INFORMATION STATEMENT

HARBOR GLOBAL COMPANY LTD.
COMMON SHARES

This information statement is being furnished to stockholders of The
Pioneer Group, Inc. in connection with the contemplated distribution by Pioneer
Group of common shares of its wholly owned subsidiary, Harbor Global Company
Ltd., to its stockholders. AT THE TIME OF THE DISTRIBUTION, YOU WILL BE ENTITLED
TO RECEIVE ONE HARBOR GLOBAL COMMON SHARE FOR EVERY FIVE SHARES OF PIONEER GROUP
COMMON STOCK HELD BY YOU AT THAT TIME. Following the distribution, all of the
outstanding Harbor Global common shares will be held pro rata by the
stockholders of Pioneer Group.

Pioneer Group will distribute the shares of Harbor Global in connection
with the acquisition of Pioneer Group by UniCredito Italiano S.p.A., a
corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Italy. The acquisition
of Pioneer Group will be effected by a merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of
UniCredito Italiano with and into Pioneer Group. Pioneer Group will survive the
merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of UniCredito Italiano.

As a condition to closing the merger, Pioneer Group will transfer some of
its businesses and assets to Harbor Global and, before closing the merger,
distribute Harbor Global common shares to Pioneer Group stockholders of record.
At the time of the distribution, the Harbor Global assets will consist primarily
of the following businesses and assets currently owned or operated by Pioneer
Group:

- real estate management and investment management operations in Russia;
- Polish and Eastern European venture capital investment and management
operations;
- Polish real estate management operations;
- timber harvesting and sales in Russia;
- gold exploration operations in Russia;
- the proceeds from the sale of Pioneer Group's gold mining operations in
Ghana; and
- $22.6 million in cash.

Harbor Global will seek to liquidate its assets in a timely fashion on
economically advantageous terms.

YOU WILL NOT PAY FOR THE HARBOR GLOBAL COMMON SHARES YOU WILL RECEIVE IN
THE DISTRIBUTION, BUT THE DISTRIBUTION WILL BE TAXABLE TO YOU. FOR FEDERAL
INCOME TAX PURPOSES, PIONEER GROUP CURRENTLY ESTIMATES THAT IT WILL REPORT THAT
THE HARBOR GLOBAL COMMON SHARES RECEIVED IN THE DISTRIBUTION HAVE A VALUE OF
APPROXIMATELY $7.50 TO $11.25 PER SHARE WHICH REFLECTS AMONG OTHER THINGS, A
DISCOUNT FOR ILLIQUIDITY. In addition, Harbor Global intends to be treated as a
partnership for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, Harbor
Global expects that for United States federal income tax purposes you will be
treated as a partner in Harbor Global, and will recognize a proportionate share
of Harbor Global's income, gain, loss and credit, determined in accordance with
your interest in Harbor Global.

The Harbor Global common shares are registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on a registration statement on Form 10 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, effective as of [ ], 2000, and are
transferable. However, there is no current public trading market for Harbor
Global common shares, and Harbor Global common shares will not be listed on a
securities exchange or on The Nasdaq Stock Market(R). Furthermore, Harbor Global
does not intend to take any action to facilitate the development of an active
trading market.

The distribution record date will be the closing date of the merger. Harbor
Global expects the distribution to occur immediately prior to the closing of the
merger. The distribution is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver of all
conditions to the obligations of Pioneer Group to consummate the merger provided
for in the merger agreement dated as of May 14, 2000 between Pioneer Group and
UniCredito Italiano, including approval of the merger by Pioneer Group
stockholders. The merger agreement is attached as Annex A to the merger proxy
statement to which this information statement is attached as Annex B.

IN REVIEWING THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE
MATTERS DESCRIBED UNDER THE CAPTION "RISK FACTORS."

NO SEPARATE VOTE OF SHAREHOLDERS IS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
DISTRIBUTION.

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY WITH RESPECT TO THIS DISTRIBUTION, AND
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED
UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION
TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

The date of this information statement is August , 2000.

SUMMARY

This summary does not contain all of the information that may be important
to you. You should read this information statement in its entirety, including
"Risk Factors" and the financial statements of Harbor Global and the
accompanying notes which appear elsewhere in this information statement.
References in this information statement to "Harbor Global" refer to Harbor
Global Company Ltd., and references to "Pioneer Group" refer to The Pioneer
Group, Inc.

HARBOR GLOBAL COMPANY LTD.

Harbor Global Company Ltd. is a newly formed Bermuda limited duration
company created to:

- receive various businesses and assets currently owned or operated by
Pioneer Group;

- liquidate its assets in a timely fashion on economically advantageous
terms;

- operate its assets as going concern businesses until they are liquidated;
and

- after satisfying its liabilities, distribute any remaining proceeds to
its shareholders.

Harbor Global's memorandum of association provides that the liquidation of
its assets must be completed no later than the earlier of the fifth anniversary
of the distribution by Pioneer Group of Harbor Global common shares to its
shareholders or the distribution by Harbor Global of its assets to its
shareholders. If Harbor Global has not liquidated all of its assets before the
fifth anniversary of the distribution date, the Harbor Global board of directors
may authorize the company to continue to operate its assets for up to three
additional one year periods.

At the time of the distribution, Harbor Global's assets will consist
primarily of the following businesses and assets, each of which is currently
owned or operated by Pioneer Group:

- real estate management and investment management operations in Russia;

- Polish and Eastern European venture capital investment and management
operations;

- Polish real estate management operations;

- timber harvesting and sales in Russia;

- gold exploration operations in Russia;

- the proceeds from the sale of Pioneer Group's gold mining operations in
Ghana; and

- $22.6 million in cash.

After the distribution, Stephen G. Kasnet will be the President and Chief
Executive Officer, and Donald H. Hunter will be the Chief Operating Officer and
Chief Financial Officer of Harbor Global. Mr. Kasnet is currently the President
and Mr. Hunter is currently the Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice
President of Pioneer Global Investments, a division of Pioneer Group. As
officers of Pioneer Global Investments, Mr. Kasnet and Mr. Hunter currently
operate substantially all of the businesses that Harbor Global will own or
operate following the distribution. Harbor Global is expected to enter into an
administration and liquidation agreement with Calypso Management LLC under which
Calypso Management will manage the liquidation of Harbor Global and operate its
assets as going concern businesses pending their liquidation. Calypso Management
is owned and operated by Mr. Kasnet and Mr. Hunter. Mr. Kasnet is the President
and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Hunter is the Chief Operating Officer and
Chief Financial Officer of Calypso Management.

Harbor Global determined that Mr. Kasnet and Mr. Hunter would receive a portion
of the net proceeds distributed in connection with the liquidation. Calypso
Management was created, in large part, to provide a vehicle for Mr. Kasnet and
Mr. Hunter to allocate the incentive compensation they receive among themselves
and other employees of Calypso Management who provide valuable assistance in
connection with the administration and liquidation of Harbor Global's assets and
to establish an independent business that could be owned by Mr. Kasnet and Mr.
Hunter and continue in existence after the liquidation of Harbor Global. Harbor
Global will pay the operating expenses of Calypso Management and, in general, as
compensation for Calypso Management's services, Harbor Global will pay Calypso
Management up to 10% of the net proceeds distributed from the liquidation of
Harbor Global's assets. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" in
this information statement for more information about the administration and
liquidation agreement.

The principal executive offices of Harbor Global are located at 60 State
Street, 16th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02109-1820, and its telephone number
is (617) 422-4804.

THE TRANSACTIONS

The Merger. Harbor Global is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of
Pioneer Group. On May 14, 2000, Pioneer Group entered into a merger agreement
with UniCredito Italiano under which a wholly owned subsidiary of UniCredito
Italiano will merge with and into Pioneer Group. Pioneer Group will survive the
merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of UniCredito Italiano. As a condition to
closing the merger, Pioneer Group has agreed to transfer some of its businesses
and assets to Harbor Global and distribute Harbor Global common shares to
Pioneer Group stockholders immediately prior to closing the merger.

For more information about the merger, the merger agreement and related
matters, you should refer to the merger proxy statement to which this
information statement is attached as Annex B. The merger agreement is attached
as Annex A to the merger proxy statement.

The Distribution. Immediately prior to closing the merger, Pioneer Group
will distribute Harbor Global common shares pro rata to its stockholders.
Following the distribution, all of the outstanding Harbor Global common shares
will be held by the stockholders of Pioneer Group. You will not pay for the
Harbor Global common shares you will receive in the distribution, but the
distribution will be taxable to you. The distribution is summarized below.

Distributing Corporation...... The Pioneer Group, Inc.

Distributed Corporation....... Harbor Global Company Ltd., a Bermuda limited
duration company and currently a wholly owned
subsidiary of Pioneer Group

Securities to be
Distributed................... Approximately 5,397,918 Harbor Global common
shares, based on the number of shares of
Pioneer Group common stock outstanding on July
31, 2000. This amount may increase prior to the
distribution date due to the issuance of shares
of Pioneer Group common stock upon the exercise
of outstanding options. The shares to be
distributed will constitute all of the common
shares of Harbor Global outstanding on the
distribution date.

Distribution Ratio............ You will receive one Harbor Global common share
for every five shares of Pioneer Group common
stock you own on the distribution date.

Fractional Shares Interests... Fractional Harbor Global common shares will not
be distributed. The distribution agent will
aggregate and seek to sell the fractional
shares. The aggregate net cash proceeds, if
any, will be

2
<PAGE> 8

distributed pro rata to you, if you are
entitled to a fractional interest.

Trading Market................ There is no current public trading market for
Harbor Global common shares. The Harbor Global
common shares are registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and are
transferable. However, Harbor Global common
shares will not be listed on a securities
exchange or on The Nasdaq Stock Market(R).
Furthermore, Harbor Global does not intend to
take any action to facilitate the development
of an active trading market. Harbor Global
cannot assure you that you will be able to sell
your Harbor Global common shares, and if a
trading market does develop, Harbor Global
cannot assure you as to the prices at which
Harbor Global common shares will trade.

Distribution Record Date...... The distribution record date will be the
closing date of the merger.

Distribution Date............. The distribution is expected to occur
immediately prior to the closing of the merger.
The merger is expected to close in September
2000.

Conditions to the
Distribution.................. The distribution will only occur if:

- the stockholders of Pioneer Group
approve and adopt the merger agreement
between Pioneer Group and UniCredito
Italiano S.p.A. and the merger;

- Pioneer Group transfers the businesses
and assets specified in the distribution
agreement to Harbor Global;

- all of the conditions to the obligation
of Pioneer Group to close the merger,
other than the condition that the
distribution be completed, are satisfied
or waived by Pioneer Group; and

- no order, injunction or other legal
restraint preventing or prohibiting the
distribution is in effect.

Distribution Agent............ EquiServe Limited Partnership

Dividend Policy............... Harbor Global will distribute the proceeds it
receives from the liquidation of its assets,
net of its expenses, including amounts payable
to Calypso Management under the administration
and liquidation agreement, and net of other
liabilities. The timing and amount of any
distribution will also depend on the financial
position and capital requirements of Harbor
Global and other factors that the Harbor Global
board of directors deems relevant.

Tax Consequences.............. Your receipt of cash and Harbor Global common
shares in connection with the merger and the
distribution will be a taxable transaction or
transactions for United States federal income
tax purposes and may also be subject to tax
under applicable state, local and foreign tax
laws.

For federal income tax purposes, Pioneer Group
currently estimates that it will report that
the Harbor Global common shares received in the
distribution have a value of approximately
$1.50 to $2.25 with respect to each share of
Pioneer Group

3
<PAGE> 9

common stock held at the time of the merger
(equating to a value of the Harbor Global
common shares of approximately $7.50 to $11.25
per share), which reflects, among other things,
a discount for illiquidity. However, the actual
value ascribed to the Harbor Global common
shares for federal income tax purposes may
differ from this estimate due to, among other
things, changes in the value of Harbor Global's
assets between December 31, 1999 and the date
of the distribution and the number of shares of
Pioneer Group common stock outstanding at the
closing date of the merger. Pioneer Group and
Harbor Global will provide you with their
determination of the value of the Harbor Global
common shares you will receive in the
distribution. However, this determination will
not be binding on the Internal Revenue Service,
which may assert a different and possibly
higher value for the Harbor Global common
shares you receive. Accordingly, Harbor Global
cannot assure you as to the exact amount of
income or gain you may recognize as a result of
the merger and the distribution. THE VALUE
ESTIMATED FOR TAX PURPOSES IS NOT NECESSARILY
INDICATIVE OF THE PRICE AT WHICH YOU MAY BE
ABLE TO SELL HARBOR GLOBAL COMMON SHARES OR THE
AMOUNT ULTIMATELY DISTRIBUTED BY HARBOR GLOBAL
TO YOU.

In addition, because Harbor Global intends to
be treated as a partnership for United States
federal income tax purposes, in general, you
will recognize a proportionate share of Harbor
Global's income, gain, loss and credits,
including gain or loss from the sale of Harbor
Global assets, determined in accordance with
your interest in Harbor Global. You may also be
required to recognize a proportionate share of
the income earned by any Harbor Global
subsidiary that is classified as a foreign
personal holding company or a passive foreign
investment company. You are urged to consider
whether making a qualified electing fund
election with respect to each passive foreign
investment company would be beneficial to you.

THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF THE DISTRIBUTION
AND THE MERGER ARE COMPLEX AND WILL DEPEND ON
YOUR PARTICULAR FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU
ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR
REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE
MERGER AND THE DISTRIBUTION, INCLUDING TAX
RETURN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, THE
APPLICABILITY OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND
FOREIGN TAX LAWS, AND THE EFFECT OF ANY
PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE TAX LAWS. For a
discussion of United States federal income tax
consequences of the merger and the
distribution, including the qualified electing
fund election, see the discussion under "The
Distribution -- Material Anticipated United
States Federal Income Tax Consequences" in this
information statement.

Relationship with Pioneer
Group After the
Distribution................ Following the distribution and the merger,
Pioneer Group will not own any Harbor Global
common shares. Harbor Global will operate as an
independent public company, and Pioneer Group
will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of
UniCredito Italiano.

4
<PAGE> 10

However, in connection with the distribution,
Pioneer Group and Harbor Global entered into
the following agreements:

- Distribution agreement, under which:

-- Pioneer Group will transfer some of its
businesses and assets to Harbor Global;

-- Pioneer Group will distribute Harbor
Global common shares to its stockholders
on a pro rata basis;

-- Harbor Global will indemnify Pioneer
Group for liabilities, other than tax
liabilities, incurred by Pioneer Group
relating to the businesses or operations
of the Harbor Global assets; and

-- Pioneer Group will indemnify Harbor
Global for liabilities, other than tax
liabilities, incurred by Harbor Global
relating to the businesses or operations
of the Pioneer Group assets, excluding
the Harbor Global assets.

- Tax separation agreement, under which
Pioneer Group and Harbor Global will
allocate tax liabilities that relate to
periods before and after the distribution
date.

In addition, Pioneer Group and Harbor Global
may enter into an agreement under which Pioneer
Group may agree to provide corporate
administrative, information and technology
systems and other support to Harbor Global for
a limited transition period.

Risk Factors.................. You should carefully read the section entitled
"Risk Factors" in this information statement
which describes risks and uncertainties
associated with the Harbor Global common shares
to be distributed to you.

SUMMARY PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA(1)

The following table presents summary unaudited pro forma financial
information for Harbor Global. The summary pro forma financial data has been
derived from Harbor Global's pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and the year ended December
31, 1999, which are included elsewhere in this information statement. The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations data sets
forth Harbor Global's results of operations for the year ended December 31,
1999, and the six months ended June 30, 2000, and assumes the distribution was
completed on January 1, 1999 or January 1, 2000, as applicable. The pro forma
condensed consolidated balance sheet data sets forth Harbor Global's financial
position at June 30, 2000, and assumes the distribution was completed on June
30, 2000.

The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and upon
certain assumptions that Harbor Global and Pioneer Group believe are reasonable
and which are described in the notes to the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this information statement. The pro forma
condensed consolidated financial data is presented for informational purposes
only and may not be indicative of the results of operations or financial
position that would have occurred had the distribution occurred on the dates
indicated, or which may be obtained in the future, particularly in light of
Harbor Global's intent to liquidate its assets within a limited period of time.
You should read the pro forma condensed consolidated financial data presented
below in connection with the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements and the Consolidated Historical Financial Statements of Harbor Global
and the related notes included in this information statement.

RISK FACTORS

HARBOR GLOBAL DOES NOT HAVE AN OPERATING HISTORY AS AN INDEPENDENT COMPANY.

After the distribution, Pioneer Group will not own any Harbor Global common
shares, and Harbor Global will be an independent public company. Although Harbor
Global will be operated by the same senior management who operated its assets
prior to the distribution date, Harbor Global does not have an operating history
as an independent company. The financial statements included in this information
statement may not necessarily reflect the results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows that would have been achieved had Harbor Global and its
subsidiaries operated as an independent company during the periods presented,
particularly in light of Harbor Global's intent to liquidate its assets within a
limited period of time. In addition, as an independent company, Harbor Global
will not be able to rely on Pioneer Group for financial support or corporate
administrative support. After the distribution date, Harbor Global's operating
businesses will be responsible for obtaining their own financing, and Harbor
Global will be responsible for providing corporate administrative services,
including legal, human resources, information and technology systems and tax and
accounting services.

THERE IS NOT, NOR CAN YOU EXPECT THERE TO BE, AN ACTIVE PUBLIC TRADING MARKET
FOR HARBOR GLOBAL COMMON SHARES.

Prior to the distribution, there has been no public trading market for
Harbor Global common shares. In addition, Harbor Global cannot assure you that
an active public trading market will develop after the distribution because
Harbor Global common shares will not be listed on any securities exchange or on
The Nasdaq Stock Market(R).

Furthermore, Harbor Global does not intend to:

- engage the services of any market maker;

- facilitate the development of an active public trading market in Harbor
Global common shares, or encourage others to do so;

- place any advertisements in the media promoting an investment in Harbor
Global; or

- except as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, collect or
publish information about prices at which Harbor Global common shares may
be traded.

Harbor Global cannot assure you that you will be able to sell the Harbor
Global common shares you will receive in the distribution. If a trading market
does develop, Harbor Global cannot assure you as to the prices at which Harbor
Global common shares will trade.

THE POTENTIAL VALUES TO BE REALIZED UPON THE SALE OR LIQUIDATION OF MOST OF
HARBOR GLOBAL'S ASSETS, IF ANY, ARE SPECULATIVE.

The potential values to be realized upon the sale or liquidation of Harbor
Global's gold exploration operations, Polish real estate management operations,
Russian real estate management and investment management operations and Russian
timber business, if any, are speculative. Although Harbor Global and its
majority owned subsidiary Tas-Yurjah have conducted gold exploration activities
on Tas-Yurjah's concession land, Harbor Global does not have sufficient
information to estimate the value of any proven or probable gold reserves
pursuant to United States reserves standards, and therefore Harbor Global has
not been able to evaluate the economic feasibility of, or begin, extraction
operations. Accordingly, the gold exploration business is not producing a
revenue stream and the value to be realized upon its disposition, if any, is
dependent upon the success of additional development efforts. See
"Business -- Russian Gold Exploration" for more information about Harbor
Global's gold exploration operations.

