HARBOR BANKSHARES CORPORATION

25 West Fayette Street

Baltimore, Maryland 21201

__________, 2006

To Our Shareholders:

On behalf of our Board of Directors, we cordially invite you to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Harbor Bankshares Corporation to be held at Harbor’s main office at 25 West Fayette Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21201 on Wednesday, __________ 2006, at 12:00 noon Eastern Time. The formal Notice of Annual Meeting appears on the next page.

At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote on the approval of a merger agreement which provides for the merger of Harbor Bankshares Corporation with Harbor Merger Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiary, in what is commonly referred to as a “going private” transaction. Harbor Bankshares Corporation will continue after the merger as the surviving company.

The purpose of the merger is to reduce the number of our shareholders of record to fewer than 300, as required for the suspension of our reporting requirements under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in order to eliminate the significant expense required to comply with the those requirements.

If you approve the merger agreement and the merger is completed, each share of Harbor Bankshares Corporation common stock owned of record at the effective time of the merger by a shareholder owning 100 or fewer shares (other than shareholders who properly exercise their rights as objecting shareholders) will be converted into the right to receive from Harbor Bankshares Corporation $31.00 in cash per share, without interest. Shares owned of record by a holder of more than 100 shares will remain as outstanding shares of Harbor Bankshares Corporation common stock after the merger and those shareholders will not receive any cash payment.

Because Harbor Bankshares Corporation has a large number of shareholders who own 100 or fewer shares each, we expect that the merger will reduce the number of shareholders of record by approximately 58%, but will reduce the number of total outstanding shares by less than 2%.

Our Board of Directors believes that the merger agreement is fair to our shareholders and is in the best interests of Harbor Bankshares Corporation and its affiliated and unaffiliated shareholders and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR approval of the merger agreement, and FOR adjournment of the meeting if necessary to solicit additional votes for approval of the merger agreement. The approval of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding voting shares of Harbor Bankshares Corporation common stock, including a majority of voting shares held by shareholders who are not Directors or executive officers of Harbor.

The enclosed proxy statement gives you detailed information about the Annual Meeting, the merger, and related matters. We urge you to read carefully the enclosed proxy statement, including the considerations discussed under “SPECIAL FACTORS,” beginning on page 12, and the appendices to the proxy statement, which include the merger agreement. Shareholders also are asked to reelect Nathaniel Higgs, Delores G. Kelley, Erich March, and Stanley W. Tucker as Class II Directors for three-year terms.

In deciding how to vote, you should consider that Directors and executive officers of Harbor have interests in addition to those as shareholders that may conflict with the interests of unaffiliated shareholders. Please see “How do the Board of Directors and the executive officers recommend that I vote?” on page 8.

It is important that your views be represented whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. Your vote is important, whether you own a few shares or many. We urge you to vote your shares either in person at the Annual Meeting or by returning your proxy as soon as possible. The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR approval of the merger, FOR adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if necessary, and FOR reelection of the four Class II Directors.

Sincerely,

Joseph Haskins, Jr.

Chairman, President, and Chief
Executive Officer

PROPOSAL I—AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

SUMMARY TERM SHEET

This summary highlights selected information from this proxy statement regarding the proposed transaction and may not contain all of the information that is important to you. For a more complete description of the terms and conditions of the transaction and its effects, you should carefully read this entire document, the attachments, and any other documents to which we refer.

• Why is Harbor proposing the merger?

The purpose of the merger is to reduce the number of shareholders of record below 300, which will enable Harbor to terminate the registration of its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

By terminating the Harbor’s registration under that Act, we hope to:

• Achieve significant savings in ongoing legal and accounting costs related to the reporting process and shareholder communications required by the Act;

• Avoid significant expenses and efforts that would be necessary for the Company to comply with additional procedures relating to internal control that otherwise are required by year-end 2007 under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC regulations; and.

• Enable management, employees, and the Board of Directors to focus their efforts on the operations and management of the Company’s business, rather than the reporting processes.

See “SPECIAL FACTORS—Reasons for the Merger” on page 14.

• What are the effects of not being a reporting company?

After we terminate the registration of our common stock, we will no longer prepare and file the quarterly, annual, and other reports and proxy statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We will continue to issue reports and proxy materials, but these may not contain all of the information that is contained in the annual report and proxy statements that Harbor currently distributes.

Harbor common stock is not currently traded on any exchange and will not be listed or quoted on any exchange following the merger, but is traded from time to time in the over the counter market. After we terminate the registration of our common stock, we will not be eligible for future quotation or listing on any stock exchange or organized market, and the number of trading markets where the shares may be traded by market makers will be limited.

Harbor and Harbor Bank will continue to be highly regulated and subject to periodic examination by federal and state bank regulatory agencies

See “Special Factors—Effects of the Merger” on page 23 and ‘—Reasons for the Merger” on page 14

• What will I receive if the merger is approved by shareholders and becomes effective?

If the merger is approved by shareholders and becomes effective:

• Each holder of 100 or fewer shares of common stock will receive $31.00 in cash per share. Share ownership will be calculated by adding all shares registered in the same manner under procedures established by Harbor.

• Each holder of 101 or more shares of common stock will continue as a Harbor shareholder and will own the same number of shares as the holder owned before the merger.

• When will the merger become effective?

The Board of Directors currently plans to make the merger effective within thirty calendar days of the date on which shareholders approve the merger.

• Who are “Filing Persons” and “Affiliates”?

Harbor, the merger corporation, and each of their Directors and executive officers are “Filing Persons” and “Affiliates” under the SEC rules that govern going-private transactions. Each of the Filing Persons and Affiliates has determined that the terms of the merger are substantively and procedurally fair to shareholders who will receive cash for their shares in the merger, unaffiliated shareholders who will not receive cash in the merger, and affiliated shareholders. No executive officers or Directors of Harbor own fewer than 101 shares of Harbor common stock, and, accordingly, no executive officers or Directors of Harbor will receive cash in the merger. As a result of the merger, the percentage of common shares beneficially owned by Directors and executive officers of Harbor will increase by less than 2%. See “SPECIAL FACTORS—INTRODUCTION” on page 26.

6

• Does the Board of Directors believe that the terms of the merger are fair?

Yes. The Board of Directors and each of the executive officers believes that the terms of the merger, including the amount to be paid per share, are fair to and in the best interests of Harbor and all of its shareholders. In reaching its conclusion, the Board considered, among other things:

• The matters discussed under “Reasons for the Merger”;

• The opinion of Harbor’s financial advisor, Danielson Associates, as to the fair value of the common stock;

• Harbor’s financial performance since the date of the Danielson Associates opinion;

• Harbor’s current financial position and its available sources of liquidity;

• Harbor’s business and financial prospects;

• The continued costs of compliance with Harbor’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act; and

• The current and historical prices for our common stock and the liquidity of the market for the common stock.

The members of the Board of Directors and the executive officers have specifically determined that the transaction is financially and procedurally fair to unaffiliated shareholders. See “Special Factors-Reasons for the Merger” on page 14, “-Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Merger Proposal” on page 15, “-Fairness Determination by Filing Persons” on page 16, “-Opinion of Financial Advisor” on page 17, and “-Price Adjustment since Opinion Date” on page 22.

• What is the merger, and how will Harbor be operated after the merger?

In the merger, Harbor Merger Corporation, a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Harbor, will merge with and into Harbor, with harbor being the surviving corporation. As a result of the merger, shareholders who own 100 or fewer shares of Harbor common stock, except for shares owned by shareholders who properly exercise their rights to object to the merger, will receive $31.00 in cash for each share owned, without interest. Shareholders who own more than 100 shares of Harbor common stock will continue to hold shares of Harbor common stock and will not receive any cash in connection with the merger. Approximately 12,500 shares, or less than 2% of total outstanding shares, are expected to be exchanged for cash in the merger. The estimated costs of the merger, including cash to be paid to shareholders with 100 or fewer shares, is $442, 143, or less than 3% of total stockholder’s equity at March 31, 2006.

After the merger, Harbor will continue to operate as a bank holding company and as the parent corporation for Harbor Bank, and expects its business and operations to continue as they are currently being conducted, but without the need to file reports with the SEC. Also, the executive officers and Directors of Harbor will continue to be the executive officers and Directors of Harbor following the merger. We expect to complete the merger in ________ 2006.

See: “THE MERGER AGREEMENT” on page 34 and the copy of the merger agreement attached as Appendix A.

• What vote is required to approve the merger agreement?

The affirmative vote of least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of Harbor common stock eligible to vote is needed for approval of the merger. Members of Harbor’s Board of Directors and executive officers having the power to vote approximately 193,177 or 30.1% of the 641,784 outstanding voting shares have indicated that they intend to vote FOR the merger. The members of the Board of Directors and the executive officers do not intend to acquire any additional shares of common stock prior to approval of the merger. The approval of approximately 52% of the remaining 448,607 outstanding voting shares owned by other, unaffiliated shareholders will be required for approval of the merger. All holders of record of Harbor voting common stock as of _________________, 2006, will receive a copy of this proxy statement and are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

• Who is entitled to vote?

Shareholders of voting common stock as of the close of business on __________, 2006, the record date, are entitled to vote at the meeting. Each share of voting common stock is entitled to one vote. See “The Annual Meeting-Shares Entitled to Vote; Quorum and Vote Required” on page 46.

7

• How do the Board of Directors and the executive officers recommend that I vote?

The Board of Directors, by a unanimous vote, has approved the merger agreement and recommends that you vote FOR approval of the merger agreement. Executive officers who are not Directors also recommend that you vote FOR approval. You should note that all of the Directors and executive officers own more than 100 shares and expect to remain Harbor shareholders after the merger, and that no Director or executive officer is expected to receive cash in the merger. As you consider the recommendation of the Board of Directors, you should be aware that the Directors and officers of Harbor have interests in addition to their interests as shareholders of Harbor that may conflict with the interests of shareholders who will be cashed out in the merger or non-affiliated shareholders who will not be cashed out in the merger. See “Special Factors-Interests of Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger” on page 26.

• How do I vote?

Each shareholder should sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it to us in the prepaid envelope. Unless contrary instructions are indicated on the proxy, all shares represented by valid proxies received pursuant to this solicitation will be voted in favor of the merger and in favor of the election of all nominees as Director. If you own your shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee, you must vote through your record holder. See “THE ANNUAL MEETING” on page 46.

• Do I have appraisal or dissenter’s rights?

Yes. If the merger is approved by the shareholders and is completed, any shareholder who properly perfects his or her right to object to the merger will be entitled to receive an amount of cash equal to the fair value of his shares rather than the consideration provided by the merger agreement. See “APPRAISAL RIGHTS OF HARBOR SHAREHOLDERS” on page 30.

• What are the federal income tax implications of the merger?

The receipt of cash in the merger will be taxable for United States federal income tax purposes. You will be treated as either having sold your shares of Harbor common stock for the cash received or as having received the cash as a dividend. In general, your receipt of cash in exchange for your shares of Harbor common stock will be treated as a sale or exchange and you will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the cash received less your adjusted tax basis of your shares exchanged for such cash if you actually and constructively own no shares of Harbor common stock immediately after the exchange. If you actually or constructively own shares of Harbor common stock after the exchange, your receipt of cash in exchange for your shares of Harbor common stock may be taxed as a dividend. Shareholders who do not receive cash should not recognize any gain or loss on continuing to hold their shares of Harbor common stock as a result of the merger.

See “SPECIAL FACTORS—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” on page 28.

• Should I send in my certificates now?

No. After the effectiveness of the merger, holders of 100 or fewer shares will be sent a letter of transmittal and instructions for submitting shares for payment. Holders of 101 or more shares will not be required to exchange their certificates. See “THE MERGER AGREEMENT—Exchange of Certificates” on page 35.

• Who can help answer my questions?

If you have additional questions about the merger, you should contact Teodoro J. Hernandez, Vice President and Treasurer, at Harbor Bankshares Corporation, 25 West Fayette Street, Baltimore, MD 21201, telephone (410) 528-1800.

SPECIAL FACTORS

Background of the Merger

Harbor was organized in 1992 to be the registered holding company for the Bank. Harbor became a “public” company filing reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 1992. No organized market for the Harbor common stock has ever existed, however, and trading is infrequent and sporadic. From time to time over the years, management has informally discussed the alternatives available to the Company to cease being a reporting company and the relative benefits and costs of deregistration with counsel to the Company. No formal presentations were made by counsel or management on this issue, and no outside evaluation or opinion as to the value of the Company’s common stock was solicited. No follow-up on these discussions occurred, and the Company continued to file reports and other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In July 2002, the Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002, commonly referred to as Sarbanes-Oxley, was signed into law. Although Sarbanes-Oxley was enacted in 2002, many of its provisions and the provisions of regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission that were required by Sarbanes-Oxley, did not immediately take effect, but instead have been implemented over time. Some provisions are still in the process of implementation. Since its enactment, Sarbanes-Oxley has created significant additional and increasing regulatory burdens and costs for Harbor. However, Harbor will not bear the full burden of Sarbanes-Oxley until, at the earliest, the application to Harbor of the requirements regarding internal controls over financial reporting under Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404, which is now scheduled for year end 2007. Harbor’ estimates of the costs of Section 404 compliance and the experience of the larger companies that were required to comply at year-end 2004 with these requirements indicates that significant costs and burdens will result from compliance with Section 404 in addition to the substantial burdens and costs that currently apply to Harbor.

Management and the Board of Directors from time to time received information from Company counsel, its independent accountants, banking industry trade groups, and other sources regarding the requirements of these new provisions of law and regulation. As a result of the implementation of these new provisions, management and the Board of Directors became concerned that the new procedures and disclosures required to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley would significantly increase the management, staff, and Board time and resources dedicated to the securities reporting and disclosure process, including the time needed for training employees in the particulars of the new provisions and additional procedures involved in the management attestations and certifications of internal controls and financial statements. Concern also arose with respect to potential increases in expenses incurred for those processes, including the fees of counsel, accountants, and other compliance advisors and service providers. The Board of Directors and management were also concerned about the potential additional civil and criminal proceedings or liabilities to which the President and Chief Financial Officer could become subject as a result of the new financial statement certification requirements, and Harbor’s potential liability to indemnify them if they successfully defended themselves, and the costs of the Company’s participation in any such suit, investigation, or proceeding.

In the third quarter of 2004, management informally discussed with Harbor’s special legal counsel the ability to deregister, and the procedure Harbor should follow in pursuing a possible deregistration transaction. Following those discussions, management began a study of the potential costs and benefits to Harbor of deregistration, and, from time to time, had additional discussions with legal counsel regarding deregistration and the costs of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and of fulfilling the reporting obligations of a public company. At a regular meeting of the Board of Directors on May 11, 2005, management discussed the effects on Harbor and its shareholders of deregistration and the related costs and benefits, and formally proposed that the Board of Directors consider a transaction which would result in the reduction of the number of shareholders of record sufficient to permit the Company to deregister the common stock under the Securities Act of 1934. Following discussion, the Board voted to proceed with the process in general, but did not at that time determine the timing, structure, or terms of any transaction. Following that meeting, members of management engaged in further discussions with legal counsel and Harbor’s independent accountants regarding the process of deregistration, and began the preparation of the necessary filings. After considering the proposals of several investment banking and financial advisory firms experienced in the valuation and appraisal of financial institutions, Harbor retained the firm of Danielson Associates, Inc., Rockville, Maryland, to provide it with an appraisal of the shares and an opinion that the price to be paid for shares which would be cashed out was a fair price for the common stock. Danielson Associates was selected because of its extensive experience, over a twenty year period, in the valuation and appraisal of financial institutions in connection with mergers, acquisitions, stock offerings, repurchases, fairness opinions, and similar matters; its reputation in the financial services industry for providing such services; the recommendation of counsel, who had previously worked with Danielson Associates; and the price of obtaining the appraisal and opinion from Danielson Associates, which was substantially below the prices quoted by other investment banks. Danielson Associates also had assisted Harbor with respect to the valuation of its common stock in the past. The opinion of Danielson Associates is summarized below, and its fairness opinion is attached as Appendix B hereto.

12

Harbor’s Board of Directors considered the deregistration at its regular meeting on December 14, 2005. In attendance for its consideration of this matter were a representative of Danielson Associates and outside legal counsel as well as the President and CEO and the Treasurer. At that meeting, the Board discussed the structure and effects of deregistration of Harbor as a public company and the merger; the effects of the merger on Harbor, on shareholders whose shares would be acquired in the merger, and on the remaining shareholders; the fiduciary duties of Directors to shareholders; and related matters. In the meeting, outside legal counsel described the process and alternative structures of deregistration to the Board, and the representative of Danielson Associates presented its report, which had previously been distributed to the Board, regarding the fair value of Harbor common stock. Following discussion, the Board unanimously determined that the merger was fair to Harbor and its shareholders, established a price of $29.00 per share to be paid per share to shareholders whose shares would be purchased in the merger, and authorized and directed executive management to proceed with the appropriate actions to effect the merger. The Board of Directors subsequently increased the price to $31.00 per share. See “Price Adjustment since Opinion Date” on page 22.

As described below, Harbor’s Board of Director’s determined that the accomplishing the deregistration by merger was superior to each of the alternatives discussed at its meeting of December 14, 2006:

• Tender Offer. In a tender offer, Harbor would offer to purchase common shares, following the rules established for tender offers by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This method allows shareholders to choose whether or not to have their shares cashed out, as long as the conditions to the tender offer are met. The primary disadvantage to this method is the lack of certainty that a sufficient number of holders will tender their shares to allow the deregistration.

• Reverse Split. In a reverse split, Harbor would exchange one new share of common stock for a fixed number of outstanding shares, but would pay cash instead of issuing any fractional shares. The exchange ratio in a reverse split would be based upon the estimated number of shareholders to be cashed out in order to reduce the number of record holders below 300. Just as in the case of the merger: (i) approval of more than 2/3 of the common stock entitled to vote would be required; (ii) shares would be required to be cashed out; and (iii) shareholders would be entitled to appraisal rights. The primary disadvantage of this method is the increased cost necessitated by the cashing out of fractional shares of holders who would remain record holders after the reverse split. In addition, Harbor believes that reverse splits are more complex and more difficult to explain to shareholders than mergers.

• Market Acquisition of Shares. Acquisition of shares on the market was believed to be impractical, given the lack of an established trading market. This method also (i) would not provide any certainty that the number of shareholders would be reduced by a sufficient number, and (ii) would allow shareholders to sell a part of their holdings, while continuing to be record holders of other shares.

The Board of Directors determined the 100-share threshold for determination of shareholders who will be cashed out in the merger based upon the “round number” of shares held of record to be cashed out that would be likely to result in fewer than 300 post-merger record holders without unnecessary cost. The determination was not based upon the identity of any shareholders or on any characteristics of any holder or group of holders other than the number of shares held of record.

At its meeting of April 19, 2006, the Board reviewed the price to be paid to shareholders whose shares will be purchased in the merger based upon factors it previously had considered and upon the performance of Harbor since the original price was determined. As a result of that review, the Board unanimously increased the price to be paid per share in the merger to $31.00 per share from the original $29.00 per share. See “Price Adjustment since Opinion Date” on page 22.

See “Special Factors—Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Merger Proposal“ on page 15, and “SUMMARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION“ on page 9.

Reasons for the Merger

The primary purpose of the merger is to reduce the number of holders of the common stock below 300, which will enable Harbor to suspend filing periodic and annual reports with the SEC and to no longer incur the significant costs of complying with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The elimination of those requirements will allow management to refocus the time spent preparing reporting documents and engaging in securities law compliance activities onto the pursuit of operational and business goals. In considering the proposed amendments, the Board of Directors considered the benefits and costs to Harbor and the shareholders set forth below, and the factors discussed under the caption “Background of the Merger.”

• Harbor believes that as a result of the merger it will be able to realize cost savings of at least $87,600 annually by eliminating the requirements to make periodic public reports and by reducing the expenses of shareholder communications, including legal expense ($12,000), accounting expense ($30,000), printing ($20,000), postage ($1,800), data entry, stock transfer, and other administrative expenses ($7,500), as well as a result of reduced staff and management time ($10,000) spent on reporting and securities law compliance matters, and reduction in aggregate total dividend costs ($6,300). In addition, Harbor will avoid the costs of initial compliance with the internal control over financial reporting systems requirements of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, currently expected to be required for public companies of Harbor’s size by year-end 2007, which are estimated to range from $150,000 to $200,000, and continued annual costs of related compliance and reporting in amounts not determined. The Board of Directors believes that the increased disclosure and procedural requirements will result in continuing increased legal, accounting, and administrative expense, and the diversion of Board of Directors, management, and staff effort without a commensurate benefit to the shareholders.

• Given the absence of a public market for the common stock, and the sporadic and limited trading in the common stock, the Board of Directors does not believe that the costs of reporting are justified. Harbor’s earnings are sufficient to permit Harbor’s expected growth, and Harbor is not dependent on access to the capital markets to obtain additional financing. If it becomes necessary to raise additional capital, Harbor believes that there are adequate sources of additional capital available, whether through borrowing at the holding company level, or through private or institutional sales of equity or debt securities, although there can be no assurance that Harbor will be able to raise additional capital when required, or that the cost of such capital will be attractive.

• The merger is expected to result in the cashing-out at a price determined to be fair by the Board of Directors of the common stock owned by approximately 360 shareholders (58% of the total number of record holders) who, at the Effective Time of the merger, own 100 or fewer shares of Harbor common stock. However, these shareholders together own less that 2% of Harbor’s outstanding common stock.

• Harbor and the Bank would continue to be minority-owned institutions after the merger.

• The merger will enable small shareholders to divest themselves of their positions without the expenditure of efforts disproportionate to the value of their holdings, without transaction expenses, and at a price which is significantly higher than recent trades of which Harbor is aware, which have ranged from $25.00 to $28.00 per share.

• Shareholders who receive cash in the merger generally are expected to be subject to federal income taxes on any gains as if the shares were sold on the market. (See “SPECIAL FACTORS—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences“ on page 28.)

• The merger and deregistration will have little if any effect on the ability to trade common stock, as no organized market currently exists. Trades will continue to be the result of direct communications between buyers and sellers. The amount paid for the shares being cashed out may result in an increase in the pricing level of future trades, although there can be no assurance that higher prices for the common stock will result or that a continuing shareholder will be able to sell shares at the price being paid to shareholders being cashed out.

14

• Operating as a private company will allow management to better focus its efforts on the operations of the Bank, which will benefit our customers and the communities in which we operate.

• The merger will permit a significant percentage of our shareholders to continue as shareholders and to enjoy the benefits of share ownership, including dividends, when and if declared, potential capital appreciation, and civic benefits from owning shares in a community oriented institution such as Harbor. At the same time, Harbor will be relieved of significant expense and diversion of management time and effort, which may result in improved operating efficiencies and reduced need for additional compliance-related employees, and in potentially increased net earnings.

• Harbor and the Bank would continue to be highly regulated and subject to periodic examination by the federal and state bank regulatory agencies. The management and Board of Directors of Harbor would not be affected by the transaction. Substantial information about Harbor’s financial affairs would remain available to interested shareholders.

• Harbor believes that no material adverse impact on Harbor’s financial position would result from the transaction. The payment of cash from Harbor’s capital accounts, however, could result in a future reduction in earnings or reduced asset levels as a result of reduced capital levels and compliance with regulatory capital requirements. The Board of Directors considered the impact of reduced capital levels, but determined that Harbor’s and Bank’s capital levels would remain more than sufficient to meet the levels required for well capitalized status under applicable regulations after the merger, and that any reduction in income resulting from reduced assets would likely be offset by cost savings realized as a result of deregistration.

