income increased $3.2 million or 3 percent to $97.1 million for
first quarter 1999 from the same quarter last year. In the current quarter,
service charge fees rose by $1.1 million and trust and investment management
fees improved by $2.7 million compared to first quarter 1998, while money market
and bond trading income increased $0.4 million. Net gains from securities sales
of $7.6 million were essentially unchanged from the year ago quarter. Other
sources of income, including syndication fees, revenue from bank-owned insurance
investments, gains on mortgage sales and other fees, increased $11.7 million
(excluding the credit card gain).
 
     First quarter 1999 noninterest expenses of $131.6 million increased $2.8
million or 2 percent from the year ago quarter.
 
     Nonperforming assets at March 31, 1999 were $43 million or 0.5 percent of
total loans, compared to $16 million or 0.2 percent at December 31, 1998, and
$18 million or 0.2 percent a year ago. At March 31, 1999, the allowance for
possible loan losses was $110 million, equal to 1.2 percent of loans
outstanding, compared to $101 million or 1.2 percent at the end of first quarter
1998. As a result, the ratio of the allowance for possible loan losses to
nonperforming assets decreased from 576 percent at March 31, 1998 to 254 percent
at March 31, 1999.
 
     At March 31, 1999 equity capital of the Bank amounted to $1.31 billion, up
from $1.25 billion one year earlier. The regulatory leverage capital ratio was
7.45 percent for the first quarter of 1999 compared to 7.98 percent in the same
quarter of 1998. The Bank's capital ratio exceeds the prescribed regulatory
minimum for banks. The Bank's March 31, 1999 Tier 1 and total risk-based capital
ratios were 8.59 percent and 10.77 percent compared to respective ratios of 8.70
percent and 11.72 percent at March 31, 1998.
