     Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                          
         Nine Months Ended December 31, 1998
                     (Unaudited)



Note 1 -- Business.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Harbor Federal
Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and wholly-owned subsidiaries,
including Harbor Federal Savings Bank ("Harbor Federal"). 
Harbor Federal provides a full range of banking services to
individual and corporate customers through its subsidiaries and
branch offices in Maryland.  Harbor Federal is subject to 
competition from other financial institutions. Harbor Federal is
subject to the regulations of certain federal agencies and
undergoes periodic examinations by those agencies.

Note 2 -- Basis of Presentation.  The accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance
with instructions for Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not include
information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation
of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 
However, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring
adjustments) which in the opinion of management, are necessary
for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements
at and for the nine and three months ended December 31, 1998
have been recorded.

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"),
which establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general
purpose financial statements.  It requires all items that are
required to be recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial
statement that is displayed in equal prominence with other
financial statements.  It requires that an enterprise display an
amount representing total comprehensive income for each period. 
It does not require per share amounts of comprehensive
income to be disclosed.  The adoption of the provisions of SFAS
No. 130 did not affect the financial condition or results of
operations of the Company.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of
financial condition and revenues and expenses for the period.
Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. 
The results of operations for the nine and three months ended
December 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the entire year ending March 31, 1999.

Note 3 -- Principles of Consolidation.  The accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and Harbor Federal, and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Harbor Service Corporation and Bank Street
Mortgage Company.  All significant intercompany items have been
eliminated.

Note 4 -- Retained Income.  Harbor Federal is required to
maintain certain levels of regulatory capital.  At December 31,
1998, Harbor Federal was in compliance with all regulatory
capital requirements.

Note 5 -- Earnings per Common Share.  On August 10, 1998 the

July 31, 1998.  Information related to the calculation of net
income per share of common stock is summarized as follows for
the nine and three months ended December 31, 1998 and December
31, 1997, adjusted for the effect of the 10% stock dividend:

  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                   and Results of Operations



     The following discussion analyzes the financial condition
of the Company at December 31, 1998 and the results of
operations of the Company for the nine and three months ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

     Harbor Federal's total assets decreased by $3.6 million or
1.5% to $227.6 million at December 31, 1998 from $231.1 million
at March 31, 1998. 

     Loans receivable, net, increased by $7.2 million or 4.9% to
$155.1 million at December 31, 1998 from $147.9 million at March
31, 1998.  This increase was due in part to a greater demand
for residential loans during this period.  The increase was
funded by a reduction in investment securities of $6.4 million
or 12.3% to $45.4 million at December 31, 1998 from $51.8
million at March 31,1998 and a reduction in mortgage-backed
securities of $5.6 million or 26.4% to $15.6 million at December
31, 1998 from $21.2 million at March 31, 1998.  Cash and federal
funds sold increased by $1.4 million.

     Borrowed funds were reduced by $6.5 million or 25.6% to
$18.8 million at December 31, 1998 from $25.3 million at March
31, 1998.  This reduction was funded partially by an increase in
savings accounts of $4.3 million or 2.5% to $177.2 million at
December 31, 1998 from $172.9 million at March 31, 1998.  The
balance came from repayments on investments and mortgage-backed
securities as mentioned above.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

     The earnings of Harbor Federal depend primarily on its
level of net interest income, which is the difference between
interest earned on Harbor Federal's interest-earning assets,
consisting primarily of mortgage loans, mortgage-backed
securities, interest-bearing deposits at other institutions,
investment securities and other investments, and the interest
paid on interest-bearing liabilities consisting primarily of
savings accounts.  Net income for the nine and three months
ended December 31, 1998 increased $168,000  and $9,000
respectively.

     Interest Income.  Total interest income for the nine months
ended December 31, 1998 increased by $798,000 or 6.6% to $12.9
million from $12.1 million for the same period in 1997.  Total
interest income for the three months ended December 31, 1998
increased by $218,000 or 5.4% to $4.3 million from $4.1 million
for the same period in 1997.  The increases in interest income
resulted from a $13.8 million or 6.5% and $11.3 million or 5.3%
increase in average interest-earning assets for the nine and
three months ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the
same periods in 1997. The average yields on Harbor Federal's
average interest-earning assets was 7.55% for the nine and three
months ended December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

     Interest on loans for the nine months ended December 31,
1998 increased $216,000 or 2.5% as compared to the same period
in 1997.  Interest on loans for the three months ended December
31, 1998 increased $98,000 or 3.3% as compared to the same
period in 1997.  The increases were due primarily to increases
in average loans receivable of $3.7 million or 2.5% and
$5.2 million or 3.5% for the nine and three months ended
December 31, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same periods
in 1997.  The increase in average loans receivable was due
primarily to increased loan production over normal repayments.

