DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
     Concern over trauma in Far East financial markets reined in widespread
euphoria in the domestic equity market in the last few days of Harbor Fund's
fiscal year which ended on October 31.
 
     Still, it was another year of stellar returns in both the U.S. equity and
bond markets.
 
     During the year, the nation's current economic expansion reached its
seventh anniversary, making it the third longest in U.S. history. Because of the
virtually unparalleled mix of strong growth, low inflation, attractive interest
rates and fiscal stability, the dollar grew stronger against most foreign
currencies throughout the period.
 
     Capital spending by U.S. industry blossomed in the second half of Harbor's
fiscal year. Consumer spending was strong in that same period and the
unemployment rate dropped to below 5 percent at the end of October, the lowest
in more than two decades. Corporate profits on average continued strong although
future earnings growth came under intense scrutiny in the volatile last few days
of our fiscal year.
 
     But perhaps the most impressive part of that rosy economic picture was
subdued inflation, which fell to an annual rate of about 2 percent for our
fiscal year.
 
     The U.S. economy's predominance in the world today is unrivaled. Not
surprisingly, the strength of the dollar--particularly against currencies of
nations in the Far East--was an important factor in developments throughout Asia
which brought trauma to worldwide financial markets late in October. Fueled by
rising interest rates, disappointing earnings, and most importantly overvalued
currencies, the crisis started in Thailand and finally hit hard in Hong Kong.
 
     Worldwide markets tumbled, including the precipitous 554-point drop in the
Dow-Jones Industrial Average on October 27. While the domestic equity market
made a good recovery in the weeks that followed, tremors continued to be felt in
most financial markets, including currencies.
 
     Which brings us to an overview of the international economic picture. Over
time Southeast Asia--which remains part of the global community of emerging
markets--will overcome the crisis. While Asian sales are relatively small for
them, U.S. manufacturing firms seem to be committed to producing things there
for the long haul.
 
     Japan's economy continued to lag during our fiscal year in part because of
the burden of restrictive government budget policy, maintained in the attempt to
control the growing deficit. However, economic conditions throughout much of
Europe showed a marked improvement over those of the previous 12 months.
 
     Implementation of European Monetary Union (EMU) and a single currency
appears all but certain at this point. Good performance in European markets is
at least in part attributable to the changes that are beginning to take place as
a result of EMU.
 
     As to the domestic outlook, Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan has warned
in recent months that the economy has been on an "unsustainable" track and that
any expectation of further stock market gains at the pace of the past two years
is "unrealistic."
 
     He also has noted that unless demand slows and/or productivity accelerates,
the gap between demand for labor and the potential supply surely will set off a
round of wage inflation.
 
     No doubt the Far East financial market crisis is producing some braking
action on the domestic economy and equity market, a factor which led the Federal
Reserve open market committee not to raise interest rates at its meeting on
November 12. Over the past two years, the committee has changed rates only
twice, with 0.25% increases in January, 1996, and March, 1997.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER--CONTINUED
 
     Looking ahead, we cite a report from Bill Gross, of Pacific Investment
Management Company (PIMCO) and portfolio manager of the Harbor Bond Fund, that
PIMCO's annual secular forum earlier this year remained steadfastly bullish on
the outlook for interest rates and bond prices through the turn of the century.
 
     "Absent political icebergs," the PIMCO call is for yields approaching 5
percent at the peak of any cyclical downturn and 7 percent during any period of
strong growth and Federal Reserve tightening.
 
     One favorable economic development during the year was enactment of the
Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, an important step in the right direction toward the
goals of reducing the federal deficit and improving the low rate of personal
savings in the U.S.
 
     In addition to liberalizing and broadening the provisions for individual
retirement accounts, the new law reduces the long term capital gains tax rate,
which will benefit investors who buy and hold securities.
 