Harbor Global's real estate management business consists principally of the
management of a pooled investment fund, the Polish Real Estate Fund, S.A.
Although Harbor Global believes that the Polish Real Estate Fund could enhance
the future value of its real estate management business, the Polish Real Estate
Fund committed capital is not yet invested in portfolio companies. Accordingly,
the value to be realized

7
<PAGE> 13

upon the disposition of this business, if any, is dependent to a significant
extent upon the success of its future investments, if any. In addition, changes
in real estate values in Poland may also significantly affect the value of this
business. See "Business -- Polish Real Estate" for more information about Harbor
Global's real estate management business.

A significant portion of Harbor Global's Russian real estate management and
investment management operations consists of its approximately 52% interest in
Pioneer First Investment Fund, a company that invests in Russian real estate
and, to a lesser extent, securities of Russian companies. Generally, the Russian
real estate and securities markets are significantly smaller and less liquid
than the markets in the United States, and as a result, a portion of the assets
held by Pioneer First Investment Fund are illiquid. There is also limited
liquidity in the publicly traded securities of Pioneer First Investment Fund.
Consequently, Harbor Global may have difficulty selling its investment in
Pioneer First Investment Fund or causing Pioneer First Investment Fund to
liquidate its underlying assets, and may only be able to do so at prices which
may not reflect the long-term value of its investments. See "Business -- Russian
Real Estate and Investment Management" for more information about Harbor
Global's Russian real estate management and investment management operations.

Harbor Global sells the timber it harvests primarily to markets in the
Pacific Rim. During 1998, timber prices were significantly depressed and,
although prices increased in the last quarter of 1998 and in 1999, Harbor Global
cannot assure you that this trend will continue. The value of Harbor Global's
timber harvesting and sales operations to be realized upon its sale or
liquidation, if any, is and will continue to be affected by changes in market
demand and prices for timber and the stability of the economies in the Pacific
Rim.

HARBOR GLOBAL'S BUSINESSES, PARTICULARLY THOSE CONDUCTED IN EMERGING MARKETS,
ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO NUMEROUS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS.

Harbor Global conducts business in countries outside of the United States,
primarily in Russia and Poland. In the year ended December 31, 1999, nearly all
of Harbor Global's revenues were derived from operations outside of the United
States. Harbor Global will continue to operate its international businesses
until those businesses are liquidated and will continue to be subject to the
risks of doing business internationally, including:

- unexpected changes in regulatory requirements and underdeveloped legal
systems in some countries;

- export controls relating to timber;

- tariffs and other trade barriers;

- difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

- political and economic instability;

- fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

- restrictions on currency exchange and repatriation;

- restrictions on foreign investment in its businesses;

- seasonal reductions in timber harvesting and gold exploration operations;
and

- potentially adverse tax consequences.

For example, in recent years Russia has undergone substantial political,
economic and social change. The economic conditions in Russia, together with
actions of the Russian government, led to a severe devaluation of the ruble, a
sharp increase in the rate of inflation, the near collapse of the banking
system, significant defaults on foreign currency obligations and a dramatic
decline in the prices of Russian debt and equity securities. In addition, as is
typical of an emerging market, Russia does not possess a well-developed
business, legal and regulatory infrastructure that would generally exist in the
United States or in a more mature free market economy. Accordingly, Harbor
Global's Russian timber harvesting and sales

8
<PAGE> 14

operations, gold exploration operations and real estate management and
investment management businesses involve significant risks, such as those listed
above, that are not typically associated with developed markets. The liquidation
of these businesses and the businesses Harbor Global operates in other emerging
markets, as well as the successful operation of these businesses pending their
liquidation, will depend on the stability of, and economic conditions in, these
emerging markets.

THE LOSS OF KEY OFFICERS AND MANAGERS COULD IMPAIR THE ABILITY OF HARBOR GLOBAL
TO SUCCESSFULLY OPERATE AND MANAGE ITS ASSETS PRIOR TO THEIR LIQUIDATION.

Mr. Kasnet will be the President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr.
Hunter will be the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Harbor
Global. Mr. Kasnet is currently the President, and Mr. Hunter is currently the
Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of Pioneer Global Investments,
a division of Pioneer Group. As executive officers of Pioneer Global
Investments, Mr. Kasnet and Mr. Hunter currently operate substantially all the
businesses that Harbor Global will own following the distribution. In addition,
Harbor Global is expected to enter into an administration and liquidation
agreement with Calypso Management, an entity owned and operated by Mr. Kasnet
and Mr. Hunter, under which Calypso Management will manage the liquidation of
Harbor Global and operate its assets as going concern businesses until they are
liquidated.

Mr. Kasnet and Mr. Hunter are both expected to enter into employment
agreements with Calypso Management on or before the distribution date. Mr.
Kasnet's employment agreement is expected to provide for a minimum term of two
years and may be terminated by Mr. Kasnet upon 120 days prior written notice
following the second anniversary of the distribution date. Mr. Hunter's
employment agreement is expected to provide that Mr. Hunter's employment with
Calypso Management will be at will, subject to termination by either Calypso
Management or Mr. Hunter upon 60 days prior written notice. If either Mr.
Kasnet's or Mr. Hunter's employment with Calypso Management is terminated, he
will cease to be an officer of Harbor Global. In addition, if either Mr. Kasnet
or Mr. Hunter terminates his employment before the second anniversary of the
distribution date, he will forfeit his right to receive incentive compensation
under the administration and liquidation agreement and his employment agreement.
See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" in this information
statement for more information about the administration and liquidation
agreement and the employment agreements. Harbor Global currently does not intend
to obtain key man life insurance policies with benefits payable to Harbor Global
for Mr. Kasnet or Mr. Hunter.

HARBOR GLOBAL WILL INDEMNIFY PIONEER GROUP FOR SOME LIABILITIES ACCRUING AFTER
THE DISTRIBUTION DATE.

Harbor Global and Pioneer Group have entered into a distribution agreement
under which Harbor Global agrees to indemnify Pioneer Group for liabilities,
other than tax liabilities, incurred by Pioneer Group relating to the businesses
or operations of the Harbor Global assets. For example, in connection with the
sale of its gold mining operations in Ghana to Ashanti Goldfields Teberebie
Limited, Pioneer Group has agreed to indemnify Ashanti for claims arising under
the purchase agreement before June 19, 2005 relating to its Ghanaian gold mining
operations. Under the distribution agreement, Pioneer Group has agreed to
transfer Pioneer Goldfields II Limited, the Pioneer Group subsidiary through
which Pioneer Group's gold mining operations in Ghana were conducted, to Harbor
Global. As a result of the transfer of Pioneer Goldfields II to Harbor Global,
Harbor Global is obligated to reimburse Pioneer Group in the event that Ashanti
seeks indemnification for any claim. Harbor Global's indemnification obligations
to

9
<PAGE> 15

Pioneer Group in connection with the Ashanti purchase agreement are capped at
the amount of the total purchase price paid by Ashanti to Pioneer Goldfields II
under the purchase agreement.

Additionally, under a tax separation agreement between Harbor Global and
Pioneer Group, generally, Harbor Global has agreed to indemnify Pioneer Group
for tax liabilities relating to the Harbor Global businesses. Currently, there
are no suits pending which would require payment by Harbor Global to Pioneer
Group under the indemnification provisions of the distribution agreement or tax
separation agreement. However, Harbor Global cannot assure you that no legal
proceeding or other claim will occur that would require Harbor Global to
indemnify Pioneer Group. Furthermore, Harbor Global and its subsidiaries may be
subject to legal proceedings or other claims arising in the ordinary course of
business, including employment related claims, environmental claims and
regulatory fees or fines associated with its international operations.

PIONEER FIRST INVESTMENT FUND IS CONSTRAINED IN DISTRIBUTING DIVIDENDS TO HARBOR
GLOBAL BECAUSE OF COST AND ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN.

Harbor Global holds approximately a 52% interest in Pioneer First
Investment Fund. Under Russian law, before paying a dividend to its
shareholders, Pioneer First Investment Fund must notify each shareholder by
mail. Currently, Pioneer First Investment Fund has over two million
shareholders. The administrative and postage expenses associated with notifying
its shareholders would consume a significant portion of any dividend. Pioneer
First Investment Fund established a share repurchase program to reduce the
number of its shareholders, but the program has had little success. Until its
efforts to lessen these burdens are successful, the large number of shareholders
constrains Pioneer First Investment Fund from paying dividends to its
shareholders, including Harbor Global.

THE AMOUNT OF INCOME, GAIN OR LOSS YOU MAY RECOGNIZE AS A RESULT OF THE MERGER
AND DISTRIBUTION CANNOT BE PRECISELY DETERMINED.

Your receipt of cash and Harbor Global common shares in connection with the
merger and the distribution will be a taxable transaction or transactions. The
amount of income, gain or loss, if any, that you will recognize will depend, in
part, on the fair market value of the Harbor Global common shares you receive in
the distribution. Harbor Global will undertake to provide you with its
determination regarding the fair market value of the Harbor Global common shares
you receive in the distribution. However, any determination will not be binding
on the Internal Revenue Service, which may assert a different and possibly
higher value for the Harbor Global common shares you receive. Accordingly, there
can be no assurance as to the exact amount of income, gain or loss you may
recognize as a result of the merger and the distribution.

AS A RESULT OF HOLDING HARBOR GLOBAL COMMON SHARES, YOU MAY RECOGNIZE TAXABLE
INCOME AND BE REQUIRED TO PAY TAX WITHOUT A CORRESPONDING DISTRIBUTION OF CASH
FROM HARBOR GLOBAL TO YOU.

For United States federal income tax purposes, Harbor Global intends to be
treated as a partnership. For United States federal income tax purposes, it is
anticipated that you will be treated as a partner in a Bermuda partnership and
your Harbor Global common shares will represent partnership interests. Because
of its classification as a partnership for United States federal income tax
purposes, Harbor Global will not itself be subject to United States federal
income tax. Instead, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense will
flow through to you, and you will include your allocable share of these items in
computing your own United States federal income tax for each taxable year of
Harbor Global. Cash distributions made by Harbor Global to you generally will
not be taxable, except to the extent that those distributions exceed your
adjusted tax basis in the Harbor Global common shares. For a general discussion
of the rules regarding certain tax consequences of holding Harbor Global common
shares, see the discussion under the heading "The Distribution -- Material
Anticipated United States Federal Income Tax Consequences -- United States
Federal Income Tax Consequences of Holding Harbor Global Common Shares" in this
information statement.

Harbor Global believes that one or more of the majority or minority owned
foreign subsidiaries of Harbor Global may be classified as a foreign personal
holding company or passive foreign investment
10
<PAGE> 16

company for United States federal income tax purposes. If any such subsidiary is
classified as a foreign personal holding company or passive foreign investment
company, you may be required to recognize taxable income and pay tax with
respect to a portion of the subsidiary's income, even in the absence of the
receipt of any payment of cash or other property from the subsidiary. The tax
rules regarding foreign partnerships, foreign personal holding companies and
passive foreign investment companies are complicated. You should consult your
tax advisor to determine the tax consequences to you of holding Harbor Global
common shares. For a general discussion of the rules regarding foreign personal
holding companies and passive foreign investment companies, see "The
Distribution -- Material Anticipated United States Federal Income Tax
Consequences -- Investments in Foreign Corporations."

HARBOR GLOBAL AND THE BUSINESSES IT OPERATES MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RAISE ADDITIONAL
CAPITAL OR OBTAIN DEBT FINANCING.

Based on budget projections, Harbor Global Company Ltd. currently has
sufficient capital, without liquidating any of its assets, to continue to
operate its assets for approximately three years. As such, it may be necessary
for Harbor Global to liquidate some of its assets within three years of the
distribution date to continue to operate its remaining assets pending their
liquidation. If Harbor Global is unable to liquidate some of its assets, it will
require additional funding. Harbor Global may not be able to obtain additional
funding, either in the form of additional capital or debt financing, because of
the nature of its operations, namely its intent to hold its assets for
liquidation and its limited duration. In addition, after the distribution and
the merger, Pioneer Group will not own any Harbor Global common shares, and
Pioneer Group and Harbor Global will operate as two wholly independent
companies. As an independent company, Harbor Global will not be able to obtain
additional funding from Pioneer Group. If adequate funding is not available,
Harbor Global may be forced to liquidate its assets prematurely for a discounted
sale price or on other less favorable terms than those that may otherwise be
available if Harbor Global could obtain additional funding.

HARBOR GLOBAL WILL BE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT RESTRICTIONS IF IT BECOMES AN
INVESTMENT COMPANY.

Harbor Global is currently not an investment company. Because a portion of
Harbor Global's assets consists of investment securities, Harbor Global could,
in some circumstances in the future, be deemed to be an investment company under
the Investment Company Act of 1940. The determination of whether Harbor Global
is an investment company is based on facts and circumstances that exist at
various times.

Harbor Global intends to conduct itself in the future so as to avoid
becoming an investment company. If, nevertheless, Harbor Global were in the
future to become an investment company, because Harbor Global is a foreign
company, the Investment Company Act would prohibit Harbor Global and any person
deemed to be an underwriter of Harbor Global's securities from offering for
sale, selling or delivering after sale, in connection with a public offering,
any security issued by Harbor Global in the United States.

THE DISTRIBUTION

REASONS FOR THE DISTRIBUTION

On May 14, 2000, Pioneer Group and UniCredito Italiano entered into a
merger agreement under which a wholly owned subsidiary of UniCredito Italiano
will merge with and into Pioneer Group. Pioneer Group will survive the merger as
a wholly owned subsidiary of UniCredito Italiano. Prior to closing the merger,
Pioneer Group will transfer some of its businesses and assets to Harbor Global,
a wholly owned subsidiary of Pioneer Group, and distribute Harbor Global common
shares to its stockholders. The Pioneer Group board of directors believes the
distribution will enable Pioneer Group stockholders to participate in the value
of all of Pioneer Group's assets through the acquisition of Pioneer Group by
UniCredito Italiano and the realization of any potential value of the businesses
and assets transferred to Harbor Global through the liquidation of those assets
within a limited period of time. Pioneer Group's board of directors believes the
distribution and the merger are in the best interests of Pioneer Group's
stockholders.

DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

Pioneer Group and Harbor Global have agreed to enter into a distribution
agreement which, in general, provides that:

- Pioneer Group will transfer some of its businesses and assets to Harbor
Global;

- Pioneer Group will distribute Harbor Global common shares to its
stockholders on a pro rata basis;

- Harbor Global will indemnify Pioneer Group for liabilities, other than
tax liabilities, incurred by Pioneer Group relating to the business or
operations of Harbor Global or its subsidiaries; and

- Pioneer Group will indemnify Harbor Global for liabilities, other than
tax liabilities, incurred by Harbor Global relating to the business or
operations of Pioneer Group or its subsidiaries, excluding Harbor Global
and its subsidiaries.

The form of distribution agreement is attached as Exhibit A to this information
statement.

Transfer of Assets. Under the distribution agreement, Pioneer Group will
transfer the capital stock of several of its subsidiaries and an amount in cash
of $22.6 million to Harbor Global before the distribution date. As a result of
these transfers, at the time of the distribution Harbor Global's assets will
consist primarily of the following businesses and assets currently owned or
operated by Pioneer Group:

- real estate management and investment management operations in Russia;

- Polish and Eastern European venture capital investment and management
operations;

- Polish real estate management operations;

- timber harvesting and sales in Russia;

- gold exploration operations in Russia;

- the proceeds from the sale of Pioneer Group's gold mining operations in
Ghana; and

- $22.6 million in cash.

Harbor Global will own and operate all of its assets through a direct majority
owned subsidiary, Harbor Global II Ltd. See "Business -- Holding Company
Structure" in this information statement for more information about Harbor
Global's structure.

Indemnification. In connection with the transfer of the Pioneer Group
businesses and assets described above to Harbor Global, Harbor Global will
indemnify Pioneer Group and its subsidiaries and their officers, directors,
agents and employees for liabilities, other than tax liabilities, incurred by
Pioneer Group relating to the businesses or operations of Harbor Global or its
subsidiaries. For example, in connection with the sale of its gold mining
operations in Ghana to Ashanti Goldfields Teberebie Limited,

12
<PAGE> 18

Pioneer Group has agreed to indemnify Ashanti for claims arising under the
purchase agreement before June 19, 2005 relating to its Ghanaian gold mining
operations. Pioneer Group's indemnification obligations to Ashanti under the
purchase agreement are capped at the amount of the total purchase price paid by
Ashanti to Pioneer Goldfields II under the purchase agreement. Under the
distribution agreement, Pioneer Group has agreed to transfer Pioneer Goldfields
II Limited, the Pioneer Group subsidiary through which Pioneer Group's gold
mining operations in Ghana were conducted, to Harbor Global. As a result of the
transfer of Pioneer Goldfields II to Harbor Global, Harbor Global is obligated
to reimburse Pioneer Group in the event that Pioneer Group indemnifies Ashanti
for any claim under the purchase agreement.

Similarly, under the distribution agreement, Pioneer Group has agreed to
indemnify Harbor Global and its subsidiaries and their directors, officers,
agents and employees for liabilities, other than tax liabilities, incurred by
Harbor Global relating to the businesses or operations of Pioneer Group or its
subsidiaries, other than Harbor Global and its subsidiaries.

The liability of each of Harbor Global and Pioneer Group for taxes is
exclusively governed by the tax separation agreement which is described below.

Additional Liabilities. Under the purchase agreement in connection with
the sale by Pioneer Group of its gold mining operations in Ghana to Ashanti,
Pioneer Goldfields II is entitled to receive an $18.8 million base purchase
price plus additional payments up to $5 million contingent upon the market price
of gold and productivity of the Ghanaian gold mine. On June 19, 2000, $5 million
of the base purchase price was paid to Pioneer Goldfields II in cash and $13.8
million of the base purchase price was paid in the form of a five year
non-interest bearing promissory note. Under the distribution agreement, Harbor
Global has agreed that promptly after June 19, 2005, the fifth anniversary of
the closing of the sale, it will pay to Pioneer Group the lesser of $5 million
or the proceeds received by Pioneer Goldfields II from Ashanti under the
purchase agreement less any indemnification claims paid under the purchase
agreement for breach of any representation or warranty of Pioneer Goldfields II.
The indemnification obligation to Ashanti will not exceed the total purchase
price paid by Ashanti under the purchase agreement. If any indemnification claim
under the purchase agreement is pending on June 19, 2005, Harbor Global will pay
the appropriate amount described above promptly upon resolution of the pending
claim or claims. For more information about the transaction with Ashanti, see
"Business -- Other Assets -- Ashanti Proceeds" in this information statement.