     Interest on mortgage-backed securities for the nine and
three months ended December 31,1998 increased by $232,000 or
31.5% and $39,000 or 15.4% respectively, as compared to the
same periods in 1997.  The increases were the result of
increases in the average mortgage-backed securities of $4.4
million or 31.2% and $1.7 million or 11.4% for the nine and
three months ended December 31, 1998, respectively, as compared
to the same periods in 1997.  The increases in average
mortgage-backed securities were due primarily to the purchase of
a $9.9 million mortgage-backed security in December 1997.

                    HARBOR FEDERAL BANCORP, INC.
                         AND SUBSIDIARY


     Interest on investment securities for the nine and three
months ended December 31, 1998 increased by $342,000 or 14.3%
and $80,000 or 10.2%, respectively, as compared to the same
periods in 1997.  The increases were due primarily to increases
in the average investment securities of $4.7 million or 10.4%
and $4.2 million or 9.3% for the nine and three months ended
December 31, 1998, respectively, as compared to the
same periods in 1997.  The increases in average investment
securities were due to an increase in purchases of investment
securities in the latter half of fiscal year end March 31, 1998.

     Interest Expense.  Total interest expense for the nine and
three months ended December 31, 1998 increased by $534,000 or
7.4% and $91,000 or 3.6% to $7.8 million and $2.6 million from
$7.3 million and $2.5 million for the same periods in 1997.  The
increases were primarily attributable to increases in the
weighted average balance of deposits and borrowings for the nine
and three months ended December 31, 1998 of $12.1 million or
6.5% and $10.0 million or 5.3%, respectively, over the same
periods in 1997.  The weighted average cost of Harbor Federal's
deposits and borrowings increased to 5.21% for the nine months
ended December 31,1998 from 5.17%, for the same period in 1997. 
In addition, the weighted average cost of deposits and
borrowings decreased to 5.16% for the three months ended
December 31, 1998 from 5.24% for the same period in 1997.  This
was primarily due to rate reductions on various deposit lines
and borrowings.

     Net Interest Income.  Net interest income for the nine and
three months ended December 31, 1998 increased by $264,000 or
5.5% and $127,000 or 8.1% to $5.1 million and $1.7 million
from $4.8 million and $1.6 million for the same periods in 1997
due to the above-mentioned changes.

     Provision for Loan Losses.  The Company maintains an
allowance for loan losses based on management's review and
classification of the loan portfolio and analyses of borrowers'
ability to pay, past collection experience, risk characteristics
of individual loans or groups of similar loans and underlying
collateral, current and prospective economic conditions, status
of nonperforming loans and regulatory reviews conducted in the
regulatory examination process and relevant matters.  There were
provisions of $60,000 and $20,000 for loan losses during the
nine and three months ended December 31, 1998 as compared to
$80,000 and $40,000 during the same periods in 1997.  Based on
the results of management's review and analyses, it was
concluded that the level of the allowance for losses on loans
was adequate at December 31, 1998.

     Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income for the nine months
ended December 31, 1998 increased by $141,000 or 40.3% to
$490,000 from $350,000 for the same period in 1997.  The
increase was due primarily to an increase in fee income of
$215,000 from Bank Street Mortgage Company which commenced
operations in June 1997.  This was offset by a reduction of
$18,000 in ATM fees due to the closing of ATM machine in Ocean
City, Maryland in November of 1997.  This ATM machine has been
reinstalled in the Parkville branch in September 1998.

     Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense for the nine and
three months ended December 31, 1998 increased by $70,000 or
2.2% and $65,000 or 6.2% to $3.2 million and $1.1 million from
$3.1 million and $1.0 million for the same periods in 1997. 
These increases are primarily due to increases in compensation
for Bank Street Mortgage Company of $102,000 and $28,000 for the
nine and three months ended December 31, 1998 over the same
period in 1997.  Occupancy and equipment expense decreased by
$43,000 and $24,000 for the nine and three months ended
December 31, 1998 compared to the same periods in 1997.  These
reductions were due primarily to a reduction in rent expense for
the ATM location in Ocean City, Maryland that was closed in
November 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

     Harbor Federal is required to maintain minimum levels of
liquid assets as defined by OTS regulations.  This requirement,
which varies from time to time depending upon economic
conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of
deposits and short-term borrowings.  The required ratio
currently is 4.0%.  Harbor Federal's liquidity ratio averaged
26.3% and 23.4% for the nine and three months ended December 31,
1998.  Harbor Federal adjusts its liquidity levels in order to
meet funding needs of deposit outflows, payment of real estate
taxes on  

                              11<PAGE>

                         AND SUBSIDIARY


mortgage loans, repayment of borrowings and loan commitments. 
Harbor Federal also adjusts liquidity as  appropriate to meet
its asset and liability management objectives.

     The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits,
amortization and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed
securities, maturities of investment securities and other
investments and earnings and funds provided from operations and
borrowings.  While scheduled principal repayments on loans and
mortgage-backed securities are a relatively predictable source
of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly
influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and
competition.  The Company manages the pricing of its deposits to
maintain a desired deposit balance.  In addition, the Company
invests in short-term interest-earning assets, which
provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.

     During the nine months ended December 31, 1998, Harbor
Federal's cash and cash equivalents (cash and short-term
investments with maturities less than 90 days) increased by $1.4
million. 

     The Company had $957,000 in outstanding loan commitments at
December 31, 1998.  Harbor Federal expects to fund its loan
origination's through principal and interest payments on
loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from investment
and other securities as maturities occur, and to the extent
necessary, borrowed funds.  Management expects that funds
provided from these sources will be adequate to meet the
Company's needs.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

     The entire concept behind the Year 2000 issue is the way
the computer stores the year.  In the beginning of the computer
age, computers had limited storage space.  In an effort to save
this storage space, programmers utilized a two-digit year field. 
This means that the year 1998 is stored as 98 in some systems. 
This year format implies that 2000 is stored as 00 and
interpreted as 1900.  In order for calculations to be performed
accurately, these computer systems have to be reprogrammed.

     Achieving Year 2000 readiness has been a major part of
Harbor Federal Savings Bank's strategic planning process for
well over two years.  In 1997, the Company adopted a Year 2000
Action Plan (the "Plan").  The Plan calls for Year 2000
readiness by the end of December 1998, a full year ahead of the
millennium.  The Company relies on its third party service
bureaus to provide data processing services and is dependent
upon vendor application software.  Internal and external
mission critical systems have been upgraded with Year 2000
compliant versions.  These systems include data processing,
accounting, payroll, mortgage management and electronic systems. 
The Company's testing of these mission critical systems has
revealed no Year 2000 discrepancies.  In addition to software,
all hardware has been replaced and tested successfully.  It is
the Company's goal to follow the Plan and to continue to
aggressively monitor Year 2000 issues.

     In addition to the Plan, the Company has devised a Year
2000 contingency plan.  The contingency plan addressed any
issues that may occur to software.  It states alternative
solutions and deadlines for any software that is not Year 2000
compliant.  In addition, the contingency plan handles any
outside variables that may affect the Company when the Year 2000
approaches. Although precautions have been taken, the
contingency plan does not guarantee all external and internal
variables.  However, the Company will continue to design and
implement solutions to avoid interruptions to service.

     Cost associated with the Year 2000 primarily includes costs
incurred to upgrade existing software and to replace hardware. 
The Company estimates that these costs will be incurred in the
normal course of business as software and hardware are
ordinarily upgraded to keep pace with technological advances. 
Management currently expects that these costs could reach
$35,000.

STOCK DIVIDEND

     Net income per share amounts have been restated for the 10%
stock dividend paid on August 10, 1998 to shareholders of record
on July 31, 1998.  Fractional shares were rounded up or down to
the nearest whole share.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities".  SFAS No. 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded
in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and
for hedging activities.  It requires that an entity recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement
of financial position and measure those instruments at fair
value.  It is effective for all fiscal quarters or fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999.  Initial application of this
Statement should be as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal
quarter.  On that date, hedging relationships must be designated
anew and documented pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 133. 
Earlier application is encouraged, but is permitted only as of
the beginning of any fiscal quarter that begins after issuance
of SFAS No. 133.  It does not apply
retroactively.