     We believe the outlook for equities remains positive, with inflation
subdued, particularly in Europe and the U.S. As always, we note that ups and
downs in financial markets are inevitable and it is important to choose an asset
allocation mix of stock and fixed income investments with the level of risk
appropriate for individual goals and to stay with it.
 
     We took note with pride in our fiscal year 1997 of two significant
milestones for Harbor Fund. One was the 10th anniversary of the founding of our
first fund, Harbor Growth Fund, and the other was the achievement of total
assets of $10 billion, just two years after reaching $5 billion.
 
     On balance, the Harbor funds performed very well in our 1997 fiscal year.
Particularly noteworthy was the performance of Harbor Growth Fund following the
start on May 2 of Emerging Growth Advisors, Inc., of Baltimore, as subadvisor.
Peter Welles, president of Emerging Growth Advisors, has effectively realigned
the portfolio to reduce average capitalization of holdings. Focus is on
companies with capitalization, generally $500 million or less at time of initial
investment, and above average growth rates.
 
     We invite your careful review of the performance of the Harbor funds on the
pages which follow this letter. Because expenses are a very important element in
the performance your investments, we also invite your attention to the expense
ratios of the Harbor funds on page one of this report.
 
     Thank you again for investing with us and as always we welcome any
inquiries.
 
                                            Sincerely,

    Despite strong performance in the second half of the fiscal year, Harbor
    Growth Fund underperformed the S&P 500 index for the full year. Following a
    change in the subadvisor on May 2, the Fund substantially outperformed the
    S&P 500 index in the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, returning
    26.0% for the six months, compared with a 15.3% gain in the index. In the
    fiscal second half, new positions in technology, including software and
    communications, and timely elimination of holdings in emerging markets were
    strong positives in performance vs. the index. Substantial progress was made
    by the new portfolio manager in realignment of the portfolio to focus on
    companies with smaller market capitalization.

    European markets favored restructuring situations this year over the type of
    growth stock this fund generally holds. Currency turmoil in the Far
    East/Pacific also detracted from the Fund's results. Still, the Fund
    returned 8.13% for the 12 months, short of the exceptional annual gains in
    each of the three full years since the Fund was founded, but well above the
    gain in the EAFE index. Holdings in Hong Kong and Thailand, which accounted
    for slightly less than 25% of the portfolio at the start of the fiscal year,
    had negative performance. Profits were taken and the Thai positions were
    eliminated in the second quarter. The Hong Kong holdings were reduced
    throughout the year. Strong returns came from Portugal, Germany, and Spain,
    where exposure was added because of improved earning prospects, and from new
    investments in the banking and telephone industries in Italy.

    Posting exceptional gains in fiscal year 1997, Harbor Capital Appreciation
    Fund outperformed the S&P 500 index for the 6th time in the 7 full fiscal
    years since the current subadvisor was named to manage the portfolio.
    Annualized return of the Fund under the manager increased to 35.73% in the
    fiscal year, compared with the annualized gain of 32.23% in the S&P 500
    index in the same period. Major contributions to Fund performance came from
    technology, which was overweighted vs. the index, and financial services. To
    protect strong gains, toward the end of the period technology holdings were
    reduced. Holdings in financial services, including banks, savings & loans,
    insurance, and brokerage services, were increased.

    In a tumultuous year for international financial markets, Harbor
    International Fund II achieved excellent returns in the first full year
    since inception on June 1, 1996, widely outperforming the EAFE index. Major
    gains from holdings in Europe were moderated by underperformance late in the
    fiscal year from positions in Asia and Brazil. The negative effect of
    currency translations on performance was somewhat offset by the portfolio's
    focus on dollar exporting companies in Europe.

    At each fiscal year-end since inception, returns of Harbor International
    Fund have eclipsed those of the EAFE index, posting gains more than 4 times
    those of the index in fiscal 1997. Major gains from holdings in Russia,
    Portugal, Spain, Brazil, and the United Kingdom dwarfed the negative results
    of small positions in Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia, which were sharply
    reduced by fiscal year-end. While effects of the strength of the dollar held
    down gains somewhat, returns from portfolio holdings throughout continental
    Europe and South America were particularly strong.

