DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
 
     While the US economy purred along in overdrive throughout 1996, some
volatility returned to the equity and bond markets, which were soaring at the
close of Harbor's fiscal year.
 
     Investors trying to guess market direction focused intently on every new
economic indicator as it was announced. Meanwhile the indicators gave off lots
of "feints and jukes," providing a fairly good imitation of Michael Jordan
rushing upcourt with those other kind of Bulls.
 
     In February, employment figures showed an unanticipated gain. The bond
market began a retreat and rates trended up on news from various indicators
through May, when a sporadic bond recovery began. Then, reacting to perceived
signs of unsustainable profit growth, the equity market underwent a "correction"
in late June and July.
 
     It turned out to be only a fair sized blip when the market began to advance
again in August and was still moving higher late in November.
 
     For the Harbor fiscal year, equities posted an impressive double digit
advance for the second consecutive year. The domestic bond market recovered
enough to record what could be viewed as a respectable gain.
 
     While the domestic economy--as noted--seemed to be giving off a lot of
mixed signals throughout the year, in retrospect it was 12 more months of stable
economic growth with inflation well under control and no sight of a boom or bust
on the horizon.
 
     The Federal Reserve Board's open market committee saw it that way, even
after the November election. After making a fine-tuning increase in the federal
funds rate of 25 basis points in January, the committee voted not to ease or
tighten at any meeting since, with the last pass coming on November 13.
 
     For international investors, performance of equity markets was relatively
uneventful. About the best summation is that economic conditions around the
world over the 12 months continued to be "investor friendly." Overall
performance--led by emerging markets--was very good, but net returns to US
investors generally were penalized somewhat by the strength of the dollar.
 
     It's estimated that global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will be up about
2.8 percent for all of 1996, compared with a 2.3 percent gain in 1995. Worldwide
inflation is said to be decelerating from about 7.9 percent last year to an
estimated 5.1 percent this year.
 
     One of the few surprises occurred in Japan, where GDP grew at a rate of
more than 12 percent in the first quarter of the year. Alas, the rate fell as
the year unfolded and is expected to be up less than 4 percent for the year. At
the end of September, several equity markets outside the US also were at
all-time highs, including those of the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and
Denmark.
 
     In summary, the political and economic climate in the 12-month period of
our fiscal year was in many ways quietly remarkable, given these developments:
 
       - Continuation of one of the nation's longest ever economic
         expansions, consistently marked by steady moderate growth and
         benign inflation.
 
       - High levels of corporate profitability.
 
       - Observance in October of the sixth anniversary of the bull
         market.
 
       - Re-emergence of US industry as the world's most competitive
         production machine.
 
       - Generally the best worldwide political climate in decades.
 
     As to the outlook, we cite observations of three of our funds' portfolio
managers:
 
     "Contained wage growth, restrained consumer spending and on-going
discipline of capital market vigilantes should combine to produce a climate in
which inflation will remain centered at a rate of about

DEAR SHAREHOLDER--CONTINUED
 
2 percent annually for the balance of this decade. With that rate of inflation,
a range of 5 to 7 percent for long treasury bonds is the secular
forecast."--Bill Gross, Harbor Bond Fund, PIMCO.
 
     "Prospects for synchronized low rates of economic recovery worldwide are
good. Continued slow growth in the domestic economy and low inflation produces a
climate favoring selected growth stocks."--Spiros Segalas, Harbor Capital
Appreciation, Jennison Associates.
 
     "While the US equity market has outperformed the EAFE index (over the last
two years), conditions are such that looking ahead selected international equity
markets should do well over the next couple of years."--Hakan Castegren, Harbor
International, Northern Cross Investments.
 
     Once again, we repeat our credo that financial markets always will have ups
and downs, making it important to choose an asset allocation mix of stock and
fixed income investments with a level of risk appropriate for individual goals
and to stay with it.
 
     On November 19, 1996, we observed the latest in a number of significant
Harbor Fund milestones--the 10th anniversary of the founding of our first fund,
Harbor Growth. Early in the fiscal year we marked another significant event when
net assets exceeded $5 billion. Less than a full year later, on November 11,
1996, net assets topped $7 billion.
 
     Proud as we are of having reached those milestones, they simply serve to
remind us that our only purpose is to add value to your investments. We continue
to diligently work to maintain a team of skilled portfolio managers, focused in
their efforts, who are capable of attaining this objective.
 
     We believe our growth is evidence of the effectiveness of our unique
multiple subadvisor approach which allows us to provide access to first class
investment talent through our family of mutual funds.
 
     During the fiscal year, on balance the Harbor Funds continued to perform
well, and our newest addition--Harbor International Fund II--recorded a very
positive performance following its start-up on June 1.
 
     As always, we appreciate your continued confidence and your investment in
Harbor Fund.
 
                                            Sincerely,

    By substantially outperforming the EAFE index in fiscal 1996, the Harbor
    International Growth Fund has bettered the index each year since its
    founding. Amid slow economic growth with little to no inflation worldwide
    throughout the 12 months ended October 31, earnings per share growth for the
    holdings in the portfolio averaged about 18 percent. Major contributions to
    performance came from holdings in Hong Kong, Sweden, Switzerland, and the
    UK. Also the Fund had no investments in Japan, which helped performance
    relative to the index. On October 31, the Fund held 32 equities in 13
    countries.

    Performance of the Harbor Growth Fund fell short of that of the S&P 500
    index for the fiscal year, mirroring the pronounced relative
    underperformance of small- and mid-capitalization stocks over the period. In
    the fiscal first half, performance was strong, but the trend was reversed in
    the third quarter when investors judged that strong earnings gains in the
    growth segment of the market could not be sustained. For the 12 months, the
    strongest contributions to Fund performance came from holdings in consumer
    durable goods, energy, and telecommunications, but these positive effects
    were offset by weak performance in consumer non-durables, technology, and
    the financial sector.

    Harbor Capital Appreciation Fund's 1996 fiscal year performance trailed that
    of the S&P 500 index, reflecting the lack of breadth in the market for the
    period. The Fund finished with its best quarter of the year, gaining 13.86
    percent in the 3 months ended October 31. Performance of holdings in the
    technology sector, while particularly volatile, recovered from a sharp
    decline in June and July and made the best overall contribution to results
    for the fourth quarter. During the fiscal year, some changes were made in
    issues comprising various segments of the portfolio, but sector weightings
    remained relatively unchanged. Performance for the entire year was hurt by
    consumer durables and technology issues, where portfolio weighting was
    almost triple that of the S&P 500 at year-end.

    In the five-month period between inception of Harbor International Fund II
    on June 1 this year and the end of the fiscal year, the Fund substantially
    outperformed the EAFE index. Good contributions to initial performance came
    from oil and gas stocks and from holdings in France, Brazil, Denmark,
    Finland, and Norway. Holdings in Japan were significantly underweighted
    relative to the EAFE index, which helped performance compared to that of the
    index. At the end of October, the portfolio included some 81 holdings in 20
    countries.

    For the ninth consecutive year since its inception, the Harbor International
    Fund outperformed the EAFE index. The Fund slightly underperformed the EAFE
    index in the first half of the fiscal year, but substantially outperformed
    the index in the fiscal second half, when index returns declined. Strongest
    contributions to fiscal second half performance came from holdings in
    Russia, France, Brazil, Spain, Malaysia, Sweden, and the Netherlands.
    Performance relative to the index benefited from lack of significant
    exposure in Japan.

    In fiscal year 1996, Harbor Value Fund posted a strong gain for the second
    consecutive year, slightly underperforming the strong advance in the S&P 500
    index. Active portfolio management helped the Fund weather the equity
    market's midyear downturn and recover from relatively modest declines in
    June and July with good results in the fiscal fourth quarter. Paper industry
    holdings in the portfolio were triple weighted relative to the S&P 500 and
    made a vital contribution to fourth quarter performance. Performance for the
    year also was aided by the fund's holdings in technology and transportation
    issues, but weak results in financial services, basic materials, and capital
    goods more than offset those gains. Broad diversification was added by
    quantitative techniques used to manage 25% of assets.

    In a tumultuous period for the domestic bond market, the Harbor Bond Fund
    outperformed the Lehman Brothers Aggregate index by a substantial margin.
    Throughout the fiscal year, average duration of the Fund's portfolio was
    maintained about one year above the LB AGG. That hurt performance as rates
    increased early in 1996, but added to strong gains in the fiscal fourth
    quarter. Diversified sector strategies contributed more significantly to
    performance. These included investments earlier in the year in currency
    hedged foreign bonds, mainly in Germany, Finland, and Canada. A modest
    allocation to non- investment grade credits and reduction of investment
    grade corporate debt also boosted returns.

    Buoyed by strong performance in the second half of the fiscal year, Harbor
    Short Duration Fund posted excellent results for the year, outperforming
    both 90-day and one-year treasury bills. In the fiscal second half, a sharp
    increase in holdings of asset and mortgage backed securities and a cutback
    in corporate bonds was an important factor in the strong performance. A
    reduction in the average duration of the portfolio and good performance from
    hedges in Swedish and Canadian notes also added to second half returns.

</TABLE>
 
    Performance of Harbor Money Market Fund fell just short of the 90-day
    treasury bill but exceeded that of the Donaghue's average for all taxable
    money funds for the fiscal year. With the 90-day treasury trading in an
    exceptionally narrow range--from a low of 4.9% to a high of 5.3%
    --throughout the 12-month period, opportunities for adding value through
    active management of the Fund were very limited. Average duration of the
    Fund ranged from 1 to 2.5 months and the mix of securities remained
    relatively unchanged, with commercial paper the largest holding. Money
    Market shares are neither insured nor guaranteed by the US Government. While
    the Money Market Fund seeks to maintain a stable price per share, there is
    no assurance the Fund will be able to do so.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
HARBOR FUND
 
     In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of
operations, of changes in net assets and of cash flows, and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
each of the nine Funds constituting the Harbor Fund, (hereafter referred to as
the "Trust") at October 31, 1996, and the results of each of their operations,
the changes in each of their net assets, the cash flows for the Harbor Short
Duration Fund, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of investments at
October 31, 1996 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the
application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers
were not received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

    registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At October 31,

    the principal amount. Income on TBA's is not earned until settlement date.

 #  At October 31, 1996, U.S. Treasury Bills held by the fund were pledged to
    cover margin requirements for open futures contracts. (See Note 2 to the
    Financial Statements). The securities pledged had aggregate market value of
    $986,474.
 
(1) TBA's are mortgage-backed securities traded under delayed delivery
    commitments, settling after October 31, 1996. Although the unit price for
    the trades has been established, the principal value has not been finalized.
    However, the amount of the commitments will not fluctuate more than 1% from
    the principal amount. Income on TBA's is not earned until settlement date.
 
(2) IOette Securities are a type of CMO (often called a "double REMIC") tranche
    with an extremely small principal amount and extremely high coupon rate of
    interest. The characteristics of an IOette are expected to resemble an IO
    security.
 
(3) Interest only (IO) securities represent the right to receive the periodic
    interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These are subject
    to the risk of accelerated principal paydowns. The principal amount
    represents the notional amount on which current interest is calculated.
 
(4) Principal only (PO) securities represent the right to receive periodic
    principal payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans.
 
 +  At October 31, 1996, U.S. Treasury Securities held by the fund were pledged,
    in whole or in part, as collateral for open reverse repurchase agreements.
    (See Note 5 to the Financial Statements.) The securities pledged had an
    aggregate market value of $56,493.
 
    The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements.

HARBOR FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--OCTOBER 31, 1996
($ in Thousands)

NOTE 1--ORGANIZATIONAL MATTERS
 
     Harbor Fund (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company, consisting of a
series of nine diversified investment portfolios (the "Funds"), each of which is
represented by a separate series of shares of beneficial interest and having an
unlimited number of shares authorized. As of October 31, 1996, the Trust
consisted of the following funds: Harbor International Growth Fund, Harbor
Growth Fund, Harbor Capital Appreciation Fund, Harbor International Fund II,
Harbor International Fund, Harbor Value Fund, Harbor Bond Fund, Harbor Short
Duration Fund and Harbor Money Market Fund.
 
NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles for investment companies.
 
SECURITY VALUATION
 
     Equity securities are valued at the last sale price on an exchange or the
National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ") system
or, in the case of unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were
no sales on the valuation day, the mean between the closing bid and asked price.
Securities listed or traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the last sale
price on that exchange on the valuation day, or if no sale occurs, at the
official bid price (both the last sale price and official bid price are
determined as of the close of the London Foreign Exchange).
 
     Except for Harbor Money Market Fund, debt securities, other than short-term
securities with a remaining maturity of less than sixty days, are valued at
prices furnished by a pricing service or as otherwise described below, selected
by the adviser which determines valuation for normal institutional-size trading
units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable
securities and various relationships between securities which are generally
recognized by institutional traders. Short-term securities with a remaining
maturity of less than sixty days are stated at the amortized cost which
approximates value. Open futures contracts are valued based on the last sale
price on the exchange on which such futures are principally traded.
 
     Securities for which there are no such prices or for which prices are
deemed by the adviser or subadviser not to be representative of market values,
are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures established by and under the supervision of the Board of
Trustees. The actual calculation of fair market value may be done by others
including the adviser and subadviser.
 
     Securities of the Harbor Money Market Fund are valued utilizing the
amortized cost method as set forth in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended.
 
FUTURE CONTRACTS
 
     A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a
security at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, a
Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. Government
securities or other high quality debt securities equal to the minimum "initial
margin" requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to the contract, the fund agrees
to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily
fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as
"variation

margin," and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the
contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the
difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the
value at the time it was closed.
 
     Each Fund (excluding the Money Market Fund) may use futures contracts to
manage its exposure to the stock and bond markets and to fluctuations in
currency values. Futures contracts tend to increase or decrease the Fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Losses
may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments, if there is
an illiquid secondary market for the contracts or if the counterparties do not
perform under the contracts' terms.
 
OPTIONS
 
     Each Fund (excluding the Money Market Fund) may use options contracts to
manage its exposure to the stock and bond markets and to fluctuations in
interest rates and currency values. Options contracts tend to increase or
decrease the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge other fund
investments.
 
     When a Fund purchases an option, the premium paid by the Fund is included
in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and
subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the option's current market value.
Purchased options are valued at the last sale price on the market on which it is
principally traded. If the purchased option expires, the Fund realizes a loss in
the amount of the premium. If the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction,
it realizes a gain or loss, depending on whether the proceeds from the sale are
greater or less than the cost of the option. If the Fund exercises a call
option, the cost of the securities acquired by exercising the call is increased
by the premium paid to buy the call. If the Fund exercises a put option, it
realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the
proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. The risk
associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid.
 
     Harbor Short Duration Fund enters into purchased options on interest rate
swaps ("swaptions"). A purchased swaption allows the Fund, as purchaser, and
obligates the writer upon exercise, to enter into an interest rate swap
agreement, in accordance with conditions outlined in the swaption agreement
between the Fund and the counterparty to the agreement. The accounting treatment
relating to purchased swaptions is substantially the same as the policies
described above, except that swaptions are valued by the counterparty to the
swaption agreement.
 
     The risk associated with entering into purchased swaptions is limited to
the value of the swaption. Additionally, swaption agreements involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit risk, market risk, and interest rate risk. Such
risks involve the possibility that there is not a liquid market for these
agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its
obligation to perform and that there may be adverse changes in market conditions
or interest rates.
 
     When a Fund writes an option, the premium received by the Fund is presented
in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an equivalent liability.
The amount of the liability is subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect the
current market value of the option written. Written options are valued at the
last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the last offering price on the
market on which it is principally traded. If an option expires on its stipulated
expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the
Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction
exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any
unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to
such option is extinguished. If a written call option is exercised, the Fund
realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the

underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium
originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the amount of the
premium originally received reduces the cost of the security which the Fund
purchases upon exercise of the option.
 
     The risk in writing a call is that the Fund relinquishes the opportunity to
profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option
is exercised. In writing a put option, the Fund assumes the risk of incurring a
loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is
exercised. In addition, there is a risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a
closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market, or if the
counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
 
SWAP AGREEMENTS
 
     Harbor Short Duration Fund enters into swap agreements which involve the
exchange of cash payments based on the specified terms and conditions of such
agreements. The cash paid or received on a swap is recognized as a realized loss
or gain when such payment is paid or received. The value of each swap is
determined by the counterparty to the swap agreement using a methodology which
discounts the expected future cash receipts or disbursements related to the
swap. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as an asset or a liability in the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
     Entering into swap agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of
credit risk, market risk, and interest rate risk in excess of the amount
recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the
possibility that there is not a liquid market for these agreements, that the
counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform and that
there may be adverse changes in market conditions or interest rates.
 
     The fee from swap agreements of .1375% of the notional amount is included
in interest income on the Statement of Operations.
 
TBA PURCHASE COMMITMENTS
 
     Harbor Bond Fund and Harbor Short Duration Fund enter into "TBA" (to be
announced) purchase commitments to purchase securities for a fixed unit price at
a future date beyond customary settlement time. Although the unit price has been
established, the principal value has not been finalized. However, the amount of
the commitment will not fluctuate more that 1.0% from the principal amount. TBA
purchase commitments may be considered securities in themselves, and involve a
risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the
settlement date, which risk is in addition to the risk of decline in the value
of the Fund's other assets. Risks may also arise upon entering into these
contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of
their contracts. Unsettled TBA purchase commitments are valued at the current
market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures
described under "Security Valuation" above.
 
     Although the Funds will generally enter into TBA purchase commitments with
the intention of acquiring securities for its portfolio, the Fund may dispose of
a commitment prior to settlement if the Fund's Subadviser deems it appropriate
to do so.

TBA SALE COMMITMENTS
 
     Harbor Bond Fund and Harbor Short Duration Fund enter into "TBA" sale
commitments to hedge portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities
owned under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are
not received until the contractual settlement date.
 
     Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the current market value of
the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under
"Security Valuation" above. The contract is "marked-to-market" daily and the
change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain and loss.
If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting
purchase commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss on the commitment without
regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security. If the Fund
delivers securities under the commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from
the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the
commitment was entered into.
 
FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS
 
     Each Fund (excluding the Money Market Fund) may enter into forward foreign
currency contracts in order to manage currency exposure. A forward currency
contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell currencies at a set
price on a future date. The U.S. dollar value of the contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a pricing service. The
contract is "marked-to-market" daily and the change in market value is recorded
as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a
realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value on the open and
close date. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency
or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. The maximum
potential loss from such contracts is the aggregate face value in U.S. dollars
at the time the contract was opened; however, management of the Fund believes
the likelihood of such loss is remote.
 
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS
 
     The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign
currency are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates at
period end. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars
at the current exchange rate on the respective dates of the transaction. Income
and withholding taxes are translated at the prevailing exchange rate when
accrued or incurred.
 
     Reported net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency
contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized
between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the
difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign currency
exchange rates on investments in securities are not isolated in the Statement of
Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of these securities.
Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss
on investments.
 
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 
     The Trust's custodian takes possession through the federal book-entry
system of securities collateralizing repurchase agreements. The value of the
underlying assets at the time of purchase is required to be at least equal to
the repurchase price to protect the Fund in the event of default by the seller.

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
 
     Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the
order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains or losses on security
transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost for both federal
income tax and financial reporting purposes.
 
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
 
     Information on financial transactions which have settled through the
receipt and disbursement of cash is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows for
Harbor Short Duration Fund. The cash amounts shown in the Statement of Cash
Flows is the amount reported as cash and foreign currency in Harbor Short
Duration Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represents cash on hand
in its custodian bank account and does not include any short-term investments at
October 31, 1996.
 
INVESTMENT INCOME
 
     Dividends declared are accrued on the ex-dividend date, except that, for
Harbor International Growth Fund, Harbor International Fund II and Harbor
International Fund, certain dividends are recorded as soon as the Fund is
notified of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily as earned.
Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of
the respective securities using the straight-line method.
 
DISTRIBUTION TO SHAREHOLDERS
 
     Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
EXPENSES
 
     Expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to any two or more Funds are
allocated in proportion to the net assets of each Fund, except where allocations
of direct expense to each Fund can be otherwise fairly made.
 
DEFERRED ORGANIZATION COSTS
 
     Certain costs incurred by Harbor International Growth Fund, Harbor
International Fund II and Harbor Short Duration Fund in connection with its
organization and its registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and with various states aggregated approximately $33, $21 and $21, respectively.
These costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year period
from the commencement of operations of the Fund.
 
FEDERAL TAXES
 
     Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal tax purposes. Each
Fund's policy is to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to its
shareholders all of its taxable income within the prescribed time. It is also
the intention of each Fund to distribute an amount sufficient to avoid
imposition of any excise tax under Section 4982 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Therefore, no provision has been made for federal taxes on income, capital gains
or unrealized appreciation of securities held or excise tax on income and
capital gains.

     Harbor Money Market's purchases and sales (including maturities) of
investment securities (all short term obligations) aggregated $1,783 and $1,784,
respectively.
 
     Harbor Short Duration Fund engages in short-selling which obligates the
Fund to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it at the market price at
the time of replacement. Until the security is replaced, the Fund is required to
pay to the lender any accrued interest and may be required to pay a premium. The
Fund would realize a gain if the security declines in price between the date of
the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security.
The Fund would incur a loss as a result of the short sale if the price of the
security increases between those dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed
security, it will maintain a segregated account of cash and/or U.S. Government
securities with its custodian sufficient to cover its short position.

     The Fund receives securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or
its agencies, cash or letters of credit as collateral against the loaned
securities in an amount at least equal to 100% of the current market value of
securities loaned; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other
party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be
subject to legal proceedings. At October 31, 1996 all collateral received was
cash and was subsequently invested in cash equivalents.
 
     Securities lending fees are negotiated by the Fund and are based on the