• The Board of Directors has determined that the price to be paid for the shares of Harbor common stock to be cashed out in the merger is fair and that this deregistration transaction is procedurally fair to Harbor shareholders who will be cashed out in the merger. The Board of Directors also has determined that the transaction is financially and procedurally fair to the remaining shareholders of Harbor, including non-affiliates and affiliates. The Board of Directors has determined that the price at which shares will be cashed out is a fair price for the Harbor common stock. In reaching this conclusion the Board of Directors considered the valuation factors summarized in the opinion of its financial advisor, the performance of Harbor since that opinion was rendered, and the factors stated above and under “Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Merger Proposal,” below. In particular, the Board considered that the $31.00 price represents 11.2 times trailing twelve month earnings at March 31, 2006, and 125% of book value per common share at March 31, 2006.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Merger Proposal

The Board of Directors has unanimously determined that the merger is in the best interests of Harbor and all of its shareholders, and is substantively and procedurally fair to: (i) shareholders who will receive cash for their shares in the merger, and (ii) other unaffiliated shareholders. The Board also believes that the process by which the transaction was approved is fair to all of Harbor’s shareholders, and fair to unaffiliated shareholders receiving cash in the merger as well as those unaffiliated shareholders who will retain their shares after the merger. The Board’s determination as to the per share price of $31.00 was made at following a vote of the members of the Board of Directors at which the price was approved by a unanimous vote. As set forth in the section entitled “Special Factors – Background of the merger,” prior to voting upon the per share price, the members of the Board of Directors agreed that the going-private transaction is in the best interests of Harbor and all of its shareholders and, based upon the report and opinion provided by Danielson Associates and other factors, unanimously agreed that the per share price to be paid in the merger is fair to all of the shareholders of Harbor and unanimously approved the merger agreement, which included the $31.00 per share price. The Board of Directors adopted the conclusions and analysis of the Danielson Report. The Board of Directors also believes that the process by which the transaction is to be approved by shareholders is fair. The Board of Directors established that the transaction is procedurally fair to the unaffiliated shareholders although it did not retain separate, independent counsel or appraisers to represent solely unaffiliated shareholders. The Board of Directors, however, satisfied the procedural and other requirements of Maryland law, which require it to act in the best interests of all of its shareholders, require the approval of a super-majority of more than 2/3 of the shares entitled to vote as a condition to the merger; and provide dissenter’s appraisal rights. Because officers and Directors own approximately 30% of outstanding shares that will be entitled to vote in the merger and have pledged not purchase any additional shares of common stock prior to the vote of shareholders, approval of the merger effectively requires the approval of more than a majority of unaffiliated shareholders. As described further below, the Board of Directors obtained the opinion of an independent financial advisor as to the fairness of the cash-out price to all shareholders, including, specifically, unaffiliated shareholders. The Board of Directors has increased the cash out price consistent with the analysis of the financial advisor. In light of these factors, the Board believes that appointing separate independent counsel or appraisers is unnecessary, and would unnecessarily require additional expense.

15

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote FOR approval of the merger agreement. Each member of the Board of Directors and each executive officer of Harbor has advised Harbor that he or she intends to vote his or her shares in favor of the merger agreement for the reasons described above. As you consider the recommendation of the Board of Directors, you should be aware that the Directors and officers of Harbor have interests in addition to their interests as shareholders of Harbor that may conflict with the interests of shareholders who will be cashed out in the merger or non-affiliated shareholders who will not be cashed out in the merger. See “Special Factors-Interests of Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger“ on page 26.

As of __________, 2006, the Directors and executive officers of Harbor and the Bank (16 persons) beneficially owned a total of 193,177 shares of Harbor’s outstanding common stock, or approximately 30.1% (not including any shares that may be acquired pursuant to the exercise of stock options), of the total shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. None of these officers or Directors intends to acquire additional shares of common stock before the merger agreement is approved. Accordingly, the approval of unaffiliated shareholders owning an additional 234,679 shares is necessary for the approval of the merger agreement.

The Board has the authority to reject (and not implement) the merger (even after approval thereof by shareholders) if it determines subsequently that the merger is not then in the best interests of Harbor and its shareholders.

Merger Subsidiary’s Determination of Fairness of the Merger Proposal

The merger subsidiary and its Board of Directors believe that the merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, all of Harbor’s shareholders. The merger subsidiary and its Board of Directors have determined that the merger is fair to the unaffiliated shareholders who will receive cash in the merger and those who will retain their shares of Harbor common stock after the merger. The merger subsidiary and its Board also believe that the process by which the transaction was approved is fair to all of Harbor’s shareholders and have concluded that the process was fair to unaffiliated shareholders receiving cash in the merger as well as those unaffiliated shareholders who will retain their shares after the merger. In reaching its conclusions, the merger subsidiary relied upon the factors considered by, and has expressly adopted the analyses and conclusions of, Harbor’s Board of Directors. See “Special Factors—Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Merger Proposal“ on page 15. Merger subsidiary has not received a report, opinion, or appraisal from an outside party. The merger agreement has been approved by merger subsidiary’s Board of Directors and by Harbor, as the sole shareholder of merger subsidiary.

Fairness Determination by Filing Persons

Our Directors and executive officers are deemed to be “filing persons” under the SEC rules that govern going-private transactions. These rules require each filing person to state whether he or she believes that the transaction is fair to unaffiliated security holders. The filing persons consist of the following individuals: Joseph Haskins, Jr., Teodoro J. Hernandez, Darius L. Davis, James H. DeGraffereidt, Jr., Louis J. Grasmick, Nathaniel Higgs, Delores G. Kelley, Erich March, Garnetta Massey, John Paterakis, John D. Ryder, James Scott, Jr., Edward St. John, Walter S. Thomas, Stanley W. Tucker, and George F. Vaeth, Jr. (together, the “Filing Persons”).

In forming his or her belief as to the fairness of the transaction to the unaffiliated shareholders, each of the Filing Persons has relied upon the factors considered by Harbor’s Board of Directors, including Danielson Associates’ analyses and opinion, and has adopted Harbor’s Board of Directors’ analysis and conclusions. See “Special Factors—Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Merger Proposal.” Based on those factors, each of the Filing Persons believes that the merger agreement and the process by which the transaction was approved are fair to each of the unaffiliated shareholders, including those who will receive cash in the merger and those who will retain their shares of Harbor common stock. The Filing Persons have not received any report, opinion, or appraisal from an outside party that is materially related to the merger other than the report of Danielson Associates. The belief of each of the Filing Persons is his or her individual belief and does not constitute investment advice. If a shareholder is unsure of whether to vote in favor of the merger agreement, that shareholder should consider the recommendation of the Board of Directors or consult with the shareholder’s personal financial advisor.

16

Each of the Filing Persons also adopts the purpose and reasons for the merger, and the decision regarding the alternative structures for the going private transaction of the Board of Directors. See “SPECIAL FACTORS – Background of the Merger“ on page 12, and “–Reasons for the Merger on page 14.

Opinion of Financial Advisor

Harbor retained Danielson Associates Inc. (“Danielson Associates”) to perform an independent appraisal of the “fair” market value of the common stock of Harbor as of December 8, 2005. Market value is defined as the price at which the common stock would change hands between a willing seller and a willing buyer, each having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts and assuming a significant amount of stock changing hands daily to assure a true reflection of market forces. Danielson Associates rendered its written and oral opinion as of December 8, 2005, to the Harbor at its meeting of the Board of Directors on December 14, 2005. No limitations were imposed by Harbor’s Board of Directors upon Danielson Associates with respect to the investigation made or procedures followed by it in arriving at its opinion. The description of the opinion in this proxy statement has been reviewed by Danielson Associates, and is in a form acceptable to it.

Danielson Associates is regularly engaged in the valuation of banks and bank holding companies in connection with mergers, acquisitions, and other securities transactions; and has knowledge of, and experience with Maryland and other mid-Atlantic markets and banking organizations operating in those markets. Danielson Associates was selected by Harbor because of its knowledge of, expertise with, and reputation in the financial services industry.

In arriving at its opinion, Danielson Associates:

• Reviewed certain business and financial information relating to Harbor including reports of condition and income and related schedules (commonly referred to as “call reports”) filed by the Bank with federal banking regulators from 1990 through September 30, 2005, the annual reports of Harbor on Form 10-KSB for 2003 and 2004 and the quarterly report of Harbor on Form 10-QSB for September 30, 2005.

• Discussed the past and current operations, financial condition, and prospects of Harbor with its senior executives.

• Reviewed and compared the pricing ratios, to the extent publicly available, with those of comparable institutions.

• Considered such other factors as it deemed appropriate.

Danielson Associates did not obtain any independent appraisal of assets or liabilities of Harbor. Further, Danielson Associates did not independently verify the information provided by Harbor and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all such information.

In arriving at its opinion, Danielson Associates performed a variety of financial analyses. Danielson Associates believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that consideration of portions of such analyses could create an incomplete view of Danielson Associates’ appraisal. The preparation of an appraisal of “fair” market value is a complex process involving subjective judgments and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description.

In its analyses, Danielson Associates made certain assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions, and other matters, many of which were beyond Harbor’s control. Any estimates contained in Danielson Associates analyses are not necessarily indicative of future results of value, which may be significantly more or less favorable than such estimates. Estimates of the value of companies do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or their securities may actually be sold.

The following is a summary of selected analyses considered by Danielson Associates in connection with its opinion.

Comparable Companies. In determining what is a “fair” price for the outstanding shares of Harbor common stock, Harbor was compared with four groups of publicly-traded banking organizations. The first group is comprised of fourteen commercial banking organizations based in urban areas that have assets between $150 and $500 million, have returns on average assets above .50%, and trade on a national exchange (“urban exchange group”). The second group consists of eleven commercial banking organizations with the same restrictions as the urban exchange group but which trade instead on the over-the-counter bulletin Board market (“urban OTC group”). These banking organizations are sometimes referred to as “banks” for simplicity. The banks in these groups are either small urban banks or minority-owned banks. The analysis was complicated by the fact that very few small urban banks or banks that are minority-owned have publicly traded stock. However, the banks in these four groups are similar to Harbor and are believed to provide the best measurement of Harbor’s stock value. The initial comparisons are to three groups of non-minority banks in urban areas, but the primary comparison on which Harbor’s valuation is based is to a group comprised of other minority-owned banks. The composition of the comparable company groups is described below.

• Urban Exchange Group – This group is comprised of fourteen commercial banks based in urban areas along the east coast that have assets between $150 and $500 million, have returns on average assets above .50%, and trade on a national exchange. The stocks of these banks, with three exceptions, trade on average more than 2,000 shares each day.

• Urban OTC Group – This group consists of eleven commercial banks with the same restrictions as the urban exchange group, but which trade on the over-the-counter bulletin board market. The stocks of most of these banks are less liquid than those of the urban exchange group and trade on average a little over 900 shares each day.

• Urban Most Applicable Group – Since the first two groups contained several newly-formed banks and banks with much better performance than Harbor, a third group was created from the banks in the urban exchange group and the urban OTC group which eliminated those less comparable banks. The remaining seven banks are the banks most applicable to Harbor based on location, performance, and history.

• Minority-Owned Group – Includes banks that are among the total seventeen minority-owned publicly-traded banks. Several different minorities are represented in the total seventeen institutions– African-American, Hispanic, and Asian and women. Some of these banks are comparable to Harbor but others because of their size, performance, or minority orientation are not comparable. Accordingly, banks with assets over $900 million or other attributes that would make them not comparable to Harbor were excluded from this group. The remaining four minority-owned banks are most comparable to Harbor

The first two groups of urban comparables, and the third group which is a mix of the first two, provides a base from which to view the pricing of a non-minority-owned bank located in a city. As will be discussed later, minority-owned banks tend to serve larger more densely populated urban areas and typically have a lower valuation.

Financial Comparisons

• Urban Exchange Group. The urban exchange group’s financial performance was comparable to Harbor’s. The urban exchange group’s median returns on average assets and equity of .78% and 9.74% were similar to Harbor’s .74% and 10.94%, respectively. Additionally, nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) as a percent of assets were .38% for Harbor which was higher, but not much higher, than the .22% for the comparable group. The urban exchange group had equity-to-assets of 8.24% while Harbor’s was 6.66%. Harbor’s net interest income of 4.61% of average assets in the nine months ending September 30, 2005, was much higher than the urban exchange group median of 3.65%, but this was more than offset by net operating expense that was about one and a half times the comparative group’s median. The urban exchange group’s stock price multiples were diverse. The price times earnings multiples for the fourteen banks, ranged from 12.8 to 34.0 times earnings, with a median of 22.7 times earnings. The price-to-book ratios also had a wide range with a low of 143%, a high of 288% and the median was 178%.

18

• Urban OTC Group. The urban OTC group performed much better than Harbor with median returns on average assets and equity of 1.12% and 14.18%, respectively, compared to .74% and 10.94%, respectively, for Harbor. Equity-to-assets was similar with the urban OTC group having a median of 6.53% to Harbor’s 6.66%. Once again the NPAs of the comparable group were lower than Harbor’s, but at .23% of assets versus .38% of assets for Harbor the difference was negligible. In comparing income and expense ratios, Harbor outperformed the OTC group in terms of net interest income but gave away its advantage with higher net operating expense. Harbor had net interest income to average assets of 4.59% for the first nine months ended September 30, 2005 versus a median of 3.96% for the urban OTC group. Net operating expense was the opposite with Harbor having a much higher net operating expense to average assets of 3.23% compared to 2.12% for the comparable group. As a result Harbor’s net operating income as a percent of assets was lower than that of the comparable group’s median – 1.36% to 2.04%. The pricing ratios for the urban OTC group were just as diverse as the urban exchange group’s. Price-to-earnings multiples ranged from 11.6 to 30.7, with a median of 17.8. Price-to-book multiples ranged from 159% to 296% of book with a median of 223%.

• Urban Most Applicable Group. Since the members of the urban exchange group and the urban OTC group were selected based on their having similar assets to Harbor and being in urban markets, there were differences in their other characteristics that distort their comparability to Harbor. For example, the pricing multiples of the urban exchange group and the urban OTC group were in the range of 18 to 23 times earnings and 170% to 230% of book, but these groups contain several newly formed banks and banks with far superior performance that are valued at high multiples. As noted above, the Urban Most Applicable Group was created by eliminating less comparable banks that were new or high performance banks. The urban most applicable group’s seven banks had median returns on average assets and equity of .91% and 11.30%, respectively. While this was higher than Harbor’s .74% and 10.94%, respectively, both are in the range of moderate performing banks.

• Minority-Owned Group. There are seventeen publicly traded minority-owned institutions as defined by the Federal Reserve Bank. These banks represent African-American, Hispanic, Asian and women minorities. Some of these banks are comparable to Harbor but others because of their size, performance, or minority orientation are not comparable and have been excluded. Danielson Associates determined that the remaining four banks that are most comparable to Harbor provide the best basis on which to value its stock.

The minority-owned institutions that were non-comparable were excluded based on size, performance, or minority orientation. The five banks with assets over $900 million were so much larger than Harbor that they were not comparable. In terms of performance there were three banks whose performance was too far above Harbor’s to be comparable and five banks whose performance was too far below Harbor’s to be comparable. The three top performers all had returns on equity near 14% or more and the five poorly performing banks all had returns on equity below 4%. In addition two of these poor performers with assets under $100 million and were too small to be comparable, and a third had high NPAs which might add another reason that it would be not comparable. One of the top performers – Abigail Adams – has performance that could be considered comparable but it was also eliminated based on being a women’s owned bank, rather than an African-American owned bank, and it does not market itself as a minority-owned institution.

The remaining four minority-owned institutions (the “minority-owned group”) were all African-American owned, three of which were banks and the other a thrift. The largest in the group was the New York City based thrift Carver Bancorp, Inc. (“Carver”) with assets of $648 million and the smallest was the Miami, Florida based PanAmerican Bancorp (“PanAmerican”) with assets of $244 million The other two banks were the Atlanta, Georgia based Citizens Bancshares Corporation (“Citizens”) and the Washington, D.C. based IBW Financial Corporation (“IBW”). Harbor with assets of $247 million was nearly identical in assets to PanAmerican.

19

Equity as a percent of assets was similar for three of the banks, but the fourth was substantially higher. The three with similar capital-to-asset ratios – Carver, Citizens, and IBW all had ratios between 7.33% and 8.29%. Harbor had capital-to-assets of 6.66%. The fourth bank PanAmerican had capital-to-assets of 17.59% but it just raised about $15 million in new equity in the third quarter of 2005.

In terms of performance the four banks in the minority-owned group had performance comparable but below that of Harbor. Returns on average equity ranged from 5.93% to 8.66% with a median of 7.24%. Harbor’s return on average equity was 10.94% but it was aided by its low capital ratio. Returns on average assets were closer with the four banks posting returns of .45%, .48%, .69%, and .99%. Harbor had a return on average assets of .74%, above all but one of the minority owned group. In terms on NPAs none of the four banks in the minority-owned group has significant NPAs. The bank with the lowest NPAs-to-assets was PanAmerican at .02% and the highest was Citizens with 1.23%. Harbor had NPAs-to-assets of .38%.

Harbor’s net interest income and net operating expense as a percent of average assets was similar to that of three of the four banks in the minority-owned group. Harbor’s net interest income to average assets of 4.59% was inside the range of 4.48% to 4.65% posted by Citizens, IBW, and PanAmerican. In terms on net operating expense to average assets Harbor’s 3.23% was again inside the range of the same three banks – 3.16% to 3.87%. The fourth bank Carver posted net interest income and net operating income as a percent of average assets of 3.05% and 2.29%, respectively.

The pricing of three of the four banks in the minority-owned group were similar. Citizens, Carver and IBW all had price times earnings multiples in a fairly tight range with multiples of 9.8, 14.0 and 14.0 times earnings, respectively. These same banks had price-to-book ratios of 82%, 80%, and 90%, respectively. The fourth bank, PanAmerican had a price times earnings multiple of 22.2 and price-to-book of 141%. The pricing of PanAmerican can be discounted as it recently raised a substantial amount of new capital after years of losses and its stock trades for less than $5.00.

Absent adjustments for illiquidity of the market for the stock discussed below, Harbor’s common stock would be expected to trade within the comparative groups’ normal range of earnings multiples, as its financial characteristics are comparable with those of the comparative groups. However, the banking organizations most similar to Harbor, the urban minority owned banks, do not trade in line with the pricing values of the other comparable groups’, and as a result the fair value of Harbor will similarly not be in line with the pricing values of the other groups.

Valuation Methods. A number of methodologies can be used to establish a fair price for shares of an unlisted stock, including (a) sale prices of similar companies, (b) liquidation value, (c) discounted dividends analysis under certain earnings and growth assumptions, and (d) comparisons with stock prices of similar companies that are publicly-traded. Danielson Associates determined that a comparison with stock prices of similar publicly traded companies was the best method for the valuation of Harbor’s common stock. The first three methods are primarily utilized when there is either a likely sale of the company, a possibility of failing, or adequate comparisons do not exist. These last three methods were not used for the Harbor valuation because Harbor is not considering a sale, it is not in danger of failing, and there are applicable market comparables on which to base a valuation of its stock. Thus, Harbor’s value has been established on a “going-concern value” basis by comparisons to stock prices of urban and minority-owned banks with similar size, performance, and market characteristics after which certain discounts were applied.

• Earnings Derived Valuation. The methods by which bank stocks are normally valued are (a) price times earnings, (b) price-to-book, and (c) price-to-assets. Generally, the best method of valuation when earnings are normal, or can be normalized, is price times earnings. Price-to-book is used when price times earnings cannot be used because earnings are not normal or cannot easily be normalized. Price-to-assets is used when price-to book does not provide a meaningful valuation. As Harbor’s earnings had been sustained for several years through September 30, 2005, Danielson determined that the valuation should be based primarily on earnings. (But see “Price Adjustment since Opinion Date“ on page 22, below.)

20

The first two groups considered were the urban exchange group and the urban OTC group. A number of the banks in these two groups were eliminated to form a single group with more similarities to Harbor, but the pricing multiples of the larger groups than were reviewed for reference. The urban exchange group had fourteen banks and a median price times earnings multiple of 22.7. The urban OTC group had eleven banks and had a median price times earnings multiple of 17.8.

When the new banks and high performers in the urban exchange group and the OTC group were eliminated there were seven banks remaining. These seven banks comprise the urban most applicable group and had financial conditions and performance similar to Harbor’s. The median price times earnings of this group were 15.5. That the price times earnings were lower than those of the larger groups is not surprising as new banks are often valued based on anticipated future performance and high performing banks may merit a higher multiple.

The final comparative group and the most relevant to Harbor is the minority-owned group. These four banks all are African-American owned and serve large urban areas like Harbor. In addition, they all have similarities in financial condition and performance. The median price times earnings for this group is 14.0.

The price times earnings multiples for the four comparables groups were 22.7X, 17.8X, 15.5X and 14.0X. The latter two multiples – for the urban most applicable and the minority-owned group – are the most comparable.

• Stock Transactions. There were few stock transactions in the first nine months of 2005. Each of these trades was at $25 per share. At this price based on September 30, 2005 financial data, the trades were for 10.4 times fully-diluted earnings and 112% of book. Danielson Associates determined that the number of shares traded was too small on which to base a valuation and did not consider them in the valuation. (See “ ” on page 32.

• Discounted Dividends Analysis. Danielson Associates applied present value calculations to Harbor’s estimated dividend stream under several specific growth and earnings scenarios. The projected dividend streams and terminal values, which were based on a range of earnings multiples, were then discounted to present value using discount rates based on assumptions regarding the rates of return required by holders or prospective buyers of Harbor common stock. In performing this analysis, Danielson Associates used the following assumptions: (a) growth rate of 6%; (b) ending price/earnings ratios of 12X and 14X; (c) tax rate of 36%; (d) discount rates of 10% and 12%; and (e) dividends in amounts so that capital over 6.50% is paid out as dividends. Based on this analysis, the value of the Harbor common stock would be between $24.54 and $33.72 per share.

• Other Factors. In addition to performing the analyses summarized above, Danielson Associates also considered other factors. These included the general trading levels for comparable banks, the past financial performance, their market positions and future prospects and general economic conditions.

Value Adjustments. In order to determine the “fair” price for shares of Harbor common stock, it was necessary to consider how it differs from the comparable banks and make the adjustments reflecting the differences. These adjustments considered such items as profitability, capital, growth momentum, market, deposit mix, asset mix and quality, management, liquidity of common stock as well as any unique circumstances. These valuation adjustments, other than the minority ownership discount which is based on the comparative pricing levels of the comparative groups, are not mathematically derived, but are based on a subjective analysis based on the experience of Danielson Associates and its review of market reactions to valuation issues over more than 20 years. In performing its analysis, Danielson believed that a discount of between 5% and 15% was appropriate to account for the illiquidity of the common stock, and an additional discount of 15% was appropriate to account for the other interrelated factors of market, growth, and minority ownership.

When all of the elements of possible adjustments to the value of Harbor are considered, it merits discounts based on market, stock liquidity, and minority ownership.

21

• Market. Harbor has continued to look for branches in growing areas within its market, but the majority of its branches and deposits are in Baltimore City, a declining market. This is particularly important in a valuation since part of the value of a banking organization is its growth opportunities and the likelihood that it will be acquired. Harbor’s market limits both its potential growth and is likely to deter most potential acquirers. Thus, market is a reason for a downward value adjustment in comparison to the urban most applicable group, which generally served better markets, but not the minority-owned group, which served similar large urban markets.

• Stock Liquidity. Harbor differs from most of the comparable banking organizations in the illiquidity of its stock. The comparable banks, generally, do not trade extensively, but they are listed on either a national exchange or trade over-the-counter. Harbor is not listed on any exchange, and its stock trades very sporadically.

• Minority Ownership. A significant characteristic of Harbor is its minority ownership, particularly its African-American ownership. This characteristic is reflected in the minority-owned group, but not in the urban most applicable group. This minority-ownership adversely affects the value of the stock by decreasing the likelihood Harbor will be sold, and thus its potential sale value. Investors do not consider minority banks likely to sell, and, thus, no acquisition premium is normally included in the value. The reason for this perception is that minority banks seldom are sold willingly because there is a stronger community commitment than for most non-minority urban banks and non-minority banks, which represent the bulk of possible buyers, have minimal interest in acquiring minority banks because of the poor economic dynamics of the urban markets they normally serve and the potential run-off of customers after a merger. In the view of Danielson Associates, a non-minority bank may buy a minority bank, but it is unlikely to pay a full premium for it.

Conclusion. In the opinion of Danielson Associates, the best guide as to the value of Harbor’s stock is the price times earnings multiples of other African-American banks having similar size and performance, and being located in similar urban markets, and that the value determined by the urban most applicable group – which is slightly lower – should also be considered, but only to determine that the value is to the lower half of the range determined by the minority-owned group.

Since no comparable banking organizations used in the various analyses are totally identical to Harbor, the results do not represent mathematical certainty. Instead the comparisons rely on the likelihood that the median stock prices of comparable banks are applicable to the stock value of Harbor.

Based on these comparisons, an analysis of Harbor’s past performance and future potential and by applying discounts for market, stock liquidity and its minority ownership, Danielson Associates arrived at its opinion that the “fair” value of its common stock as of December 8, 2005 is between $28.13 and $29.63 per share with the midpoint being $28.88 per share. In Danielson Associates’ opinion, any price in this range would be a “fair” price for purposes of the merger.

The summary set forth above is not a complete description of the analyses and procedures performed by Danielson Associates in the course of arriving at its opinion. The full text of the report of Danielson Associates dated December 8, 2005, which sets forth the assumptions made and matters considered, is available for inspection and copying at Harbor’s principal executive offices during regular business hours by any interested shareholder, or the representative of any shareholder designated in writing. Danielson Associates’ opinion is directed only to the “fairness” of the value of Harbor common stock and does not constitute a recommendation to any Harbor shareholder as to how such shareholder should vote.

Compensation of Danielson Associates. Pursuant to an agreement, Danielson Associates was paid a fee of $8,000, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expense not to exceed $250.