    Exceptionally strong returns in the third quarter highlighted Harbor Value
    Fund's performance in the fiscal year as the Fund slightly underperformed
    the S&P 500 index for the 12 months. Narrowness in the market--with investor
    focus on a relatively small number of large-capitalization growth
    stocks--began to ease somewhat just before midyear and the Fund outperformed
    the index in the second half of the fiscal year. Fund holdings in the
    technology, financial, and consumer durable segments of the market had
    particularly strong returns for the year and were the principal sources of
    outperformance in the second half. Passive management of 25% of Fund
    assets--aimed at reducing volatility--added broad diversification.

</TABLE>

    Harbor Bond Fund posted a return of 8.96% in the fiscal year to edge out the
    Lehman Brothers Aggregate index. After an increase in the federal funds rate
    in March, the yield of the 30-year treasury bond fell steadily and the
    yield curve flattened. After the Federal Reserve boosted the federal funds
    rate by 0.25% in March, average duration of the Fund's portfolio was reduced
    throughout the balance of the year to protect the portfolio from the
    potential of further increases. Rates on the 30-year treasury bond declined
    in the latter half of the fiscal year, which added to results, even with the
    shorter average duration. Throughout the period, good contributions to
    performance came from sector weightings relative to the index, particularly
    overweighting in mortgages and underweighting in investment grade
    corporates. Significant returns also came from small holdings of lower-grade
    corporates, hedged foreign bonds, and dollar denominated Latin American
    bonds.

    Performance of the Harbor Short Duration Fund fell slightly below that on
    one-year treasury bills but exceeded returns of 90-day treasury bills in the
    fiscal year as yield spreads between treasuries and other obligations
    widened late in the period. However, average annual returns of the Fund for
    the past 5 years remain well above both the one-year and 90-day bills. As
    yield spreads between returns from treasuries and asset- and mortgage-backed
    securities narrowed during the year, holdings of treasuries in the portfolio
    were increased to about 65% with the balance in well diversified bonds among
    others. And as the yield curve flattened, average duration of holdings was
    reduced after mid-year from about 18 to 12 months. Both moves added to
    returns.

    Returns of Harbor Money Market Fund slightly trailed those of 90-day
    treasury bills but significantly outperformed the Donaghue's average for all
    taxable money market funds for the fiscal year. Interest rates were
    relatively stable throughout the period and high-quality commercial paper
    and bank obligations continued to make up an average of 80% of the
    portfolio. In the fiscal first half, average maturity was limited to 2 1/2
    months or less. Later, as the yield curve flattened, average maturity was
    extended to as high as 85 days, which aided performance slightly. Money
    market shares are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government.
    While the Money Market Fund seeks to maintain a stable price, 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, 1997, 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, 1997 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.

HARBOR FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--OCTOBER 31, 1997
($ 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, 1997, the Trust
consisted of the following funds: Harbor Growth Fund, Harbor International
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 Stock 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 and the Fund's Rule 2a-7 procedures.
 
FUTURES 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 liquid 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
 
                                       45
<PAGE>   47
 
HARBOR FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED

NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED
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 or expired, 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.
 
     Consistent with its investment policies, 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. Future 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.
The maximum potential loss on a long futures contract is the US dollar value of
the notional amount at the time the contract is opened. The potential loss on a
short futures contract is unlimited. See Note 3 for open futures contracts held
as of October 31, 1997.
 
OPTIONS
 
     Consistent with its investment policies, 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 asset and 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

HARBOR FUND

NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED
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. See Note 3 for all
outstanding written options as of October 31, 1997.
 