Harbor Global will make payments to Mr. Hunter, Catherine V. Mannick and
some other employees of Calypso Management or subsidiaries of Harbor Global who
are currently officers or employees of Pioneer Group or its subsidiaries and
who, as a result of the merger, will be entitled to receive payments from
Pioneer Group upon termination of their employment with Pioneer Group. In
addition, under the administration and liquidation agreement, Harbor Global is
obligated to pay a $1.8 million signing and retention bonus to Mr. Kasnet
following the second anniversary of the distribution date if Mr. Kasnet has not:

- voluntarily terminated his employment with either Harbor Global or
Calypso Management;

- committed an act, in connection with the performance of his services with
Calypso Management or Harbor Global constituting bad faith, fraud or
willful misconduct;

- willfully failed to carry out a vote of Harbor Global's board of
directors which results in material economic harm to Harbor Global; or

- become disabled.

Harbor Global expects that these payments, including Mr. Kasnet's $1.8
million signing and retention bonus, will be approximately $3.6 million in the
aggregate. See "Management -- Compensation of Executive Officers" in this
information statement for more information regarding these payments.

In addition, Harbor Global has commitments to invest an additional
approximately $5.4 million in the Polish Real Estate Fund. See
"Business -- Polish Real Estate" in this information statement for more
information regarding the Polish Real Estate Fund.

Intercompany Indebtedness. Prior to the distribution, any intercompany
indebtedness, receivable or other intercompany obligation between Harbor Global
or its subsidiaries on one hand, and Pioneer Group or its subsidiaries on the
other hand, other than Pioneer Group's right to receive up to $5 million under
the distribution agreement in connection with the Ashanti purchase agreement,
will be contributed by Pioneer Group to the capital of either Harbor Global or
one of its subsidiaries. Following the distribution, except as described above
and except for any amounts payable by Harbor Global to Pioneer Group in
connection with any transitional services provided to Harbor Global, there will
be no outstanding indebtedness or accounts payable or receivable between Harbor
Global and its subsidiaries and Pioneer Group and its subsidiaries.

Mutual Release. Under the distribution agreement each of Harbor Global and
Pioneer Group releases and forever discharges the other and its subsidiaries for
all obligations, liabilities and claims which the releasing party has against
the other relating to events or circumstances existing before the distribution
date. This mutual release does not affect either party's ability to enforce the
distribution agreement or any other agreement contemplated by the distribution
agreement, including the tax separation agreement.

Names. Following the distribution, the name "Pioneer" and all similar
related names, marks and logos will be the property of UniCredito Italiano,
Pioneer Group or a subsidiary of Pioneer Group. Harbor Global intends to change
the names of its subsidiaries that currently contain the "Pioneer" name before
the distribution. Accordingly, the names of some of the Harbor Global
subsidiaries used in this information statement will be changed. In the event
that these name changes cannot be completed before the distribution date,
Pioneer Group and Harbor Global have agreed to use their good faith efforts to
enter into a licence agreement to permit Harbor Global and its subsidiaries to
use the "Pioneer" name in connection with the continued operation of Harbor
Global's assets and businesses for a reasonable period of time after the closing
of the merger.

Distribution of Harbor Global Common Shares. The distribution agreement
provides that the distribution record date and the distribution date will be the
closing date of the merger and that the distribution will occur immediately
prior to the closing of the merger.

The distribution will occur only if the following conditions are satisfied:

- the stockholders of Pioneer Group approve and adopt the merger agreement
between Pioneer Group and UniCredito Italiano;

- Pioneer Group transfers some of its businesses and assets to Harbor
Global;

- all of the conditions to the obligation of Pioneer Group to close the
merger, other than the condition that the distribution be completed, are
satisfied or waived by Pioneer Group; and

- no order, injunction or other legal restraint preventing or prohibiting
the distribution is in effect.

Pioneer Group will deliver to EquiServe Limited Partnership, the
distribution agent, certificates representing all of the outstanding Harbor
Global common shares. At the time of distribution, Pioneer Group will notify the
distribution agent that the distribution is effective, and you will be entitled
to receive one Harbor Global common share for every five shares of Pioneer Group
common stock held by you on the distribution date. No certificates or scrip
representing fractional Harbor Global common shares will be issued to you as
part of the distribution. The distribution agent will aggregate fractional
shares into whole shares and seek to sell them at then prevailing prices on
behalf of you and other holders who would be entitled to receive fractional
share interests. Instead of a fractional share, you will receive a cash payment
in the amount of your pro rata share of the total sale proceeds, net of any
commissions incurred in connection with the sale of fractional shares. The
aggregated fractional shares will be sold on, or as soon as practicable after,
the distribution date.

The total number of Harbor Global common shares to be distributed will
depend on the number of shares of common stock of Pioneer Group outstanding on
the distribution date. Based upon the number of shares of Pioneer Group
outstanding on July 31, 2000, approximately 5,397,918 Harbor Global common
shares will be distributed to Pioneer Group stockholders. This amount may
increase prior to the
14
<PAGE> 20

distribution date due to the issuance of shares of Pioneer Group common stock
upon the exercise of outstanding options. The certificate representing your
Harbor Global common shares will be mailed to you approximately one to two weeks
after the distribution date.

You will not be required to pay any cash or other consideration for the
Harbor Global common shares you receive in the distribution.

TAX SEPARATION AGREEMENT

Pioneer Group and Harbor Global have entered into a tax separation
agreement, which will govern each party's rights and obligations with respect to
payments, deficiencies and refunds, if any, of federal, state, local or foreign
taxes for periods before and after the distribution. Under the tax separation
agreement, Harbor Global has agreed to pay any tax arising in connection with
the transfer of businesses and assets from Pioneer Group to Harbor Global and
the subsequent distribution. The tax separation agreement also governs each
party's obligations with respect to the filing of tax returns and conduct of tax
audits. The form of the tax separation agreement is attached as Exhibit B to
this information statement.

MATERIAL ANTICIPATED UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following is a general description of material anticipated United
States federal income tax consequences that are applicable to you by virtue of
your receipt of cash and Harbor Global common shares in the merger and
distribution. This description is not a comprehensive description of all of the
tax consequences that may be relevant to you. This description does not discuss
the tax consequences that may be applicable to you in light of your individual
circumstances or if you are subject to special treatment under some United
States federal income tax laws, such as laws pertaining to:

- banks;

- tax-exempt organizations;

- insurance companies;

- mutual funds;

- traders in securities who elect to apply a mark-to-market method of
accounting;

- dealers in securities or foreign currencies;

- stockholders who received their Pioneer Group common stock through the
exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation;

- stockholders who are not United States persons, as defined in the
Internal Revenue Code;

- stockholders who hold Pioneer Group common stock as part of a hedge,
straddle or conversion transaction;

- stockholders who hold Pioneer Group common stock through a partnership,
trust or other entity that is treated as a pass-through entity for United
States federal income tax purposes; or

- stockholders subject to the alternative minimum tax.

This description is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the
regulations of the United States Treasury Department, and court and
administrative rulings and decisions in effect on the date of this information
statement, all of which are subject to change, possibly retroactively, which may
alter the tax consequences described below.

Neither Harbor Global nor Pioneer Group has sought or will seek a ruling
from the Internal Revenue Service or a legal opinion regarding any tax matter
discussed in this information statement, including any tax consequences relating
to the formation of Harbor Global, or the tax consequences of the merger and
distribution or holding Harbor Global common shares. Neither Pioneer Group nor
Harbor Global can

15
<PAGE> 21

assure you that the Internal Revenue Service would not assert, or that a court
would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences described
below.

Tax matters are complicated. The tax consequences of the merger and the
distribution to you are complex and will depend on your particular facts and
circumstances. Harbor Global urges you to consult your own tax advisor regarding
your specific tax consequences of the merger and distribution, including tax
return reporting requirements, the applicability of federal, state, local and
foreign tax laws and the effect of any proposed change in the tax laws.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to Pioneer Group Stockholders of the
Receipt of Cash and Harbor Global Common Shares. The United States federal
income tax consequences to you of receiving Harbor Global common shares in the
distribution may differ significantly depending on whether the distribution and
merger are treated as a single integrated transaction or as two separate
transactions for United States federal income tax purposes. Although there is no
specific authority directly on point, UniCredito Italiano, Pioneer Group and
Harbor Global intend to characterize the merger and the distribution as a single
integrated transaction for United States federal income tax purposes. However,
because the issue is not free from doubt, you should consult your tax advisor
with respect to the proper treatment of the distribution of Harbor Global common
shares.

In general, your receipt of cash and Harbor Global common shares in
connection with the merger and the distribution will be a taxable event. If the
merger and the distribution are treated as a single, integrated transaction,
your receipt of cash and Harbor Global common shares will be treated as an
exchange of shares of Pioneer Group common stock for both cash and Harbor Global
common shares. Under this treatment, you will generally recognize capital gain
or loss for United States federal income tax purposes equal to the difference
between (1) the amount of cash you receive plus the fair market value at the
time of the distribution of the Harbor Global common shares you receive and (2)
the adjusted tax basis in the shares of Pioneer Group common stock you surrender
in exchange for the cash and Harbor Global common shares.

The gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if your holding
period for the Pioneer Group common stock you exchange is more than 12 months at
the closing of the merger. If you own more than one block of shares of Pioneer
Group common stock, the cash and Harbor Global common shares you receive must be
allocated ratably among the blocks you own. Your holding period for the Harbor
Global common shares you receive in the distribution will begin on the day
following the date of the distribution, and you will have an initial tax basis
in the Harbor Global common shares equal to their fair market value on the
distribution date.

If the merger and distribution are not treated as a single integrated
transaction for United States federal income tax purposes, the receipt of cash
in exchange for shares of Pioneer Group common stock would result in the
recognition of gain or loss as described above, while your receipt of Harbor
Global common shares may instead be a taxable distribution from Pioneer Group.

If the receipt of the Harbor Global common shares were treated as a taxable
distribution, the fair market value of your Harbor Global common shares at the
time of the distribution would be taxable to you as a dividend to the extent of
Pioneer Group's current or accumulated earnings and profits, including earnings
and profits arising from the deemed sale by Pioneer Group of the Harbor Global
common shares as a result of the distribution. That portion of the value of
Harbor Global common shares that exceeds the earnings and profits of Pioneer
Group would first be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of
your basis in your shares of Pioneer Group common stock, and your adjusted tax
basis in this stock would be reduced accordingly (but not below zero). To the
extent that the remaining portion of the value of Harbor Global common shares
you receive were to exceed your adjusted tax basis in your shares of Pioneer
Group common stock, the excess would be treated as long-term or short-term
capital gain from the sale or exchange of Pioneer Group common stock, depending
on the period of time you held the Pioneer Group stock.

16
<PAGE> 22

As discussed above, the amount of income, gain or loss, if any, that you
will recognize will depend, in part, on the fair market value of the Harbor
Global common shares you receive in the distribution. Harbor Global will
undertake to provide you with its determination regarding the fair market value
of the Harbor Global common shares you receive in the distribution. However, any
determination will not be binding on the Internal Revenue Service, which may
assert a different, and possibly higher, value for the Harbor Global common
shares you receive. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the exact
amount of income, gain or loss you may recognize as a result of the merger and
the distribution.

Backup Withholding. Under the "backup withholding" provisions of United
States federal income tax law, the distribution agent may be required to
withhold 31% of amounts paid to you. In order to prevent backup federal income
tax withholding with respect to amounts paid to you, you will be required to
provide the distribution agent with your correct taxpayer identification number
and certify that you are not subject to backup withholding by completing the
Substitute Form W-9 which will be sent to you in a Letter of Transmittal shortly
after the distribution is effected and the merger is closed. Some stockholders
(including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals and
entities) are not subject to backup withholding. If you do not provide your
correct taxpayer identification number or fail to provide the certifications
described above, the Internal Revenue Service may impose a penalty on you and
the payment of cash to you may be subject to backup withholding.

Bermuda and United States Tax Status of Harbor Global. Harbor Global
believes that it will not be subject to taxation in Bermuda and that interest,
dividends and gains distributed by Harbor Global to you will not be subject to
taxation in Bermuda.

For United States federal income tax purposes, Harbor Global will elect to
be classified as a partnership. Harbor Global believes that it will not be
classified as a "publicly traded partnership" or otherwise classified as a
corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. It is anticipated
that, for United States federal income tax purposes, you will be treated as a
partner in the Bermuda partnership and your Harbor Global common shares will
represent partnership interests.

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of Holding Harbor Global
Common Shares. By reason of its classification as a partnership for United
States federal income tax purposes, Harbor Global itself will not be subject to
United States federal income tax. Instead, items of income, gain, loss,
deduction and expense will pass through to you, and you will be treated as a
partner in Harbor Global for United States federal income tax purposes.

As a partner in Harbor Global, you will be required to take into account
your allocable share of Harbor Global's items of income, gain, loss, deduction
and credit. The amount of your allocable share of Harbor Global's items of
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined in accordance with
your interest in Harbor Global. Your adjusted tax basis in the Harbor Global
shares generally will be equal to the fair market value of the Harbor Global
shares you receive at the time of the distribution and will be (1) increased by
your allocable share of Harbor Global's items of income and gain that you are
required to take into account as described above and (2) decreased, but not
below zero, by the allocable share of Harbor Global's items of deduction and
loss and the amount of any cash or other distribution made by Harbor Global to
you. Cash distributions that Harbor Global makes to you generally will not be
taxable to you, except to the extent that these distributions exceed your
adjusted tax basis in your Harbor Global common shares.

Because Harbor Global will not be required to make current distributions of
its earnings, it is possible that your United States federal income tax
liability directly (as described below under the heading "Investments in Foreign
Corporations"), or with respect to your allocable share of Harbor Global's items
of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, in a particular taxable year could
exceed the cash distributions, if any, to you for that year. In this case, you
may have a liability for tax which must be paid by you out of other funds.

Harbor Global's disposition of businesses or assets may generally give rise
to income, gain or loss, which will pass through to you, as described above.
Except as described below under the heading "Passive

17
<PAGE> 23

Foreign Investment Company," this gain will be treated as long-term capital gain
if Harbor Global's holding period in the stock is more than 12 months at the
time of the sale. For this purpose, Harbor Global's holding period will include
any period during which the stock was held as a capital asset by Pioneer Group.
Harbor Global expects to distribute proceeds from the liquidation of its assets,
net of its expenses and other liabilities, pro rata to its shareholders.

Investments in Foreign Corporations. As a result of the structure of
Harbor Global, you may be required to recognize a proportionate share of the
income earned by any majority or minority owned Harbor Global subsidiary that is
classified as a Foreign Personal Holding Company or a Passive Foreign Investment
Company. You are urged to consult your tax advisor as to whether making a
qualified electing fund election, as described below, with respect to each
Passive Foreign Investment Company would be beneficial to you.

Foreign Personal Holding Company. Harbor Global believes that one or more
of its foreign subsidiaries may be classified as a "foreign personal holding
company" (an "FPHC"). In general, a foreign corporation will be classified as an
FPHC if in any taxable year (1) five or fewer individuals who are United States
citizens or residents own or are deemed to own more than 50% (measured by the
total voting power of all classes entitled to vote or the total value) of the
foreign corporation's shares (the "ownership test") and (2) at least 60% (50% in
some cases) of the foreign corporation's gross income consists of "foreign
personal holding company income," which generally includes passive income such
as dividends, interests, gains from the sale or exchange of shares or
securities, rent and royalties (the "income test").

For purposes of determining whether a foreign corporation meets the
ownership test described above, you will be treated as owning your proportionate
share of stock in any foreign corporation held by Harbor Global, and the shares
that are treated as owned by you will be attributed to all other shareholders of
Harbor Global. Therefore, any foreign corporation owned by Harbor Global will
generally be treated as owned, through attribution, by each Harbor Global
shareholder in the same proportion that the company is owned by Harbor Global,
so that the ownership test will be satisfied with respect to any company that is
owned more than 50 percent by Harbor Global. As a result, any foreign
corporation that is more than 50% owned by Harbor Global will be treated as an
FPHC based solely on whether the income test is satisfied. In addition, Harbor
Global believes that one or more of the subsidiaries of Harbor Global will have
substantial passive income, and as a result may be classified as an FPHC under
the income test.

In the event that any foreign subsidiary of Harbor Global is classified as
an FPHC, you will be required to include your proportionate share of the
subsidiary's undistributed foreign personal holding company income, regardless
of whether you receive corresponding distributions of cash.

Harbor Global will undertake to provide you with information regarding the
classification of any Harbor Global subsidiary as an FPHC and your allocable
share of the subsidiary's income, as described above. However, Harbor Global
cannot assure you that it will be able to provide you with this information.

Passive Foreign Investment Company. One or more of Harbor Global's
subsidiaries could also be classified as a passive foreign investment company (a
"PFIC"). In general, a foreign corporation will be a PFIC if, for any taxable
year, either (1) 75% or more of its gross income is "passive income," which
includes interest, dividends, and some types of rents and royalties, or (2) the
average percentage of the corporation's assets that produce or are held for the
production of "passive income" is 50% or more. If any of the foreign
corporations owned directly or indirectly by Harbor Global is a PFIC during any
year in which you own an interest in Harbor Global, you will be treated as
directly owning your proportionate share of such PFIC. Unless you make a
qualified electing fund election, as described below, you will be subject to tax
on gains on dispositions of PFIC shares by Harbor Global or a subsidiary of
Harbor Global and on certain "excess distributions" by a PFIC to Harbor Global
as if the gain or distribution were ordinary income earned ratably over each of
the years during the period in which the subsidiary was classified as a PFIC,
and you will be treated as owning an indirect interest in the PFIC. You
generally will be liable to pay tax at the ordinary income rates prevailing
during each of the years to which the gain or distribution is allocated, except
that in the case of gains and distributions allocated to prior years in which
18
<PAGE> 24

the foreign corporation was a PFIC, (1) the tax rate will be the highest in
effect for that taxable year and (2) the tax will be payable generally without
regard to offsets from deductions, losses and expenses. You will also be subject
to an interest charge with respect to any tax described above that is allocated
to a prior year.

Alternatively, you may make an election with respect to each PFIC in which
you are treated as owning shares to have the PFIC treated as a "qualified
electing fund" ("QEF"). In general, a QEF election would require you to include
in gross income each year your share of the PFIC's ordinary income and net
capital gain for the year, even if the PFIC does not distribute cash or other
property in respect of such income. You may only make a QEF election if the PFIC
satisfies certain reporting requirements with respect to its ordinary income and
net capital gains.

In addition, subject to specific limitations, shareholders treated as
owning marketable shares in a PFIC may make an election to mark those shares to
market annually, rather than being subject to the above-described rules. Amounts
included in or deducted from income under this mark-to-market election and
actual gains and losses realized upon disposition, subject to specific
limitations, would be treated as ordinary gains or losses.

As mentioned above, Harbor Global expects that one or more of its
subsidiaries will have substantial passive income. Accordingly, Harbor Global
expects that one or more of its subsidiaries will be classified as a PFIC, in
which case each such subsidiary will likely be classified as both a PFIC and an
FPHC. In that event, unless you make a QEF election, you will include in your
income the portion of the foreign corporation's income that is required to be
included under the FPHC rules, described above, and also be subject to tax under
the PFIC rules with respect to gains on dispositions and excess distributions,
including the interest charge, as described above. However, if you have made a
QEF election with respect to a company that is treated as both a PFIC and an
FPHC, you will include in your income your proportionate share of the foreign
corporation's income as provided in the FPHC rules, as described above, and any
remaining income under the QEF rules, as described above. Accordingly, you will
include your proportionate share of the subsidiary's income, but only once, and
you will not be subject to the PFIC rules regarding gains on dispositions and
excess distributions, including the interest charge described above in the PFIC
rules.

Harbor Global will undertake to obtain from any PFIC, and provide to you,
the information necessary to allow you to make, and maintain, a QEF election
with respect to any PFIC. However, Harbor Global cannot assure you that it will
be able to provide all the necessary information to satisfy the PFIC
requirements and that you will be permitted to make and maintain a QEF election.

YOU ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO HOW THE
PASSIVE FOREIGN INVESTMENT COMPANY RULES AFFECT YOUR TAX SITUATION AND WHETHER
MAKING A QUALIFIED ELECTING FUND ELECTION WITH RESPECT TO EACH PASSIVE FOREIGN
INVESTMENT COMPANY OWNED BY HARBOR GLOBAL WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO YOU.

Controlled Foreign Corporation. Any foreign corporation that is held
directly or indirectly by Harbor Global could be treated as a "controlled
foreign corporation" if more than 50% of the total voting power or value of the
shares is owned, directly or indirectly, by shareholders that are citizens or
residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or
corporations or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts,
indirectly owning 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes
of shares in the foreign corporation. This classification would have many
complex results, including requiring the shareholders to include in income their
pro rata shares of the controlled foreign corporation's "Subpart F Income," as
defined by the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, with respect to any such
shareholder who is or was a 10% or greater shareholder at any time during the
five year period ending with the sale or exchange of shares in a controlled
foreign corporation by Harbor Global or any of its subsidiaries, gain from such
sale or exchange will be treated as a dividend taxable at ordinary income tax
rates to the extent of the controlled foreign corporation's earnings and profits
attributable to the shares sold or exchanged.

19
<PAGE> 25

Pioneer Group does not believe that any foreign corporation that will be
held directly or indirectly by Harbor Global immediately following the
distribution will be a controlled foreign corporation. However, we cannot assure
you that a foreign corporation owned by Harbor Global will not qualify as a
controlled foreign corporation in the future.

TRADING OF HARBOR GLOBAL COMMON SHARES

Harbor Global has registered its common shares with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on a registration statement on Form 10 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, effective as of [ ], 2000. The Harbor Global
common shares you receive in the distribution will be freely transferable,
unless you are an "affiliate" of Harbor Global under the Securities Act of 1933.
However, there is no current public trading market for Harbor Global common
shares, and Harbor Global common shares will not be listed on a securities
exchange or on The Nasdaq Stock Market(R). Furthermore, Harbor Global does not
intend to take any action to facilitate the development of an active trading
market. Harbor Global cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your
Harbor Global common shares, and if a trading market does develop, Harbor Global
cannot assure you as to the prices at which Harbor Global common shares will
trade.

Persons who may be deemed to be affiliates of Harbor Global generally
include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by or are under
common control with Harbor Global and may include the directors and officers of
Harbor Global or any principal shareholder of Harbor Global. Persons who are
affiliates of Harbor Global will be permitted to sell their Harbor Global common
shares only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
such as the exemption afforded under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

(3) Harbor Global has consolidated 100% of the net assets of Pioneer Poland
U.S., L.P. and Pioneer Poland UK, L.P., although Harbor Global's ownership
interests are 7.2% and 9.2%, respectively. Harbor Global's Polish and
Eastern European venture capital investments are made through these
consolidated partnerships which comprise the Pioneer Poland Fund. Harbor
Global's interest in the Pioneer Poland Fund totals $5,301,000. The
difference between the assets listed under "Venture Capital Investments" and
Harbor Global's interest is included under "Minority Interest" and
represents the interest of other shareholders in the fund.

Investment Fund. Pioneer First Investment Fund invests directly in real
estate, and to a lesser extent, securities of Russian companies. The
building represents the Meridian Commercial Tower, which comprises a
significant portion of the assets of Pioneer First Investment Fund. The
long-term investments and approximately $2,347,000 in cash comprise the
balance of Pioneer First Investment Fund's assets. The 48% interest held by

$2,050,000 in March 2005. The note has a net present value of $9,679,000,
when discounted at a rate of 13%.

(6) Reflects the obligation of Harbor Global under the distribution agreement to
pay Pioneer Group up to $5 million of the proceeds received by Pioneer
Goldfields II from Ashanti Goldfields Teberebie Limited in connection with
the sale of Pioneer Group's Ghanaian gold mining operations to Ashanti.
Harbor Global has also assumed approximately $1,800,000 of compensation
obligations payable immediately following the merger and distribution,
including amounts payable to current employees of Pioneer Group or its
subsidiaries who will become employees of Harbor Global or its subsidiaries
or Calypso Management.

(7) Reflects the capitalization on June 30, 2000 of Harbor Global at the time of
the distribution, including the issuance to Pioneer Group stockholders of
5,397,918 Harbor Global common shares. This represents a distribution ratio
of one Harbor Global common share for every five shares of Pioneer Group
common stock held on the distribution date and is based on the 26,989,593
shares of Pioneer Group common stock outstanding as of July 31, 2000. The
capitalization also reflects the forgiveness of the indebtedness of Harbor
Global subsidiaries to Pioneer Group. In addition, the 48,000,000 common
shares authorized assumes that Harbor Global will effect a four-for-one
stock split prior to the distribution date.

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA

The following table presents summary consolidated historical financial data
for Harbor Global for each of the periods indicated. The summary consolidated
historical financial data for the five fiscal years ended December 31 have been
derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Harbor Global for
these periods. The summary consolidated historical financial data for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 have been derived from unaudited
consolidated historical financial statements of Harbor Global, which in the
opinion of management include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to
present fairly the information required to be contained in the consolidated
historical financial statements for the periods indicated.

You should read the summary consolidated historical financial data
presented below in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Historical
Financial Statements of Harbor Global and the related notes and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
included in this information statement. The summary consolidated historical
financial data presented below and the consolidated historical financial
statements of Harbor Global contained in this information statement are
presented as if Harbor Global were a stand-alone independent company for the
periods presented. However, the historical financial information presented below
may not be indicative of (1) the results of operations or financial condition
that would have been attained if Harbor Global had been a stand-alone
independent company during the periods shown or (2) Harbor Global's future
performance as an independent company, particularly in light of its intent to
liquidate its assets within a limited period of time. Historical per share data
for earnings and dividends are not presented because Harbor Global was not a
publicly held company during the periods presented below.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The consolidated financial statements of Harbor Global include its real
estate management and investment management operations in Russia, Polish and
Eastern European venture capital investment and management operations, Polish
real estate management operations, timber harvesting and sales operations in
Russia and gold exploration operations in Russia.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997

Consolidated Operations. For fiscal year 1999, Harbor Global reported a
net loss from continuing operations of $31.3 million as compared to $45.4
million for fiscal year 1998, reflecting a decrease in net losses of $14.1
million. The decrease was attributable, in large part, to increased
profitability of the Meridian Commercial Tower in 1999 and the adverse
consequences of the Russian financial crisis in 1998. For fiscal year 1999,
losses from discontinued brokerage operations were $1.4 million, and as a result
of a required change in accounting principle, Harbor Global reported the impact
of the write-off of unamortized capitalized start-up costs of $11.4 million.

For fiscal year 1998, Harbor Global reported a net loss from continuing
operations of $45.4 million as compared to $13.6 million for fiscal year 1997,
reflecting an increase of $31.8 million. The increase was attributable
principally to losses incurred as a result of the Russian financial crisis and a
fire disruption at the timber operation. For fiscal year 1998, Harbor Global
reported losses from discontinued Russian brokerage and banking operations of
$10.1 million as compared to income of $6.0 million in fiscal year 1997,
reflecting a decrease in income of $16.1 million.

Real Estate Management and Investment Management Operations in
Russia. Revenues from the Russian real estate management and investment
management operations increased by $1.8 million in 1999 to $10.4 million. This
was principally a result of increased rental revenues at the Meridian Commercial
Tower. The net loss from continuing operations declined by $13.9 million to $1.6
million as certain costs and write-downs incurred in 1998 as a result of the
Russian financial crisis were non-recurring in 1999. The increased profitability
of the Meridian Commercial Tower also contributed to the reduction in the net
loss. In 1998, Harbor Global had losses of $6.3 million associated with cost
basis adjustments of certain securities in the Pioneer First Investment Fund.
Additionally, Harbor Global incurred increased bad debt expense and foreign
currency losses in connection with the Russian financial crisis in 1998. In
1997, the net loss from continuing operations was approximately $3.8 million,
which was related to losses at the management and stockholder services companies
that were partially offset by security gains in the Pioneer First Investment
Fund.

Losses from the discontinued Russian banking and brokerage operations
totaled approximately $1.4 million and $10.1 million in 1999 and 1998,
respectively. In 1997, the discontinued Russian banking and brokerage operations
reported income of approximately $6.0 million.

Polish and Eastern European Venture Capital. Harbor Global had losses from
its Polish and Eastern European venture capital operations of $0.7 million in
1999, $0.9 million in 1998 and $0.1 million in 1997. Losses in 1999 reflect a
$0.4 million write-off of start-up costs associated with the cumulative effect
of a change in accounting principle as well as costs associated with the
development of the venture capital funds. The 1998 losses relate to write-downs
to certain portfolio investments.

Polish Real Estate Management. Harbor Global's Polish real estate
management operations reported losses of $4.0 million in 1999, $4.5 million in
1998 and $3.4 million in 1997. Most of the losses were attributable to costs
associated with the development of Harbor Global's Polish real estate
investments and related management operations.

Timber Business. The results of the timber business are substantially
attributable to the operations of Closed Joint-Stock Company "Forest-Starma",
which commenced in January 1997. Forest-Starma has
27
<PAGE> 33

developed a modern logging camp, including a harbor, from which it exports
timber to markets in the Pacific Rim. In 1995, Closed Joint-Stock Company
"Amgun-Forest" and Closed Joint-Stock Company "Udinskoye," Harbor Global's other
Russian timber ventures, each executed 49-year leases relating to timber
harvesting.

While Forest-Starma harvests timber and incurs the resulting operating
expenses throughout the year, it ships timber only from mid-April through
December. As a result, Forest-Starma has incurred, and expects to continue to
incur, seasonal operating losses from fixed costs in the first quarter of Harbor
Global's fiscal year.

In 1999, the timber business reported a net loss, prior to the cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle, of $24.7 million, compared to a net
loss of $21.8 million in 1998. The 1999 net loss includes a reduction in the
carrying value of timber equipment and deferred development costs of
approximately $15.3 million. The $15.3 million adjustment to the cost basis of
the project was recorded in connection with Pioneer Group's realization of
certain United States federal income tax benefits. Prior to the cost basis
adjustment, the timber business' net loss was $9.4 million. The reduction in net
loss from 1998 to 1999 was principally associated with increased production and
prices in 1999. Also, in 1998 Harbor Global wrote-off certain costs incurred in
connection with the Amgun-Forest and Udinskoye projects. In 1997, the timber
business reported a net loss of $4.4 million.

Timber Production and Sales. Harbor Global had timber shipments of 336,000
cubic meters in 1999, compared to 280,000 cubic meters in 1998 and 194,000 cubic
meters in 1997. Production amounted to 313,000 cubic meters in 1999, compared to
248,000 cubic meters in 1998 and 257,000 cubic meters in 1997. Revenue increased
to $14.4 million in 1999, up from $10.5 million in 1998 and $11.9 million in
1997. The average realized price of timber was $43 per cubic meter in 1999,
compared to $37 in 1998 and $61 in 1997. Forest-Starma expects to produce
approximately 325,000 cubic meters in 2000.

Production in 1998 was hindered by a fire disruption, which required the
redeployment of logging crews and equipment to contain the fire. There was
damage to approximately 7.8 million cubic meters of standing timber on 76,000
hectares, as well as 5,500 cubic meters of decked logs. Harbor Global does not
believe the fire damage will have a material impact on production over the next
several years. Harbor Global is continuing negotiations with the territorial
government for both replacement and additional cutting rights.

Cost of Goods Sold. Forest-Starma values its inventory at the lower of
cost or market under the full absorption accounting method and accordingly,
includes operating costs such as payroll, fuel, spare parts, site related
general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization and other
taxes in the cost of goods sold.

Third-Party Debt. Forest-Starma had $5.0 million of external debt
outstanding at December 31, 1999. Scheduled principal and interest payments for
2000 are expected to aggregate $1.7 million. Pioneer Group elected to prepay
this third-party financing obligation in the second quarter of 2000 and expects
that it will be repaid in full prior to the distribution.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

Consolidated Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, Harbor
Global reported a net loss of $4.5 million, consisting of a loss from continuing
operations of $5.8 million and income from discontinued operations of $1.3
million. For the same period in 1999, Harbor Global reported a net loss of $20.3
million, consisting of a loss from continuing operations of $7.3 million and a
loss from discontinued operations of $1.7 million, and the cumulative effect of
a change in accounting principle of $11.3 million to write-off capitalized
start-up costs.

Real Estate Management and Investment Management Operations in
Russia. Revenues from Russian real estate management and investment management
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $4.1 million in 2000,
compared to revenues of $5.7 million for the same period in 1999. The

28
<PAGE> 34

decrease is attributable to a decrease in rental revenues at the Meridian
Commercial Tower. The decrease in rental revenue was attributable to the
restructuring of certain leases, which increased the term of these leases in
exchange for lower current lease rates. The net loss from continuing operations
was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to net income
from continuing operations of $0.3 million for the corresponding period in 1999.
The decrease was largely attributable to the lower revenues at the Meridian
Commercial Tower, coupled with a non-recurring tax credit recorded in 1999.
These decreases were partially offset by increased gains on sales of securities
in 2000.

Polish and Eastern European Venture Capital. The Polish and Eastern
European venture capital operations reported net losses from continuing
operations of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to
net losses of $0.3 million in the comparable period in 1999. The improvement was
largely attributable to operating cost reductions.

Polish Real Estate Management. The Polish real estate management
operations reported losses of $1.7 million in the first six months of 2000,
compared to losses of $2.1 million in the same period in 1999. The improvement
principally represents management fees and cost reductions associated with the
closing of the Polish Real Estate Fund in late 1999.

Timber Business. The results of the timber business are substantially
attributable to the operations of Forest-Starma. The timber business reported
losses of $3.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to a loss
from continuing operations of $3.3 million in the comparable period in 1999.
Production during the six months ended June 30, 2000 was approximately 125,000
cubic meters, which represents a decrease of 21% compared to the corresponding
period in 1999. Forest-Starma recorded a $0.8 million lower of cost or market
write-down of inventory at the end of the second quarter of 2000 due to
unusually adverse weather conditions, which resulted in lower production and
insect damage to approximately 5,000 cubic meters of timber inventory in June of
2000.

During the six months ended June 30, 2000, Forest-Starma shipped 107,000
cubic meters of timber at an average realized price of $50 per cubic meter,
compared to 99,000 cubic meters at $43 per cubic meter in the second quarter of
1999. While Forest-Starma harvests timber and incurs the resulting operating
expenses throughout the year, it typically ships timber only from mid-April
through December. Accordingly, there were no shipments in the first quarters of
2000 and 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Harbor Global's liquidity needs have historically been satisfied through
advances and capital contributions made by Pioneer Group. Other than the $22.6
million to be contributed by Pioneer Group to Harbor Global prior to the
distribution, Harbor Global's cash is generally held by its wholly or majority
owned subsidiaries, and accordingly, it is not available for general corporate
purposes. The $22.6 million that Pioneer Group will contribute to Harbor Global
prior to the distribution will be used to manage the administration and
liquidation of Harbor Global's assets and to discharge certain other
obligations. Based upon budget projections, Harbor Global currently has
sufficient cash, without liquidating any of its assets, to continue to operate
its assets for approximately three years. As such, it may be necessary for
Harbor Global to liquidate some of its assets within three years of the
distribution date to continue to operate its remaining assets pending their
liquidation. If Harbor Global is unable to liquidate some of its assets, it will
require additional funding. Harbor Global may not be able to obtain additional
funding, either in the form of additional capital or debt financing, because of
the nature of its operations, namely its intent to hold its assets for
liquidation and its limited duration. In addition, after the distribution and
the merger, Pioneer Group will not own any Harbor Global common shares, and
Pioneer Group and Harbor Global will operate as two wholly independent
companies. As an independent company, Harbor Global will not be able to obtain
additional funding from Pioneer Group.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Harbor Global monitors its exposure to adverse changes in interest rates,
foreign currency exchange rates and the market price paid for timber.
29
<PAGE> 35

Harbor Global is exposed to certain changes in foreign currency exchange
rates, primarily as a result of its operations in Russia and Poland. The
functional currency of its Russian operations is the United States dollar, while
the functional currency of its Polish operations is the local currency. All of
these operations have some costs denominated in the local currency, which acts
as a natural hedge to the revenues denominated in local currencies.

In addition, Harbor Global conducts timber operations in Russia. The prices
it receives for its timber products are denominated in United States dollars.
However, as most of the timber produced is sold to the Asian markets, the United
States dollar prices have been influenced by changes in the foreign currency
exchange rates. The revenues of this business are also subject to changes in the
market price paid for timber.

BUSINESS

Harbor Global is a Bermuda limited duration company organized in May 2000
to receive various businesses and assets currently owned or operated by Pioneer
Group. Currently, Harbor Global is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pioneer Group.
Following the distribution, all of the outstanding Harbor Global common shares
will be held pro rata by the stockholders of Pioneer Group.

At the time of the distribution, Harbor Global's assets will consist
primarily of the following businesses and assets, each of which is currently
owned or operated by Pioneer Group:

- real estate management and investment management operations in Russia;

- Polish and Eastern European venture capital investment and management
operations;

- Polish real estate management operations;

- timber harvesting and sales in Russia;

- gold exploration operations in Russia;

- the proceeds from the sale of Pioneer Group's gold mining operations in
Ghana; and

- $22.6 million in cash.

Harbor Global will seek to liquidate its assets in a timely fashion on
economically advantageous terms. Harbor Global will operate its assets as going
concern businesses until they are liquidated. Harbor Global's memorandum of
association provides that the liquidation of its assets must be completed upon
the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the date of the distribution of Harbor
Global common shares to its shareholders or the distribution by Harbor Global of
all its assets to its shareholders. If Harbor Global has not liquidated all its
assets before the fifth anniversary of the distribution date, the Harbor Global
board of directors, in its discretion, may authorize Harbor Global to continue
to operate its assets for up to three additional one year periods.

Stephen G. Kasnet will be the President and Chief Executive Officer, and
Donald H. Hunter will be the Chief Operating Officer of Harbor Global. Mr.
Kasnet is currently the President, and Mr. Hunter is currently the Chief
Operating Officer and Senior Vice President of Pioneer Global Investments, a
division of Pioneer Group. As officers of Pioneer Global Investments, Mr. Kasnet
and Mr. Hunter operate substantially all of the businesses that will be owned or
operated by Harbor Global following the distribution. Prior to the distribution,
Harbor Global will enter into an administration and liquidation agreement with
Calypso Management LLC under which Calypso Management will manage the
liquidation of Harbor Global and operate Harbor Global's assets as going concern
businesses pending their liquidation. Calypso Management is owned and operated
by Mr. Kasnet and Mr. Hunter. Mr. Kasnet is the President and Chief Executive
Officer, and Mr. Hunter is the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial
Officer of Calypso Management.

Because Harbor Global's assets are a diverse range of businesses and are
generally located in countries in which successfully conducting and selling
businesses requires significant experience, Harbor Global believes that its
success in liquidating its assets and operating its assets pending their
liquidation will depend to a significant extent upon the continued efforts of
Mr. Kasnet and Mr. Hunter. In order to induce Mr. Kasnet and Mr. Hunter to
become officers of Harbor Global and manage its liquidation, Harbor Global
determined that Mr. Kasnet and Mr. Hunter would receive a portion of the net
proceeds distributed in connection with the liquidation. Calypso Management was
created, in large part, to provide a vehicle for Mr. Kasnet and Mr. Hunter to
allocate the incentive compensation they receive among themselves and other
employees of Calypso Management who provide valuable assistance in connection
with the administration and liquidation of Harbor Global's assets and to
establish an independent business that could be owned by Mr. Kasnet and Mr.
Hunter and continue in existence after the liquidation of Harbor Global.

31
<PAGE> 37

Pioneer Group and Harbor Global do not believe that the terms of the
administration and liquidation agreement negotiated with Calypso Management are
more favorable than the terms, if any, on which Harbor Global could have
negotiated a similar arrangement with an unaffiliated third party. However, for
the reasons stated above, Pioneer Group did not seek to negotiate with any other
third party for the administration and liquidation of Harbor Global. See
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" in this information statement
for more information about the administration and liquidation agreement.

Harbor Global does business in countries outside of the United States,
primarily in Russia and Poland. In the year ended December 31, 1999, nearly all
of Harbor Global's revenues were derived from operations outside of the United
States. Harbor Global's businesses and assets are described below, together with
the principal strategies that Harbor Global currently intends to employ to sell
or liquidate the assets.

Harbor Global intends to change the names of its subsidiaries that
currently contain the "Pioneer" name before the distribution. Accordingly, the
names of some of the Harbor Global subsidiaries used in this information
statement will be changed. For more information see "The Distribution -- The
Distribution Agreement -- Names" in this information statement.

RUSSIAN REAL ESTATE AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

Ownership Structure. Harbor Global's Russian real estate management and
investment management operations will be consolidated under its wholly owned
Delaware subsidiary, Pioneer Omega, Inc. Pioneer Omega owns an approximately 82%
interest in Pioneer First Russia, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the
International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group, owns an
approximately 18% interest in Pioneer First Russia. Pioneer First Russia in turn
operates through two wholly owned subsidiaries, Closed Joint-Stock Company
"Pioneer First," an investment management company (JSC Pioneer First), and
Closed Joint-Stock Company "Pioneer Services," a stockholder services company
(JSC Pioneer Services). Both JSC Pioneer First and JSC Pioneer Services are
Russian joint-stock companies.

In addition, Pioneer Omega, through its two wholly owned Delaware
subsidiaries, Lucinia, Inc. and Theta Enterprises, Inc., holds an approximately
52% interest in Pioneer First Investment Fund, a Russian joint-stock company
managed by JSC Pioneer First.

Currently, approximately two million Russian stockholders hold the
remaining approximately 48% interest in Pioneer First Investment Fund.

Pioneer First Investment Fund. Pioneer First Investment Fund invests
directly in real estate and, to a lesser extent, securities of Russian
companies. A significant portion of the assets of Pioneer First Investment Fund
consists of its ownership of the Meridian Commercial Tower, an 18-story, 22,600
square meter office building in Moscow, Russia. The Meridian Commercial Tower is
primarily occupied by American and European corporate tenants and is managed by
PREA, LLC (formerly Pioneer Real Estate Advisors, Inc.), Harbor Global's real
estate management subsidiary. Pioneer First Investment Fund has agreed to pay
PREA a property management fee of 5% of gross revenues less any value added
taxes or similar taxes. In 1999, Pioneer First Investment Fund paid PREA
approximately $433,000 in property management fees.

PREA leases the Meridian Commercial Tower from Pioneer First Investment
Fund under a master lease agreement and, in turn, subleases the premises to
tenants. The initial term of the master lease agreement between Pioneer First
Investment Fund and PREA will expire in July 2001, but may be extended at the
option of PREA for two additional five-year periods. Under the master lease
agreement PREA pays Pioneer First Investment Fund an amount equal to gross
revenues less building operating expenses, the PREA property management fee
described above and any value added taxes or similar taxes. In 1999, Meridian
Commercial Tower net lease revenues were approximately $8.6 million and
accounted for approximately 90% of the revenues of Pioneer First Investment
Fund.

32
<PAGE> 38

The remaining assets of Pioneer First Investment Fund primarily consist of
real estate related securities, including a 25% interest in the Cosmos Hotel,
located in Moscow, Russia, and securities in Russian companies, some of which
are illiquid.

JSC Pioneer First. Under a management agreement between JSC Pioneer First
and Pioneer First Investment Fund, JSC Pioneer First has agreed to provide
management services to Pioneer First Investment Fund for an annual fee of 5% of
gross assets less any value added taxes or similar taxes. In 1999, Pioneer First
Investment Fund paid JSC Pioneer First an aggregate management fee of
approximately $3.1 million.

JSC Pioneer First also serves as an investment manager to two Russian
open-end unit investment funds having an aggregate market value of $1.9 million
at June 30, 2000. Pioneer First Unit Investment Fund was organized by Pioneer
Group in 1996 and is one of Russia's first open-end unit investment funds.
Pioneer First Unit Investment Fund invests primarily in Russian government
bonds. Pioneer First Liquid Shares was organized by Pioneer Group in 1997 and
invests primarily in Russian securities and government bonds.

As compensation for its investment management services to Pioneer First
Unit Investment Fund and Pioneer First Liquid Shares, JSC Pioneer First receives
annual management fees equal to three percent of the annual net asset value of
the Pioneer First Unit Investment Fund and three and one-half percent of the
annual net asset value of Pioneer First Liquid Shares. In 1999, Pioneer First
Unit Investment Fund and Pioneer First Liquid Shares paid JSC Pioneer First
aggregate management fees of approximately $30,000.

JSC Pioneer Services. Through December 1999, JSC Pioneer Services was the
transfer agent to Pioneer First Investment Fund and Pioneer First Unit
Investment Fund. JSC Pioneer Services maintained the funds' shareholder
registers and provided customer service and technical support to the funds. As a
result of new legislation enacted by the Russian Federal Securities Commission,
Russian funds are currently prohibited from using a registrar which is directly
related to the fund's management company and requires a Russian registrar to
have at least five stockholders and maintain at least 50 registers. Because JSC
Pioneer Services does not meet these three Russian registrar requirements, as of
December 23, 1999, JSC Pioneer Services was no longer licensed to act as a
registrar within the Russian Federation.

As a result, Pioneer First Investment Fund entered into a service contract
with the National Registry Company (NRC) whereby Pioneer First Investment Fund
agreed to pay NRC an annual fee of $50,200 for registrar services. In addition,
JSC Pioneer Services executed an employment agreement with NRC to provide
employees for NRC to service Pioneer First Investment Fund, Pioneer First Unit
Investment Fund and Pioneer First Liquid Shares. Currently JSC Pioneer Services
provides NRC with six employees, and these employees are compensated by JSC
Pioneer Services. JSC Pioneer Services also provides information technology
services to Pioneer First Investment Fund and the two unit funds.

JSC Pioneer Services' operations are supported solely by a transfer agent
fee from Pioneer First Investment Fund. In 1999, Pioneer First Investment Fund
paid JSC Pioneer Services a transfer agent fee of approximately $950,000.

In 1999, 1998 and 1997, Harbor Global's Russian real estate management and
investment management operations had revenues and net income (loss) from
continuing operations as shown in the table below:

Minority Interest in Pioneer First Russia. In connection with the
investment by the International Finance Corporation in Pioneer First Russia, the
International Finance Corporation, Pioneer Omega, Inc. and Pioneer First Russia
entered into a stockholders agreement and a put and call agreement. Under the

33
<PAGE> 39

stockholders agreement, Pioneer Omega may not transfer or pledge its shares of
Pioneer First Russia common stock without the consent of the International
Finance Corporation if, as a result of the transfer or pledge, Pioneer Omega
would cease to own at least 51% of the outstanding shares of Pioneer First
Russia. In addition, under the stockholders agreement, as long as the
International Finance Corporation is a stockholder of Pioneer First Russia, the
International Finance Corporation is entitled to nominate one person to the
Pioneer First Russia board of directors. The approval of the International
Finance Corporation nominated director is required to take actions that may
materially affect the business of Pioneer First Russia.

Under the put and call agreement, from October 2000 to October 2004, upon
written notice to Pioneer Omega, the International Finance Corporation will have
the right to cause Pioneer Omega to purchase all of its shares of Pioneer First
Russia common stock. From October 2004 to October 2006, upon written notice to
the International Finance Corporation, Pioneer Omega will have the right to buy
all of the International Finance Corporation's shares of Pioneer First Russia
common stock. In each case, the purchase price to be paid by Pioneer Omega is
equal to the greater of the International Finance Corporation's pro rata share,
calculated on a fully diluted basis, of Pioneer First Russia's net asset value
on a specified date not more than 30 or less than 60 days from the date of the
notice or 12 times the three year average of the product of net income divided
by the weighted average of the number of shares outstanding during this period
multiplied by the weighted average of shares held by the International Finance
Corporation during this period.

Under the put and call agreement, if the International Finance Corporation
proposes to transfer any of its shares to any party, Pioneer Omega has a right
of first refusal to purchase the shares proposed to be transferred. In addition,
if Pioneer First Russia proposes to issue any of its common stock, or a security
convertible into shares of its common stock, the International Finance
Corporation has a preemptive right to purchase its pro rata portion of the
securities to be issued.

Insurance. Harbor Global currently intends to maintain Overseas Private
Insurance Corporation (OPIC) political risk insurance in an amount that would
protect up to 90% of its equity investment in the Pioneer First Investment Fund
and loans as reduced by cumulative losses.

Asset Realization Strategy. JSC Pioneer First is seeking to increase the
value of the Pioneer First Investment Fund through a process of restructuring
the Pioneer First Investment Fund portfolio by:

- selling securities which are considered illiquid;

- increasing the value of its real estate holdings through the
redevelopment of the Cosmos Hotel;

- investing in real estate and in more liquid securities;

- improving the value of its investments in portfolio companies through
active board representation; and

- exploring alternatives to reduce the number of Pioneer First Investment
Fund stockholders.

PREA is managing, on behalf of Pioneer First Investment Fund, the
redevelopment of the Cosmos Hotel, a moderately priced hotel with approximately
1,770 rooms. PREA currently plans to convert a portion of the hotel into
commercial office space and corporate apartments and upgrade the remaining hotel
facilities. Harbor Global believes that restructuring the Pioneer First
Investment Fund portfolio as described above will maximize the value of Pioneer
First Investment Fund in a sale.

In addition, JSC Pioneer First is seeking to increase the asset level of
the two Russian unit investment funds it manages. Harbor Global believes that by
increasing JSC Pioneer First's assets under management, it will be more likely
to realize economies of scale and to attract additional institutional investors,
which Harbor Global believes will, in turn, maximize the value of Pioneer First
Russia in a sale.

Competition. JSC Pioneer First is seeking to increase its assets under
management by competing for institutional investors for the two Russian unit
investment funds it manages. However, many of its competitors have substantially
greater resources to attract institutional investors.
34
<PAGE> 40

Employees. At August 1, 2000, Pioneer First Russia and its subsidiaries
together with Pioneer First Investment Fund employed 44 persons.

POLISH REAL ESTATE

Ownership Structure. Harbor Global's Polish real estate investment and
management operations will be conducted by PREA. PREA provides real estate
investment opportunities in Poland to institutional investors through a pooled
investment fund, the Polish Real Estate Fund. PREA is based in Boston and
conducts its operations in Russia through a representative office in Moscow, and
in Poland through its wholly owned subsidiary, Pioneer Real Estate Advisors
Poland Sp. z o.o., a Polish limited liability company.

Polish Real Estate Fund. In October 1999, PREA established the Polish Real
Estate Fund, a Polish real property fund with committed capital of $33.5 million
created to invest in a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate in
Poland, including office space, warehouse/distribution centers and retail
centers. PREA has committed to invest $5.7 million and other Polish and
non-United States institutional investors have committed to invest $27.8
million. As of August 1, 2000, PREA had invested approximately $285,000 in the
Polish Real Estate Fund and the other investors had invested a total of $1.57
million. Currently, none of the Polish Real Estate Fund's committed capital has
been invested. After October 20, 2001, the Polish Real Estate Fund may be
liquidated by a vote of stockholders representing three-fourths of the fund's
capital if less than one-third of the fund's capital is invested or committed to
be invested as of October 20, 2001, or if less than two-thirds of the fund's
capital is invested or committed to be invested as of October 21, 2002.

Pioneer Real Estate Advisors Poland has agreed to act as the investment
advisor of the Polish Real Estate Fund for an annual base advisory fee equal to
2% of the Polish Real Estate Fund's net capital and after October 2002, equal to
1 1/2% of net capital, as defined in the investment advisory agreement. In
addition, after the Polish Real Estate Fund stockholders have received a return
of their original capital contributions plus a 10% cumulative annual return,
Pioneer Real Estate Advisors Poland is entitled to an additional annual
incentive advisory fee. In 1999, the Polish Real Estate Fund paid Pioneer Real
Estate Advisors Poland approximately $110,000 in advisory fees.

Under its investment advisory agreement with Pioneer Real Estate Advisors
Poland, the Polish Real Estate Fund may terminate the agreement upon the written
resolution of its stockholders holding two-thirds of its voting shares,
excluding the voting shares held by PREA and its affiliates, if Pioneer Real
Estate Advisors Poland ceases to be directly or indirectly controlled by Pioneer
Group. As a result of the distribution by Pioneer Group of Harbor Global common
shares to Pioneer Group stockholders, the Polish Real Estate Fund stockholders
will have the right to terminate the investment advisory agreement because
Pioneer Group will cease to directly or indirectly control Pioneer Real Estate
Advisors Poland. An investor holding approximately 48% of the voting shares,
excluding the voting shares held by PREA and its affiliates, has indicated its
desire to terminate the investment advisory agreement in connection with the
distribution. If the agreement is terminated, Pioneer Real Estate Advisors
Poland will not be entitled to receive the advisory fee described above.

PREA also provides advisory services to third parties. The scope of its
advisory services includes property management, facilities management,
development management, feasibility and valuation analysis, fund management and
corporate advisory services.

Asset Realization Strategy. PREA is currently negotiating with new
American and Polish investors in an effort to increase the capital commitments
in the Polish Real Estate Fund to approximately $55 million to maximize its
value in a sale.

Competition. PREA is actively competing for institutional investors for
its Polish Real Estate Fund. However, PREA must compete with a large number of
real estate firms, many of which have substantially more resources than those
available to PREA.

Employees. At August 1, 2000, PREA and its subsidiaries had 36 employees,
including two expatriate employees provided by PIOGlobal Corporation, a Delaware
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Harbor Global, and 12 employees of
the Meridian Commercial Tower.

POLISH VENTURE CAPITAL

Ownership Structure. Harbor Global will hold minority interests in two
venture capital partnerships, Pioneer Poland U.S., L.P. and Pioneer Poland UK,
L.P. Together, Pioneer Poland U.S., L.P. and Pioneer Poland UK, L.P. constitute
the Pioneer Poland Fund. Pioneer Poland U.S. (Jersey) Limited, an entity which
will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Harbor Global, holds approximately a 7.2%
interest in Pioneer Poland U.S., L.P. and approximately a 9.2% interest in
Pioneer Poland UK, L.P. In addition, Pioneer Poland U.S. Limited holds a 59.5%
interest in the general partner of the Pioneer Poland Fund.

Pioneer Poland Fund. At June 30, 2000, the Pioneer Poland Fund had
approximately $60.6 million in committed capital of which approximately $47.1
million has been invested in 10 privately held Polish companies engaged in:

- computer distribution;

- stainless steel distribution;

- the restaurant business;

- food distribution;

- wood products manufacturing;

- automotive parts distribution;

- book distribution;

- the video rental business; and

- disposable diaper manufacturing.

Pioneering Management Limited, an entity which will be an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of Harbor Global, manages the Pioneer Poland Fund. Pioneering
Management Limited entered into a sub-advisory contract with Pioneer Investments
Poland Sp. z o.o. by which Pioneer Investments Poland manages the investments
and makes investment decisions on behalf of the Pioneer Poland Fund. Under its
joint management agreement with the Pioneer Poland Fund, Pioneering Management
is entitled to a management fee equal to 2% of the carried capital of the fund.
In 1999, the Pioneer Poland Fund paid Pioneering Management Limited a management
fee of $1.2 million.

Asset Realization Strategy. The Pioneer Poland Fund currently intends to
maximize stockholder value by selling its investments in its portfolio
companies. Harbor Global expects the Pioneer Poland Fund to be sold or fully
liquidated by the end of 2003.

Competition. The Pioneer Poland Fund currently does not intend to seek new
investments.

Employees. At August 1, 2000, the Polish venture capital business had 13
employees.

RUSSIAN TIMBER

Ownership Structure. Harbor Global's Russian timber operations will be
conducted through its indirect subsidiaries Closed Joint-Stock Company
"Forest-Starma," Closed Joint-Stock Company "Udinskoye" and Closed Joint-Stock
Company "Amgun-Forest". These three companies will be consolidated under Pioneer
Forest, LLC, a wholly owned Delaware subsidiary of Harbor Global. Udinskoye is a
wholly owned subsidiary, and Amgun-Forest is an approximately 99.5% owned
subsidiary of Pioneer Forest. Of the three companies, Forest-Starma is the only
company currently engaged in timber operations. Forest-Starma, which is located
on Siziman Bay in the Vanino district of the Khabarovsk Territory of the Russian
Far East, owns and operates a modern logging camp, including a harbor facility,
from which it exports timber to markets in the Pacific Rim, primarily Japan and
South Korea.

36
<PAGE> 42

Leasehold and Cutting Rights. Forest-Starma, Amgun-Forest and Udinskoye
have each been granted long-term leases that provide significant leasehold
acreage and annual cutting rights. In the aggregate, the three subsidiaries have
been granted long-term leasehold rights comprising 1,076,500 hectares
(approximately 2.7 million acres), with annual cutting rights of approximately
1.2 million cubic meters. Each of the leases has a 49-year term with expiration
dates ranging from 2046 to 2047. The current leasehold rights of each of the
subsidiaries appear in the table below:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
FOREST-STARMA AMGUN-FOREST UDINSKOYE
------------- ------------ ---------
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Hectares (Acres)............................... 390,100 485,400 201,000
(964,000) (1,200,000) (497,000)
Annual Cutting Rights (m(3))................... 555,000 350,000 300,000
</TABLE>

Currently, the local timber authorities are reviewing the cutting rights
for Forest-Starma and Udinskoye. Because of losses due to natural drying and
other causes, Harbor Global expects that its annual cutting rights in those
areas where Forest-Starma and Udinskoye currently has leasehold rights will be
reduced. However, Harbor Global is currently negotiating with the territorial
government to obtain replacement cutting rights in the surrounding area.

In addition, Harbor Global has commenced the process of unifying the
Udinskoye and Forest-Starma leaseholds. This process requires that Udinskoye
tender its leasehold rights back to the Russian state in order for the Russian
state to tender these rights to Forest-Starma.

Timber Operations. Forest-Starma seeks to harvest timber according to
international sustainable development standards using advanced planning and
implementation of the management practices as defined in the United States
Forest Service stewardship guidelines and the United Nations Conference on
Environment and Development principles. Production crews consisting, in the
aggregate, of four harvesters, eight skidders, and five processors form the
nucleus of the logging operation. The harvesters cut the trees, which are then
skidded to processors that delimb the timber. The logs are hauled on company
constructed roads by log trucks approximately 50 kilometers to a lower landing
log yard for sorting and scaling prior to shipment. The lower landing is
equipped with log loaders and other equipment necessary for maintaining the log
yard and delivering sorted logs to the self-constructed harbor for shipment.
Sorted logs are delivered to the Siziman Bay harbor based upon a manifest
received from Forest-Starma's marketing and sales agent, Rayonier, Inc. The logs
are then delivered to the dock and placed on ships by crane. Forest-Starma has
constructed and maintains a self-contained camp with living quarters for between
250 and 300 workers, a modern maintenance and parts facility, on-site offices
and sophisticated communications equipment.

During the period between January and mid-April, the Siziman Bay harbor
typically is frozen, which prevents the delivery of harvested timber. In January
2000, Forest-Starma entered into an agreement with Rayonier, Inc. to receive
prepayment for timber production during this period. This arrangement allows
Forest-Starma to cover ongoing expenditures prior to commencement of the
shipping season. Forest-Starma has already shipped sufficient amounts of logs to
Rayonier to repay all advances made to Forest-Starma under this agreement.

In 1999, Forest-Starma shipped 56% of its timber to ten customers in South
Korea, 35% of its timber to six customers in Japan and 9% of its timber to three
customers in China. The following chart shows Forest-Starma's total production
and shipments of timber during the last three years.

Insurance. In connection with Harbor Global's investment in Forest-Starma,
it currently intends to maintain OPIC political risk insurance in an amount that
would protect up to 90% of its equity investment in Forest-Starma and loans as
reduced by cumulative losses. In addition, Harbor Global intends to maintain
business income loss insurance of up to $5 million for Forest-Starma.

Asset Realization Strategy. Harbor Global is actively exploring strategic
alternatives with respect to its timber operations, including joint venture
opportunities and the sale of Pioneer Forest or its subsidiaries. Harbor Global
is also currently pursuing the potential sale of Amgun-Forest.

Employees. At August 1, 2000, Forest-Starma had 476 employees, including
11 expatriate employees provided by PIOGlobal Corporation, a Delaware
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Harbor Global.

RUSSIAN GOLD EXPLORATION

Ownership Structure. Harbor Global's Russian gold exploration operations
will be conducted through its indirect majority owned Russian subsidiary, Closed
Joint-Stock Company "Tas-Yurjah" Mining Company. Harbor Far East Exploration,
LLC, an entity which will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Harbor Global, will
own a 94.5% direct interest and a 0.6% indirect interest in Tas-Yurjah.

Gold Exploration. Tas-Yurjah conducts the exploration of potential gold
mining properties over concession areas in the Ayano-Maysky district of the
Khabarovsk Territory. Tas-Yurjah has secured four licenses which permit it to
conduct geological exploration activities over aggregate concession areas
totaling 909.7 square kilometers. Two of these licenses also allow for mining in
their respective concession areas and require that production commence at
specified levels in 2001 to maintain their validity. In addition, Tas-Yurjah
will forfeit its exploration and mining licenses if it fails to comply with
other covenants, which include:

- meeting Russian environmental standards;

- meeting Russian health and safety standards for its employees;

- taking part in the social and economic development of the Ayano-Maysky
district of the Khabarovsk Territory; and

- preferential hiring of the Ayano-Maysky population.

Tas-Yurjah has completed a number of feasibility studies on the Red Zone and has
conducted preliminary studies of the mineral deposits in the Malyutka Zone but
has not developed any part of the concession area for extraction operations. In
addition, Tas-Yurjah is presently exploring other zones in the concession area.

As of December 31, 1999, Pioneer Group had spent a total of approximately
$6.4 million for exploration work related to Tas-Yurjah, $1.0 million of which
was spent in 1999.

Asset Realization Strategy. Harbor Global is actively exploring strategic
alternatives with respect to Tas-Yurjah, including the sale of its interest in
Tas-Yurjah.

Employees. At August 1, 2000, Tas-Yurjah had 38 employees, including 26
seasonal employees.

OTHER ASSETS

Cash. Under the distribution agreement, prior to the distribution date,
Pioneer Group will contribute $22.6 million to Harbor Global. Harbor Global
believes that this cash contribution will be sufficient to pay the expenses,
capital commitments and liabilities, if any, associated with the operation of
its assets for a period of approximately three years.

Ashanti Proceeds. In May 2000, Pioneer Goldfields II Limited, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Harbor Global, sold its gold mining operations in Ghana to
Ashanti Goldfields Teberebie Limited for an $18.8 million base purchase price
plus additional payments of up to $5 million contingent upon the market price of
gold and productivity of the Ghanaian goldmine. On June 19, 2000, $5 million of
the base purchase price was paid to Pioneer Goldfields II in cash and $13.8
million of the base purchase price was paid in the form of a non-interest
bearing promissory note. Under the promissory note, Ashanti is obligated to pay
the purchase price over five years, with principal amounts of between $2.0
million and $3.75 million due annually, as specified in the purchase agreement.

In connection with the sale to Ashanti, each of Pioneer Goldfields II and
Pioneer Group agreed to indemnify Ashanti for the breach of any representation
or warranty of Pioneer Goldfields II contained in the purchase agreement for an
amount not to exceed the total purchase price paid by Ashanti to Pioneer
Goldfields II under the purchase agreement. The representations and warranties
contained in the purchase agreement, other than those relating to tax and
environmental issues, survive until June 19, 2002. The tax and environmental
representations and warranties survive the closing of the purchase agreement
until June 19, 2005. Under the distribution agreement, Harbor Global has agreed
to reimburse Pioneer Group for any liability it incurs in connection with any
claim brought by Ashanti for indemnification under the purchase agreement. See
"The Distribution -- The Distribution Agreement -- Indemnification" in this
information statement for more information about Harbor Global's obligation to
indemnify Pioneer Group.

In addition, under the distribution agreement, Harbor Global has agreed
that promptly after the fifth anniversary of the closing of the purchase
agreement it will pay to Pioneer Group the lesser of $5 million or the proceeds
received by Pioneer Goldfields II from Ashanti under the purchase agreement less
any indemnification claims paid under the purchase agreement. If any
indemnification claim under the purchase agreement is pending on June 19, 2005,
Harbor Global will pay the appropriate amount described above promptly upon
resolution of the pending claim or claims.

Metals. Harbor Global will own a 25% interest in Pioneer Metals and
Technology. Pioneer Metals and Technology is engaged in the production and sale
of powdered metals, in particular neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnet powders,
as well as the production of permanent magnets and permanent magnet assemblies.
Pioneer Metals and Technology is also engaged in the production and distribution
of titanium powders, titanium-vanadium-aluminum powders and nickel powders and
powdered alloys for aerospace and industrial applications.

These activities are largely carried out in Russia through Pioneer Metals
International, Pioneer Metals and Technology's wholly owned Russian subsidiary,
and through Gradient, a joint venture located in Moscow, 50% of which is owned
by Pioneer Metals International and 50% of which is owned by Kompozit, a leading
Russian materials company.

Pioneer Metals and Technology is involved in the commercial development of
the "lean neo" line of neodymium-iron-boron magnetic powders and magnets.

agreement to lease space independent of Pioneer Group at 60 State Street,
Boston, Massachusetts prior to the distribution.

PREA and its subsidiaries conduct some of their Polish real estate
management and advisory services operations in Warsaw, Poland and Moscow,
Russia. Pioneer Real Estate Advisors Poland Sp. z o.o. leases 1,930 square feet

Although Mr. Kasnet, Mr. Hunter and Ms. Mannick will be executive officers of

$325,000 as an annual base salary for his services as President and Chief

- voluntarily terminated his employment with either Harbor Global or
Calypso Management;

- committed an act, in connection with the performance of his services with
Calypso Management or Harbor Global constituting bad faith, fraud or
willful misconduct;

- willfully failed to carry out a vote of Harbor Global's board of
directors which results in material economic harm to Harbor Global; or

(1) The inclusion of shares of common stock listed as beneficially owned does
not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership of those shares.

(2) Includes options that will be exercisable on the distribution date due to
the full acceleration of vesting of these options in connection with the
merger.

(3) For purposes of this table, the percentage of outstanding shares of common
stock is adjusted for each director and executive officer to include the
number of shares of Pioneer Group common stock into which the listed options
held by such director or executive officer will be exercisable.

(4) The Harbor Global pro forma ownership calculations assume that directors or
officers will not exercise any of their currently exercisable options prior
to closing the merger, and therefore, that these persons will not receive

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The businesses that Harbor Global will conduct have engaged in transactions
with Pioneer Group in the past, some of which included various types of
financial support by Pioneer Group. These transactions were often on terms more
favorable to the businesses conducted by Harbor Global than would otherwise have
been attainable in similar transactions with unaffiliated third parties.
Following the distribution, Harbor Global will continue to have a relationship
with Pioneer Group only as a result of the distribution agreement and the tax
separation agreement entered into in connection with the distribution. The
transactions contemplated between Harbor Global and Pioneer Group by the
distribution agreement and the tax separation agreement are described in "The
Distribution" in this information statement. In addition, Harbor Global and
Pioneer Group may enter into an agreement under which Pioneer Group may agree to
provide corporate administrative, information and technology and other support
to Harbor Global for a limited transition period.

Other than as contemplated by the distribution agreement and tax separation
agreement, following the distribution, Harbor Global and Pioneer Group will not
have any material contractual or other material relationships with each other,
and transactions between Harbor Global and Pioneer Group will be conducted on an
arms-length basis.

Harbor Global is expected to enter into an administration and liquidation
agreement with Calypso Management LLC pursuant to which Calypso Management will
manage the liquidation of Harbor Global and operate Harbor Global's assets
pending their liquidation. Calypso Management LLC is owned and operated by Mr.
Kasnet and Mr. Hunter. Mr. Kasnet is the President and Chief Executive Officer
and Mr. Hunter is the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of
Calypso Management. Calypso Management will perform its services pursuant to
operating plans and budgets approved by the Harbor Global board of directors in
accordance with the administration and liquidation agreement. In addition, key
employees of Calypso Management will perform their services as officers of
Harbor Global under the supervision of the Harbor Global board of directors.

The administration and liquidation agreement is expected to provide that
Harbor Global will pay the operating expenses of Calypso Management incurred in
connection with the provision of services to Harbor Global. These operating
expenses are expected to include annual salaries for Mr. Kasnet and Mr. Hunter
of $325,000 and $250,000, respectively, plus annual bonuses of up to 100% of
such base salary, depending upon the achievement of performance goals to be
established by the Harbor Global board of directors. The operating expenses are
also expected to include the annual salaries of Ms. Mannick and other employees
of Calypso Management. Calypso Management will provide the services of Mr.
Kasnet, Mr. Hunter and Ms. Mannick and other employees to act as officers and
employees of Harbor Global. The provision of services to Harbor Global by
Calypso Management, Mr. Kasnet and Mr. Hunter will be exclusive, and Calypso
Management, Mr. Kasnet and Mr. Hunter will not render services to other persons
or entities without the prior written consent of the Harbor Global board of
directors.

As compensation for its provision of services to Harbor Global, Calypso
Management is expected to receive a portion of the net proceeds distributed from
the liquidation of Harbor Global's assets, generally according to the following
schedule:

- with respect to the first $36 million in net proceeds available for
distribution, Calypso Management shall receive a payment equal to 10% of
such net proceeds;

- with respect to the next $72 million in net proceeds available for
distribution, Calypso Management shall receive a payment equal to 7.5% of
such net proceeds; and

- with respect to any additional net proceeds, Calypso Management shall
receive a payment equal to 10% of such net proceeds.

Net proceeds will not include any unexpended portion of the $22.6 million
contributed by Pioneer Group to Harbor Global. In addition, the proceeds
received by Pioneer Goldfields II in connection with the sale of its Ghanaian
gold mine to Ashanti will not be subject to the preceding schedule. Instead,
Calypso Management will receive only 5% of the Ashanti proceeds that are
distributed, if any. Any portion of the net proceeds from the liquidation of
Harbor Global's assets prior to the second anniversary of the
46
<PAGE> 52

distribution date to which Calypso Management is entitled will be aggregated and
paid to Calypso Management on the second anniversary of the distribution date.

The administration and liquidation agreement is expected to have a term
ending upon the liquidation of Harbor Global, but may be terminated by either
Calypso Management or Harbor Global upon 120 days prior written notice to the
other following the second anniversary of the distribution date. If Harbor
Global elects to terminate the agreement in accordance with the preceding
sentence, Mr. Kasnet may commit, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the
Harbor Global board of directors, to continue his employment with Harbor Global
pursuant to the administration and liquidation agreement and with Calypso
Management pursuant to his employment agreement (which is described below) for
an additional minimum period of one year, or a longer period as determined by
Mr. Kasnet and the Harbor Global board of directors. In addition, Harbor Global
may terminate the agreement in the event of:

- Mr. Kasnet's death or disability or other termination of his employment
with Calypso Management;

- an uncured failure by Calypso Management to follow a reasonable direction
of the Harbor Global board of directors;

- a material breach by Mr. Kasnet of his employment agreement with Calypso
Management; or

- an act by Calypso Management in connection with its services to Harbor
Global constituting bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct.

Calypso Management will not be entitled to the payments described above
following a termination of the agreement. However, in the event of Mr. Kasnet's
death or disability prior to the second anniversary of the distribution date,
Calypso Management will remain entitled to receive its deferred allocation of
any net proceeds distributed prior to such event. As part of the administration
and liquidation agreement, Calypso Management will agree to customary
confidentiality and noncompetition covenants with respect to Harbor Global.

In addition, under the administration and liquidation agreement Harbor
Global is obligated to pay a $1.8 million signing and retention bonus to Mr.
Kasnet following the second anniversary of the distribution date if Mr. Kasnet
has not:

- voluntarily terminated his employment with either Harbor Global or
Calypso Management;

- committed an act, in connection with the performance of his services with
Calypso Management or Harbor Global constituting bad faith, fraud or
willful misconduct;

- willfully failed to carry out a vote of Harbor Global's board of
directors which results in material economic harm to Harbor Global; or

- become disabled.

Mr. Kasnet and Mr. Hunter are each expected to enter into employment
agreements with Calypso Management. The employment agreements will provide for
salaries and bonuses as described above in connection with the administration
and liquidation agreement. Mr. Kasnet's employment agreement is expected to have
a term ending upon the liquidation of Harbor Global, but may be terminated by
Mr. Kasnet upon 120 days prior written notice to Calypso Management and Harbor
Global following the second anniversary of the distribution date. The employment
agreement is expected to provide that Mr. Kasnet will be entitled to receive 50%
of the amounts paid by Harbor Global to Calypso Management from the liquidation
of Harbor Global's assets. If Mr. Kasnet is paid the $1.8 million signing and
retention bonus as described above, his allocation percentage will be reduced to
33 1/3% of amounts paid by Harbor Global to Calypso Management with respect to
distributions of more than $36 million in the aggregate and

47
<PAGE> 53

less than $108 million in the aggregate. Calypso Management, at the direction of
the Harbor Global board of directors, may terminate Mr. Kasnet in the event he:

- materially breaches the employment agreement or the administration and
liquidation agreement;

- is convicted of a felony;

- fails to follow a reasonable direction of the Harbor Global board of
directors; or

- becomes disabled.

Mr. Hunter's employment agreement is expected to provide that Mr. Hunter's
employment with Calypso Management will be at will, subject to termination by
either Calypso Management or Mr. Hunter upon 60 days prior written notice. If
Calypso Management terminates Mr. Hunter other than for cause prior to the
second anniversary of the distribution date, Calypso Management will be
obligated to pay Mr. Hunter $300,000. The employment agreement is also expected
to provide that Mr. Hunter will be entitled to receive 30% of the amounts paid
by Harbor Global to Calypso Management from the liquidation of Harbor Global's
assets. If Mr. Hunter remains employed by Calypso Management on the second
anniversary of the distribution date, Calypso Management is obligated to pay Mr.
Hunter a retention payment of $300,000, which amount will be reduced dollar for
dollar by any deferred amounts payable to him on that date from the liquidation
of Harbor Global's assets.

DESCRIPTION OF HARBOR GLOBAL SHARE CAPITAL

Your rights as a holder of Harbor Global common shares will be governed by
Bermuda law and Harbor Global's memorandum of association and bye-laws. The
following is a summary of certain provisions of Bermuda law and Harbor Global's
memorandum of association and bye-laws. This summary may not contain all of the
information that may be important to you. You should carefully read the
memorandum of association and bye-laws of Harbor Global, copies of which have
been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as exhibits to Harbor
Global's registration statement on Form 10, of which this information statement
is a part. For information on how you may obtain a copy of Harbor Global's
memorandum of association and bye-laws, see "Where You Can Find Additional
Information" in this information statement.

Under Harbor Global's memorandum of association, Harbor Global's authorized
share capital consists of 12,000,000 common shares, par value $.01 per share,
and 1,000,000 preferred shares, par value $.01 per share. Pioneer Group
currently owns 1,200,000 Harbor Global common shares. No Harbor Global preferred
shares have been issued. Prior to the distribution, Harbor Global will effect a
four-for-one stock split of its common shares and Pioneer Group will purchase
enough additional Harbor Global common shares so that it may distribute one
Harbor Global common share for every five shares of Pioneer Group common stock
held by you immediately before closing the merger. After giving effect to the
four-for-one stock split, Harbor Global's authorized common share capital will
consist of 48,000,000 common shares, par value $.0025, of which Pioneer Group
will own 4,800,000 shares. Based on the number of shares of Pioneer Group common
stock outstanding on July 31, 2000, immediately following the distribution
approximately 5,397,918 million Harbor Global common shares will be outstanding.
This amount may increase prior to the distribution date due to the issuance of
shares of Pioneer Group common stock upon the exercise of outstanding options.
All of the Harbor Global common shares to be distributed to you in the
distribution will be fully paid and nonassessable.

COMMON SHARES

Each outstanding Harbor Global common share is entitled to one vote on all
matters submitted to a vote of Harbor Global shareholders, including the
election of directors. There are no cumulative voting rights. As a holder of
Harbor Global common shares you are entitled to receive dividends if, when and
as declared by the board of directors out of assets legally available for the
payment of dividends. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up
of Harbor Global, Harbor Global's assets will be distributed pro rata among the
holders of Harbor Global common shares after satisfaction in full of its debts
and liabilities. The holders of Harbor Global common shares have no preemptive,
redemption, conversion or subscription rights and there are no sinking fund
provisions. The rights, powers, preferences and privileges of holders of Harbor
Global common shares are subject to, and may be impaired by, the rights of any
preferred shares that Harbor Global may designate and issue in the future.

PREFERRED SHARES

Under Harbor Global's bye-laws, the Harbor Global board of directors is
authorized, without further shareholder approval, to issue an aggregate of
1,000,000 preferred shares in one or more classes or series and to fix the
voting powers, if any, and the preferences, privileges and restrictions of the
preferred shares, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights,
terms of redemption, redemption prices and liquidation preferences of any class
or series of preferred shares. Although the board of directors does not
presently intend to do so, it could issue preferred shares with rights that
could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of Harbor
Global common shares without obtaining the approval of its shareholders. In
addition, the issuance of preferred shares could delay or prevent a change in
control of Harbor Global without further action by its shareholders.

BERMUDA LAW AND ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS OF HARBOR GLOBAL'S MEMORANDUM OF
ASSOCIATION AND BYE-LAWS

Meetings of Shareholders. Under Bermuda law, a company is required to
convene at least one general shareholders' meeting per calendar year. Bermuda
law provides that a special general meeting must be convened by the board of
directors upon the request of shareholders holding not less than 10% of the
paid-up capital of the company having the right to vote. Bermuda law also
requires that shareholders be given at least five days' advance notice of a
general meeting. Harbor Global's bye-laws provide that the accidental omission
of notice to any person does not invalidate the proceedings at the meeting.
Harbor Global's bye-laws require that at least five days' advance notice of an
annual general meeting or a special general meeting be given to each
shareholder.

Shareholder Action. Under Bermuda law, the number of shareholders
constituting a quorum at any general meeting of shareholders is determined by
the bye-laws of the company. Harbor Global's bye-laws provide that a minimum of
two persons present in person and representing in person or by proxy in excess
of 50% of the total issued voting shares of Harbor Global constitutes a quorum.
Any action to be taken by Harbor Global shareholders at a general meeting or
special general meeting may be taken by unanimous written consent of the
shareholders without a meeting and without previous notice being given.

Election or Removal of Directors. Under Harbor Global's bye-laws, the
initial directors are elected for a term expiring at the annual general meeting
immediately following the fifth anniversary of the date of the distribution of
Harbor Global common shares to Pioneer Group stockholders or until their
successors are elected or appointed, unless they resign or are earlier removed.
Subsequent directors are elected at the annual general meeting for a term of
three years or until their successors are elected or appointed, unless they
resign or are earlier removed.

Harbor Global's bye-laws provide that a director may only be removed for
cause at a special general meeting of shareholders specifically called for that
purpose. The director whose removal is sought must be served with at least 14
days' notice of the meeting, and the director has a right to be heard at the
meeting. Any vacancy created by the removal of a director at a special general
meeting may be filled by the shareholders and, in the absence of an election or
appointment by the shareholders, by the board.

Advance Notice Requirements for Shareholder Nominations and
Proposals. Under Harbor Global's bye-laws, a shareholder seeking (1) to bring
business before an annual general meeting or special general meeting or (2) to
nominate candidates for election as directors must provide Harbor Global with
timely written notice of the nomination or proposal. To be timely, notice in
connection with a special meeting must be received by Harbor Global not less
than 60 nor more than 90 days before the meeting, and notice before an annual
general meeting must be received by Harbor Global not less than 60 nor more than
90 days before the anniversary date of the prior year's annual general meeting,
excluding, in each case, the meeting date and the date the notice is received by
Harbor Global. The notice must contain the name and business background of the
person to be nominated as director and all material information on any proposal
and any additional information the board of directors may specify from time to
time.

Shareholder Proposals. Under The Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, Harbor
Global must circulate notice of a properly supported shareholder requisition
proposing a resolution to be passed on at the next annual general meeting of the
company, together with a statement of up to 1,000 words in response to the
proposed resolution. The resolution must be supported by the lesser of 100
shareholders or shareholders representing 5% of the total voting power eligible
to vote at the meeting at which the resolution is proposed to be passed. Unless
Harbor Global determines otherwise, the resolution and notice will be circulated
at the expense of the shareholders making the requisition. The requisition
proposing a resolution must be deposited at the registered office of the company
not less than six weeks before the annual general meeting.

50
<PAGE> 56

Access to Books and Records and Dissemination of Information. Members of
the general public have the right to inspect the public documents of a Bermuda
company which are available at the office of the Registrar of Companies in
Bermuda. These documents include:

- Harbor Global's memorandum of association; and

- any amendment of Harbor Global's memorandum of association.

In addition, under Bermuda law Harbor Global's shareholders have the right
to inspect:

- Harbor Global's bye-laws;

- minutes of Harbor Global's general meetings; and

- audited financial statements of Harbor Global, which must be presented to
shareholders at the annual general meeting.

Additionally, Harbor Global's register of shareholders is open to
inspection by its shareholders free of charge and to members of the general
public upon the payment of a fee. Harbor Global is required to maintain its
share register in Bermuda. Harbor Global is required to keep at its registered
office a register of its directors and officers which is open for inspection for
not less than two hours each day by members of the public without charge. Other
than as described above, Bermuda law does not provide a general right for
shareholders to inspect or obtain copies of any other corporate records.

Amendment of Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws. Bermuda law provides
that the memorandum of association of a company may be amended by a resolution
passed at a general meeting of shareholders after due notice has been given. An
amendment to the objects set out in Harbor Global's memorandum of association
may require the approval of the Bermuda Minister of Finance, who may grant or
withhold approval at his or her discretion. Under Bermuda law, the directors may
amend the bye-laws with the approval of the shareholders representing a majority
of Harbor Global's outstanding voting shares at a general meeting.

Under Bermuda law, the holders of at least 20% of any class of a company's
issued share capital have the right to apply to the Bermuda courts for an
annulment of any amendment to the company's memorandum of association adopted by
shareholders at any general meeting, other than an amendment which alters or
reduces a company's share capital as provided in the Companies Act. Where such
an application is made, the amendment becomes effective only to the extent that
it is confirmed by the Bermuda courts. An application for annulment of any
amendment of the memorandum of association must be made within 21 days after the
date on which the resolution altering the company's memorandum is passed and may
be made on behalf of the persons entitled to make the application by one or more
of shareholders as they may appoint in writing for that purpose. Persons voting
in favor of an amendment may not make an application for its annulment.

Duties of Directors and Officers. The Companies Act 1981 imposes a duty to
act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company
and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person
would exercise in comparable circumstances upon each director and officer of a
Bermuda company. A Bermuda court is unlikely to interfere with decision of
directors unless one of these two duties is breached. The court must find that
the director acted in bad faith or that no reasonable board of directors could
have come to the decision that was reached.

Interested Directors. Harbor Global's bye-laws provide that any director,
or a firm, partner or company associated with a director, may act in a
professional capacity for Harbor Global, and will be entitled to remuneration
for those services. However, a director or a firm, partner or company associated
with a director, may not act as auditor of Harbor Global's accounts.

The bye-laws also provide that a director who has a direct or indirect
material interest, in a contract or other arrangement with Harbor Global must
disclose the nature of his or her interest as required by the Companies Act.
Following this disclosure, unless the chairman of the board of directors
disqualifies the interested director, the interested director may be counted in
the quorum and vote in respect of any
51
<PAGE> 57

contract or other arrangement in which he or she is interested and will not be
liable for any profit realized in connection with the contract or other
arrangement.

Appraisal Rights and Shareholder Suits. Under Bermuda law, in the event of
a consolidation, amalgamation or merger with one or more companies, if a
shareholder is not satisfied that fair value has been offered for his or her
shares, he or she may apply to the Bermuda courts to appraise the fair value of
the shares.

Except as described below, class actions and derivative actions against a
Bermuda company are not available to shareholders under Bermuda law. Bermuda
courts ordinarily would be expected to follow English case law precedent, which
would permit a shareholder to commence an action in the name of a company to
remedy a wrong done to the company where the act complained of is alleged to be
an act that cannot be confirmed by a majority of shareholders because the act:

- is beyond the corporate power of the company;

- is illegal;

- is a fraud on the minority shareholders and the wrongdoers are in control
of the company; or

- infringes personal rights of an individual shareholder.

When the affairs of a company are being conducted in a manner oppressive or
prejudicial to the interests of one or more of the shareholders, a shareholder
may apply to the Bermuda courts for an order to regulate the company's conduct
of affairs in the future or order the purchase of the shares held by the
shareholder by other shareholders or by the company.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements. Harbor Global may acquire the business
of another Bermuda company similarly exempt from Bermuda taxes or a company
incorporated outside Bermuda and carry on the acquired company's business when
it is within the corporate powers specified in its memorandum of association.
Harbor Global may also consolidate, amalgamate or merge with another Bermuda
company or with a body incorporated outside Bermuda upon the approval of the
board of directors and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
the company, including any shares that would otherwise be non-voting shares.

Takeovers. Bermuda law provides that where an offer is made for shares of
another company and within four months of the offer, the holders of not less
than 90% of the shares which are the subject of the offer accept the offer, the
offeror may give notice to the non-tendering shareholders requiring them to
transfer their shares to the offeror on the same terms as the initial offer.
Dissenting shareholders may object to the transfer by applying to the Bermuda
courts for relief within one month of the offeror's notice. The burden is on the
dissenting shareholders to show that the court should exercise its discretion to
enjoin the required transfer, which a Bermuda court will be unlikely to do
unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion between the offeror
and the holders of the shares who have accepted the offer as a means of unfairly
forcing minority shareholders out of the company.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

Harbor Global's bye-laws provide that it will indemnify its directors,
officers and any liquidator or trustee acting in relation to any of Harbor
Global's affairs, including the heirs, executors or administrators of these
indemnified persons, from all expenses incurred as a result of any act done,
concurred in or omitted in execution of their duty, so long as the action or
inaction does not involve fraud or dishonesty. In addition, Harbor Global's
bye-laws also provide that each shareholder agrees to waive any claim or right
of action, whether individually or by right of Harbor Global, against any
director or officer as a result of any action taken or omitted in execution of
his or her duty, so long as the action or inaction does not involve fraud or
dishonesty or the recovery of any gain, personal profit or advantage to which
the director or officer is not legally entitled.

52
<PAGE> 58

Currently, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any
director, officer, liquidator or trustee of Harbor Global in which
indemnification will be required or permitted. Harbor Global is not aware of any
threatened or pending litigation or proceeding which may result in a claim for
indemnification.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The transfer agent and registrar for Harbor Global's common shares is
EquiServe Limited Partnership.

MATERIAL FOREIGN ISSUER CONSIDERATIONS

Foreign Exchange Control Regulations. Harbor Global has obtained the
permission of the Bermuda Monetary Authority for the distribution of its common
shares to you and has been designated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority as a
non-resident exempted company for exchange control purposes. As such, Harbor
Global is exempted from the provisions of Bermuda law that require at least 60%
of a Bermuda company's equity to be owned by Bermudians. This designation allows
Harbor Global to engage in transactions, or to pay dividends to non-residents of
Bermuda who are holders of Harbor Global common shares in currencies other than
the Bermuda Dollar.

The transfer of shares between persons regarded as resident outside Bermuda
for exchange control purposes and the issue of shares after the completion of
distribution to or by non-resident persons may take place without specific
consent under the Exchange Control Act 1972. The issuance or transfer of shares
involving any person regarded as resident in Bermuda for exchange control
purposes requires specific prior approval of the Bermuda Monetary Authority
under the Exchange Control Act 1972.

Harbor Global shareholders who are not Bermuda residents are not restricted
in the exercise of the rights to hold or vote their shares. Because Harbor
Global has been designated as a non-resident for Bermuda exchange control
purposes, there are no restrictions on its ability to transfer funds in and out
of Bermuda or to pay dividends to United States residents who are holders of
Harbor Global common shares, as long as the transactions are not effected in the
Bermuda Dollar.

Under Bermuda law, registration of share ownership is only required to be
in the names of corporations or individuals. In the case of an applicant acting
in a special capacity (for example as a trustee), the register may, at the
request of the applicant, record the capacity in which the applicant is acting,
but Harbor Global is not bound to investigate or incur any responsibility in
respect of the proper administration of the trust. Harbor Global will take no
notice of any trust applicable to any of its shares whether or not it has notice
of the trust.

As an exempted company, Harbor Global may not participate in certain
business transactions, including:

- acquiring or leasing land in Bermuda, except as required for Harbor
Global's business and then for a term of not more than 50 years, without
the express authorization of the Bermuda legislature;

- taking mortgages on land in Bermuda to secure an amount in excess of
$50,000 without the consent of the Bermuda Minister of Finance;

- the acquisition of any bonds or debentures secured by any land in
Bermuda, other than certain types of Bermuda government securities; or

- carrying on business of any kind in Bermuda, except in furtherance of
Harbor Global's business carried on outside Bermuda or under a license
granted by the Bermuda Minister of Finance.

The Bermuda government actively encourages foreign investment in exempted
entities which, like Harbor Global, are based in Bermuda but do not operate in
competition with local business.

Reciprocal Recognition and Enforcement of Civil Judgements. Harbor Global
has been advised by its legal counsel in Bermuda that the United States and
Bermuda currently do not have a treaty providing for
53
<PAGE> 59

the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial
matters. A final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any federal or
state court in the United States based on civil liability, whether or not based
solely on United States federal securities laws, would therefore not be
automatically enforceable in Bermuda.

Nevertheless, a final and conclusive judgment obtained in a state court or
federal court of the United States based upon a contractual obligation under
which a sum of money is payable could be enforced by an action in the Supreme
Court of Bermuda, without reexamination of the merits, under the common law
doctrine of obligation. A final opinion as to the availability of this remedy
could only be given when the facts surrounding the judgment were known but,
generally, based on advise from its legal counsel in Bermuda, Harbor Global
would expect an application to be successful if the judgment:

- was final and conclusive;

- was not obtained by fraud;

- was not, and its enforcement would not be, contrary to the public policy
of Bermuda;

- was not obtained in circumstances where the proceedings were contrary to
the rules of natural justice;

- complied with procedures under Bermuda law for its enforcement; and

- no new evidence is submitted to the Bermuda courts.

A Bermuda court may impose civil liability on Harbor Global or its
directors or officers in a suit brought in the Supreme Court of Bermuda against
Harbor Global or those persons with respect to a violation of United States
securities if the facts surrounding the violation would constitute or give rise
to a cause of action under Bermuda law.

Bermuda Taxation. Under current Bermuda law, there is no Bermuda income
tax, withholding tax, capital gains tax or capital transfer tax levied on Harbor
Global or its shareholders. The United States and Bermuda do not currently have
a reciprocal treaty regarding withholding taxes that is applicable to Harbor
Global.

Harbor Global, Harbor Global II and HGC have each received a written
assurance from the Bermuda Minister of Finance under the Exempted Undertakings
Tax Protection Act, 1966, as amended, that, in the event any legislation
imposing tax computed on profits or income, or on any capital asset, gain or
appreciation, or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax is
enacted in Bermuda, the tax will not be applicable to Harbor Global or any of
its operations, or to the shares, debentures or other obligations of Harbor
Global until 2016, except insofar as the tax is applied to Bermuda residents
holding shares, debentures or other obligations of Harbor Global or to any
Bermuda land leased by Harbor Global. HGCL will apply for, and is expected to
receive, a similar written assurance.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Harbor
Global Company Ltd. (a Bermuda limited duration company) as of December 31, 1999
and 1998 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net
parent company investment (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Harbor
Global Company Ltd. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States.

As explained in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective
January 1, 1999, the Company changed its method of accounting for start-up
costs.

HARBOR GLOBAL COMPANY LTD.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999

(1) BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BACKGROUND

On May 14, 2000, The Pioneer Group, Inc. (Pioneer) entered into a merger
agreement with UniCredito Italiano S.p.A., an Italian Corporation (UniCredito)
under which a wholly owned subsidiary of UniCredito will merge with and into
Pioneer, with Pioneer surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of
UniCredito. As a condition to closing the merger, Pioneer has agreed to transfer
some of its assets to Harbor Global Company Ltd. (the Separation), a newly
formed wholly owned Bermuda limited duration company (the Company), and, before
closing the merger, to distribute all the outstanding common shares of the
Company to stockholders of Pioneer (the Distribution).

At the time of the Distribution, the Company's assets will primarily
consist of: real estate management and investment management operations in
Russia; Polish and Eastern European venture capital investment and management
operations; Polish real estate management operations; timber harvesting and
sales in Russia; gold exploration operations in Russia; approximately $30
million in cash, of which $5 million is restricted to satisfy liabilities
associated with Pioneer's former gold mining operations; approximately $3.6
million of liabilities related to certain compensation liabilities payable to
current employees of Pioneer who will become employees of Harbor Global or
Calypso Management; and a non-interest-bearing promissory note with a face value
of $13.8 million, payable to Pioneer Goldfields II, a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company.

The Russian real estate and investment management operations consist of an
81% owned Russian investment management company (JSC Pioneer First), an 81%
owned Russian stockholder services company (JSC Pioneer Services), and on
approximately 52% interest held in the Pioneer First Investment Fund, a Russian
joint stock company managed by JSC Pioneer First. Pioneer First Investment Fund
invests directly in real estate and securities of Russian companies. A
significant portion of the assets of Pioneer First Investment Fund consists of
its ownership of the Meridian Commercial Tower, an 18-story, 22,600 square-meter
office building in Moscow, Russia. Under a management agreement between JSC
Pioneer First and Pioneer First Investment Fund, JSC Pioneer First has agreed to
provide management services to Pioneer First Investment Fund for an annual fee
of five percent of gross assets less any value-added taxes or similar taxes.
Through December 31, 1999, JSC Pioneer Services provided shareholder services to
Pioneer First Investment Fund and two Russian open-end unit investment funds
managed by JSC Pioneer First.

The Polish and Eastern European venture capital investment and management
operations consist primarily of the Pioneer Poland Fund. At December 31, 1999,
the Pioneer Poland Fund had approximately $60 million in commitments from U.S.
and European investors, of which approximately $40 million had been invested in
privately held Polish companies.

The Polish real estate management operations are conducted by PREA, LLC
(formerly, Pioneer Real Estate Advisors, Inc.) (PREA). PREA provides real estate
investment opportunities in Poland to institutional investors through the Polish
Real Estate Fund. PREA also provides management services for the Meridian
Commercial Tower.

The Russian timber harvesting and sales operations consist of Closed
Joint-Stock Company "Forest-Starma's" operations. Forest-Starma, which is
located on the Siziman Bay in the Vanino district of the Khabarovsk Territory of
the Russian Far East, owns and operates a modern logging camp, including a
harbor facility, from which it exports timber to markets in the Pacific Rim,
primarily Japan and South Korea. Two other entities in this segment, JSC
Udinskoye and JSC Amgun-Forest, are both in the development stage. All of these
entities have signed long-term leases relating to timber harvesting in the
Russian Far East.

HARBOR GLOBAL COMPANY LTD.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued)
December 31, 1999

The Russian gold exploration operations consist of Tas-Yurjah's operations.
Tas-Yurjah conducts the exploration of potential gold mining properties over
concession areas in the Ayano-Maysky district of the Khabarovsk Territory.
Tas-Yurjah is included in the Company's "Other" segment (see Note 14).

Pioneer is in the final stages of closing its Russian brokerage operations
and, as such, has reported the results of those operations as discontinued
operations. Additionally, Pioneer sold its Russian banking operations in 1999
and the historical results are reflected as a discontinued operation. These
companies will not be included as part of the legal separation due to a prior
liquidation or sale. However, as they were subsidiaries of Pioneer First Russia,
the 81% owned subsidiary of the Company, the results of these operations have
been included in these consolidated financial statements.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations,
financial position, changes in net parent company investment (deficit), and cash
flows of the businesses that will be transferred to the Company from Pioneer in
the Separation (the Company Businesses) as if the Company were a separate entity
for all periods presented. The consolidated financial statements have been
prepared using the historical basis in the assets and liabilities and historical
results of operations related to the Company Businesses. Changes in net parent
company investment (deficit) represent the net losses of the Company plus net
cash transfers to or from Pioneer and noncash transfers to or from Pioneer.
Additionally, the consolidated financial statements include allocations of
certain Pioneer expenses relating to the Company Businesses that will be
transferred to the Company from Pioneer. All material intercompany transactions
and balances between the Company Businesses have been eliminated.

Certain costs historically have been incurred on the Company's behalf by
Pioneer. These costs relate to shared activities, such as executive, legal,
finance, human resources, and information technology support. The shared
activities costs are allocated to all Pioneer business units and the Company
based upon estimated time spent and the actual compensation costs of the
departments performing shared activities. Additionally, certain other costs that
are directly attributable to the operations of the Company, such as salary and
benefits costs of Pioneer employees who have worked exclusively for the Company,
and other direct costs, including travel, entertainment, gold exploration costs
and political risk insurance, are allocated to the Company. The costs of the
shared services charged to the Company are not necessarily indicative of the
costs that would have been incurred if the Company had performed these functions
as a stand-alone entity. Subsequent to the Distribution, the Company will
perform these shared functions using its own resources or purchased services and
will be responsible for the costs and expenses associated with the management of
an independent public corporation. Additionally, income taxes are calculated
using the separate-tax-return method.

The Company is expected to enter into an administration and liquidation
agreement with Calypso Management LLC (the Manager) under which the Manager will
manage the liquidation of the Company and operate the Company's assets pending
liquidation in exchange for a fee (see Note 10).

The consolidated financial information included herein may not necessarily
reflect the consolidated results of operations, financial position, changes in
net parent company investment (deficit), and cash flows of the Company in the
future or what they would have been had it been a separate, stand-alone entity
during the periods presented.

RUSSIAN ENVIRONMENT

In recent years, Russia has undergone substantial political, economic, and
social change. As an emerging market, Russia does not possess a well developed
business, legal, and regulatory infrastructure

F-8
<PAGE> 69
HARBOR GLOBAL COMPANY LTD.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued)
December 31, 1999

that would generally exist in a more mature free-market economy. As a result,
operations carried out in Russia involve significant risks that are not
typically associated with those in developed markets. Such risks have been
evidenced by the government's inability to meet its obligations under its
short-term ruble denominated treasury bills (GKOs) and certain other ruble and
foreign currency denominated securities. The government also announced a
widening of the ruble-trading corridor, which was soon abandoned, and a
moratorium on certain foreign currency payments.

The economic conditions in Russia, together with actions of the Russian
government, led to a severe devaluation of the ruble, a sharp increase in the
rate of inflation, the near collapse of the banking system, significant defaults
on foreign currency obligations, a dramatic decline in the prices of Russian
debt and equity securities, and an inability to raise funds in the international
capital markets during 1998 and 1999. Although recent performance has improved,
the Russian economy since August 1998 generally has been characterized by rising
unemployment and underemployment, high government debt relative to gross
domestic product, high levels of trade credit, high levels of corporate
insolvency, highly volatile foreign currency exchange and interest rates, and an
unstable stock market.

ASIAN CRISIS

The Company has been and for the foreseeable future will continue to be
affected by the unstable economies in the Asian-Pacific region. The Company's
timber sales are primarily made to this region. During 1998, timber sales prices
were significantly depressed and, although prices increased in the last quarter
of 1998 and in 1999, there is uncertainty as to whether this trend will
continue. This will be dependent upon the recovery in the economies of countries
in this region.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company's
wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and certain partnerships that it
controls. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The
Company has consolidated the Pioneer Poland U.S., L.P. and Pioneer Poland UK,
L.P. in which the Company's ownership interests are 7.2% and 9.2%, respectively.
Control is defined by several factors, including, but not limited to, the fact
that the Company is the general partner of both Pioneer Poland U.S., L.P. and
Pioneer Poland UK, L.P., the general partner has absolute and unilateral
authority to make investment decisions, the limited partners may not remove the
general partner, and the general partner has absolute and unilateral authority
to declare, or not to declare, distributions of partnership income to the
partners. Investments in which the Company exercises significant influence but
which it does not control (generally a 20% to 50% ownership interest) are
accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Investments in which the
Company has less than a 20% ownership interest are generally accounted for under
the cost method of accounting.

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. The most
significant estimates with regard to these consolidated financial statements
relate to the valuation of investments of the Pioneer First Investment Fund and
venture capital investments and the estimated future cash flows of the Company's
timber operations, as discussed herein.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued)
December 31, 1999

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit in banks.
The Company had approximately $880,000 and $1,513,000 of restricted cash as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The cash is restricted due to certain
provisions of the loan agreement between Forest Starma and the Overseas Private
Investment Corporation (OPIC) (see Note 4). Pioneer, as required under the
agreement with UniCredito, intends to repay the OPIC debt prior to the
Distribution.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable
value.

DEFERRED TIMBER DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Deferred timber development costs consist of construction and engineering
expenditures and infrastructure costs incurred in developing the site and the
roads, as well as capitalized interest. These costs are amortized on a
units-of-production basis, which anticipates recovery principally over 10 years.
Certain other deferred timber development costs, including legal,
organizational, and other preoperating costs, were expensed in connection with
the adoption of an American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement
of Position (SOP) 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities,effective
January 1, 1999.

GOODWILL

Pioneer acquired its Russian real estate management and investment
management operations in 1995 for approximately $20,000,000. At inception, the
excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the assets
approximated $2,858,000. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, goodwill totaled
approximately $1,524,000 and $1,810,000, respectively, and is being amortized
over 10 years. Amortization expense was approximately $286,000 for both 1999 and
1998. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the accumulated amortization of goodwill
was approximately $1,334,000 and $1,048,000, respectively.

TIMBER EQUIPMENT

Timber equipment and facilities consist of a jetty, logging machinery, and
building and housing units. These costs are principally depreciated on a
units-of-production basis, which anticipates recovery over 5 to 20 years. Major
renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are
expensed when incurred. In the event of retirement or other disposition of a
fixed asset, the cost of the asset and the related accumulated depreciation or
amortization amount is removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss
is reflected in earnings.

BUILDING

The building represents the Meridian Commercial Tower in Russia. The
Meridian Commercial Tower is an office building that is wholly owned by the
Pioneer First Investment Fund. The building is being

F-10

depreciated on a straight-line basis over 40 years. The cost and the accumulated

The Company's venture capital investments are made through certain of its
consolidated partnerships. The venture capital investments are in companies that
are domiciled in Poland and are primarily engaged in bringing new technology to
market, as well as more mature companies in need of capital for expansion,
acquisitions, management buyouts, or recapitalizations. At the time the
investments are made, the investments are primarily in the form of unregistered
common and preferred stock, warrants, and promissory notes. No market quotes are
available for the venture capital investments.

Most of the Company's venture capital investments are valued at fair value,
as determined in good faith by management. In determining fair value,
investments are initially stated at cost until significant subsequent events
require a change in valuation. The Company considers the financial condition and
operating results of the investee, prices paid in subsequent private offerings
of the same or similar securities, the amount that the Company can reasonably
expect to realize upon the sale of these securities, and other factors deemed
relevant.

LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS

Long-term investments consist of Russian investments of the Pioneer First
Investment Fund. These securities are carried at cost with adjustments made for
any other-than-temporary impairment in value until such time as the breadth and
scope of the Russian securities markets develop to certain quantifiable levels.
The carrying value of these securities was approximately $6,712,000 and
$7,006,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Management estimated the
approximate fair value of these securities was $20,600,000 and $13,400,000 at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, (based upon available market
quotations and appraisals).

VALUATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company considers the available market quotations when estimating fair
value of financial instruments. As stated in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets, the carrying values of the Company's financial instruments
approximate fair value, except for the long-term investments of Pioneer First
Investment Fund, as discussed above.

LOSS PER SHARE

On the date of Distribution, shareholders of Pioneer will receive one share
of the Company for every five Pioneer shares they own. The loss per share has
been computed assuming that the shares expected to be issued on the distribution
date were outstanding for all periods presented.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and
denominators of the basic and diluted loss per share calculation:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1999 1998 1997
----------- ----------- ----------
(SHARE AND DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS,
EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Net Loss............................................ $(44,071) $(55,529) $(7,619)
Weighted Average Shares............................. 5,398 5,398 5,398
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share.................... (8.16) (10.29) (1.41)
</TABLE>

The Company had no stock options or other common stock equivalents
outstanding during the periods presented.

COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the
reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive Loss, as
defined, includes all changes in equity during a period from nonowner sources.
The comprehensive loss is equal to the Company's net loss in all periods.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

In accordance with SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, the
functional currency of the Company's timber operation is the U.S. dollar, as the
revenues, costs of capital equipment, and financing costs are principally
denominated in U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Company's financial
services operations is generally the currency of the country in which those
operations are conducted. However, some of those operations are conducted in
countries having highly inflationary economies and, as a result, the functional
currency is currently the U.S. dollar. For those entities, the gains and losses
that result from remeasuring into the U.S. dollar for reporting purposes are
included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The net
foreign currency losses were approximately $135,000 in 1999, $1,705,000 in 1998,
and $515,000 in 1997.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not
be recoverable. In accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for the Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, the
Company uses an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows of the related
asset or asset grouping in measuring whether the assets are impaired. If any
impairment is identified, an impairment charge is recorded to write down the
assets by the excess of the carrying value over fair value. The Company
periodically reviews its long-lived assets and assesses the future useful life
of these assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
current useful life has diminished.

CONCENTRATION OF RISK

The Company's operations are concentrated in Russia and Eastern Europe.
Additionally, the Company's timber project sells its timber primarily in the
Asian markets. The Company performs ongoing
F-12

evaluations of its subsidiaries and investments and obtains political risk
insurance, which mitigates its exposure in foreign countries (see Note 14).

CHANGE OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

On January 1, 1999, the Company adopted SOP 98-5. This standard requires
that entities expense costs of start-up activities as those costs are incurred.
The Company previously capitalized certain preoperating costs in connection with
its natural resource operations and certain organizational costs associated with
its financial services operations. In the first quarter of 1999, the Company
recorded the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and wrote off
unamortized capitalized start-up costs, net of tax, of approximately
$11,371,000. The amount of pro forma net income in 1998 giving effect to the
change in accounting principle did not differ materially from the amount
reported in 1998.

respectively. These amounts primarily consist of costs paid for services, costs
that arose when Pioneer made payments on behalf of the Company as well as
advances made in connection with the construction of the timber project. In
connection with the Distribution, the outstanding balance at the date of
distribution will be contributed to capital of the Company.

(7) INCOME TAXES

The results of operations of certain subsidiaries of the Company were
previously included in the U.S. federal consolidated tax returns of Pioneer. In
the Company's consolidated financial statements, the

F-14
<PAGE> 75

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued)
December 31, 1999

provision for income taxes includes a provision calculated on the
separate-return basis in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. The separate return method allocates current and
deferred taxes to members of a group by applying the provisions of SFAS No. 109
to each member as if it were a separate tax payer.

The following is a summary of the components of loss from continuing
operations before provision for income taxes and minority interest for financial
reporting purposes:

The Company is a Bermuda limited duration company and will not be subject
to taxation in Bermuda. The Company currently has subsidiaries located in the
United States. Prior to the Separation, the results of these subsidiaries have
been included in the U.S. federal consolidated tax returns of Pioneer. Under the
separate-return method, the losses incurred in the United States have not been
benefited. However, Pioneer has made capital contributions to the Company in
exchange for the tax benefits that Pioneer realized. In connection with the
Separation, the U.S. subsidiaries will be recharacterized as partnerships for
U.S. tax purposes. The income tax provisions and the deferred taxes included in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to the Company's
corporate subsidiaries that are located primarily in Russia and Poland.

The components of the provision for foreign income taxes on continuing
operations consist of:

The net operating loss carryforward is primarily related to Forest-Starma.
There are a number of restrictions on the utilization of loss carryforwards in
Russia. The net operating loss carryforward approximated 876,000,000 Russian
Rubles at both December 31, 1999 and 1998.

Pioneer, the Company and Harbor Global II Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company, will enter into a tax separation agreement before consummation
of the Distribution. Under the tax separation agreement, the Company will agree
to indemnify Pioneer for any income tax obligations arising from the Separation
and Distribution.

(8) MINORITY INTEREST

The Company's minority interest liability includes the interests of the
other equity holders of the Company's consolidated entities. The liability for
each entity is recorded based upon the net book value of that entity at the
balance sheet date, except for those instances in which agreements could result
in the Company redeeming those interests at amounts greater than their share of
the net book value. In those instances, adjustments are made to the liability to
reflect the minority equity holders' economic interests under those agreements.
As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company's minority interest liability
consisted of the following:

(9) BENEFIT PLANS

Prior to the Distribution, the Company's employees participated in a
retirement benefit plan and a savings and investment plan (the Benefit Plans)
qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Pioneer makes
contributions to a trustee, on behalf of eligible employees to fund both Benefit
Plans. The contributions allocable to the Company's employees have been included
in the costs and expenses in

F-16
<PAGE> 77
HARBOR GLOBAL COMPANY LTD.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -- (Continued)

the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In 1999, 1998, and 1997,
these costs were approximately $164,000, $157,000 and $125,000 respectively.

(10) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company is expected to enter into an administration and liquidation
agreement with the Manager, under which the Manager will manage the liquidation
of the Company and operate the Company's assets as going concern businesses
until they are liquidated. The principal executive officers of the Company will
also serve as the principal executive officers of the Manager. These officers
are currently officers of Pioneer. Under the administration & liquidation
agreement, the Company has agreed to pay certain expenses of the Manager
incurred in connection with its provision of services and a percentage of the
net proceeds realized from the liquidation of its assets.

(11) COMMITMENTS

The Company has committed to contribute up to $5,700,000 for Class B shares
of the Pioneer Poland Real Estate Fund, of which approximately $300,000 has been
contributed as of December 31, 1999. The Company also provides management and
advisory services to this fund.

Pioneer First Russia (PFR), a subsidiary of the Company, is part of the
Russian real estate and investment management operations and is the parent of
JSC Pioneer First and JSC Pioneer Services. In 1996, PFR issued approximately
18% of its common stock in exchange for $4,000,000. At the same time, PFR
entered into a put and call agreement with respect to the common stock. The put
allows the holder to put the shares to PFR for the greater of a defined book
value or 12 times the holder's share of PFR's average earnings, as further
defined in the agreement. This put is effective from October of 2000 through
October of 2004. The liability recorded in connection with the put was
approximately $1,900,000 and $2,000,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, and is included in both the minority interest liability and the
net noncurrent assets of discontinued operations in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet.

(12) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Pioneer Securities and UKS Securities Ltd. previously traded in various
Russian securities on behalf of customers and, to a lesser extent, on their own
account. In 1999, the decision was made by management of the Company to close
the operations of these two companies after all transfers of customers'
positions were complete. No loss was realized in connection with the closure.

In the third quarter of 1998, the Company decided to liquidate its Russian
banking operations. The 1998 loss included a provision of approximately
$3,600,000 for costs and certain losses associated with liquidating the bank. In
December 1998, the Company sold its stock in the bank to an unrelated third
party.

Accordingly, the operating results for the Russian brokerage and banking
have been segregated from the results from continuing operations and reported
separately on the consolidated statements of operations for all periods
presented. The following is a summary of the results of discontinued operations
for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

(13) TIMBER OPERATIONS

In connection with the filing of its 1999 income tax return, Pioneer
realized approximately $15,300,000 of income tax benefits associated with the
timber operations. In connection with the realization of the income tax
benefits, Pioneer recorded an equal offsetting reduction in the carrying value
of its timber project. The reduction in the carrying value of the timber project
has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As
the Company utilizes the separate return method for providing income taxes (see
Note 7), the income tax benefits have not been reflected in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations.

(14) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On August 21, 2000, Pioneer completed the Separation, by entering into a
Contribution Agreement with the Company. The Contribution Agreement effects the
transfer of all of Pioneer's interests in the real estate management and
investment management operations in Russia, the Polish and Eastern European
venture capital investment and management operations, the Polish real estate
management operations, the timber harvesting and sales business in Russia and
the gold exploration operations in Russia. All of these transfers are effective
on the date of the contribution, with the exception of the contribution of the
gold exploration operations in Russia, which will be effective as of the date a
notation is made on the Russian shareholders' register. Management expects that
the contribution of the Russian gold exploration operations will be completed by
mid-September 2000. The carrying value of the gold exploration operations in
Russia is approximately $950,000, at December 31, 1999, and is included in Other
Long-term Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

(15) FINANCIAL INFORMATION BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

The Company presents its segment information for continuing operations
using the management approach. The management approach is based on the way that
management organizes the segments within a Company for making operating
decisions and assessing performance. The Company's operating segments are
organized around services and products provided, as well as geographic regions.

UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of and for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2000

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to generally
accepted accounting principles. The Company has not changed any of its principal
accounting policies from those stated in the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 1999, included elsewhere in this information
statement.

During the first quarter of 1999, the Company adopted the provisions of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the AICPA) SOP 98-5,
Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities. SOP 98-5 requires that costs of
start-up activities be expensed as incurred. The Company had capitalized certain
pre-operating costs in connection with capitalized organizational costs
associated with its financial services operations and its natural resource
operations. Adoption of SOP 98-5 resulted in write-offs of $11.3 million, which
is reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as a change
in accounting principle.

(2) FINANCIAL INFORMATION BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

In accordance with SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information, the Company presents segment information
using the management approach. The management approach is based on the way that
management organizes the segments within a Company for making operating
decisions and assessing performance. The Company's operating segments are
organized around services and products provided, as well as geographic regions.

The following details selected financial information by business segment
(dollars in thousands):