Price Adjustment since Opinion Date

At its meeting of December 14, 2005, the Board originally established a price of $29.00 per share for shares to be purchased in the merger in consideration of the opinion of Danielson Associates and other factors. At its meeting of April 19, 2006, the Board reviewed the price to be paid to shareholders whose shares will be purchased in the merger based upon factors it previously had considered and upon the performance of Harbor since the opinion of Danielson Associates was rendered and the original price was determined. The Board believes that the time and cost of obtaining an update of the Danielson Associates fairness opinion was not necessary. The Board of Directors believes the Danielson Report’s analysis and conclusions are correct as of their date, and plans to continue to rely upon them, subject to the adjustment in price based upon performance since that date. The Board of Directors does not expect that any additional price adjustments will be necessary.

22

In its review the Board considered the significant growth in net income and the resulting effect on book value since September 30, 2006. As a result of that review, the Board unanimously increased the price to be paid per share in the merger to $31.00 per share from the original $29.00 per share. This increase was consistent with the analytical method described above under “Earnings Derived Valuation” using book value, which the Board considered to be more representative of value than earnings for the twelve months ending March 31, 2006. Net income for that twelve month period increased by 45% over the twelve month period ending March 31, 2005, primarily due to two quarters that occurred after the fairness opinion date—the fourth quarter of 2005 (up 165% over the same period of 2004) and the first quarter of 2006 (up 52% over the same period in 2005), and was up 33% over the twelve month period ending September 30, 2005, which was used for the Danielson Associates fairness opinion. The adjusted $31.00 per share cash out price is 125% of per share book value at March 31, 2006. The original $29.00 valuation was 121% of book value per share at September 30, 2006. The total increase in consideration to be paid to shareholders who are cashed out in the merger by reason of this change is expected to be approximately $25,000, an increase of approximately 7%, or fifteen one-hundredths of one percent of total stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2006, and will have no discernable effect on Harbor’s operations or condition.

Effects of the Merger

The merger will have various effects on Harbor, as described below.

Reduction in the Number of Shareholders. We believe that the merger will reduce the number of record shareholders from approximately 626 to approximately 266, and the number of outstanding shares of voting common stock from 641,784 as of the record date, to approximately 629,306 after the merger. The merger will have no effect on the number of shares nonvoting common stock (33,795).

Decrease in Book Value. Assuming: the price to be paid to holders of 100 or fewer shares of common stock will be $31.00 per share, (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock expected to be cashed-out as a result of the merger is 12,478, (iii) the total cost to Harbor (including expenses) of effecting the merger is expected to be approximately $442,000, and (iv) at March 31, 2006, aggregate shareholders’ equity in Harbor was approximately $16.8 million, or $24.82 per share. Based upon these facts and assumptions, Harbor expects that, as a result of the merger:

Aggregate shareholders’ equity of Harbor as of March 31, 2006, will be reduced from approximately $16.8 million on a historical basis to approximately $16.3 million on a pro forma basis; and

The book value per share of common stock as of March 31, 2006, will be reduced from $24.82 per share on a historical basis to $24.62 per share on a pro forma basis.

Decrease in Capital. The merger will reduce Harbor’s capital. However, Harbor expects that its regulatory capital ratios will continue to exceed the levels required for “well capitalized” banking organizations. Harbor’s tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio will decrease from 8.65% on a historical basis to approximately 8.43% on a pro forma basis. Harbor’s tier 1 to average assets ratio will decrease from 7.20% on a historical basis to approximately 7.12% on a pro forma basis, and its total risk-based capital ratio will decrease from 11.17% on a historical basis to approximately 10.98% on a pro forma basis. All regulatory capital ratios have been calculated assuming that 12,478 shares are cashed-out in the merger.

Suspension of Exchange Act Reporting Obligations. Once our common stock is no longer held by 300 or more shareholders of record, we will suspend filing reports required by the Exchange Act. Suspension of our reporting obligations under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will substantially reduce the information we are required to furnish to our shareholders and to the SEC. It would also make certain provisions of the Exchange Act, such as proxy statement disclosure in connection with shareholder meetings and the related requirement of an annual report to shareholders, no longer applicable to Harbor. Accordingly, we estimate it will eliminate costs and expenses associated with continuance of the Exchange Act registration, estimated at approximately $87,600 per year. In addition, Harbor will avoid the costs of initial compliance with the internal control systems requirements of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, currently expected to be required for public companies of Harbor’s size by year-end 2007, which are estimated to range from $150,000 to $200,000, and continued annual compliance costs related to those requirements in amounts not determined. We intend to apply for such suspension of registration as soon as practicable following completion of the merger.

23

Effect on Market for Shares. Harbor common stock is not currently traded on any exchange. Following the merger, Harbor’s common stock will not be listed or quoted on any exchange following the merger, and the number of trading markets where the shares could be traded by market makers will be limited.. Because we will no longer be required to file reports under the Exchange Act, the market for shares of Harbor common stock may be adversely affected. Currently, there is minimal liquidity in our shares of common stock and there may be a further reduction in the liquidity of our common stock after the merger.

Effect on Dividends. The principal source of our cash revenues comes from dividends received from the Bank. The amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank to us depends on the Bank’s earnings and capital position and is limited by federal and state law, regulations, and policies. In addition to the availability of funds from the Bank, our future dividend policy is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including future earnings, financial condition, cash needs, and general business conditions. If dividends should be declared in the future, the amount of such dividends cannot be estimated and it cannot be known whether such dividends would continue for future periods.

We anticipate that the merger will not have a material effect on our dividend policy, and we intend to continue paying an annual cash dividend; however, any future declaration and payment of dividends will depend upon, among other factors, our results of operations and financial condition, future prospects, regulatory limitations and capital requirements, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.

Furthermore, in 2003 in connection with the private placement of trust preferred securities, we formed Harbor Bankshares Corporation Capital Trust (the “Trust”) as a subsidiary and issued $7.2 million of floating rate junior subordinated debentures to the Trust. The floating rate junior subordinated debentures pay interest quarterly, and as a result, we may be required to reduce the amount of, or stop paying, dividends on Harbor common stock in order to make such payments of interest and repayment of principal. See “— Financial Effects of the Merger; Financing of the Merger,” below.

Financial Effects of the Merger; Financing of the Merger. We expect that the purchase of the cashed-out shares in the merger will cost no more than approximately $387,000 which does not include approximately $58,000 in professional fees and other expenses we anticipate incurring in the course of the transaction. In addition, we do not expect that the completion of the merger will have any material adverse effect on our capital adequacy, liquidity, results of operations, or cash flow. Because we currently do not know the actual number of shares that will be cashed-out in the merger, we do not know the exact amount of cash we will pay to shareholders in the merger. However, our obligation to consummate the merger under the merger agreement is conditioned on the aggregate number of shares of Harbor common stock owned by shareholders who are to be cashed-out or who have properly perfected their rights as objecting shareholders not exceeding 1.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of Harbor common stock. It is anticipated, however, that, if necessary, we will waive the condition to closing that limits the amount of shareholders being cashed out to 1% of our shares and, therefore, that all shareholders who own 100 or fewer shares will be cashed out. You should read the discussion under “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Completion of the Merger” on page 33 for a description of conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the merger and “Special Factors—Fees and Expenses” on page 23 for a description of the fees and expenses that we expect to incur in connection with the merger. Funds for the acquisition of shares are expected to be obtained by means of a dividend from the Bank, the funds for which would be obtained from the Bank’s general working capital. As of March 31, 2006, the Bank could pay in excess of $9 million in dividends to Harbor without regulatory approval, and, accordingly, no alternative financial arrangements have been made.

Ownership Percentage of Officers and Directors. As a result of the merger, we expect that (a) the percentage ownership of all shares of outstanding common stock of Harbor held by current executive officers and Directors of Harbor and the Bank as a group (16 persons) will increase by less than 1%, from 28.6% to approximately 29.1% (excluding the effect of options); (b) the percentage ownership of all shares of outstanding voting common stock of Harbor held by current executive officers and Directors of Harbor and the Bank as a group will increase less than 1%, from 30.1% to 30.7%; (c) the percentage of beneficial ownership of voting common stock (including shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are or will become exercisable within 60 days of __________, 2006) held by current executive officers will increase by less than 1%, from 40.9% to 41.6%; (c) the collective book value as of March 31, 2006, of the shares of Harbor common stock held by our current officers and Directors, as a group, will decrease from approximately $4.79 million on a historical basis to approximately $4.75 million on a pro forma basis; and (d) the collective pro rata interest of our current officers and Directors, as a group, in the net income of Harbor for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, will increase from $175,000 on a historical basis (based on the number of shares beneficially owned by such officers and Directors as of the record date) to approximately $178,000 on a pro forma basis (based on the number of shares we anticipate such officers and Directors to own beneficially immediately after the merger). For a description of the assumptions used in determining the numbers of shares and related percentages that we expect to be held by executive officers and Directors immediately following the merger, please see footnotes under “THE PARTIES—Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management“ on page 33.

24

The Board of Directors of Harbor was aware of these interests and considered them in approving the merger agreement. See “SPECIAL FACTORS—Background of the Merger“ on page 12.

No Further Reporting Obligations under the Exchange Act. After the merger and the resulting suspension of our reporting obligations under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, we no longer will file Forms 10-QSB, 10-KSB or 8-K, or any other reports with the SEC.

Effects of the Merger on Shareholders

General. The merger will affect Harbor shareholders as described below (Shareholders who elect to exercise rights as objecting shareholder should refer to “APPRAISAL RIGHTS OF HARBOR SHAREHOLDERS“ on page 30.

Shareholders with 100 or fewer shares of Harbor common stock. If you are a shareholder who holds 100 or fewer shares of Harbor common stock before the merger:

• You will receive $31.00 in cash, without interest, for each share you own at the effective time of the merger.

• You will not have to pay any brokerage commissions or other service charges in connection with the merger.

• All amounts owed to you will be subject to applicable federal, state, and local income taxes.

• You will have no further interest in Harbor with respect to your cashed-out shares. Your only right will be to receive cash for those shares.

• You will receive a letter of transmittal from Harbor as soon as practicable after the merger with instructions on how to surrender your existing certificate(s) in exchange for your cash payment.

If you want to continue to remain a shareholder of Harbor after the merger, you may do so by purchasing a sufficient number of shares of Harbor common stock from other shareholders prior to the effective time of the merger so that you hold more than 100 shares at the effective time of the merger. As described in the section “THE MERGER AGREEMENT—Conversion of Shares in the Merger“ on page 34, there are specific provisions regarding the treatment of shares held in nominee form, or “street name.”

The merger will have the same effect on shareholders regardless of whether they are affiliated or unaffiliated shareholders. As used in this proxy statement, the term “affiliated shareholder” means any shareholder who is a Director or executive officer of Harbor, and the term “unaffiliated shareholder” means any holder of Harbor common stock who is not an affiliate of Harbor. The effects of the merger on a shareholder will vary depending on whether all of the shareholder’s shares will be cashed-out in the merger. The determination of whether or not any particular shares of Harbor common stock will be cashed-out in the merger will be based on whether the holder of those shares holds either 100 or fewer shares or more than 100 shares. Since a shareholder may beneficially own shares held by more than one holder of shares, a shareholder may beneficially own both shares that will be cashed-out in the merger and shares that will remain outstanding in the merger.

Cashed-Out Shareholders. Shareholders owning 100 or fewer shares immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will, upon consummation of the merger:

25

• Receive $31.00 in cash, without interest, per share;

• No longer have any equity interest in Harbor and therefore will not participate in its future potential earnings or growth, if any, as a shareholder; and

• Be required to pay federal and, if applicable, state and local income taxes on the cash amount received in the merger. See “SPECIAL FACTORS—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” on page 28.

Remaining Shareholders. The effects of the merger on shareholders owning more than 100 shares immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will upon consummation of the merger include:

• Continued Ownership of Shares. Shareholders who own more than 100 shares immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will continue to be shareholders of Harbor and will own the same number of shares after the merger as they owned immediately before the merger.

• Ownership Percentage. Remaining shareholders will have an increased ownership percentage in Harbor as a result of the merger. However, fewer than 2% of the Harbor’s outstanding shares of voting common stock will be exchanged for cash in the merger. Accordingly, the percentage changes in the ownership of the remaining affiliated and unaffiliated shareholders will be immaterial. The aggregate beneficial ownership of affiliated shareholders will not increase by a material amount and, after the merger, unaffiliated shareholders will continue to own more shares that affiliates. The aggregate beneficial ownership of voting common stock by affiliated shareholders, including the effect of unexercised stock options, will increase by less than 1%, from 40.91% to 41.59%, as result of the merger, while the aggregate beneficial of voting common stock owned by unaffiliated shareholders will decrease by less than 1%, from 59.09 % to 58.41%, calculated on the same basis. Accordingly, there will be no material change in the ownership of Harbor’s shareholders who are not cashed out in the merger.

• Decreased Access to Information. If the merger is effected, we intend to suspend our reporting obligations to the SEC under the Exchange Act. As a result, we will no longer be subject to the periodic reporting requirements and the proxy rules of the Exchange Act.

• Decreased Liquidity. The liquidity of the shares of our common stock held by remaining shareholders may be further reduced by the merger due to the suspension of our filing requirements under the Exchange Act.

• Reduced Capital. Harbor’s regulatory capital ratios will be reduced. Harbor’s tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio will decrease from 8.65% on a historical basis to approximately 8.43% on a pro forma basis. Harbor’s tier 1 to average assets ratio will decrease from 7.20% on a historical basis to approximately 7.12% on a pro forma basis, and its total risk-based capital ratio will decrease from 11.17% on a historical basis to approximately 10.98% on a pro forma basis. All regulatory capital ratios have been calculated assuming that 12,478 shares are cashed-out in the merger. It is anticipated that Harbor and the Bank will continue to meet the tests for “well capitalized” status for regulatory capital purposes.

• Reduced Book Value Per Share. The book value per share of Harbor common stock as of March 31, 2006, will be reduced from $24.82 per share on a historical basis to approximately $24.62 per share on a pro forma basis.

Interests of Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger

The Board of Directors believes that it has acted in the best interests of Harbor and its shareholders. However, as you consider the recommendation of the Board of Directors, you should be aware that the Directors and officers of Harbor have interests in addition to their interests as shareholders of Harbor that may conflict with the interests of shareholders who will be cashed out in the merger or unaffiliated shareholders who will not be cashed out in the merger.

26

As a result of the merger, we expect that (a) the percentage ownership of all shares of outstanding common stock of Harbor held by current executive officers and Directors of Harbor and the Bank as a group (16 persons) will increase by less than 1%, from 28.6% to approximately 29.1% (excluding the effect of options); (b) the percentage ownership of all shares of outstanding voting common stock of Harbor held by current executive officers and Directors of Harbor and the Bank as a group will increase less than 1%, from 30.1% to 30.7%; (c) the percentage of beneficial ownership of voting common stock (including shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options that are or will become exercisable within 60 days of __________, 2006) held by current executive officers will increase by less than 1%, from 40.9% to 41.6%; (c) the collective book value as of March 31, 2006, of the shares of Harbor common stock held by our current officers and Directors, as a group, will decrease from approximately $4.79 million on a historical basis to approximately $4.75 million on a pro forma basis; and (d) the collective pro rata interest of our current officers and Directors, as a group, in the net income of Harbor for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, will increase from $175,000 on a historical basis (based on the number of shares beneficially owned by such officers and Directors as of the record date) to approximately $178,000 on a pro forma basis (based on the number of shares we anticipate such officers and Directors to own beneficially immediately after the merger). For a description of the assumptions used in determining the numbers of shares and related percentages that we expect to be held by executive officers and Directors immediately following the merger, please see footnotes under “THE PARTIES—Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” on page 33.

The Board of Directors of Harbor was aware of these interests and considered them in approving the merger agreement. See “Special Factors—Background of the Merger” on page 12.

Conduct of Harbor’s Business after the Merger

Harbor will complete the deregistration process by filing a Form 15 with the SEC promptly following the merger. Harbor’s filing obligations under the Exchange Act will be immediately suspended upon the filing of the Form 15. These filing obligations would resume if the Form 15 were withdrawn by Harbor or denied by the Securities and Exchange Commission, if Harbor registers shares under the Securities Act of 1933, or if the number of Harbor’s record holders subsequently exceeds 500. Harbor has no plans to withdraw the Form 15, to register securities under the Securities Act, or to increase its number of record holders to more than 500.

Following the merger and deregistration, Harbor and its subsidiaries, including the Bank, will continue to conduct their existing operations in the same manner as now conducted. The executive officers and Directors immediately prior to the merger will be the executive officers and Directors of Harbor after the merger. The articles of incorporation and bylaws of Harbor will remain in effect and unchanged by the merger. The deposits of the Bank will continue to be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Harbor and the Bank will continue to be regulated by the federal and state bank regulatory agencies as before the merger.

Harbor believes that there are significant advantages in becoming a private company, including the substantial savings in costs and management time described above, and Harbor plans to avail itself of any other opportunities it may have as a private company, including, but not limited to, making any public or private offering of its shares, expansion by creation of new offices or by acquisition, or entering into any other arrangement or transaction as it may deem appropriate. Although management does not now have an intent to enter into any such transaction nor is management currently in negotiations with respect to any such transaction, there exists the possibility that Harbor may enter into such an arrangement or transaction in the future, and the remaining shareholders of Harbor may receive payment for their shares in any such transaction at amounts lower than, equal to, or in excess of the amount paid to cashed-out shareholders in the merger. Any future decision to publicly offer shares or take any other action that would result in Harbor’s again being subject to the reporting obligations of the Exchange Act would be made only after consideration of the related disadvantages and costs of re-registration versus the advantages of such action. The Board of Directors does not anticipate that Harbor will take any such action in the foreseeable future, and intends that Harbor will remain deregistered after the filing of the Form 15.

Other than as described in this proxy statement, neither Harbor nor its management has any current plans or proposals to effect any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization, or liquidation; to sell or transfer any material amount of its assets; to change its Board of Directors or management; to change materially its indebtedness or capitalization; or otherwise to effect any material change in its corporate structure or business.

Fees and Expenses

Harbor estimates that merger related fees and expenses, consisting primarily of financial advisory fees, SEC filing fees, fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants and other related charges, will total approximately $55,350, assuming the merger is completed. This amount consists of the following estimated fees:

27

Description	Amount
Advisory fees and expenses	$	8,250
Legal fees and expenses		32,000
Accounting fees and expenses		7,500
SEC filing fee		75
Printing, solicitation and mailing costs		7,500
Total	$	55,325

Accounting Treatment

Harbor anticipates that it will account for the purchase of outstanding Harbor common stock in the merger from shareholders as a purchase and retirement of stock.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to the shareholders of Harbor with respect to the merger. The discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code, its legislative history, applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, existing administrative interpretations, and court decisions currently in effect. Any of these authorities could be repealed, overruled, or modified at any time after the date of this proxy statement, and any such change could be applied retroactively. This discussion does not address any alternative minimum tax consequences or the tax consequences under state, local, or foreign laws.

The discussion that follows neither binds nor precludes the Internal Revenue Service from adopting a position contrary to that expressed in this document, and we cannot assure you that such a contrary position could not be asserted successfully by the Internal Revenue Service or adopted by a court if the positions were litigated. Harbor has not obtained a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or a written opinion from tax counsel with respect to the United States federal income tax consequences discussed below.

This discussion assumes that you hold your shares of Harbor common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code. This discussion is only for general information and does not address all aspects of federal income taxation that may be important to you in light of your particular circumstances or if you are subject to certain rules, such as those rules relating to shareholders who are not citizens or residents of the United States, financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations and entities (including IRAs), insurance companies, dealers in securities, shareholders, who hold options to acquire shares of our common stock, and shareholders who acquired their shares of common stock through the exercise of employee stock options or similar derivative securities or otherwise as compensation.

Federal income tax consequences to shareholders who do not receive cash in the merger. If you (a) continue to hold shares of Harbor common stock immediately after the merger, and (b) you receive no cash as a result of the merger, then you will not recognize any gain or loss in the merger and you will have the same adjusted tax basis and holding period in your shares of Harbor common stock as you had in such stock immediately prior to the merger.

Federal income tax consequences to shareholders who receive cash in the merger. An exchange of your shares of Harbor common stock for cash pursuant to the merger will be a taxable transaction. If you receive cash in exchange for your Harbor common stock as a result of the merger, the cash you received will be treated as a redemption of your shares of Harbor common stock exchanged therefor under Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code, a shareholder who exchanges his or her shares of Harbor common stock for cash will be treated as having sold his or her shares of Harbor common stock if the exchange meets one of the following three tests:

• The exchange results in a “complete termination” of his or her equity interest in Harbor;

• The exchange is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the shareholder; or

• The cash received is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the shareholder.

• For purposes of these tests, in addition to the shares of Harbor common stock you actually own, you may be deemed to own constructively certain shares of Harbor common stock under the constructive ownership rules of Section 318 of the Internal Revenue Code. Generally, the constructive ownership rules under Section 318 of the Internal Revenue Code treat a shareholder as owning:

28

(a)	Shares of stock owned by certain relatives, related corporations, partnerships, estates or trusts, and
(b)	Shares of stock the shareholder has an option to acquire.

Because the constructive ownership rules are complex, each shareholder should consult his or her own tax advisor as to the applicability of these rules.

Cashed-out shareholders who do not actually or constructively own any shares of Harbor common stock after the merger. In general, if you receive cash in exchange for your shares of Harbor common stock as a result of the merger but do not actually or constructively own any shares of Harbor common stock immediately after the merger, you will be treated as having sold your shares of Harbor common stock for the cash received. You will recognize gain or loss on the exchange in an amount equal to the difference between the cash you receive for your cashed-out shares of Harbor common stock and your aggregate adjusted tax basis in such stock. Your gain will be a capital gain provided you held your shares of Harbor common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code as of the effective time change effective time of the merger.

Shareholders receiving cash who actually or constructively continue to own any shares of Harbor common stock after the merger. If you receive cash in exchange for your shares of Harbor common stock as a result of the merger and are treated as directly or constructively owning shares of Harbor common stock immediately after the merger, then you will be treated as having sold your shares of Harbor common stock for the cash received only if you meet one of the three tests mentioned above and described below.

You will satisfy the “complete termination” test if you receive cash in exchange for your shares of Harbor common stock pursuant to the merger and you completely terminate your direct and constructive ownership interest in Harbor. If you would otherwise satisfy the complete termination requirement but for your constructive ownership of shares of Harbor common stock held by family members, you may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to disregard such constructive ownership. You should check with your own tax advisor as to whether you would be entitled to disregard such constructive ownership and the required filings with the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to such a decision.

You will satisfy the “substantially disproportionate” test if immediately after the merger you actually and constructively own less than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Harbor stock entitled to vote and your percentage interest in Harbor (i.e., the number of voting shares actually and constructively owned by you divided by the number of voting shares outstanding) is less than 80% of your percentage interest in Harbor immediately prior to the merger.

You will satisfy the “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” test if the reduction in your percentage interest in Harbor, as described above, constitutes a “meaningful reduction of your proportionate interest” given your particular facts and circumstances. The Internal Revenue Service has indicated in published rulings that a minority shareholder whose relative stock interest is minimal (i.e., less than 1%) and who exercises no control with respect to corporate affairs is considered to have a “meaningful reduction” generally if the shareholder has some reduction in the shareholder’s stock ownership percentage.

If you satisfy one of these three tests, you will be treated as having sold your shares of Harbor common stock for the cash exchanged therefor and will recognize gain or loss on the exchange in an amount equal to the difference between the cash you receive for your cashed-out shares of Harbor common stock and your aggregate adjusted tax basis in such stock. Your gain will be a capital gain provided you held your shares of Harbor common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code as of the effective time of the merger.

If you do not satisfy one of these three tests, you will be treated as having received a dividend to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, which we anticipate will be sufficient to cover the amount of any such dividend and will be includible in your gross income as ordinary income in its entirety, without reduction for the adjusted tax basis of your shares of Harbor common stock exchanged for cash. No loss will be recognized. If the exchange is treated as a dividend, your adjusted tax basis in your shares of Harbor common stock exchanged for cash generally will be added to your tax basis in your remaining shares of Harbor common stock. To the extent that cash received in exchange for your shares of Harbor common stock is treated as a dividend to a corporate shareholder, the corporate shareholder will be: (i) eligible for a dividends-received deduction (subject to applicable limitations); and (ii) subject to the “extraordinary dividend” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent, if any, the cash received by you exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of your adjusted tax basis in the shares surrendered and thereafter as a capital gain.

29

Capital gain and loss. For individuals, net capital gain (defined generally as your total capital gains in excess of capital losses for the year) recognized upon the sale of capital assets that have been held for more than 12 months generally are subject to tax at a rate not to exceed 15%. Net capital gain recognized from the sale of capital assets that have been held for 12 months or less will continue to be subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates. In addition, capital gain recognized by a corporate taxpayer will continue to be subject to tax at the ordinary income tax rates applicable to corporations. There are limitations on the deductibility of capital losses.

Backup withholding. If you receive cash in the merger, you will be required to provide your social security or other taxpayer identification numbers (or, in some instances, additional information) in connection with the merger to avoid backup withholding requirements that might otherwise apply. The letter of transmittal will require you to deliver such information when your shares of Harbor common stock certificates are surrendered following the effective time of the merger. Failure to provide such information may result in backup withholding.

As explained above, the amounts paid to you as a result of the merger may result in dividend income, capital gain income, or some combination of dividend and capital gain income to you depending on your individual circumstances. The U.S. federal income tax discussion set forth above is based upon current law, which is subject to change possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax advisor as to the particular federal, state, local, foreign, and other tax consequences of the transaction that are applicable to you in light of your specific circumstances.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS OF HARBOR SHAREHOLDERS

Any shareholder of Harbor who does not vote in favor of the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and who has given prior written notice to Harbor of his or her objection to the proposed transaction and who otherwise complies with the procedures set forth in Title 3, Subtitle 2 of the MGCL, will be entitled to receive payment in cash of the fair value of his or her shares of Harbor common stock instead of receiving the merger consideration. A copy of Title 3, Subtitle 2 of the MGCL is included as Appendix C to this proxy statement.

If you want to demand payment of the fair value of your shares of Harbor common stock, you must fully comply with the procedures set out in the MGCL. The required procedures are summarized below. The following summary is not intended to be a compete statement of all aspects of the procedures set forth in the MGCL, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the statute included in Appendix C. If you intend to exercise your rights as an objecting shareholder, you should be aware that cash paid to you will likely result in receipt of taxable income. (See “—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”).

Only holders of record of shares of Harbor common stock can object to the merger and demand to receive the fair value of the shares in cash. If your shares are not registered in your name, your record holder must follow the procedures to perfect your right to object to the merger and receive cash for the fair value of your shares.

•	First, you must submit a written notice to Harbor at or prior to the meeting, stating that you object to the proposed merger. You should send your notice to:
	Harbor Bankshares Corporation 25 West Fayette Street Baltimore, MD 21201
	Attention: Teodoro J. Hernandez Vice President and Treasurer
•	You must then not vote your shares in favor of the merger. This means that you should either (a) not return a proxy card and not vote in person in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement, (b) return a proxy card with the “Against” or “Abstain” box checked; (c) vote in person against the approval of the merger agreement; or (d) register in person an abstention from the proposal to approve the merger agreement. Merely voting against the merger or abstaining from or not voting in favor of the merger will not constitute notice of objection or dissent, and will not entitle you to payment in cash of the fair value of your shares.

30

• Promptly after the effectiveness of the merger, Harbor will write to objecting shareholders of Harbor, notifying them of the date on which the articles of merger were accepted for record. This notice will be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address you provide in your notice, or if no address is indicated, to the address which appears on Harbor’s shareholder records.

• Within twenty (20) days of the date on which the articles of merger were accepted for record, an objecting shareholder must make a written demand for payment of the fair value of his or her stock, stating the number and class of shares for which payment is demanded. The written demand for payment should be sent to:

Harbor Bankshares Corporation

25 West Fayette Street

Baltimore, MD 21201

Attention: Teodoro J. Hernandez

Vice President and Treasurer

Harbor’s notice of the date on which the articles of merger were accepted may contain an offer of payment of the amount which Harbor believes is the fair value of the Harbor common stock, and certain financial disclosures. If you have followed all of the procedural steps required to demand payment of fair value and have not received payment for your shares, you may, or Harbor may, within fifty (50) days of the acceptance of the articles of merger, petition the court for an appraisal of the fair value of your shares of Harbor common stock as of the date of the Harbor shareholder meeting, without including any appreciation or depreciation resulting directly or indirectly from the merger or its proposal.

Any shareholder who files a notice of objection, but fails to file a written demand for the payment of fair value in a timely manner will be bound by the shareholder vote and will not be entitled to receive payment in cash as a holder of objecting shares.

If you demand payment for your stock as an objecting shareholder, you have no right to receive any dividends or other distributions on such shares, or the cash consideration into which such shares would be converted, after close of business on the date of the Harbor shareholder meeting at which the merger is approved, and have no other rights, including voting rights, with respect to such shares, except the payment of fair value.

If you demand payment for your shares, your rights as a shareholder will be restored if the demand for payment is withdrawn, a petition of appraisal is not filed within the time required, a court determines that you are not entitled to relief, or the merger is abandoned or rescinded. A demand for payment may be withdrawn only with the consent of Harbor.

If the court finds that a shareholder is entitled to an appraisal of his or her stock, the court will appoint three disinterested appraisers to determine the fair value of the stock on the terms and conditions the court considers proper. Within sixty (60) days after appointment, or such longer period as the court may direct, the appraisers must file with the court and mail to each shareholder who is a party to the proceeding their report stating their conclusion as to the fair value of the stock. Within fifteen (15) days after the filing of the report, any party may object to the report and request a rehearing. The court, upon motion of any party, will enter an order either confirming, modifying, or rejecting the report and, if confirmed or modified, enter judgment directing the time within which payment must be made.

If the report is rejected, the court may determine the fair value or remit the proceeding to the same or other appraisers. Any judgment entered pursuant to a court proceeding will include interest from the date of the shareholders’ vote at the meeting, unless the court finds that the shareholder’s refusal to accept a written offer to purchase the shares was arbitrary and vexatious or not in good faith.

The costs of the appraisal proceedings, including compensation and expenses of the appraisers, will be the responsibility of Harbor, except that all or any part of such expenses may be apportioned and assessed against any or all of the objecting shareholders to whom an offer to pay for such shareholder’s shares has been made, if the court finds the failure to accept such offer was arbitrary, vexatious, or not in good faith. Costs of the proceedings may not include fees and expenses of counsel. Costs of the proceedings may include fees and expenses of experts only if Harbor did not make an offer of payment for your stock or if the value of the stock as determined in the appraisal proceeding materially exceeds the amount offered by Harbor.

31

The preceding is a summary of the material aspects of Title 3, Subtitle 2 of the MGCL, and is qualified by reference to the text of the statute. The full text of Title 3, Subtitle 2, which we urge you to read in its entirety, is included as Appendix C to this proxy statement.

GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

In connection with the merger, Harbor will be required to make a number of filings with and obtain a number of approvals from various federal and state governmental agencies, including:

• Filing of articles of merger with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation in accordance with the MGCL after the approval of the merger agreement by Harbor’s shareholders; and

THE PARTIES

Harbor Bankshares Corporation

Harbor Bankshares Corporation (the Corporation) is a bank holding company with one bank subsidiary and two other Community Development financial subsidiaries, one for profit, The Harbor Bank of Baltimore LLC and a non-profit, The Harbor Bank CDC. Both were established during 2002. The Corporation had no investment in either subsidiary as of __________, 2006. The Corporation was organized under the laws of the State of Maryland in 1992. On November 2, 1992, Harbor Bankshares Corporation acquired all outstanding stock of The Harbor Bank of Maryland (the Bank), headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland.

The Harbor Bank of Maryland

The Harbor Bank of Maryland is a Maryland chartered commercial bank headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. The Bank was opened on September 13, 1982. The deposits of the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The Bank conducts general banking business in seven (7) locations and serves primarily the Baltimore Metropolitan area. It offers checking, savings, and time deposits, commercial, real estate, personal, home improvement, automobile and other installment loans, credit cards and term loans. The Bank is also a member of a local and national ATM network. The retail nature of the Bank allows for full diversification of deposits and borrowers so it is not dependent upon a single or a few customers.

Harbor Financial Services, a company dealing with the sale of mutual funds, stocks, insurance, etc., was established as a subsidiary of the Bank during May 1997 in order to compete with that expanding market.

Harbor Merger Corporation

Harbor Merger Corporation, or the merger subsidiary, is a recently-formed Maryland corporation. It was organized as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harbor for the sole purpose of facilitating the merger. It has engaged in no business activities and has no assets or liabilities of any kind, other than those incident to its formation. The merger subsidiary does not own any shares of Harbor common stock, nor will it acquire any such shares before the merger. Its existence will cease upon consummation of the merger. The address and telephone number of principal offices of the merger subsidiary are the same as Harbor’s.

Prior Stock Purchases

During the years 2005 and though __________, 2006, Harbor has repurchased a total of 42,000 shares beneficially owned by Director Stanley W. Tucker, including the 10,000 shares noted above in “Recent Transactions,” all at a per share price of $25.00.

Since December 31, 2002, no Filing Persons have purchased any other shares other than upon exercise of stock options under the Harbor stock option plans. Directors and officers have agreed not to purchase any additional shares of voting common stock prior to approval of the merger.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

Following is a summary of the material terms of the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement. Because this is a summary, it does not include all of the information that may be important to you. You should read the entire merger agreement and this proxy statement and related appendices before deciding how to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Structure of the Merger

The merger subsidiary will be merged with and into Harbor, which will be the surviving corporation. The merger will occur following the approval of the merger agreement by the shareholders of Harbor and the satisfaction of other conditions to the merger.

Conversion of Shares in the Merger

The merger agreement provides that, at the effective time of the merger:

• Subject to the following, all outstanding shares of Harbor common stock held of record by a holder holding 100 or fewer shares of Harbor common stock immediately prior to the effective time will, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive to $31.00 per share, without interest (the “merger consideration”). Harbor may presume that all street shares are held by holders holding 100 or fewer shares immediately prior to the effective time unless a beneficial owner of street shares is able to demonstrate to Harbor’s satisfaction that such shares are held beneficially by a holder holding more than 100 shares immediately prior to the merger date. In that case, such shares will remain outstanding with all rights, privileges, and powers existing immediately before the merger;

• All outstanding shares of Harbor common stock other than those described above as being converted into the right to receive the merger consideration or shares for which rights objecting shareholders are perfected will remain outstanding with all rights, privileges, and powers existing immediately before the merger; and

• The outstanding shares of merger subsidiary will, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be canceled.

The merger agreement further provides that:

• No holder holding, of record or beneficially, immediately prior to the merger more than 100 shares (including any combination of record shares or street shares) in the aggregate will be entitled to receive any merger consideration with respect to the shares so held other than by exercising his or her dissenter’s rights; and

• It is a condition precedent to the right of any holder to receive the merger consideration, if any, payable with respect to the shares held by such holder that such holder certify to Harbor in the letter of transmittal delivered by Harbor as described below that such holder held, of record and beneficially, immediately prior to the merger 100 or fewer shares (including any combination of record shares and street shares) in the aggregate.

34

In general, calculations of shares held of record shall be made in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 12g5-1, and accordingly:

• The number of shares held of record will be calculated by adding all shares registered in the same manner;

• Shares held in street name beneficially owned by a shareholder will not be aggregated with shares registered in such shareholder’s own name, and

• Shares owned by related persons or in different capacities will not be aggregated.

Harbor may in its sole discretion, but shall not have any obligation to (a) presume that any shares of Common Stock held in a discrete account (whether record or beneficial) are held by a person distinct from any other person, notwithstanding that the registered or beneficial holder of a separate discrete account has the same or a similar name as the holder of a separate discrete account; and (b) aggregate the shares of Common Stock held (whether of record or beneficially) by any person or persons that Harbor determines to constitute a single shareholder for purposes of determining the number of shares of Common Stock held by such shareholder.

Harbor will presume that all shares held in street name are held by shareholders holding more than 100 shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time unless Harbor determines, or a beneficial owner of shares held in street name is able to demonstrate to Harbor’s satisfaction, that such shares are held beneficially by a shareholder holding 100 or fewer shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, in which case such shares will be deemed to be Cash-Out shares.

Harbor (and any other person or entity to which it may delegate or assign any responsibility or task with respect thereto) shall make all decisions regarding the application of this section in good faith and in accordance with the principles of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 12g5-1 and the rules and presumptions stated above. Harbor shall have full discretion and exclusive authority to (i) make such inquiries, whether of any shareholder(s) or otherwise, as it may deem appropriate and (ii) resolve and determine all ambiguities, questions of fact, and interpretive and other matters relating to this Section. All such determinations by Harbor shall be final.

Treatment of Options

The merger agreement provides that at the effective time each option to acquire shares of Harbor common stock which is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior thereto pursuant to the Harbor Stock Option Plan, shall remain outstanding.

Exchange of Certificates

The merger agreement provides that promptly after the merger, Harbor will mail a letter of transmittal to each shareholder, who based on information available to Harbor, appears to have their shares converted into the right to receive the merger consideration (other than shares as to which objecting shareholder rights have been perfected). The letter of transmittal will contain a certification as to the number of shares held and such other matters as Harbor may determine and will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates representing shares of Harbor common stock (“Certificates”) will pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to Harbor and instructions to effect the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the merger consideration, if any, payable with respect to such Certificates.

Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to Harbor, together with a letter of transmittal, duly completed and executed and containing the certification that the holder of the Certificate holds 100 or fewer shares, and such other customary documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate will, subject to the above provisions of the merger agreement, be entitled to receive the merger consideration. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares which is not registered in the share transfer records of Harbor, the merger consideration, if any, payable in respect of such shares may be paid or issued to the transferee if the Certificate representing such shares is presented to Harbor, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.

35

You should not send your stock certificates now. You should send them only after you receive a letter of transmittal from Harbor. Letters of transmittal and related instructions will be mailed soon after the merger is completed.

Effective Time of the Merger

If the merger agreement is approved by the Harbor shareholders, the merger will close as soon as practicable after the Annual Meeting, provided that all other conditions to the merger have been satisfied or waived. After all of the conditions to the merger have been satisfied or waived, articles of merger will be filed with the Maryland Department of Assessment and Taxation. The merger will become effective on the date and at the time specified on the certificate of merger.

Directors and Officers

The merger agreement provides that the Directors and executive officers of Harbor immediately prior to the merger will be the Directors and executive officers of Harbor, as the surviving corporation, immediately after the merger.

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

The merger agreement provides that the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Harbor in effect immediately prior to the merger will be the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Harbor, as the surviving corporation, immediately after the merger.

Representations and Warranties

The merger agreement contains customary representations and warranties made by Harbor and merger subsidiary regarding various matters, including representations by them as to the enforceability of the merger agreement.

Conditions to the Completion of the Merger

The obligations of Harbor and merger subsidiary to complete the merger are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the following conditions:

• Approval of the merger agreement by the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of Harbor common stock which cannot be waived;

• All requisite regulatory approvals relating to the Merger, if any, shall have been obtained and continue to be in full force and effect, and all waiting and notice periods under applicable law shall have expired.

• The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock owned by those shareholders of Harbor who will receive merger consideration or have perfected and are entitled to exercise their objecting shareholders’ rights shall not exceed 1.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

• No injunction, restraining order, stop order, or other order or action of any Federal or state court or agency in the United States which prohibits, restricts, or makes illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement shall be in effect, and no action, suit or other proceeding seeking such shall have been instituted or threatened, and no statue, rule, or regulation shall have been enacted, issued, or promulgated by and state or Federal government or government agency which prohibits, restricts, or makes illegal the consummation of those transactions.

As set forth above, the merger agreement includes a provision designed to protect Harbor in the event that the aggregate of the number of shares to be cashed-out in the merger plus the number of shares held by shareholders who object to the merger pursuant to the provisions of the MGCL exceeds 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of Harbor common stock. The purpose of this provision is to provide Harbor with the opportunity to terminate the merger agreement prior to consummation of the transaction in the event that the total consideration to be paid to Harbor shareholders in connection with the merger exceeds approximately $386,818. Based upon the list of beneficial shareholders on __________, 2006, it is expected that the number of shares of Harbor common stock to be cashed-out in the merger will be approximately 12,478, and Harbor is prepared to waive the condition to the merger agreement and consummate the transaction. Further, the merger agreement provides that it may be terminated at any time by either Harbor or merger subsidiary prior to consummation of the merger.

36

Termination of Merger Agreement

The merger agreement may be terminated by either Harbor or merger subsidiary at any time prior to the effective time of the merger.

37

PROPOSAL II—ADJOURNMENT OF THE ANNUAL MEETING

If Harbor does not receive a sufficient number of votes to approve Proposal I, Harbor may propose to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if a quorum is present, from time to time for a period of not more than 120 days after the record date, with the approval of a majority of shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote. Harbor currently does not intend to propose an adjournment of the Annual Meeting if there are sufficient votes to approve the merger agreement.

Harbor’s Board of Directors and each Filing Person and Affiliate has determined and believes that the Proposal to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of Proposal I is advisable and procedurally fair to, and in the bests interests of Harbor and its shareholders, including unaffiliated shareholders, and has approval and adopted the proposal. Accordingly, the Harbor Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR Proposal II for adjournment of the Annual Meeting.

COMPANY CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

The Corporation’s business is managed under the direction of its Board of Directors. The Board of Directors seeks to increase shareholder value and promote the Corporation’s long-term growth. The Board of Directors establishes Corporation policies and strategies and regularly monitors the effectiveness of the Corporation’s management in carrying out these policies and strategies. As part of the Board of Director’s commitment to these principles, the Board of Directors regularly reviews the Corporation’s corporate governance policies and practices. This review includes comparing the Corporation’s current policies and practices to the policies and practices suggest by various groups and authorities active in corporate governance and policies and practices of public companies in general. The Board of Directors will continue to consider the adoption of changes, as appropriate, to enhance the Corporation’s corporate governance policies and practices, and to comply with any rule changes made by the SEC.

Board Organization and Operation

Members of the Board of Directors are kept informed of the Corporation business through discussions with key member of the Corporation’s management team, by reviewing materials provided to the Board of Directors and by participating in meetings of the Board and its committees.

The Board of Directors has adopted standards for Director independence that are in accordance with the standards adopted by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) and utilized by companies with securities quoted on Nasdaq. The Board of Directors is not required to adhere to the independence standards adopted by the NASD because the common Stock is not quoted or listed on NASDAQ or any other quotation system or exchange. The Board of Directors believes, however, that a Board with at least a majority of independent Directors is an important part of good corporate governance principles. Based on the Board of Directors’ adopted standards, the Board of Directors has determined that none of its members has a material relationship with the Corporation and that all of its members are independent Directors, except for Messrs. Haskins and Paterakis who are not independent Directors because each is an executive officer of the Corporation. As a result, a significant majority of the members of the Board of Directors is independent.

39

During 2005, the Board of Directors met 12 times. Each of the nominees and the other Directors attended at least 75% of the total Board of Directors meetings and meetings of the Board committees on which he or she served, with the exception of Mr. Thomas who attended 60% of these meetings. When necessary or appropriate, the Corporation’s independent Directors meet in executive sessions without the presence of the Corporation’s management. This gives the independent Directors the opportunity to discuss management’s performance and any other matter that one or more independent Directors would like to discuss.

Board Committees

Each Director who serves on the Board of Directors is also a Director on the Bank’s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has one standing committee: the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”). The Bank’s Board of Directors has a Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) and an Executive Committee (the “Executive Committee”)

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee responsibilities include the appointment of the Corporation’s independent accountants, the preapproval of all audit services and permitted non-audit services provided to the Corporation by the Corporation’s independent accountants, reviews of the independence of the Corporation’s independent accountants, and review of the adequacy of internal accounting and disclosure controls of the Corporation. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. In 2005, the Audit Committee met four times. The current members of the Audit Committee are: Messrs. Vaeth, Chair, Higgs, March, Scott and Tucker. Each member of the Audit Committee is an independent Director as defined by the current NASD rules. Mr. Scott has the professional experience deemed necessary o qualify as an audit committee financial expert under the SEC’s rules and regulations.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee structures the compensation of the Corporation’s executive officers and administers the Corporation’s employee benefit plans. The Compensation Committee currently does not operate under written charter. The Compensation Committee met once in 2005. The current members of the Compensation Committee are: Messrs. Grasmick, Chair, DeGraffereidt, and St. John. Each member of the Compensation Committee is an independent Director as defined by the current NASD rules.

Executive Committee. The Executive Committee generally has the authority to exercise all of the power of the Bank’s Board of Director in the management and direction of the business affairs of the Bank, subject to specific directions of the Bank’s Board of Directors and the limitation of Maryland law. The Executive Committee met 13 times in 2005. The current members of the Executive Committee are: Messrs. Paterakis, Chair, Haskins, DeGraffereidt, Grasmick, March, Vaeth and Dr. Kelley. A majority of the members of the Executive Committee is independent as defined by the current NASD rules.

Nomination Process

The Board of Directors does not have a nominating committee. The full Board of Directors performs the functions of a nominating committee. The Board of Directors does not believe it needs a separate nominating committee because the full Board is comprised predominantly of independent Directors and has the time and resources to perform the function of selecting Board nominees. When the Board of Directors performs nominating function, the Board of Directors acts in accordance with the Corporation’s corporate charter and bylaws but does not have a separate charter related to the nomination process. Under the Corporation’s charter, nominations for Director may be made by the Board of Directors or by a shareholder of record who delivers notice along with the additional information and materials required by the Corporation’s charter to the Corporation Corporate Secretary not less then 30 days and no more than 60 days before the annual meeting date. For the Corporation’s annual meeting in 2007, the Corporation must receive this notice on or after February 18, 2007 and on or before March 20, 2007. The Corporation’s shareholders may obtain a copy of the Corporation charter by writing to the Corporation Corporate Secretary, Harbor Bankshares Corporation, 25 West Fayette Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21201.

40

The Corporation’s Directors have a critical role in guiding the Corporation’s strategic direction and in overseeing the Corporation’s management. The Board of Directors considers candidates for the Board based upon several criteria, including their broad-based business and professional skills and experiences, concern for the long-term interests of shareholders, and personal integrity and judgment. Candidates should have reputations, both personal and professional, consistent with the Corporation’s image and reputation. Because diversity is important, the Board of Directors seeks to ensure that its Directors reflect the gender and ethnic diversity of the Corporation’s community. The majority of Directors on the Board of Directors should be “independent,” not only as that term may be legally defined, but also without the appearance of any conflict in serving as a Director. In addition, Directors must have time available to devote to Board activities and to enhance their knowledge of the banking industry. Accordingly, the Board of Directors seeks to attract and retain highly qualified Directors who have sufficient time to attend to their substantial duties and responsibilities to the Corporation.

The Board of Directors utilizes the following process for identifying and evaluating nominees to the Board. In the case of incumbent Directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Board of Directors review such Directors’ overall service to the company during their term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation and quality of performance. In the case of new Director candidates, the Directors on the Board of Directors are polled for suggestions as to potential candidates that may meet the criteria above, discuss candidates suggested by the Corporation’s shareholders and may also engage, if the Board of Directors deems appropriate, a professional search firm. To date, the Board of Directors has not engaged professional search firms to identify or evaluate potential nominees but may do so in the future, if necessary. The Board of Directors then meets to discuss and consider these candidates’ qualifications and then chooses a candidate by a majority vote.

Director Attendance at the Corporation Annual Meeting

The Corporation does not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of the Board of Director at the Corporation’s annual meetings of shareholders. The Corporation has always encouraged its Directors to attend its annual meetings of shareholders and expects to continue this policy. In 2005, 13 Corporation Directors attended the Corporation’s annual meeting of shareholders.

Shareholder Communication with the Board

The Corporation does not have a formal process for shareholder communications with the Board of Directors. The Corporation has made an effort to ensure that the Board of Directors or individual Directors, as applicable, hear the views of Corporation’s shareholders. The Corporation believes that it has been responsive regarding conveying shareholder communications to the Board of Directors.

Shareholder Proposals

Under the proxy rules established by the SEC and currently applicable to Harbor, shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders may be eligible for inclusion in Bancorp’s proxy materials for that Annual Meeting if received by Bancorp at its executive offices not later than __________________, 200_ unless the date of the 2007 annual meeting is more than 30 days from_________________, 2007, in which case the deadline is a reasonable time before Bancorp begins to print and mail proxy materials.

In addition, Bancorp’s Bylaws require that to be properly brought before an annual meeting, shareholder proposals for new business must be delivered to or mailed and received by Bancorp not less than thirty nor more than sixty days prior to the date of the meeting; provided, however, that if less than thirty-one days notice of the date of the meeting is given to shareholders, such notice by a shareholder must be received not later than the tenth day following the date on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed to shareholders. Each such notice given by a shareholder must set forth certain information specified in the Bylaws concerning the shareholder and the business proposed to be brought before the meeting.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.

Based solely on the Corporation’s review of the copies of initial statements of beneficial ownership on Form 3 and reports of changes in beneficial ownership on Form 4 that it has received in the past year, annual statements of changes in beneficial ownership on Form 5 with respect to the last fiscal year, and written representations that no such annual statement of change in beneficial ownership was required, all Directors, executive officers, and beneficial owners of more than 10% of its common stock have timely filed those reports with respect to 2005. The Corporation makes no representation regarding persons who have not identified themselves as being subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or as to the appropriateness of disclaimers of beneficial ownership.

41

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

For years the Corporation has had policies regarding conflicts of interest and securities law compliance. The Corporation has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that reflects these longstanding policies and contains additional policy initiatives. The Corporation requires all its Directors, executive officers, and employees to adhere to the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct in addressing the legal and ethical issues encountered in conducting their work. The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct requires that the Corporation’s Directors, executive officers and employees avoid conflict of interest, comply with securities laws and other legal requirements and conduct business in an honest and ethical manner. The Corporation conveys to its Directors, executive officers, and employees both their obligations and responsibilities under and the importance of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.

Directors, executive officers, and employees are required to report any conduct that they believe in good faith to be an actual or apparent violation of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. The Corporation has established procedures for receiving, retaining and treating complaints received regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and for the confidential and anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. The Corporation’s shareholders may obtain a copy of the Code of Ethics and Business conduct by writing to the Corporation’s Corporate Secretary, Harbor Bankshares Corporation, 25 West Fayette Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21201. A Copy of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct has been filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

Mr. Hernandez’s beneficiaries would be entitled to receive the remainder of the retirement benefit should he die before receipt of the full retirement benefit.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

During the past year the Bank has had loan transactions in the ordinary course of its banking business with Directors and executive officers of the Bank and with their affiliates. Loans to such persons were made in the ordinary course of business and did not and do not currently involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. All such loans were made on substantially the same terms including interest rates and collateral requirements, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliates. The bank expects to enter into such transaction in the future. As of December 31, 2005, loans to Directors and executive officers of the Bank, and their affiliates, including loans guaranteed by such persons and unfunded commitments made in 2005, aggregated $13,466,000 or approximately 63.2% of tangible shareholders’ equity of the Bank.

Since May 1997, the Bank has leased approximately 2,600 square feet from Harbor East – Office, LLC for one of the Bank’s branch offices located in Baltimore, Maryland. A majority of the outstanding membership interests of Harbor East – Office, LLC is beneficially owned by John Paterakis, who serves as a Director of the Company and the Bank and as Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Bank’s Board of Directors. In 2005, the Bank’s monthly lease payments for these premises were approximately $6,333. The current lease term expires in May 2007, and the Bank has two five-year options to renew. The Company believes that this lease is on terms no less favorable to the Bank than those that would be available to the Bank in an arm’s length transaction with a third party.

The Chair is required to report any decision to pre-approve such services to the full Audit Committee at its next meeting.

THE ANNUAL MEETING

Purpose

This proxy statement is furnished to shareholders of Harbor in connection with the solicitation of proxies by Harbor’s Board of Directors for use at the Annual Meeting.

Date, Place and Time of Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting of Harbor’s shareholders will be held at Harbor’s main office at 25 West Fayette Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21201 on Wednesday __________ 2006, at 12:00 noon Eastern Time.

Shares Entitled to Vote; Quorum and Vote Required

The holders of record of the outstanding shares of Harbor voting common stock at the close of business on __________, 2006, will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on that date, there were 641,784 shares of Harbor common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

At the Annual Meeting Harbor shareholders will be entitled to one vote for each share of Harbor common stock owned of record on the record date. The holders of a majority of the Harbor common stock must be present, either in person or by proxy, to constitute a quorum at the meeting. Shares of Harbor common stock present in person or represented by proxy, including shares whose holders abstain or do not vote and shares held of record by a broker or nominee that are voted on any matter, will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at the Annual Meeting.

The affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the issued and outstanding Harbor voting common stock is required to approve the merger agreement. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting with a quorum present. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast. The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Harbor common stock present at the meeting, either in person or by proxy, is required to approve an adjournment of the Annual Meeting and any other matters that may be properly presented at the meeting.

The proposal to approve the merger agreement and the proposal for adjournment are “non-discretionary” items, meaning that brokers and banks who hold shares in an account for customers who are the beneficial owners of such shares may not give a proxy to vote those shares on those items without specific instructions from their customers. Any abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against approval of the merger agreement. Accordingly, the Harbor Board of Directors encourages you to complete, date and sign the accompanying proxy card and return it promptly in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

On the record date, the Directors and executive officers of Harbor and the Bank (16 persons) were entitled to vote, in the aggregate, 193,177 shares of Harbor common stock, or approximately 30.1% of the outstanding shares of Harbor voting common stock. These shares are expected to be voted FOR approval of the merger agreement. If these shares are voted in favor of the merger agreement, then shareholders owning an additional 234,679 shares would be required to vote in favor of the merger in order for the proposal to receive approval by two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares of Harbor common stock.

A list of shareholders will be available for examination by holders of the Harbor common stock for any purpose related to the Annual Meeting at the Annual Meeting and during the 10 days prior to the Annual Meeting at our offices at 25 West Fayette Street, Baltimore, MD 21201.

46

Voting Procedures and Revocation of Proxies

Proxies, in the form enclosed, which are properly executed by the shareholders and returned to Harbor and not subsequently revoked, will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated on the proxies. Any properly executed proxy on which voting instructions are not specified will be voted FOR the proposal to approve the merger agreement, FOR the propose to adjourn the Annual Meeting, if necessary, and FOR the election of the four nominated Class II Directors. The proxy also grants authority to the persons designated in the proxy to vote in accordance with their own judgment if an unscheduled matter is properly brought before the meeting.

If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation by the Harbor Board of Directors at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by:

• Giving written notice to the Secretary of Harbor;

• Executing a proxy bearing a later date filed with the Secretary of Harbor at or before the meeting; or

• Attending and voting in person at the meeting. Attendance without voting at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy.

All written notices of revocation and other communications with respect to revocation or proxies should be sent to: Harbor Bankshares Corporation, 25 West Fayette Street, Baltimore, MD 21201 Attention: Teodoro J. Hernandez, Vice President and Treasurer. If you hold your shares in street name with a bank or broker, you must contact the bank or broker if you wish to revoke your proxy.

Attending the Annual Meeting

All of our shareholders are invited to attend the Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of Harbor common stock held by a broker, bank or other nominee (i.e., in “street name”), you will need proof of ownership to be admitted to the Annual Meeting. A recent brokerage statement or a letter from a bank or broker are examples of proof of ownership. If you want to vote your shares of Harbor common stock held in street name in person at the Annual Meeting, you will have to get a written proxy in your name from the broker, bank, or other nominee who holds your shares.

The Board of Directors

Harbor Bankshares Corporation

25 West Fayette Street

Baltimore, Maryland 21201

Dear Members of the Board,

Set forth herein is Danielson Associates Inc.’s (“Danielson Associates”) independent appraisal of the “fair” market value of the common stock of Harbor Bankshares Corporation (“Harbor” or “the Bank”) of Baltimore, Maryland as of December 8, 2005. Market value is defined as the price at which the common stock would change hands between a willing seller and a willing buyer, each having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts and assuming a significant amount of stock changing hands daily to assure a true reflection of market forces.

This fairness opinion is provided in connection with a proposed “going private transaction,” in the form of a merger in which Harbor common stock owned by shareholders who own 100 or fewer shares would be exchanged for cash.. Record holders of more than 100 shares of Harbor common stock would not receive cash for their shares in the merger and would remain Harbor shareholders. Harbor would be the surviving company in the merger.

This fairness opinion is based on data supplied by Harbor to Danielson Associates and its regulators, but relies on some public information, all of which is believed to be reliable, but the accuracy or completeness of such information cannot be guaranteed. In particular, this “fairness” opinion assumes that there are no significant loan quality problems beyond what has been stated in Harbor’s quarterly reports to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

B-1

In determining the fair value of the common stock of Harbor, primary emphasis has been given to the stock prices of publicly-traded banks that have comparable financial, market and structural characteristics, and the relationship of these prices to earnings.

Based on these comparisons, an analysis of Harbor’s past performance and future potential and by applying discounts for market, stock liquidity and its minority ownership, it has been established that the “fair” value of its common stock as of December 8, 2005 is between $28.13 and $29.63 per share with the midpoint being $28.88 per share. Any price in this range would be “fair” to current shareholders, including shareholders who would be cashed out in the merger and shareholders who would not be cashed out in the merger.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ David G. Danielson

David G. Danielson
President

(a) In this subtitle, except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, "successor" includes a corporation which amends its charter in a way which alters the contract rights, as expressly set forth in the charter, of any outstanding stock, unless the right to do so is reserved by the charter of the corporation.

(3) In any transaction governed by § 3-602 of this title or exempted by § 3-603(b) of this title, fair value shall be value determined in accordance with the requirements of § 3-603(b) of this title.

(c) Unless the transaction is governed by § 3-602 of this title or is exempted by § 3-603(b) of this title, a stockholder may not demand the fair value of the stockholder's stock and is bound by the terms of the transaction if:

(ii) With respect to any other transaction, on the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on the transaction objected to;

C-1

(2) The stock is that of the successor in a merger, unless:

(i) The merger alters the contract rights of the stock as expressly set forth in the charter, and the charter does not reserve the right to do so; or

(ii) The stock is to be changed or converted in whole or in part in the merger into something other than either stock in the successor or cash, scrip, or other rights or interests arising out of provisions for the treatment of fractional shares of stock in the successor;

(3) The stock is not entitled, other than solely because of § 3-106 of this title, to be voted on the transaction or the stockholder did not own the shares of stock on the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on the transaction;

(4) The charter provides that the holders of the stock are not entitled to exercise the rights of an objecting stockholder under this subtitle; or

(5) The stock is that of an open-end investment company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the value placed on the stock in the transaction is its net asset value.

§  3-203. Duties of objecting stockholders

(a) A stockholder of a corporation who desires to receive payment of the fair value of the stockholder's stock under this subtitle:

(1) Shall file with the corporation a written objection to the proposed transaction:

(i) With respect to a merger under § 3-106 of this title of a 90 percent or more owned subsidiary with or into its parent corporation, within 30 days after notice is given or waived under § 3-106; or

(ii) With respect to any other transaction, at or before the stockholders' meeting at which the transaction will be considered or, in the case of action taken under § 2-505(b) of this article, within 10 days after the corporation gives the notice required by § 2-505(b) of this article;

(2) May not vote in favor of the transaction; and

(b) A stockholder who fails to comply with this section is bound by the terms of the consolidation, merger, share exchange, transfer of assets, or charter amendment.

§  3-204. Effect of demand

(2) A petition for an appraisal is not filed within the time required by this subtitle;

(3) A court determines that the stockholder is not entitled to relief; or

(4) The transaction objected to is abandoned or rescinded.

(b) The restoration of a stockholder's rights entitles him to receive the dividends, distributions, and other rights he would have received if he had not demanded payment for his stock. However, the restoration does not prejudice any corporate proceedings taken before the restoration.

§  3-207. Successor's duty, notice and offer

(a)(1) The successor promptly shall notify each objecting stockholder in writing of the date the articles are accepted for record by the Department.

(2) The successor also may send a written offer to pay the objecting stockholder what it considers to be the fair value of his stock. Each offer shall be accompanied by the following information relating to the corporation which issued the stock:

(i) A balance sheet as of a date not more than six months before the date of the offer;

(ii) A profit and loss statement for the 12 months ending on the date of the balance sheet; and

(iii) Any other information the successor considers pertinent.

(b) The successor shall deliver the notice and offer to each objecting stockholder personally or mail them to him by certified mail, return receipt requested, bearing a postmark from the United States Postal Service, at the address he gives the successor in writing, or, if none, at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation which issued the stock.

§  3-208. Petition for appraisal

(a) Within 50 days after the Department accepts the articles for record, the successor or an objecting stockholder who has not received payment for his stock may petition a court of equity in the county where the principal office of the successor is located or, if it does not have a principal office in this State, where the resident agent of the successor is located, for an appraisal to determine the fair value of the stock.

(b)(1) If more than one appraisal proceeding is instituted, the court shall direct the consolidation of all the proceedings on terms and conditions it considers proper.

(2) Two or more objecting stockholders may join or be joined in an appraisal proceeding.

C-3

§  3-209. Submission of certificate for notation

(a) At any time after a petition for appraisal is filed, the court may require the objecting stockholders parties to the proceeding to submit their stock certificates to the clerk of the court for notation on them that the appraisal proceeding is pending. If a stockholder fails to comply with the order, the court may dismiss the proceeding as to him or grant other appropriate relief.

(b) If any stock represented by a certificate which bears a notation is subsequently transferred, the new certificate issued for the stock shall bear a similar notation and the name of the original objecting stockholder. The transferee of this stock does not acquire rights of any character with respect to the stock other than the rights of the original objecting stockholder.

§  3-210. Report of appraisers

(a) If the court finds that the objecting stockholder is entitled to an appraisal of his stock, it shall appoint three disinterested appraisers to determine the fair value of the stock on terms and conditions the court considers proper. Each appraiser shall take an oath to discharge his duties honestly and faithfully.

(b) Within 60 days after their appointment, unless the court sets a longer time, the appraisers shall determine the fair value of the stock as of the appropriate date and file a report stating the conclusion of the majority as to the fair value of the stock.

(c) The report shall state the reasons for the conclusion and shall include a transcript of all testimony and exhibits offered.

(d)(1) On the same day that the report is filed, the appraisers shall mail a copy of it to each party to the proceedings.

(2) Within 15 days after the report is filed, any party may object to it and request a hearing.

§  3-211. Court order upon appraisers report

(a) The court shall consider the report and, on motion of any party to the proceeding, enter an order which:

(1) Confirms, modifies, or rejects it; and

(2) If appropriate, sets the time for payment to the stockholder.

(b)(1) If the appraisers' report is confirmed or modified by the order, judgment shall be entered against the successor and in favor of each objecting stockholder party to the proceeding for the appraised fair value of his stock.

(2) If the appraisers' report is rejected, the court may:

(i) Determine the fair value of the stock and enter judgment for the stockholder; or

(ii) Remit the proceedings to the same or other appraisers on terms and conditions it considers proper.

(c)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, a judgment for the stockholder shall award the value of the stock and interest from the date as at which fair value is to be determined under § 3-202 of this subtitle.

(2) The court may not allow interest if it finds that the failure of the stockholder to accept an offer for the stock made under § 3-207 of this subtitle was arbitrary and vexatious or not in good faith. In making this finding, the court shall consider:

(i) The price which the successor offered for the stock;

C-4

(ii) The financial statements and other information furnished to the stockholder; and

(iii) Any other circumstances it considers relevant.

(d)(1) The costs of the proceedings, including reasonable compensation and expenses of the appraisers, shall be set by the court and assessed against the successor. However, the court may direct the costs to be apportioned and assessed against any objecting stockholder if the court finds that the failure of the stockholder to accept an offer for the stock made under § 3-207 of this subtitle was arbitrary and vexatious or not in good faith. In making this finding, the court shall consider:

(i) The price which the successor offered for the stock;

(ii) The financial statements and other information furnished to the stockholder; and

(iii) Any other circumstances it considers relevant.

(2) Costs may not include attorney's fees or expenses. The reasonable fees and expenses of experts may be included only if:

(i) The successor did not make an offer for the stock under § 3-207 of this subtitle; or

(ii) The value of the stock determined in the proceeding materially exceeds the amount offered by the successor.

(e) The judgment is final and conclusive on all parties and has the same force and effect as other decrees in equity. The judgment constitutes a lien on the assets of the successor with priority over any mortgage or other lien attaching on or after the effective date of the consolidation, merger, transfer, or charter amendment.

§  3-212. Surrender of stock to successor

The successor is not required to pay for the stock of an objecting stockholder or to pay a judgment rendered against it in a proceeding for an appraisal unless, simultaneously with payment:

(1) The certificates representing the stock are surrendered to it, indorsed in blank, and in proper form for transfer; or

(2) Satisfactory evidence of the loss or destruction of the certificates and sufficient indemnity bond are furnished.

§ 3-213. Rights of successor

(a) A successor which acquires the stock of an objecting stockholder is entitled to any dividends or distributions payable to holders of record of that stock on a record date after the close of business on the day as at which fair value is to be determined under § 3-202 of this subtitle.

(b) After acquiring the stock of an objecting stockholder, a successor in a transfer of assets may exercise all the rights of an owner of the stock.

(c) Unless the articles provide otherwise, stock in the successor of a consolidation, merger, or share exchange otherwise deliverable in exchange for the stock of an objecting stockholder has the status of authorized but unissued stock of the successor. However, a proceeding for reduction of the capital of the successor is not necessary to retire the stock or to reduce the capital of the successor represented by the stock.

Forward Looking Statements

         Harbor Bankshares Corporation (the "Corporation") makes forward-looking
statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB that are subject to risks and
uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include: statements of the
Corporation's goals, intentions, and expectations; estimates of risks and of
future costs and benefits; expectations regarding future financial performance
of the Corporation; assessments of loan quality, probable loan losses, and the
amount and timing of loan payoffs; liquidity, contractual obligations,
off-balance sheet risk, and market or interest rate risk; and statements of the
Corporation's ability to achieve financial and other goals. These
forward-looking statements are subject to significant uncertainties because they
are based upon: the amount and timing of future changes in interest rates,
market behavior, and other economic conditions; future laws, regulations and
accounting principles; and a variety of other matters. Because of these
uncertainties, the actual future results may be materially different from the
results indicated by these forward-looking statements. In addition, the
Corporation's past growth and performance do not necessarily indicate its future
results.

Item 1.  Description of Business

Harbor Bankshares Corporation

         Harbor Bankshares Corporation (the "Corporation") is a bank holding
company with one bank subsidiary and two Community Development financial
subsidiaries, one for profit, The Harbor Bank of Baltimore LLC and a non-profit,
The Harbor Bank CDC. Both were established during 2002. The Corporation has no
investment in either subsidiary as of December 31, 2004. The Corporation was
organized under the laws of the State of Maryland in 1992. On November 2, 1992,
Harbor Bankshares Corporation acquired all outstanding stock of The Harbor Bank
of Maryland (the "Bank"), headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland.

The Harbor Bank of Maryland

         The Bank is a Maryland chartered commercial bank headquartered in
Baltimore, Maryland. The Bank was opened on September 13, 1982. The deposits of
the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

         The Bank conducts general banking business in seven (7) locations and
serves primarily the Baltimore Metropolitan area. It offers checking, savings
and time deposits, commercial, real estate, personal, home improvement,
automobile and other installment loans, credit cards and term loans. The Bank is
also a member of a local and national ATM network. The retail nature of the Bank
allows for diversification of deposits and borrowers so it is not dependent upon
a single or a few customers.

         Harbor Financial Services, a company dealing with the sale of mutual
funds, stocks, insurance, etc., was established as a subsidiary of the Bank
during May 1997 in order to compete with that expanding market.

Competition

         The Corporation's subsidiary, The Harbor Bank of Maryland, competes
with virtually all banks and savings institutions that offer services in its
market area. The Bank directly competes with branches of most of the State's
largest banks, each of which has greater financial and other resources to
conduct large advertising campaigns and to allocate their investment assets to
regions of higher yield and demand. To attract business in this competitive
environment, the Bank relies heavily on local promotional activities and
personal contact by its officers and directors and by its ability to provide
personalized services.

Supervision and Regulation

         Following is a brief summary of certain statutes and regulations that
significantly affect the Corporation and the Bank. A number of other statutes
and regulations affect the Corporation and the Bank but are not summarized
below.

         Bank Holding Company Regulation. The Corporation is registered as a
bank holding company under the Holding Company Act and, as such, is subject to
supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the "Federal Reserve"). As a bank holding company, the Corporation is
required to furnish to the Federal Reserve regular reports of its operations and
additional information and reports. The Corporation is also subject to regular
examination by the Federal Reserve.

                                       1


         Under the Holding Company Act, a bank holding company must obtain the
prior approval of the Federal Reserve before (1) acquiring direct or indirect
ownership or control of any class of voting securities of any bank or bank
holding company if, after the acquisition, the bank holding company would
directly or indirectly own or control more than 5% of the class; (2) acquiring
all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company;
or (3) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company.

         Under the Holding Company Act, any company must obtain approval of the
Federal Reserve prior to acquiring control of the Corporation or the Bank. For
purposes of the Holding Company Act, "control" is defined as ownership of 25% or
more of any class of voting securities of the Corporation or the Bank, the
ability to control the election of a majority of the directors, or the exercise
of a controlling influence over management or policies of the Corporation or the
Bank.

         The Change in Bank Control Act and the related regulations of the
Federal Reserve require any person or persons acting in concert (except for
companies required to make application under the Holding Company Act), to file a
written notice with the Federal Reserve before the person or persons acquire
control of the Corporation or the Bank. The Change in Bank Control Act defines
"control" as the direct or indirect power to vote 25% or more of any class of
voting securities or to direct the management or policies of a bank holding
company or an insured bank.

         The Holding Company Act also limits the investments and activities of
bank holding companies. In general, a bank holding company is prohibited from
acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting
shares of a company that is not a bank or a bank holding company or from
engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of banking,
managing or controlling banks, providing services for its subsidiaries, non-bank
activities that are closely related to banking, and other financially related
activities. The activities of the Corporation are subject to these legal and
regulatory limitations under the Holding Company Act and Federal Reserve
regulations.

         In general, bank holding companies that qualify as financial holding
companies under federal banking law may engage in an expanded list of non-bank
activities. Non-bank and financially related activities of bank holding
companies, including companies that become financial holding companies, also may
be subject to regulation and oversight by regulators other than the Federal
Reserve.

         The Federal Reserve has the power to order a holding company or its
subsidiaries to terminate any activity, or to terminate its ownership or control
of any subsidiary, when it has reasonable cause to believe that the continuation
of such activity or such ownership or control constitutes a serious risk to the
financial safety, soundness, or stability of any bank subsidiary of that holding
company.

         The Federal Reserve has adopted guidelines regarding the capital
adequacy of bank holding companies, which require bank holding companies to
maintain specified minimum ratios of capital to total assets and capital to
risk-weighted assets. See "Regulatory Capital Requirements."

         The Federal Reserve has the power to prohibit dividends by bank holding
companies if their actions constitute unsafe or unsound practices. The Federal
Reserve has issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by bank
holding companies, which expresses the Federal Reserve's view that a bank
holding company should pay cash dividends only to the extent that the company's
net income for the past year is sufficient to cover both the cash dividends and
a rate of earnings retention that is consistent with the company's capital
needs, asset quality, and overall financial condition.

         Bank Regulation. The Bank is subject to supervision by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (`FDIC") and the State of Maryland. Deposits of
the Bank are insured by the FDIC to the legal maximum of $100,000 for each
insured depositor. Deposits, reserves, investments, loans, consumer law
compliance, issuance of securities, payment of dividends, establishment of
branches, mergers and acquisitions, corporate activities, changes in control,
electronic funds transfers, responsiveness to community needs, management
practices, compensation policies, and other aspects of operations are subject to
regulation by the appropriate federal and state supervisory authorities. In
addition, the Bank is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and
regulations which set forth specific restrictions and procedural requirements
with respect to extensions of credit (including to insiders), credit practices,
disclosure of credit terms and discrimination in credit transactions.

         The FDIC regularly examines the operations and condition of the Bank,
including, but not limited to, its capital adequacy, reserves, loans,
investments, and management practices. These examinations are for the protection
of the Bank's depositors and the FDIC's insurance fund. In addition, the Bank is
required to furnish quarterly and annual reports to the FDIC. The FDIC's
enforcement authority includes the power to remove officers and directors and
the authority to issue cease-and-desist orders to prevent a bank from engaging
in unsafe or unsound practices or violating laws or regulations governing its
business.

         The FDIC has adopted regulations regarding the capital adequacy, which
require FDIC supervised banks to maintain specified minimum ratios of capital to
total assets and capital to risk-weighted assets. See "Regulatory Capital
Requirements." Regulations limit the amount of dividends that the Bank may pay
to the Corporation. See Note 15 "Regulatory Matters" on page 22 of the Audited
Consolidated Financial Statements section of the Corporation's Annual Report to
Shareholders.

                                       2


         The Bank is subject to restrictions under federal law which limit the
transfer of funds by the Bank to the Corporation and its non-banking
subsidiaries, whether in the form of loans, extensions of credit, investments,
asset purchases, or otherwise. Such transfers by the Bank to the Corporation or
any of the Corporation 's non-banking subsidiaries are limited in amount to 10%
of the Bank's capital and surplus and, with respect to the Corporation and all
such non-banking subsidiaries, to an aggregate of 20% of the Bank's capital and
surplus. Furthermore, such loans and extensions of credit are required to be
secured in specified amounts.

         The Bank is subject to restrictions imposed by federal law on
extensions of credit to, and certain other transactions with, the Corporation
and other affiliates, and on investments in their stock or other securities.
These restrictions prevent the Corporation and the Bank's other affiliates from
borrowing from the Bank unless the loans are secured by specified collateral,
and require those transactions to have terms comparable to terms of arms-length
transactions with third persons. In addition, secured loans and other
transactions and investments by the Bank are generally limited in amount as to
the Corporation and as to any other affiliate to 10% of the Bank's capital and
surplus and as to the Corporation and all other affiliates together to an
aggregate of 20% of the Bank's capital and surplus. Certain exemptions to these
limitations apply to extensions of credit and other transactions between the
Bank and its subsidiaries. These regulations and restrictions may limit the
Corporation's ability to obtain funds from the Bank for its cash needs,
including funds for acquisitions and for payment of dividends, interest, and
operating expenses.

         Under Federal bank regulations, banks must adopt and maintain written
policies that establish appropriate limits and standards for extensions of
credit secured by liens or interests in real estate or are made for the purpose
of financing permanent improvements to real estate. These policies must
establish loan portfolio diversification standards; prudent underwriting
standards, including loan-to-value limits, that are clear and measurable; loan
administration procedures; and documentation, approval, and reporting
requirements. A bank's real estate lending policy must reflect consideration of
the Interagency Guidelines for Real Estate Lending Policies (the "Interagency
Guidelines") adopted by the federal bank regulators. The Interagency Guidelines,
among other things, call for internal loan-to-value limits for real estate loans
that are not in excess of the limits specified in the Guidelines. The
Interagency Guidelines state, however, that it may be appropriate in individual
cases to originate or purchase loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of the
supervisory loan-to-value limits.

         The FDIC has established a risk-based deposit insurance premium
assessment system for insured depository institutions. Under the system, the
assessment rate for an insured depository institution depends on the assessment
risk classification assigned to the institution by the FDIC, based upon the
institution's capital level and supervisory evaluations. Institutions are
assigned to one of three capital groups -- well-capitalized, adequately
capitalized, or undercapitalized -- based on the data reported to regulators.
Well-capitalized institutions are institutions satisfying the following capital
ratio standards: (i) total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater; (ii) Tier
1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater; and (iii) Tier 1 leverage ratio of
5% or greater. Adequately capitalized institutions are institutions that do not
meet the standards for well-capitalized institutions but that satisfy the
following capital ratio standards: (i) total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or
greater; (ii) Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater; and (iii) Tier 1
leverage ratio of 4% or greater. Institutions that do not qualify as either
well-capitalized or adequately capitalized are deemed to be undercapitalized.
Within each capital group, institutions are assigned to one of three subgroups
on the basis of supervisory evaluations by the institution's primary supervisory
authority and such other information as the FDIC determines to be relevant to
the institution's financial condition and the risk it poses to the deposit
insurance fund. Subgroup A consists of financially sound institutions with only
a few minor weaknesses. Subgroup B consists of institutions with demonstrated
weaknesses that, if not corrected, could result in significant deterioration of
the institution and increased risk of loss to the deposit insurance fund.
Subgroup C consists of institutions that pose a substantial probability of loss
to the deposit insurance fund unless effective corrective action is taken.
Deposit insurance rates may be increased during 2006 or later years.

         Regulatory Capital Requirements. The Federal bank regulators have
established guidelines for maintenance of appropriate levels of capital by bank
holding companies and banks. The regulations impose two sets of capital adequacy
requirements: minimum leverage rules, which require bank holding companies and
banks to maintain a specified minimum ratio of capital to total assets, and
risk-based capital rules, which require the maintenance of specified minimum
ratios of capital to "risk-weighted" assets.

         The regulations require bank holding companies and banks to maintain a
minimum leverage ratio of "Tier 1 capital" (as defined in the risk-based capital
guidelines discussed in the following paragraphs) to total assets of 3.0%. The
capital regulations state, however, that only the strongest bank holding
companies and banks, with composite examination ratings of 1 under the rating
system used by the federal bank regulators, would be permitted to operate at or
near this minimum level of capital. All other bank holding companies and banks
are expected to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 1% to 2% above the minimum
ratio, depending on the assessment of an individual organization's capital
adequacy by its primary regulator. A bank or bank holding company experiencing
or anticipating significant growth is expected to maintain capital well above
the minimum levels. In addition, the bank regulators have indicated that they
also may consider the level of an organization's ratio of tangible Tier 1
capital (after deducting all intangibles) to total assets in making an overall
assessment of capital.

                                       3


         The risk-based capital rules require bank holding companies and member
banks to maintain minimum regulatory capital levels based upon a weighting of
their assets and off-balance sheet obligations according to risk. The risk-based
capital rules have two basic components: a core capital (Tier 1) requirement and
a supplementary capital (Tier 2) requirement. Core capital consists primarily of
common stockholders' equity, certain perpetual preferred stock (noncumulative
perpetual preferred stock with respect to banks), and minority interests in the
equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries; less all intangible assets, except
for certain mortgage servicing rights and purchased credit card relationships.
Supplementary capital elements include, subject to certain limitations, the
allowance for losses on loans and leases; perpetual preferred stock that does
not qualify as Tier 1 capital; long-term preferred stock with an original
maturity of at least 20 years from issuance; hybrid capital instruments,
including perpetual debt and mandatory convertible securities; subordinated
debt, intermediate-term preferred stock, and up to 45% of pre-tax net unrealized
gains on available-for-sale equity securities.

            In 2003, the Corporation, through its subsidiary, Harbor Bankshares
Corporation Capital Trust, issued $7.2 million in trust preferred securities in
a private placement. These securities are shown as junior subordinated
debentures on the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Corporation. These trust
preferred securities issued are believed to meet the Federal Reserve's
regulatory criteria for Tier 1 capital, subject to Federal Reserve guidelines
that limit the amount of trust preferred securities (and any cumulative
perpetual preferred stock) that may be included in Tier 1 capital to an
aggregate of 25% of Tier 1 capital. Any excess may be included as supplementary
capital. See Note 12 "Junior Subordinated Debentures" on page 20 of the Audited
Consolidated Financial Statements section of the Corporation's Annual Report to
Shareholders.

         The risk-based capital regulations assign balance sheet assets and
credit equivalent amounts of off-balance sheet obligations to one of four broad
risk categories based principally on the degree of credit risk associated with
the obligor. The assets and off-balance sheet items in the four risk categories
are weighted at 0%, 20%, 50% and 100%. These computations result in the total
risk-weighted assets.

         The risk-based capital regulations require all commercial banks and
bank holding companies to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to total
risk-weighted assets of 8%, with at least 4% as core capital. For the purpose of
calculating these ratios: (i) supplementary capital is limited to no more than
100% of core capital; and (ii) the aggregate amount of certain types of
supplementary capital is limited. In addition, the risk-based capital
regulations limit the allowance for credit losses that may be included in
capital to 1.25% of total risk-weighted assets.

         The federal bank regulatory agencies have established a joint policy
regarding the evaluation of commercial banks' capital adequacy for interest rate
risk. Under the policy, the Federal Reserve's assessment of a bank's capital
adequacy includes an assessment of the bank's exposure to adverse changes in
interest rates. The Federal Reserve has determined to rely on its examination
process for such evaluations rather than on standardized measurement systems or
formulas. The Federal Reserve may require banks that are found to have a high
level of interest rate risk exposure or weak interest rate risk management
systems to take corrective actions. Management believes its interest rate risk
management systems and its capital relative to its interest rate risk are
adequate.

         Federal banking regulations also require banks with significant trading
assets or liabilities to maintain supplemental risk-based capital based upon
their levels of market risk. The Bank did not have significant levels of trading
assets or liabilities during 2004, and was not required to maintain such
supplemental capital.

         Well-capitalized institutions are not subject to limitations on
brokered deposits, while an adequately capitalized institution is able to
accept, renew, or rollover brokered deposits only with a waiver from the FDIC
and subject to certain restrictions on the yield paid on such deposits.
Undercapitalized institutions are not permitted to accept brokered deposits.

         The Federal bank regulators have established regulations that classify
banks by capital levels and provide for the Federal Reserve to take various
"prompt corrective actions" to resolve the problems of any bank that fails to
satisfy the capital standards. Under these regulations, a well-capitalized bank
is one that is not subject to any regulatory order or directive to meet any
specific capital level and that has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or
more, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or more, and a leverage ratio of
5% or more. An adequately capitalized bank is one that does not qualify as
well-capitalized but meets or exceeds the following capital requirements: a
total risk-based capital ratio of 8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4%,
and a leverage ratio of either (i) 4% or (ii) 3% if the bank has the highest
composite examination rating. A bank that does not meet these standards is
categorized as undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, or critically
undercapitalized, depending on its capital levels. A bank that falls within any
of the three undercapitalized categories established by the prompt corrective
action regulation is subject to severe regulatory sanctions. As of December 31,
2005, the Bank was well-capitalized as defined in the regulations.

                                        4


         For information regarding the Corporation's and the Bank's compliance
with their respective regulatory capital requirements, see note 16 "Regulatory
Matters" on page 22 of the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements section of
the Corporation's Annual Report to Shareholders.

Community Reinvestment

         Under the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA"), a financial institution
has a continuing and affirmative obligation to help meet the credit needs of its
entire community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The CRA does
not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial
institutions, or limit an institution's discretion to develop the types of
products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular
community. However, institutions are rated on their performance in meeting the
needs of their communities. Performance is tested in three areas: (a) lending,
to evaluate the institution's record of making loans in its assessment areas;
(b) investment, to evaluate the institution's record of investing in community
development projects, affordable housing, and programs benefiting low or
moderate income individuals and business; and (c) service, to evaluate the
institution's delivery of services through its branches, ATMs and other offices.
The CRA requires each federal banking agency, in connection with its examination
of a financial institution, to assess and assign one of four ratings to the
institution's record of meeting the credit needs of its community and to take
such record into account in its evaluation of certain applications by the
institution, including applications for charters, branches and other deposit
facilities, relocations, mergers, consolidations, acquisitions of assets or
assumptions of liabilities, and savings and loan holding company acquisitions.
The CRA also requires that all institutions make public disclosure of their CRA
ratings. The Bank was assigned an "outstanding" rating as a result of its last
CRA examination.

Bank Secrecy Act

Under the Bank Secrecy Act ("BSA"), a financial institution is required to have
systems in place to detect certain transactions, based on the size and nature of
the transaction. Financial institutions are generally required to report cash
transactions involving more than $10,000 to the United States Treasury. In
addition, financial institutions are required to file suspicious activity
reports for transactions that involve more than $5,000 and which the financial
institution knows, suspects, or has reason to suspect involves illegal funds, is
designed to evade the requirements of the BSA, or has no lawful purpose. The
Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to
Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act, commonly referred to as the "USA Patriot
Act" or the "Patriot Act", enacted in response to the September 11, 2001,
terrorist attacks, enacted prohibitions against specified financial transactions
and account relationships, as well as enhanced due diligence standards intended
to prevent the use of the United States financial system for money laundering
and terrorist financing activities. The Patriot Act requires banks and other
depository institutions, brokers, dealers and certain other businesses involved
in the transfer of money to establish anti-money laundering programs, including
employee training and independent audit requirements meeting minimum standards
specified by the act, to follow standards for customer identification and
maintenance of customer identification records, and to compare customer lists
against lists of suspected terrorists, terrorist organizations and money
launderers. The Patriot Act also requires federal bank regulators to evaluate
the effectiveness of an applicant in combating money laundering in determining
whether to approve a proposed bank acquisition... On May 18, 2005, the Bank
executed a memorandum of understanding with the FDIC and the Maryland
Commissioner of Financial Regulation, in which it agreed to take certain steps
to improve its Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering compliance programs,
including independent testing of compliance. Management believes that the Bank
is fully in compliance with the terms of the memorandum.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley") established a broad range of
corporate governance and accounting measures intended to increase corporate
responsibility and protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability
of disclosures under federal securities laws. The Corporation is subject to
Sarbanes-Oxley because it is required to file periodic reports with the SEC
under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Among other things,
Sarbanes-Oxley, its implementing regulations have established new membership
requirements and additional responsibilities for the Corporation's audit
committee, imposed restrictions on the relationship between the Corporation and
its outside auditors (including restrictions on the types of non-audit services
our auditors may provide to us), imposed additional financial statement
certification responsibilities for the Company's chief executive officer and
chief financial officer, expanded the disclosure requirements for corporate
insiders, and require management to evaluate the Corporation's disclosure
controls and procedures and report material changes in the Corporation's
internal control over financial reporting. Under current regulations, in future
periods, Sarbanes-Oxley will require the management to evaluate the
Corporation's internal control over financial reporting and will require
Corporation's auditors to issue a report on the Corporation's internal control
over financial reporting.

                                       5


Other Laws and Regulations

Some of the aspects of the lending and deposit business of the Bank that are
subject to regulation by the FDIC include reserve requirements and disclosure
requirements in connection with personal and mortgage loans and deposit
accounts. In addition, the Bank is subject to numerous federal and state laws
and regulations that include specific restrictions and procedural requirements
with respect to the establishment of branches, investments, interest rates on
loans, credit practices, the disclosure of credit terms, and discrimination in
credit transactions.

Enforcement Actions
Federal statutes and regulations provide financial institution regulatory
agencies with great flexibility to undertake an enforcement action against an
institution that fails to comply with regulatory requirements. Possible
enforcement actions range from the imposition of a capital plan and capital
directive to civil money penalties, cease and desist orders, receivership,
conservatorship, or the termination of deposit insurance.

Governmental Monetary Policies and Economic Controls

         The earnings and growth of the banking industry and ultimately of The
Harbor Bank of Maryland, Harbor Bankshares Corporation's sole subsidiary, are
affected by the credit policies of monetary authorities including the Federal
Reserve System. An important function of the Federal Reserve System is to
regulate the national supply of bank credit in order to control recessionary and
inflationary pressures. Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the
Federal Reserve to implement these objectives are open market operations in U.S.
Government securities, changes in the discount rate of member bank borrowings,
and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. These means
are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth of bank loans and
investments and deposits, and may also affect interest rates charged on loans or
paid for deposits. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve authorities have
had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the
past and are expected to continue to have such an effect in the future.

         In view of changing conditions in the national economy and in the money
markets, as well as the effect of actions by monetary and fiscal authorities,
including the Federal Reserve System, no prediction can be made as to possible
future changes in interest rates, deposit levels, and loan demand, or their
effect on the business and earnings of the Corporation and its subsidiary.

The total amount of Real Estate Construction and Mortgage loans due after one

Asset Quality

           One of the Corporation's main objectives has been and continues to be
the achievement of a high level of asset quality. We maintain a large portion of
loans secured by residential one-to four- family properties and commercial
properties. As of December 31, 2005, those loans totaled $89 million or 46.35
percent of total outstanding loans. We set sound credit standards for new loan
originations, and follow careful loan administration procedures. We strengthened
our focus on credit risk by having independent reviews of all major credits with
detailed reports to management.

         Delinquent Loans and Foreclosed Assets: The Corporation policies
require that management continuously monitor the status of the loan portfolio
and report to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis. These reports include
information on delinquent loans and foreclosed real estate, and actions and
plans to cure the delinquent status of the loans and to dispose of the
foreclosed properties.

      It is the policy of the Corporation to place a loan on non-accrual status
whenever there is substantial doubt about the ability of a borrower to pay
principal or interest on any outstanding credit. Management considers such
factors as payment history, the nature of the collateral securing the loan, and
the overall economic situation of the borrower when making a non-accrual
decision. Non-accrual loans are closely monitored by management. A non-accruing
loan is restored to accrual status when principal and interest payments have
been brought current or it becomes well-secured or is in the process of
collection and the prospects of future contractual payments are no longer in
doubt.

      We generally stop accruing income when interest or principal payments are
90 days in arrears. We may stop accruing income on such loans earlier than 90
days when we consider the timely collectibility of interest or principal payment
to be doubtful.

      When we designate non-accrual loans, we reverse all outstanding interest
that we had previously credited. If we receive a payment on a non-accrual loan,
we may recognize a portion of that payment as interest income if we determine
that the ultimate collectibility of principal is no longer in doubt. However,
such loans may remain in non-accrual status.

Impaired Loans

      At December 31, 2005, the Corporation had $576 thousand of impaired loans
for which the borrowers were experiencing financial difficulties. Those loans
are subject to constant management attention and their classification is
reviewed monthly. Impaired loans are individually assessed to determine whether
the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the collateral.

Foreclosed Real Estate

      Foreclosed real estate consists of property we have acquired through
foreclosed or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Foreclosed real estate properties are
initially recorded at the lower of the recorded investment in the loan or fair
value. At December 31, 2005 and 2004 we had no foreclosed real estate.

Potential Nonperforming Loans

         Those performing loans considered potential nonperforming loans, loans
which are not included in the past due, nonaccrual or restructured categories,
but for which known information about possible credit problems cause management
to be uncertain as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present
loan repayment terms over the next six months, amounted to approximately $7,149
thousand at December 31, 2005, compared to $3,716 thousand at December 31, 2004,
and $3,502 thousand at December 31, 2003. These loans are subject to continuing
management attention and are considered by management in determining the level
of the allowance for loan losses.


                                       13


Allowance for Loan Losses

         The Corporation's allowance for loan loss methodology is a loan
classification-based system, based on the required allowance on a percentage of
the loan balance for each type of loan and classification level. Allowance
percentages are 3.0% and 5.0% for watch loans, 10.0% for special mention, 15.0%
and 20.0% for substandard and 50.0% for doubtful loans. Allowance percentages
are based on each individual lending program, its loss history and underwriting
characteristics such as: loan to value, credit score, debt coverage, collateral,
and capacity to service debt. This analysis is used to validate the loan loss
allowance matrix as well as to assist in establishing overall lending direction.

While management considers the Corporation's allowance for loan losses to be
adequate based on information currently available, future adjustments to the
allowance may be necessary due to changes in economic conditions, management's
assumptions as to future delinquencies or loss rates, and management's intent
with regard to asset disposition options. In addition, the Corporation's
allowance for loan losses is periodically reviewed by the bank regulatory
agencies and an independent external loan review as an integral part of their
examination process. Based on their reviews, the agencies may require the
Corporation to adjust the allowance.

Long And Short Term Borrowings

Junior Subordinated Debt Security

      On October 9, 2003, Harbor Bankshares Corporation issued a Floating Rate
Junior Subordinated Debt Securities due 2033 in the amount of $7.2 million. The
Debt Security was issued by the Corporation pursuant to an Indenture, dated as
of October 9, 2003, between the Corporation and Wilmington Trust Company. The
Capital Securities were issued by Harbor Bankshares Corporation Capital Trust
pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated September 18, 2003, among the
Corporation, the Trust and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. Upon receipt of the
funds, the corporation paid off its long-term debt to the National Community
Investment Fund ("NCIF") in the amount of $1.8 million and placed the remaining
funds in its subsidiary, The Harbor Bank of Maryland, increasing the Bank's Tier
One capital. This capital infusion increased the Bank's lending limit and
allowed for future growth.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

         Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the
Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit
risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that
involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank holds collateral
supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. The
Harbor Bank of Maryland has not been required to perform on any financial
guarantees and has not incurred any losses on its commitments. The issuance of
letters of credit is not a significant activity of the Bank.

         Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend funds to customers
as long as there are no violations of any condition established in the loan
contracts. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The
Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The
amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank upon
extension of credit, is based on credit evaluation by management. Collateral
held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and
equipment as well as income producing properties. We believe that we have
adequate resources to fund all loan commitments.

         The Bank has entered into leases for some of its branches, most of
which contain renewal options.

please see Notes 7 and 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the
discussion of the Debt Security in "Long and Short Term Borrowings," above.

Critical Accounting Policies

           The Corporation's consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates.
Application of these principles requires management to make estimates,
assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments
are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements;
accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect
different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain policies inherently have
a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and as
such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially
different than originally reported. Estimates, assumptions and judgments are
necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value,
when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements
at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be
established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon
a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results
in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used
to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based
either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources,
when available.


                                       17


        The most significant accounting policies followed by the Corporation are
presented in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. These policies,
along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and
in this discussion, provide information on how significant assets and
liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are
determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of
financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions and estimates underlying
those amounts, management has identified the determination of the allowance for
loan losses as the accounting area that requires the most subjective or complex
judgments, and as such could be most subject to revision as new information
becomes available.

        The Corporation believes it has developed appropriate policies and
procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses,
recognizing that this process requires a number of assumptions and estimates
with respect to its loan portfolio. The Corporation's assessments may be
affected in future periods by changes in economic conditions, the impact of
regulatory examinations, and the discovery of information with respect to
borrowers which is not known to management at the time of the issuance of the
consolidated financial statements. For additional discussion concerning the
Corporation's allowance for loan losses and related matters, see "Provision for
Loan Losses and Asset Quality" above and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Item 2.  Description of Property

         The Corporation's Headquarters is located at 25 West Fayette Street,
Baltimore, Maryland 21201. This location is approximately 60,000 square feet and
was bought by the Corporation during September 2003 for $2.9 million. The
renovation of the building is completed.

         The Bank also maintains another six (6) branch offices, five (5) are
leased; three (3) located in Baltimore City, 1000 Lancaster Street Baltimore,
Maryland 21202, 5000 Park Heights Avenue Baltimore, Maryland 21215 and 800 West

located in Baltimore County, Maryland at 3825 Liberty Plaza Randallstown,
Maryland 21133. The Bank owns another branch facility in Baltimore City located
at 3240 Belair Road Baltimore, Maryland 21213.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

     In the normal course of business, the Corporation is at all times subject
to various pending and threatened legal actions. The relief or damages sought in
some of these actions may be substantial. After reviewing pending and threatened
actions with counsel, management considers that the outcome of such actions will
not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial position;
however, the Corporation is not able to predict whether the outcome of such
actions may or may not have a material adverse effect on results of operations
in a particular future period as the timing and amount of any resolution of such
actions and relationship to the future results of operations are not known.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations should be read in conjunction with Item 1. Business, and Item 7,
Financial Statements, of this Report.

OVERVIEW - 2005 COMPARED TO 2004

All references to Harbor Bankshares Corporation (the "Corporation") should be
interpreted to include The Harbor Bank of Maryland (the "Bank") whenever
appropriate, except when specifically noted otherwise.

The Corporation earnings increased for the year 2005 when compared to the prior
year. Earnings for the year were $1.9 million in comparison to $1.5 million
earned during 2004, an increase of $421 thousand or 28.8 %. The 2005 earnings
did not include any securities gains or Federal agency awards. The earnings for
2004 reflected only $17 thousand of securities gains and no awards.

The Harbor Bank of Maryland, the Corporation's subsidiary, achieved earnings of
$2.5 million in comparison to $1.9 million for the prior year, an increase of
$564 thousand or 29.0%.

Returns on average assets (ROAA) and average equity (ROAE) for the Corporation
in 2005 were .78% and 11.57%, respectively, compared to the .63% and 9.33%
achieved during the prior year. The return on average assets for the Bank in
2005 was 1.04%, compared to .84% for the prior year.

NET-INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income is the difference between interest income and related fees
on earning assets and the interest expense incurred on deposits and other
borrowings. Net interest income continues to be the Corporation's main source of
earnings. Net interest income for 2005 increased by $862 thousand or 8.3 %. The
increase reflects the growth of the loan portfolio during 2005, mainly in the
commercial and commercial real estate categories.

Total interest income increased by $2.4 million or 18.7% to $15.0 million for
2005 in comparison to the $12.7 million earned during 2004. As stated above, the
growth of the loan portfolio combined with higher rates were the main reasons
for the increase.

Total interest expense increased by $1.5 million or 6.6 % to $3.8 million in
2005 from $2.3 million in 2004. Higher interest rates combined with interest
bearing deposit increases resulted in the increase.

Net interest margin for 2005 was 5.15% compared to 4.97% for 2004.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND ASSET QUALITY

For the year 2005, the Corporation recorded a $410 thousand provision for loan
losses, compared to $360 for the year 2004. Gross charge-offs totaled $91
thousand for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to the prior year total
of $413 thousand. These charge-offs in 2004 primarily relate to credit card,
consumer and commercial loans.

The allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2005, was 1.08% of total loans
and .93% at the end of the comparable 2004 period.

Future provisions for loan losses will continue to be based upon our assessment
of the overall loan portfolio and its underlying collateral, the mix of loans
within the portfolio, delinquency trends, economic conditions, current and
prospective trends in real estate values, and other relevant factors.


                                       20


The table below shows the non-performing assets for a five-year period:

The Corporation's allowance for loan loss methodology is a loan
classification-based system, based on the required allowance on a percentage of
the loan balance for each type of loan and classification level. Allowance
percentages are 3.0% and 5.0% for watch loans, 10.0% for special mention, 15.0%
and 20.0% for substandard and 50.0% for doubtful loans. Allowance percentages
are based on each individual lending program, its loss history and underwriting
characteristics such as: loan to value, credit score, debt coverage, collateral,
and capacity to service debt. This analysis is used to validate the loan loss
allowance matrix as well as to assist in establishing overall lending direction.

While management considers the Corporation's allowance for loan losses to be
adequate based on information currently available, future adjustments to the
allowance may be necessary due to changes in economic conditions, management's
assumptions as to future delinquencies or loss rates, and management's intent
with regard to asset disposition options. In addition, the Corporation's
allowance for loan losses is periodically reviewed by the bank regulatory
agencies and an independent external loan review as an integral part of their
examination process. Based on their reviews, the agencies may require the
Corporation to adjust the allowance.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income increased by $257 thousand or 17.0% to $1.8 million in 2005.
Included in the 2004 non-interest income were $6 thousand in gain on sale of
loans, $17 thousand in securities gains and no Community Development Financial
Institution Fund ("CDFI") awards. In 2005, there were no gains on the sale of
securities or loans, and no CDFI awards. Service charges on deposit accounts
increased by $98 thousand or 12.2% and other non-interest income by $152
thousand or 31.9%. Included in other non-interest income are fees in the amount
of $82 thousand for reimbursement for services and expenses incurred by the Bank
in the formation of one of the Holding Company unconsolidated subsidiaries in
2002.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES

Non-interest expenses of $9.6 million in 2005 increased by $343 thousand or 3.7
% when compared to the prior year. Salaries and benefits of $4.4 million in 2005
reflected a decrease of $85 thousand or 1.9% when compared to the prior year
salaries and benefits cost. Advertising expenses increased by $69 thousand or
23.0%. Occupancy expense increased by $414 thousand or 61.0% due to the
renovation of the Corporation's Headquarters building and the opening of a new
branch facility. Equipment expense decreased by $32 thousand or 9.0% due to
lower depreciation. Professional fees, which include legal expenses, decreased
by $98 thousand or 19.0%. In 2005, the Bank settled its claims against third
parties in connection with a 2004 ATM cash shortage upon payment to the Bank of
$575,000. The Bank recorded losses of $225,000 in 2005 and $275,000 in 2004
relating to this cash shortage. The amortization expense in 2002 through 2005
includes amortization of core deposit intangibles recorded in the purchase of a
branch facility during 2002. Amortization in 2001 and 2002 reflects amortization
of goodwill. Other non-interest expenses increased by $46 thousand or 3.0 %.

APPLICABLE INCOME TAXES

Applicable income taxes include current and deferred portions, which are
detailed in Note 10 of the audited consolidated financial statements. Taxes for
2005 were $1,067 thousand compared to $762 thousand for 2004. The effective tax
rate for the year 2005 was 36.2% compared to 34.3% for the year 2004.

CREDIT RISK ANALYSIS

The Corporation, through its subsidiary, The Harbor Bank of Maryland, has in
place credit policies and procedures designed to control and monitor credit
risk. Credit analysis and loan review functions have provided a check and
balance system for assessing initial and on-going risk associated with the
lending process.

Credit risk is mitigated through portfolio diversification, limiting exposure to
any single industry or customer, requiring collateral and employing standard
lending policies and underwriting criteria across the Corporation. Independent
third party credit reviews are performed quarterly. During 2005, 70.0% of the
loan portfolio was analyzed. During these reviews, any weaknesses are brought to
management's attention for corrective action. Note 2 to the consolidated
financial statements describes the Corporation's accounting policies related to
nonperforming loans and charge-offs and describes the methodologies used to
develop the allowance, including both the allocated and unallocated components.
The Corporation's policies are consistent with regulatory standards.



                                       22


ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

INTRODUCTION

The Investment Committee of the Corporation reviews policies regarding the
sources and uses of funds, maturity distribution, and associated interest rate
sensitivities. This effort is aimed at minimizing risks associated with
fluctuating interest rates, as well as maintaining sufficient liquidity.

LIQUIDITY


Liquidity describes the ability of the Corporation to meet financial
obligations, including lending commitments and contingencies that arise during
the normal course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the
borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of the customers of the
Corporation, as well as to meet current and planned expenditures. The
Corporation, through the Bank, is required to maintain adequate sources of cash
in order to meet its financial commitments in an organized manner without
incurring substantial losses. These commitments relate principally to changes in
the Bank's deposit base through withdrawals and changes in funds required to
meet normal and seasonal loan demands. The Bank, and thereby the Corporation,
derives liquidity through the maturity distribution of the investment portfolio,
loan repayments and income from earning assets. The Bank maintains a portion of
its investment portfolio as a liquidity reserve, which can be converted to cash
on an immediate basis.

The Bank has also established secured lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan
Bank as an additional source of liquidity. Collateral must be pledged to the
FHLB before advances can be obtained. At December 31, 2005, the Corporation had
sufficient collateral in order to borrow up to an aggregate of $25.7 million
from the FHLB under the established lines of credit, if necessary. Liquidity is
also provided through the Corporation's portfolio of liquid assets, consisting
of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and
investment securities available for sale. Such assets totaled $49.1 million or
19.1% of total assets at December 31, 2005.

The Corporation derives its cash from a combination of operating activities,
investing activities and financing activities as disclosed in the consolidated
statement of cash flows. Cash flows from operating activities consist of
interest income collected on loans and investments, interest expense paid on
deposits and other borrowings, other income collected, such as cash received
relating to service charges, and cash payments for other operating expenses
including income taxes.

Cash flows from investing activities include the purchase, sale and maturity of
investments and interest bearing deposits in other banks, the net decrease in
the level of loans, and purchases of premises and equipment. Cash flows from
financing activities consist of movements in the level of deposits and other
borrowings, and proceeds from the issuance of stock.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, net cash provided by operating activities
totaled $4.6 million. Net cash used by investing activities totaled $16.5
million resulting primarily from a net increase in loans of $16.7 million and
net purchases of premises and equipment of $3.1 million, offset in part by the
proceeds of maturities and principal payments of investment securities of $2.0
million and a decrease in deposits at other banks of $1.3 million. Net cash
provided by financing activities totaled $18.7 million, mainly resulting from
the net increase in total deposits of $19.6 million.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

The Corporation's net income is largely dependent on its net interest income.
The Corporation seeks to maximize its net interest margin within an acceptable
level of interest rate risk. Interest rate risk can be defined as the amount of
forecasted net interest income that may be gained or lost due to favorable or
unfavorable movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk, or sensitivity,
arises when the maturity or repricing characteristics of assets differ
significantly from the maturity or repricing characteristics of liabilities. Net
interest income is also affected by changes in the portion of interest-earning
assets that are funded by interest-bearing liabilities rather than by other
sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and stockholders' equity.

The Corporation attempts to manage interest rate risk while enhancing net
interest margin by adjusting its asset/liability position. At times, depending
on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long-term and
short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the
Corporation may determine to increase its interest rate risk position somewhat
in order to increase its net interest margin. The Corporation monitors interest
rate risk and adjust the composition of its interest-related assets and
liabilities in order to limit its exposure to changes in interest rates on net
interest income over time. The Corporation's Investment Committee reviews its
interest rate risk position and profitability, and recommends adjustments. The
Investment Committee also reviews the securities portfolio, formulates
investment strategies, and oversees the timing and implementation of
transactions. Notwithstanding The Corporation's interest rate risk management
activities, the potential for changing interest rates is an uncertainty that can
have an adverse effect on net income.


                                       23


The Bank also analyzes interest rate risk based upon quantitative measures of
the percentage changes in fair value of equity capital resulting from a
hypothetical immediate change (or shock) of plus or minus 100 and 200 basis
points in interest rate levels. This analysis is based upon models, which are
based upon a number of significant assumptions regarding reactions of interest
rates. These models also provide an analysis of interest rate shock effects on
net interest income. The maximum decrease of net interest income, based upon the
Bank's December 31, 2005 asset/liability position, was 1.3% from a 200 basis
point rate shock.

One measure of interest rate sensitivity is the difference between interest
sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities called the "interest
sensitivity gap." The following table shows an analysis of the Corporation's
cumulative interest sensitivity gap position.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements: Standby letters of credit are conditional
commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a
third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
The Bank holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is
deemed necessary. The Bank has not been required to perform on any financial
guarantees and has not incurred any losses on its commitments. The issuance of
letters of credit is not a significant activity of the Bank.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend funds to customers as long
as there are no violations of any condition established in the loan contracts.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit
worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is
deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on credit
evaluation by management. Collateral held varies but may include accounts
receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment as well as income producing
properties. We believe that we have adequate resources to fund all loan
commitments.

The Bank has entered into leases for its branch and office space, most of which
contain renewal options. For additional information regarding off-balance sheet
arrangements, please see Notes 7, 11 and 17 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Stockholders' equity increased by $714 thousand or 4.4% to $16.9 million. This
increase was mainly due to net income of $1.9 million, and proceeds from the
sale of common stock of $172 thousand, offset by the unrealized loss of
securities held for sale, which was $522 thousand at December 31, 2005, compared
to a loss of $238 thousand for 2004 and retirement of common stock of $775
thousand. As of year-end, based on borrowing arrangements with the Federal Home
Loan Bank with unused credit availability of $25.6 million, the Corporation had
sufficient liquidity to withstand any unusual demand of funds without
liquidating its investment securities. Stockholders' equity was 6.6% of total
assets as of the year-end. The Tier 1 capital ratio as of December 31, 2005, was
7.3%, and the risk-based capital ratio was 11.67%. The minimum requirements
established by regulators are 4.0% for Tier 1 capital and 8.0% for total
risk-based capital. The book value of each share of common stock was $24.73 as
of December 31, 2005.

The Tier I capital ratio for the Corporation's subsidiary, The Harbor Bank of
Maryland as of December 31, 2005, was 8.8% and the risk-based total capital
ratio was 11.6%, both above the established regulatory requirements.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION

The Corporation, through its subsidiary, The Harbor Bank of Maryland, continued
its growth during 2005. Total assets increased by $21.1 million or 9.0 %.



                                       25


Deposits increased from $210.2 million in 2004 to $229.8 million in 2005, an
increase of $19.6 million or 9.3%. Net loans reached to $188.9 million in 2005
from $172.2 million in 2004, an increase of $16.7 million or 8.8%.

The Corporation plans to continue its expansion through marketing efforts by its
Management and Board of Directors.

Audit Committee of the
  Board of Directors and Stockholders
  of Harbor Bankshares Corporation


           We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Harbor Bankshares Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004
and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the management of Harbor Bankshares Corporation. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

           We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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
Bankshares Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the
results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

                 HARBOR BANKSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004





1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

             Harbor Bankshares Corporation (the "Corporation") is a bank holding
company organized under the laws of the State of Maryland in 1992. The
Corporation owns all of the outstanding stock of the Harbor Bank of Maryland
(the "Bank") which owns all of the outstanding stock of the Bank's subsidiary,
Harbor Financial Services.

             The Bank is a commercial bank headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland.
The deposits of the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. The Bank conducts general banking business in six locations and
primarily serves the Baltimore, Maryland metropolitan area. The Bank also has a
branch in Riverdale, Prince George's County, Maryland. It offers checking,
savings and time deposits, commercial real estate, personal, home improvement,
automobile, and other installment and term loans. The Bank is also a member of a
national ATM network. The retail nature of the Bank allows for diversification
of depositors and borrowers so it is not dependent upon a single or a few
customers.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

             The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation and its
subsidiary conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Certain
reclassifications have been made to amounts previously reported to conform to
the classifications made in 2005. The following is a summary of the more
significant accounting policies:

             Use of Estimates

                  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
U.S. 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

             Cash and Cash Equivalents

                  For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the
Corporation considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original
maturities of three months or less and money market funds to be cash
equivalents.


                                       36


             Investment Securities

                  Debt securities that the Corporation has the positive intent
and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and recorded
at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities are classified as trading
securities if bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the
near term. Trading securities are reported at estimated fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Debt securities not classified
as held to maturity and debt and equity securities not classified as trading
securities are considered available for sale and are reported at estimated fair
value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a
separate component of stockholders' equity, net of tax effects, in accumulated
other comprehensive income.

                  The Corporation designates securities into one of the three
categories at the time of purchase. If a decline in value of an individual
security classified as held to maturity or available for sale is judged to be
other than temporary, the cost basis of that security is reduced to its fair
value and the amount of the write-down is reflected in earnings. Estimated fair
value is determined based on bid prices published in financial newspapers or bid
quotations received from securities dealers. Gains or losses on the sales of
investments are calculated using a specific identification basis and are
determined on a trade-date basis. Premiums and discounts on investment and
mortgage-backed securities are amortized over the term of the security using
methods that approximate the interest method.

             Loans Held for Sale

                  The Corporation engages in sales of residential mortgage loans
originated by the Bank. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of
aggregate cost or fair value. Gains and losses on sales of these loans are
recorded as a component of non-interest income in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income. The amount of loans held for sale as of December 31, 2005
and 2004 was not considered material.

             Loans

                  Loans are stated at their principal balance outstanding net of
any deferred fees and costs. Interest income on loans is accrued at the
contractual rate based on the principal outstanding. The Corporation places
loans, on non-accrual when any portion of the principal or interest is ninety
days past due and collateral is insufficient to discharge the debt in full.
Interest accrual may also be discontinued earlier if, in management's opinion,
collection is unlikely.

                  Loans are considered impaired when, based on current
information, it is probable that the Corporation will not collect all principal
and interest payments according to contractual terms. Generally, loans are
considered impaired once principal or interest payments become ninety days or
more past due and they are placed on non-accrual. Management also considers the

financial condition of the borrower, cash flows of the loan and the value of the
related collateral. Impaired loans do not include large groups of smaller
balance homogeneous credits such as residential real estate and consumer
installment loans, which are evaluated collectively for impairment. Loans
specifically reviewed for impairment are not considered impaired during periods
of "minimal delay" in payment


                                       37


(ninety days or less) provided eventual collection of all amounts due is
expected. The impairment of a loan is measured based on the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or
the fair value of the collateral if repayment is expected to be provided by the
collateral. Generally, the Corporation's impairment on such loans is measured by
reference to the fair value of the collateral. Income on impaired loans is
recognized on the cash basis and is first applied against the principal balance
outstanding.

                  Discounts and premiums on purchased loans are amortized to
income using the interest method over the remaining period to contractual
maturity, adjusted for anticipated prepayments.

             Allowance for Loan Losses

                  The allowance for loan losses represents an amount which, in
management's judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing
loans that may become uncollectible. The allowance for loan losses consists of
an allocated component and an unallocated component. The components of the
allowance for loan losses represent an estimation done pursuant to either
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies, or SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is determined through
careful and continuous review and evaluation of the loan portfolio and involves
the balancing of a number of factors as outlined below to establish a prudent
level. Loans deemed uncollectible are charged against, while recoveries are
credited to, the allowance. Management adjusts the level of the allowance
through the provision for loan losses, which is recorded as a current period
operating expense. The Corporation's methodology for assessing the
appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements, which include
the formula allowance, specific allowances and the unallocated allowance.

                  The formula allowance is calculated by applying loss factors
to corresponding categories of outstanding loans. Loss factors are based on the
Corporation's historical loss experience. The use of these loss factors is
intended to reduce the difference between estimated losses inherent in the
portfolio and observed losses.

                  Specific allowances are established in cases where management
has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to a loan that
management believes indicate the probability that a loss may be incurred in an
amount different from the amount determined by application of the formula
allowance. For other problem graded credits, allowances are established
according to the application of credit risk factors. These factors are set by
management to reflect its assessment of the relative level of risk inherent in
each grade.

                  The unallocated allowance is based upon management's
evaluation of various conditions that are not directly measured in the
determination of the formula and specific allowances. Such conditions include
general economic and business conditions affecting key lending areas, credit
quality trends (including trends in delinquencies and nonperforming loans
expected to result from existing conditions), loan volumes and concentrations,
specific industry conditions within portfolio categories, recent loss experience
in particular loan categories, duration of the current business cycle, bank
regulatory examination results, findings of internal loan examiners, and
management's judgment with respect to various other conditions including loan
administration and management and the quality of risk identification systems.
Executive management reviews these conditions quarterly.


                                       38


                  Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is
adequate. However, the determination of the allowance requires significant
judgment, and estimates of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio can
vary significantly from the amounts actually observed. While management uses
available information to recognize probable losses, future additions to the
allowance may be necessary based on changes in the loans comprising the loan
portfolio and changes in the financial condition of borrowers, such as may
result from changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory
agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review
the Bank's loan portfolio and allowance for loan losses. Such review may result
in recognition of additions to the allowance based on their judgments of
information available to them at the time of their examination.

             Premises and Equipment

                  Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization computed using the straight-line method. Premises
and equipment are depreciated over the useful lives of the assets, except for
leasehold improvements which are amortized over the terms of the respective
leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
Useful lives range from three to seven years for furniture, fixtures and
equipment and forty years for buildings. The costs of major renewals and
betterments are capitalized, while the costs of ordinary maintenance and repairs
are expensed as incurred.

             Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta Stock

                  The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, is
required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB") in varying amounts based on balances of outstanding
home loans and on amounts borrowed from the FHLB. Because no ready market exists
for this stock and it has no quoted market value, the Bank's investment in this
stock is carried at cost.

             Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)

                  OREO comprises properties acquired in partial or total
satisfaction of problem loans. The properties are recorded at the lower of cost
or fair value at the date acquired. Losses arising at the time of acquisition of
such properties are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent
write-downs that may be required are added to a valuation reserve. Gains and
losses realized from the sale of OREO, as well as valuation adjustments, are
included in noninterest income. Expenses of operation are included in
noninterest expense. There was no OREO as of December 31, 2005 and 2004.

             Goodwill

                  Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of assets acquired
in business combinations accounted for under the purchase method over the fair
value of the net assets at dates of acquisition and is annually tested for
impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142.


                                       39


             Core Deposit Intangibles

                  Upon acquiring the branches of another financial institution,
the Bank engages an independent third party of experts to analyze and prepare a
core deposit study. This study reflects the cumulative present value benefit of
acquiring deposits versus an alternative source of funding. Based upon this
analysis, the amount of the premium related to the core deposits of the business
purchased is calculated along with the estimated life of the acquired deposits.
The core deposit intangible is being amortized over an approximate life of 9
years.

             Loan Servicing

                  The cost of mortgage servicing rights is amortized in
proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenue.
Impairment of mortgage servicing rights is assessed based on the fair value of
those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on a
current market interest rate. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount
by which the capitalized mortgage servicing rights exceed their fair value.

                  When participating interests in loans sold have an average
contractual interest rate, adjusted for normal servicing fees, that differs from
the agreed yield to the purchaser, gains or losses are recognized equal to the
present value of such differential over the estimated remaining life of such
loans. The resulting "excess servicing receivable" or "deferred servicing
revenue" is amortized over the estimated life using a method approximating the
interest method.

                  Quoted market prices are not available for the excess
servicing receivables. Thus, the excess servicing receivables and the
amortization thereon are periodically evaluated in relation to estimated future
servicing revenue, taking into consideration changes in interest rates, current
repayment rates, and expected future cash flows. The Corporation evaluates the
carrying value of the excess servicing receivables by estimating the future
servicing income of the excess servicing receivables based on management's best
estimate of remaining loan lives and discounted at the original discount rate.

             Bank-Owned Life Insurance

                  The Bank is the beneficiary of insurance policies on the lives
of certain officers of the Bank. The Bank has recognized the amount that could
be realized under the insurance policies as an asset in the consolidated balance
sheets. Appreciation in the value of the insurance policies is classified in
non-interest income.

             Income Taxes

                  Income tax expense is based on the results of operations,
adjusted for permanent differences between items of income or expense reported
in the financial statements and those reported for tax purposes. Under the
liability method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax basis of
assets and liabilities and are measured at the enacted tax rates that will be in
effect when these differences reverse.

             Earnings Per Share

                  Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by
the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share is determined using the weighted-average number of shares
outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock
equivalents, consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of common
stock options.

             Stock Based Compensation

                  The Corporation's stock-based compensation plan is accounted
for based on the intrinsic value method set forth in Accounting Principles Board
Opinion ("APB") No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
interpretations. Compensation expense for stock options is generally not
recognized if the exercise price of the option equals or exceeds the fair market
value of the stock on the date of grant.

                  The following table illustrates the effect on net income and
earnings per share if the Corporation had applied the fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS No. 123 to all stock option awards.

                  The fair values of stock options granted were estimated at the
date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes
option pricing model was originally developed for use in estimating the fair
value of traded options, which have different characteristics from the
Corporation's employee stock options. The model is also sensitive to changes in
assumptions, which can materially affect the fair value estimate. The following
weighted-average assumptions were used to determine the fair value of options
granted on the Corporation's common stock:

                                                                                                For the Year Ended

                  The Corporation expects to adopt the provisions of SFAS No.
123(R), Share-Based Payment (Revised 2005), on January 1, 2006. Among other
things, SFAS 123(R) eliminates the ability to account for stock-based
compensation using APB No. 25 and requires that such transactions be recognized
as compensation cost in the income statement based on their fair values on the
date of the grant.

             Advertising

                  Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising
expense was $368,689 and $300,130 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively.

             Awards and Grants

                  Income from awards and grants represents awards from the
Community Development Financial Institution Fund and is recognized when a
definitive commitment from the federal government agency is received. There were
no awards or grants in 2005 or 2004.

             Business Segments

                  The Corporation has determined that its current business and
operations  consist of one business segment.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

             In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. This statement replaces SFAS
No. 123, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees. SFAS 123(R) will require compensation costs related to share-based
payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements (with limited
exceptions). The amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the
grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.
Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides
service in exchange for the award. The Company is evaluating the requirements of
implementation and plans to adopt the provisions under the prospective method
beginning January 1, 2006. The impact of this Statement on the Corporation in
2006 and beyond will depend upon various factors, among them being the
Corporation's future compensation strategy. As of December 31, 2005, all stock
options outstanding are fully vested.

             In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement No. 154, ("SFAS No. 154") Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections - a Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. This
new standard replaces Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 20,
Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3 Reporting Accounting Changes in
Interim Financial Statements. Among other changes, SFAS No. 154 requires that a
voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all
prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle,
unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 also provides that (1) a
change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset
be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a
change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously
issued financial statements should be termed a "restatement". The new standard
is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Corporation does not anticipate
this revision will have a material effect on its financial statements.


                                       42


             On November 3, 2005, the FASB issued FSP Nos. FAS 115-1 and FAS
124-1 to address the determination as to when an investment is considered
impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement
of the impairment loss. The FSPs also includes guidance on the accounting
subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires
additional disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as
other-than-temporary impairments. The guidance in this FAS amends FASB
Statements No. 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities. The guidance in this FSP shall be applied to reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2005. This revision will not have a material effect
on the Corporation's financial statements.

4. RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

             The Bank is required by the Federal Reserve to maintain a reserve
balance based principally on deposit liabilities. The balance maintained is
included in cash and due from banks. The reserve balances kept at the Federal
Reserve Bank as of December 31, 2005 were $25,000.

5. INVESTMENT SECURITIES

             The amortized cost and estimated fair values of investments

             Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and
available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than
temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating
other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other
things, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been
less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the
issuer, and (iii) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its
investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any
anticipated recovery in fair value.

             Management has the ability and intent to hold the securities
classified as held-to-maturity until they mature, at which time the Corporation
will receive full value for the securities. Furthermore, as of December 31,
2005, management also had the ability and intent to hold the securities
classified as available-for-sale for a period of time sufficient for a recovery
of cost. The unrealized losses are largely due to increases in market interest
rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were
purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their
maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments
decline. Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to
reasons of credit quality. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2005, management
believes the impairments detailed in the table above are temporary and no
impairment loss has been realized in the Corporation's consolidated statement of
income.

             The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at
December 31, 2005, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities
may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to call
or repay obligations without call or prepayment penalties.

             Profit Sharing Retirement Savings Plan

                  The Corporation has established a defined contribution plan
covering employees meeting certain age and service eligibility requirements. The
plan provides for cash deferrals qualifying under Section 401(k). Matching
contributions made by the Corporation totaled $67,169 and $77,324 for the years
ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

             Deferred Compensation

                  The Bank has entered into deferred compensation agreements
with two of its executive officers. Under the agreements, the Bank is obligated
to provide for the officer or his beneficiaries, during a period of fifteen
years after the employee's death, disability or retirement, annual benefits
ranging from $40,000 to $200,000. The estimated present value of future benefits
to be paid is being accrued over the period from the effective date of the
agreements until the full eligibility dates of the participants. The expense
incurred for this plan for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was
$248,190 and $225,411, respectively. The Bank is the beneficiary of life
insurance policies, with aggregate cash surrender value of $4,178,774 at
December 31, 2005, that was purchased as a method of partially financing
benefits under this plan.

14. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

             Real estate loans comprise $102,903,065 and $94,543,110 of the
total loan portfolio at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. All real
estate mortgage loans are collateralized by real property and/or other assets.

15. REGULATORY MATTERS

             The Corporation and the Bank are subject to various regulatory
capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to
meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly
additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have
a direct material effect on the Corporation's and the Bank's financial
statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The
Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other
factors.

             Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain amounts and ratios
(set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the
regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as
defined) to average assets (as defined). As of December 31, 2005, the capital
levels of the Corporation and the Bank exceed all minimum capital adequacy
requirements to which they are subject. There are no conditions or events since
December 31, 2005 that management believes have changed the Bank's capital
rating.

             The Corporation's and the Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios
are also presented in the table: (in thousands)

             Diluted earnings per common shares takes into consideration the pro
forma dilution assuming the Corporation's outstanding in-the-money stock options
were converted or exercised into common shares. The average price of the
Corporation's common stock for the period is used to determine the dilutive
effect of outstanding stock options. As of December 31, 2005 none of the
Corporation's 132,741 outstanding stock options were excluded from the
computation of diluted earnings per share.

17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

             In the normal course of business, the Corporation has various
outstanding credit commitments which are properly not reflected in the financial
statements. These commitments are made to satisfy the financing needs of the
Corporation's clients. The associated credit risk is controlled by subjecting
such activity to the same credit and quality controls as exist for the
Corporation's lending and investing activities. The commitments are generally
variable rate and involve diverse business and consumer customers and are
generally well collateralized. Management does not anticipate that losses, if
any, which may occur as a result of these commitments would materially affect
the stockholders' equity of the Corporation. Since a portion of the commitments
have some likelihood of not being exercised, the amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements.

             Loan and credit line commitments, totaled $27,913,000 at December
31, 2005 and $24,301,000 at December 31, 2004. These commitments are contingent
upon continuing customer compliance with the terms of the agreement.

             Commercial letters of credit, totaling $907,810 at December 31,
2005 and $1,744,640 at December 31, 2004, are obligations to make payments under
certain conditions to meet contingencies related to customers' contractual
agreements. They are primarily used to guarantee a customer's contractual and/or
financial performance, and are seldom exercised.

18. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

             SFAS No. 107, Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
requires the Corporation to disclose fair value information about financial
instruments for which it is practicable to estimate, whether or not such fair
values are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. Estimated fair value
amounts have been determined using available market information and other
valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret
market data in developing the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the
estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amount that could be
realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions
and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair
value amounts.

             Cash and Due from Banks and Federal Funds Sold

                  The carrying amount approximated fair value.

             Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Banks

                  Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amount
approximated fair value.


                                       52


             Investment Securities

                  The fair values of securities are based upon quoted market
prices when available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values
are based upon quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

             Loans

                  The fair values of variable-rate loans and fixed-rate loans
that reprice within one year, with no significant credit risk, are based upon
their carrying amounts. The fair values of all other loans are estimated using
discounted cash flow analysis, which utilizes interest rates currently being
offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The
reserve for possible loan losses is allocated to the various components of the
loan portfolio in determining the fair value.

             FHLB of Atlanta Stock

                  Due to its restrictive nature, the fair value of FHLB of
Atlanta Stock approximates its carrying value.

             Accrued Interest Receivable

                  The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance
sheets is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

             Bank-Owned Life Insurance

                  The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance
sheets represents cash to be received on the surrender value of life insurance
policies and is a reasonable estimate of value.

             Deposits

                  The fair value for demand deposits is, by definition, equal to
the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The carrying amounts for
variable rate deposits and fixed-rate certificates of deposit that reprice
within one year approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values
for longer-term fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using
discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates currently being
offered on certificates.

             Accrued Interest Payable

                  Accrued interest payable includes interest expensed but not
yet paid for deposits and notes payable. The carrying amount approximates its
fair value.

             Long-Term Debt

                  Long-term debt is discounted on a cash flow approach based on
market rates as of December 31, 2005 and 2004.

             Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

                  The fair value of loan commitments and letters of credit was
estimated based upon the estimated amount of unamortized fees collected or paid
incident to granting or receiving the commitment.

materially effected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the

CONTINUING DIRECTORS

         The following information is provided with respect directors who will
continue to serve as directors of the Company until the expiration of their
terms at the times indicated.

                          COMPANY CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
GENERAL

         The Corporation's business is managed under the direction of its Board
of Directors. The Board of Directors seeks to increase stockholder value and
promote the Corporation's long-term growth. The Board of Directors establishes
Corporation policies and strategies and regularly monitors the effectiveness of
the Corporation's management in carrying out these policies and strategies. As
part of the Board of Director's commitment to these principles, the Board of
Directors regularly reviews the Corporation's corporate governance policies and
practices. This review includes comparing the Corporation's current policies and
practices to the policies and practices suggest by various groups and
authorities active in corporate governance and policies and practices of public
companies in general. The Board of Directors will continue to consider the
adoption of changes, as appropriate, to enhance the Corporation's corporate
governance policies and practices and to comply with any rule changes made by
the SEC.

BOARD ORGANIZATION AND OPERATION

         Members of the Board of Directors are kept informed of the Corporation
business through discussions with key member of the Corporation's management
team, by reviewing materials provided to the Board of Directors and by
participating in meetings of the Board and its committees.

         The Board of Directors has adopted standards for director independence
that are in accordance with the standards adopted by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") and utilized by companies with securities
quoted on Nasdaq. The Board of Directors is not required to adhere to the
independence standards adopted by the NASD because the common Stock is not
quoted or listed on Nasdaq or any other quotation system or exchange. The Board
of Directors believes, however, that a board with at least a majority of
independent directors is an important part of good corporate governance
principles. Based on the Board of Directors' adopted standards, the Board of
Directors has determined that none of its members has a material relationship
with the Corporation and that all of its members are independent directors,
except for Messrs. Haskins and Paterakis who are not independent directors
because each is an executive officer of the Corporation. As a result, a
significant majority of the members of the Board of Directors is independent.

         During 2005, the Board of Directors met 12 times. Each of the nominees
and the other directors attended at least 75% of the total Board of Directors
meetings and meetings of the board committees on which he or she served, with
the exception of Mr. Thomas who attended 60% of these meetings. When necessary
or appropriate, the Corporation's independent directors meet in executive
sessions without the presence of the Corporation's management. This gives the
independent directors the opportunity to discuss management's performance and
any other matter that one or more independent directors would like to discuss.

BOARD COMMITTEES

         Each director who serves on the Board of Directors is also a director
on the Bank's Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has one standing
committee: the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee"). The Bank's Board of
Directors has a Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") and an
Executive Committee (the "Executive Committee")

         Audit Committee. The Audit Committee responsibilities include the
appointment of the Corporation's independent accountants, the preapproval of all
audit services and permitted non-audit services provided to the Corporation by
the Corporation's independent accountants, reviews of the independence of the
Corporation's independent accountants, and review of the adequacy of internal
accounting and disclosure controls of the Corporation. The Audit Committee
operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. In 2005, the
Audit Committee met four times. The current members of the Audit Committee are:
Messrs. Vaeth, Chair, Higgs, March, Scott and Tucker. Each member of the Audit
Committee is an independent director as defined by the current NASD rules. Mr.
Scott has the professional experience deemed necessary o qualify as an audit
committee financial expert under the SEC's rules and regulations.

         Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee structures the
compensation of the Corporation's executive officers and administers the
Corporation's employee benefit plans. The Compensation Committee currently does
not operate under written charter. The Compensation Committee met once in 2005.
The current members of the Compensation Committee are: Messrs. Grasmick, Chair,
DeGraffenreidt and St. John. Each member of the Compensation Committee is an
independent director as defined by the current NASD rules.


                                       58


         Executive Committee. The Executive Committee generally has the
authority to exercise all of the power of the Bank's Board of Director in the
management and direction of the business affairs of the Bank, subject to
specific directions of the Bank's Board of Directors and the limitation of
Maryland law. The Executive Committee met 13 times in 2005. The current members
of the Executive Committee are: Messrs. Paterakis, Chair, Haskins,
Degraffenreidt, Grasmick, March, Vaeth and Dr. Kelley. A majority of the members
of the Executive Committee is independent as defined by the current NASD rules.

NOMINATION PROCESS

         The Board of Directors does not have a nominating committee. The full
Board of Directors performs the functions of a nominating committee. The Board
of Directors does not believe it needs a separate nominating committee because
the full Board is comprised predominantly of independent directors and has the
time and resources to perform the function of selecting board nominees. When the
Board of Directors performs nominating function, the Board of Directors acts in
accordance with the Corporation's corporate charter and bylaws but does not have
a separate charter related to the nomination process. Under the Corporation's
charter, nominations for director may be made by the Board of Directors or by a
stockholder of record who delivers notice along with the additional information
and materials required by the Corporation's charter to the Corporation Corporate
Secretary not less then 30 days and no more than 60 days before the annual
meeting date. For the Corporation's annual meeting in 2007, the Corporation must
receive this notice on or after February 18, 2007 and on or before March 20,
2007. The Corporation's stockholders may obtain a copy of the Corporation
charter by writing to the Corporation Corporate Secretary, Harbor Bankshares
Corporation, 25 West Fayette Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21201.

         The Corporation's directors have a critical role in guiding the
Corporation's strategic direction and in overseeing the Corporation's
management. The Board of Directors considers candidates for the Board based upon
several criteria, including their broad-based business and professional skills
and experiences, concern for the long-term interests of stockholders, and
personal integrity and judgment. Candidates should have reputations, both
personal and professional, consistent with the Corporation's image and
reputation. Because diversity is important, the Board of Directors seeks to
ensure that its directors reflect the gender and ethnic diversity of the
Corporation's community. The majority of directors on the Board of Directors
should be "independent," not only as that term may be legally defined, but also
without the appearance of any conflict in serving as a director. In addition,
directors must have time available to devote to Board activities and to enhance
their knowledge of the banking industry. Accordingly, the Board of Directors
seeks to attract and retain highly qualified directors who have sufficient time
to attend to their substantial duties and responsibilities to the Corporation.

         The Board of Directors utilizes the following process for identifying
and evaluating nominees to the Board. In the case of incumbent directors whose
terms of office are set to expire, the Board of Directors review such directors'
overall service to the company during their term, including the number of
meetings attended, level of participation and quality of performance. In the
case of new director candidates, the directors on the Board of Directors are
polled for suggestions as to potential candidates that may meet the criteria
above, discuss candidates suggested by the Corporation's stockholders and may
also engage, if the Board of Directors deems appropriate, a professional search
firm. To date, the Board of Directors has not engaged professional search firms
to identify or evaluate potential nominees but may do so in the future, if
necessary. The Board of Directors then meets to discuss and consider these
candidates' qualifications and then chooses a candidate by a majority vote.

DIRECTOR ATTENDANCE AT THE CORPORATION ANNUAL MEETING

         The Corporation does not have a formal policy regarding attendance by
members of the Board of Director at the Corporation's annual meetings of
stockholders. The Corporation has always encouraged its directors to attend its
annual meetings of stockholders and expects to continue this policy. In 2005, 13
Corporation directors attended the Corporation's annual meeting of stockholders.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATION WITH THE BOARD

         The Corporation does not have a formal process for stockholder
communications with the Board of Directors. The Corporation has made an effort
to ensure that the Board of Directors or individual directors, as applicable,
hear the views of Corporation's stockholders. The Corporation believes that it
has been responsive regarding conveying stockholder communications to the Board
of Directors.

MR. HASKINS' EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT AND RETIREMENT BENEFIT

         Joseph Haskins, Jr. has an employment agreement with the Corporation
and the Bank for a four-year term commencing as of January 1, 2000, which term
may be automatically renewed for additional three-year terms unless earlier
terminated. The employment agreement provides that Mr. Haskins will serve as
Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation
and Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank at an annual
salary of $182,330, subject to annual increases approved by the Corporation and
the Bank. Under the employment agreement, Mr. Haskins may also receive an annual
incentive bonus based upon the attainment of goals and objectives set by the
Corporation's Board of Directors. If the minimum level of such goals and
objectives is not met, Mr. Haskins will not be entitled to an incentive bonus.
If the Corporation's Board of Directors awards Mr. Haskins an incentive bonus,
the amount of the bonus will range from 60% to 100% of Mr. Haskins's then
current salary, as determined by the Board of Directors. In addition to the
benefit programs, plans, and arrangements of the Corporation and the Bank
generally available to their employees and the normal perquisites provided to
their senior executive officers, the employment agreement provides that Mr.
Haskins will receive long-term disability insurance, life insurance, and an
automobile allowance. Further, the Corporation must maintain a key man life
insurance policy on the life of Mr. Haskins in order to provide the funds
necessary to buy his shares of Corporation Common Stock from his estate or his
heirs.


                                       61


         If the Corporation terminates Mr. Haskins' employment because he
becomes disabled, the Corporation will continue to provide Mr. Haskins with
long-term disability insurance and medical and group life insurance until he
attains age 65. Upon termination without cause or resignation with good reason
(as those terms are used in the employment agreement), Mr. Haskins would be
entitled to (1) severance pay equal to three times his base salary at the time
of termination, payable in three equal annual installments, the first of which
is due within 30 day of termination, (2) a pro rated bonus based upon the bonus
paid in the year prior to termination or resignation, and (3) immediate vesting
of his outstanding options. If Mr. Haskins voluntarily resigns without good
reason or if the Corporation terminates his employment for cause, the
Corporation would not have any further obligations to Mr. Haskins under his
employment agreement.

         The Corporation must pay a change of control benefit to Mr. Haskins if
either (1) within 12 months after a change of control of the Corporation, the
Corporation terminates Mr. Haskins' employment without cause or Mr. Haskins
terminate his employment for good reason or (2) within 30 days after the
expiration of six month after the change in control, Mr. Haskins' terminates his
employment for any reason. The change of control benefit would equal the greater
of (1) 2.99 times the average of Mr. Haskins' gross compensation from the
Corporation over the five-year period before the termination or (2) the amount
Mr. Haskins would receive if he was terminated without cause, as described in
the prior paragraph. Further, in such event, Mr. Haskins would be entitled to
the immediate vesting of his options.

         Mr. Haskins may be entitled to receive a retirement benefit under an
executive supplemental retirement plan. Mr. Haskins will receive 15 annual
payment of the greater of (1) 63% of his final base salary or (2) $200,000,
payable at the time of retirement, if he retires at or after age 62. Mr. Haskins
will receive 15 annual payments, each payment being equal to 63% of his final
base salary, payable at the time of retirement or termination (or in the case of
a disability, at the age of 65), if before age 62:

             o  Mr. Haskins terminates his employment for good reason or, within
                30 days after the expiration of six months after a change of
                control of the Corporation, Mr. Haskins terminates his
                employment with or without good reason; or

             o  the Corporation terminates Mr. Haskins' employment without cause
                or because of a disability.

         If Mr. Haskins terminates his employment before age 62 without good
         reason, Mr. Haskins will be entitled to a prorated amount of 63% of his
         final base salary based upon the number of years he provided services
         to the Corporation from the year 2000 until such time has he retires.
         However, if the Corporation terminates Mr. Haskins' employment for
         cause, Mr. Haskins will forfeit his retirement benefit. In the event of
         Mr. Haskins' death, Mr. Haskins' beneficiaries would be entitled to
         receive the reminder of the retirement benefit should he die before
         receipt of the full retirement benefit.

the Bank in 1998.

         Mr. Hernandez may be entitled to receive a retirement benefit under an
executive supplemental retirement plan. Mr. Hernandez will receive 15 annual
payments of $40,000, payable at the time of retirement, if he retires at or
after age 65. Mr. Hernandez will receive 15 annual payments, in amounts ranging

any reason (other than a Bank-approved leave of absence), Mr. Hernandez will be
entitled to receive the same benefit as if he retired at or after age 65. Mr.
Hernandez's beneficiaries would be entitled to receive the remainder of the
retirement benefit should he die before receipt of the full retirement benefit.

Hernandez's beneficiaries would be entitled to receive a lump sum payment

Item 12.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

         During the past year the Bank has had loan transactions in the ordinary
course of its banking business with directors and executive officers of the Bank
and with their affiliates. Loans to such persons were made in the ordinary
course of business and did not and do not currently involve more than the normal
risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. All such loans
were made on substantially the same terms including interest rates and
collateral requirements, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with non-affiliates. The bank expects to enter into such
transaction in the future. As of December 31, 2005, loans to directors and
executive officers of the Bank, and their affiliates, including loans guaranteed
by such persons and unfunded commitments made in 2005, aggregated $13,468,000 or

non-audit services proved by the independent public accountants. These services
may include audit services, and audit-related services, tax services and other
services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any
pre-approval is derailed as to the particular service or category of services
and is generally subject to a specific budget. The Audit Committee has delegated
pre-approval authority to its Chair when expedition of services is necessary.
The Chair is required to report any decision to pre-approve such services to the
full Audit Committee at its next meeting. The independent public accountants and
management are required to periodically report to the full Audit Committee
regarding the extent of services provided by the independent public accountants
in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to
date.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2006

Note A: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Harbor Bankshares Corporation and subsidiaries (The “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10 – QSB. Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts previously reported to conform to the classifications made in 2006. Accordingly, they do not include all the information required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and reclassifications considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal renewable nature. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. The enclosed unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto incorporated by reference in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 – KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Note B: Comprehensive Income

The Company’s comprehensive income consists of its net income and unrealized holding losses on its available for sale securities, net of taxes.

Presented below is a reconciliation of net income to comprehensive income.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Note C: Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Basic earnings per share does not include the effect of potentially dilutive transactions or conversions. This computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of earnings per share under the treasury stock method, which could occur if contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options, were exercised and shared in corporate earnings. At March 31, 2006 and 2005, there were no antidilutive options to purchase common shares.

The following table presents a summary of per share data and amounts for the period indicated:

	Three Months Ended
	2006		2005
	(amount in thousands except per-share data)
Basic:
Net income applicable to common stock	$	447	$	294
Average common shares outstanding		680		697

Note D: EMPLOYEE STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Effective on January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (Statement 123R), which requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Previously, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation plans and the employee stock purchase plan in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related Interpretations and provided the required pro forma disclosures of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. The Company elected to adopt the modified prospective-transition method as provided by Statement 123R. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized during 2006 includes (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Statement 123R. The effect of applying Statement 123R was a decrease to net income of $10 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share. Results for prior periods have not been restated.

The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement 123R to stock-based employee compensation for the period ended March 31, 2005:

	Three months Ended 3/31/05

The following are the assumptions made in computing the fair value of stock-based awards:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2006			2005
Average risk-free interest rate		4.36	%		5.00	%
Dividend yield		1.50	%		1.50	%
Expected term		10			10
Average expected volatility		20	%		20	%
Weighted average fair value of granted options		7.44			6.78

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

A summary of stock option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and related information is included in the table below:

	Options			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2006		132,741			16.24	$	2,159,300
Granted		6,043			25.00		151,075
Exercised		—
Forfeited		(15,500	)		16.19		(250,945	)
Outstanding at March 31, 2006		123,284			16.70		2,059,430
Exercisable at March 31, 2006		123,284			16.70		2,059,430
Weighted-average remaining contractual life		7.6

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $25.00 per share. All options granted have an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Exercise prices for options outstanding as of March 31, 2006 ranged from $15.24 to $25.00 as follows:

-9-

HARBOR BANKSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Range of Exercise Prices	Options Outstanding		Weighted Average Exercise Prices of Options Outstanding		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life of Options Outstanding
$15.24 – $17.35		99,853	$	15.45		5.35
$18.00 – $21.69		12,497	$	20.24		7.65
$23.04 – $25.00		10,934	$	24.44		9.73
		123,284

Assuming that no additional share-based payments are granted after March 31, 2006, unamortized stock compensation expense of $40,614 will be recognized in the statement of operations over a weighted average period of 1.73 years.

Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements. This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and other portions of this report include forward-looking statements such as: statements of the Company’s goals, intentions, and expectations; estimates of risks and of future costs and benefits; assessments of loan quality, and probable loan losses, liquidity, and interest risk; and statements of the Company’s ability to achieve financial and other goals. These forward-looking statements are subject to significant uncertainties because they are based upon: the amount and timing of future changes in interest rates, market behaviors, and other economic conditions; future laws and regulations; and a variety of other matters. Because of these uncertainties, the actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. In addition, the Company’s past growth and performance do not necessarily indicate its future results.

Harbor Bankshares Corporation’s earnings for the first quarter of 2006 totaled $447 thousand, reflecting an increase of $153 thousand or 52.0 percent when compared to the first quarter of 2005. For the first quarter of 2006, the annualized return on average assets (ROAA) and average stockholders equity (ROAE) were .70 percent and 10.64 percent respectively, compared to .50 percent and 7.29 percent respectively achieved during the first quarter of 2005.

For the first quarter of 2006, net interest income increased by $113 thousand or 4.2 percent. Interest and fees on loans increased by $610 thousand or 19.3 percent as a result of the growth in the portfolio and rate increases. Investment income decreased by $12 thousand or 5.5 percent. Interest on Federal Funds sold increased by $125 thousand or 480.7 percent. Interest expense increased by $603 thousand or 81.2 percent. Interest on time deposits increased by $228 thousand or 62.4 percent. Interest expense on saving accounts increased by $346 thousand or 131.5 percent. Although, deposits as of March 31, 2006 decreased when compared to December 31, 2005, higher interest rates led to an overall interest expense increase in deposits. The interest expense of borrowed funds for the quarter was $1 thousand. The interest expense for the junior subordinated debentures increased by $33 thousand or 34.0 percent due to higher interest rates, since the debentures are tied to floating rates.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the provision for loan losses was $55 thousand compared to $120 thousand for the same period of 2005. Charge-offs totaled $10 thousand reflecting a decrease of $3 thousand when compared to the $13 thousand charged-off during the same period for 2005. Recoveries for the period were $2 thousand, compared to $38 thousand recovered during the first quarter of 2005.

Future provisions for loan losses will continue to be based upon our assessment of the overall loan portfolio and its underlying collateral, the mix of loans within the portfolio, delinquency trends, economic conditions, current and prospective trends in real estate values, and other relevant factors under our allowance methodology.

Our allowance for loan loss methodology is a loan classification-based system. We base the required allowance on a percentage of the loan balance for each type of loan classification level. Allowance percentages are based on each individual lending program, its loss history and underwriting characteristics including loan value, credit score, debt coverage, collateral, and capacity to service debt.

This analysis is used to validate the loan loss reserve matrix as well as assist in establishing overall lending direction. In Management’s opinion, the allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2006 is adequate. There

-11-

HARBOR BANKSHARES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

were no changes in estimation methods or assumptions that affected the methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance during the period.

Non-performing assets consist of non-accruing loans, loans past due 90 days or more but still accruing, restructured loans, and foreclosed real estate.

The following table shows the non-performing assets as of March 31, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005.

	March 31, 2006			December 31, 2005
	(In Thousands)
Non-accruing Loans	$	200		$	558
Past Due 90 days or more		46			18
Restructured loans		–			–
Total non-performing loans		246			576
Foreclosed real estate		–			–
Total non-performing assets	$	246		$	576
Non-performing loans to total loans		0.12	%		0.30	%
Non-performing assets to total assets		0.45	%		0.22	%
Allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans		855.69	%		357.50	%

Non-interest income decreased by $117 thousand or 23.8 percent. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased by $70 thousand or 29.4 percent, mainly related to decreases in the returned check fees charges. Other income decreased by $45 thousand or 17.7 percent. There was a loss of $2 thousand on the sale of loans during the first quarter of 2006. Salary and employee benefits at $1.2 million increased by $65 thousand when compared to the same period of 2005. Advertising cost of $89 thousand increased slightly by $2 thousand. Occupancy expense increased by $116 thousand or 54.2 percent reflecting the cost associated with the renovation of the Corporation’s headquarter building and a de-novo branch facility opened during the last quarter of 2005. Equipment expenses decreased by $1 thousand or 1.1 percent. Professional cost decreased by $133 thousand or 70.7 percent mainly due to a decrease in legal cost associated with the ATM shortage settlement. Data processing fees increased by $13 thousand or 5.0 percent. Included in non-interest expenses for the quarter ending March 31, 2005 was a $225 thousand expense related to a final settlement of the ATM shortage. On April 8, 2005, the Bank settled this matter in return for the payment of $575 thousand. All other expenses decreased by $20 thousand or 4.8 percent.

As of March 31, 2006, total deposits were $222 million, reflecting a decrease of $7.9 million when compared to deposits as of December 31, 2005. Non-interest bearing deposits decreased by $3.5 million or 6.9 percent. Interest bearing transaction accounts decreased by $2.9 million or 11.5 percent. Savings accounts which included money market accounts decreased by $1.8 million or 2.0 percent and time deposits increased by $238 thousand or 0.4 percent. There was $3.0 million of other short term borrowings outstanding as of the quarter end.

Total loans, increased by $12.4 million or 6.5 percent. The increase was mainly reflected in the commercial loans and commercial real estate categories. Stockholder’s equity decreased by $189 thousand or 1.1 percent, resulting from an increase of $43 thousand of unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, cash dividend paid in the amount of $343 thousand, retirement of 10,000 shares or $250 thousand of common stock, offset by earnings of $447 thousand. Primary and risk based capital were 7.2 percent and 11.14 percent, respectively.

As of March 31, 2006, based on borrowing arrangements with the Federal Home Loan Bank there was unused credit availability of $22.0 million, the Corporation has sufficient liquidity to withstand any unusual demand of funds without the liquidation of its securities.

Recent Development

On May 2, 2006, the Corporation filed a preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the 2006 annual shareholders’ meeting, at which shareholders would be asked (i) to approve a merger designed to allow the Corporation to no longer be subject to periodic and other reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and (ii) to reelect four Class II directors.