SWAP AGREEMENTS
 
     To the extent permitted under their respective investment policies, Harbor
Bond Fund and Harbor Short Duration Fund may invest in swap agreements which
involve the exchange of cash payments based on the specified terms and
conditions of such agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return
generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. 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. The Fund may also enter into interest rate swap agreements
which involve the exchange by the Fund with another party of their respective
commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate
payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal.
Interest rate swaps are marked to market daily. Unrealized gains or losses are
reported as an asset or a liability in the statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The cash paid or received on a swap is recognized as a realized loss or gain
when such a payment is paid or received.
 
     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 unfavorable changes in market conditions or interest rates.
 
     The fee from swap agreements of $68 for Harbor Short Duration 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. Each
Fund holds, and maintains until the settlement date, cash or liquid securities
in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. 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
 
                                       47

HARBOR FUND

NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED

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 Funds 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 each 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
 
     Consistent with its investment policies, each Fund (excluding the Money
Market Fund) may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate
transactions in foreign securities or as a hedge against either specific
transactions or portfolio positions. 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

HARBOR FUND

NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED

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
 
     Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and
broker dealers whereby the Fund acquires a security for cash and obtains a
simultaneous commitment from the seller to repurchase the security at an agreed
upon price and date. 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 represent cash on hand
in its custodian and sub-custodian bank accounts and does not include any
short-term investments at October 31, 1997.
 
INVESTMENT INCOME
 
     Dividends declared are accrued on the ex-dividend date. For Harbor
International Growth Fund, Harbor International Fund II and Harbor International
Fund, certain dividends are recorded after the ex-dividend date, but as soon as
the Fund is notified of such dividends. Interest income is accrued daily as
earned. Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities purchased are
amortized over the life of the respective securities using the straight-line
method. Discounts and premiums on high-yield securities are amortized using the
effective yield method for the Harbor Bond Fund and Harbor Short Duration Fund.
 
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 expenses to each Fund can be otherwise fairly made.

DEFERRED ORGANIZATION COSTS
 
     Certain costs incurred by Harbor International Growth Fund and Harbor
International Fund II in connection with their organization and their
registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with various states
aggregated approximately $33 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. During 1997, the Harbor Growth Fund reclassified $2,549 of
non-taxable security gains realized when various portfolio securities were
distributed to a redeeming shareholder as an increase to paid-in-capital in the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

* For the year ended October 31, 1997, Harbor Growth Fund distributed portfolio
securities to a redeeming shareholder in the amount of $13,593.
 
     Harbor Money Market's purchases and sales (including maturities) of
investment securities (all short term obligations) aggregated $1,305,571 and
$1,295,440, 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 or liquid securities
with its custodian sufficient to cover its short position.
 
     Harbor Bond Fund enters into forward sale commitment to sell a specified
security at a specified price on a specified future date. The forward sales that
create short positions are accounted for as short sells as described above.

SECURITY LENDING
 
     Certain Funds may lend portfolio securities. The loans are collateralized
at all times with cash or liquid securities with a market value at least equal
to the market value of the securities on loan. As with other extensions of
credit, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery or even loss of rights
in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially.
Securities lending fees are negotiated by the Funds and are based on the number
and duration of lending transactions. At October 31, 1997, no securities were on
loan.

NOTE 5--BORROWINGS
 
     Harbor Short Duration Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements
with third party broker-dealers. The Fund may use reverse repurchase agreements
to borrow short term funds. Interest on the value of reverse repurchase
agreements issued and outstanding is based upon competitive market rates at the
time of issuance. At the time the Fund enters into a reverse repurchase
agreement, it establishes and maintains a segregated account with the lender
containing liquid securities having a value not less that the repurchase price,
including accrued interest, of the reverse repurchase agreement. Reverse
repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities
sold by a Fund may decline below the repurchase price of the securities and, if
the proceeds from the reverse repurchase agreement are invested in securities,
that the market value of securities bought may decline below the repurchase
price of securities sold. Activity in reverse repurchase agreements by the
Harbor Short Duration Fund for the year ended October 31, 1997 is as follows:
