Explanatory Note
 
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A is being filed to revise Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that was filed by Harris Preferred Capital Corporation (the “Company”) on May 15, 2008 (the “Report”) to correct our discussion regarding the techniques used to measure fair value of certain U.S. Treasury and Federal Agency securities investments within the “Accounting Pronouncements” section of this item. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy to categorize the inputs used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 relies on the use of quoted market prices, Level 2 relies on internal models using observable market information as inputs, and Level 3 relies on internal models without observable market information. In the second full paragraph of the “Accounting Pronouncements” section, the amendment corrects a typographical error in the Report to accurately reflect that the Company has investments in U.S. Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities that are classified in Level 1 and Level 2, respectively, of the fair value hierarchy. This revision now conforms to the disclosure included in Footnote 4 to the March 31, 2008 Financial Statements. Exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 32.1 hereto have been provided with respect to and in light of the disclosure being amended.
 
Except for the revision above, no other information included in the Report is being amended. This amendment does not reflect events occurring after May 15, 2008, the filing date of the Report, or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Among other things, forward-looking statement made in the Report have not been revised to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to the Company after the filing of the Report, and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context. Accordingly, this amendment should be read in conjunction with the Report and the Company’s other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the Report.

Harris Preferred Capital Corporation (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation whose principal business objective is to acquire, hold, finance and manage qualifying real estate investment trust (“REIT”) assets (the “Mortgage Assets”), consisting of a limited recourse note or notes (the “Notes”) issued by Harris N.A. (the “Bank”) secured by real estate mortgage assets (the “Securing Mortgage Loans”) and other obligations secured by real property, as well as certain other qualifying REIT assets, primarily U.S. treasury securities and securities collateralized with real estate mortgages. The Company holds its assets through a Maryland real estate investment trust subsidiary, Harris Preferred Capital Trust. Harris Capital Holdings, Inc., owns 100% of the Company’s common stock. The Bank owns all common stock outstanding issued by Harris Capital Holdings, Inc.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management from the books and records of the Company. These statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented and should be read in conjunction with the notes to financial statements included in the Company’s 2007 Form 10-K. Certain reclassifications were made to conform prior years’ financial statements to the current year’s presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4.  Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” as of January 1, 2008. The Statement clarifies the methods for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy and requires expanded disclosure. It applies when other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The adoption of the Statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. The FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” in February 2008. The FSP delayed the effective date of FAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15,

2008. The Company adopted FSP 157-2 upon issuance. As of March 31, 2008, no nonrecurring, nonfinancial assets and liabilities were measured at fair value for which the Company has not applied the provisions of FAS 157.
 
The Company uses a fair value hierarchy to categorize the inputs used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 relies on the use of quoted market prices, Level 2 relies on internal models using observable market information as inputs, and Level 3 relies on internal models without observable market information. The Company has investments in U.S. Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities that are classified in Level 1 and Level 2, respectively, of the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2008 are presented in the following table.

Results of Operations
 
First Quarter 2008 Compared with First Quarter 2007
 
The Company’s net income for the first quarter of 2008 was $5.3 million, compared to $5.5 million from the first quarter 2007. Earnings decreased primarily because of the lower interest yields on earning assets in the first quarter 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.
 
Interest income on securities purchased under agreement to resell for the first quarter of 2008 was $634 thousand, on an average balance of $69 million, with an annualized yield of 3.69%. During the same period in 2007, the interest income on securities purchased under agreement to resell was $859 thousand, on an average balance of $69 million, with an annualized yield of 4.96%. The decrease in income was attributable to lower yields due to the Fed Funds targeted rate adjustments made by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve. The Fed Funds rate at

HARRIS PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
 
March 31, 2008 were 2.25% compared to the Fed Funds rate at March 31, 2007 of 5.25%. First quarter 2008 interest income on the Notes totaled $82 thousand and yielded 6.4% on $5.1 million of average principal outstanding for the quarter compared to $97 thousand and a 6.4% yield on $6.1 million average principal outstanding for first quarter 2007. The decrease in income was attributable to a reduction in the Notes balance because of customer payoffs on the Securing Mortgage Loans. At March 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no Securing Mortgage Loans on nonaccrual status. Interest income on securities available-for-sale for the current quarter was $4.7 million resulting in a yield of 4.5% on an average balance of $413 million, compared to $4.7 million with a yield of 4.6% on an average balance of $406 million for the same period a year ago.
 
There were no Company borrowings during first quarter 2008 or 2007.
 
First quarter 2008 operating expenses totaled $141 thousand, an increase of $25 thousand or 22% from the first quarter of 2007. General and administrative expenses totaled $98 thousand, an increase of $18 thousand over the same period in 2007, primarily due to increases in the insurance costs, regulatory filings and processing costs. Advisory fees for the first quarter 2008 were $39 thousand compared to $31 thousand a year earlier, primarily due to increase in filing production costs. Loan servicing expenses totaled $4 thousand, a decrease of $1 thousand from a year ago. This decrease is attributable to the reduction in the principal balance of the Notes, thereby reducing servicing fees payable to the Bank.
 
On March 31, 2008, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.46094 per share on outstanding Preferred Shares to the stockholders of record on March 15, 2008 as declared on March 5, 2008. On January 4, 2008, the Company paid a cash dividend of $3 million declared on December 21, 2007 on the outstanding common shares to the stockholder of record on December 28, 2007. On March 30, 2007, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.46094 per share on outstanding Preferred Shares to the stockholders of record on March 15, 2007 as declared on March 2, 2007. On January 2, 2007, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.46094 per share on the outstanding Preferred Shares to the stockholders of record on December 15, 2006 as declared on November 30, 2006.
 
The company classifies all securities as available-for-sale. The Company has no intent to sell specific securities, and the Company has the ability to hold all securities to maturity. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. At March 31, 2008, net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities were $3.4 million compared to $6.4 million of unrealized losses on March 31, 2007 and $1 million of unrealized losses at December 31, 2007. The unrealized gain positions for individual securities at March 31, 2008 and the unrealized loss position at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2007 were attributable to changes in interest rates and not to lowered credit quality of those securities; therefore, management believes these losses are temporary.
 
In making a determination of temporary vs. other-than-temporary impairment of an investment, a major consideration of management is whether the Company will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the investment. Such a determination involves estimation of the outcome of future events as well as knowledge and experience about past and current events. Factors considered include the following: whether the fair value is significantly below cost and the decline is attributable to specific adverse conditions in an industry or geographic area; the period of time the decline in fair value has existed; if an outside rating agency has downgraded the investment; if dividends have been reduced or eliminated; if scheduled interest payments have not been made and finally, whether the financial condition of the issuer has deteriorated. In addition, it may be necessary for the Company to demonstrate its ability and intent to hold a debt security to maturity.
 
Liquidity Risk Management
 
The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all of the Company’s financial commitments. In managing liquidity, the Company takes into account various legal limitations placed on a REIT.
 
The Company’s principal asset management requirements are to maintain the current earning asset portfolio size through the acquisition of additional Notes or other qualifying assets in order to pay dividends to its

HARRIS PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
 
stockholders after satisfying obligations to creditors. The acquisition of additional Notes or other qualifying assets is funded with the proceeds obtained as a result of repayment of principal balances of individual Securing Mortgage Loans or maturities or sales of securities. The payment of dividends on the Preferred Shares is made from legally available funds, arising from operating activities of the Company. The Company’s cash flows from operating activities principally consist of the collection of interest on the Notes, mortgage-backed securities and other earning assets. The Company does not have and does not anticipate having any material capital expenditures.
 
In order to remain qualified as a REIT, the Company must distribute annually at least 90% of its adjusted REIT ordinary taxable income, as provided for under the Internal Revenue Code, to its common and preferred stockholders. The Company currently expects to distribute dividends annually equal to 90% or more of its adjusted REIT ordinary taxable income.
 
The Company anticipates that cash and cash equivalents on hand and the cash flow from the Notes and mortgage-backed treasury securities will provide adequate liquidity for its operating, investing and financing needs including the capacity to continue preferred dividend payments on an uninterrupted basis.
 
As presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the primary sources of funds in addition to $4.9 million provided from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2008, were $121.2 million from the maturities of securities available-for-sale.

Market Risk Management
 
The Company’s market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk. There have been no material changes in market risk or the manner in which the Company manages market risk since December 31, 2007.
 
Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” as of January 1, 2008. The Statement clarifies the methods for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy and requires expanded disclosure. It applies when other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The adoption of the Statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operation. The FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” in February 2008. The FSP delayed the effective date of FAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted FSP 157-2 upon issuance. As of March 31, 2008, no nonrecurring, nonfinancial assets and liabilities were measured at fair value for which the Company has not applied the provisions of FAS 157.
 
The Company uses a fair value hierarchy to categorize the inputs used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 relies on the use of quoted market prices, Level 2 relies on internal models using observable market information as inputs, and Level 3 relies on internal models without observable market information. The Company has investments in U.S. Treasury securities and mortgaged-backed securities that are classified in Level 1 and Level 2, respectively, of the fair value hierarchy.
 
The Company adopted FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, as of January 1, 2008. The Statement permits entities to choose to measure certain eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

HARRIS N.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  Basis of Presentation
 
Harris N.A. (the “Bank”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris Bankcorp, Inc. (“Bankcorp”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris Financial Corp., a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Bank of Montreal. The consolidated financial statements of the Bank include the accounts of the Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications were made to conform prior year’s financial statements to the current year’s presentation.
 
On May 12, 2007 Bankcorp consolidated one of its bank subsidiaries, First National Bank and Trust (“FNBT”), with and into the Bank. This transaction was recorded at its carrying value and prior year financial statements have been restated to include operations from the time FNBT was initially acquired by Bankcorp. Bankcorp acquired FNBT on January 4, 2007.
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management from the books and records of the Bank, without audit by independent certified public accountants. However, these statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.
 
Because the results of operations are so closely related to and responsive to changes in economic conditions, the results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire year.
 
2.  Legal Proceedings
 
The Bank and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based on the advice of legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s consolidated financial position.
 
3.  Cash Flows
 
In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and demand balances due from banks, interest-bearing deposits at banks and federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreement to resell. Cash interest payments for the three months ended March 31 totaled $285.4 million and $335.2 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively. Cash income tax payments over the same periods totaled $26.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively.
 
In 2007, the Bank changed the composition of cash and cash equivalents, previously defined as cash and due from banks to include interest-bearing deposits at banks and federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreement to resell. The change in policy is a change in accounting principle and was retrospectively applied to the 2007 consolidated statements of cash flow.
 
4.  Restructuring Charge
 
During the first quarter of 2007, the Bank recorded a restructuring charge of $13.7 million, which is part of a $15.4 million restructuring charge for Harris Bankcorp, Inc., in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The objectives of the restructuring were to enhance customer service by directing spending and resources on front-line sales and service improvements, creating more effective processes and systems across the Bank and continuing accelerating the pace of the Bank’s growth.
 
The charge related to the elimination of approximately 200 positions in primarily non-customer-facing areas of the Bank across all support functions and business groups. Of the charge, $11.5 million related to severance related costs and $2.2 million was associated with premises related charges.

In October 2007, the Bank recorded an additional restructuring charge of $6.3 million in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The additional charge relates to 40 positions across all support functions and business groups and is all severance related.
 
At March 31, 2008, $6.1 million remained in other liabilities compared to $7.1 million as of December 31, 2007 and $11.2 million as of March 31, 2007 on the Consolidated Statements of Condition related to amounts to be paid in future periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 a reversal of $141,000 was recorded relating to the restructuring liability.
 
5.  Visa Indemnification Charge
 
Harris N.A. was a member of Visa U.S.A. Inc. (Visa U.S.A.) and in 2007 received shares of restricted stock in Visa, Inc. (Visa) as a result of its participation in the global restructuring of Visa U.S.A., Visa Canada Association, and Visa International Service Association in preparation for an initial public offering by Visa. Harris N.A. and other Visa U.S.A. member banks were obligated to share in potential losses resulting from certain indemnified litigation involving Visa that has been settled.
 
A member bank such as Harris N.A. was also required to recognize the contingent obligation to indemnify Visa under Visa’s bylaws (as those bylaws were modified at the time of the Visa restructuring on October 3, 2007), for potential losses arising from the other indemnified litigation that has not yet settled at its estimated fair value in accordance FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” Harris N.A. is not a direct party to this litigation and does not have access to any specific, non-public information concerning the matters that are the subject of the indemnification obligations. While the estimation of any potential losses was highly judgmental, as of December 31, 2007, Harris N.A. recorded a liability and corresponding charge for the remaining litigation.
 
The total Visa indemnification charges recognized in 2007 by Harris N.A. amounted to $34.0 million (pretax). The initial public offering (IPO) occurred on March 25, 2008 followed by a mandatory partial redemption of Harris’ restricted stock in Visa that took place in two parts: exchange for cash and funding of the covered litigation escrow account.
 
During the first quarter of 2008, the Bank received $37.8 million in cash in conjunction with the mandatory partial redemption which was recognized as an equity security gain in the Consolidated Statements of Income since there was no basis in the stock. In addition, Visa funded the U.S. litigation escrow account with IPO proceeds. The Bank’s share of the U.S. litigation escrow account funding was $17.0 million which was recognized as a reversal to the Bank’s 2007 litigation reserve and as a decrease to other non-interest expenses. As of March 31, 2008 the recorded litigation reserve included in the Consolidated Statements of Condition was $17.0 million.
 
6.  Fair Value Measurements
 
The Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” as of January 1, 2008. The Statement clarifies the methods for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy and requires expanded disclosure. It applies when other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The adoption of the Statement did not have a material effect on the Bank’s financial position or results of operation. The FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” in February 2008. The FSP delayed the effective date of FAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Bank adopted FSP 157-2 upon issuance and, as a result, as of March 31, 2008, the Bank delayed adopting the provisions of FAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring

basis, including goodwill and other intangible assets. Disclosure of fair value measurements will be included in the footnotes to the Bank’s December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements.
 
7.  Fair Value Option
 
The Bank adopted FAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, as of January 1, 2008. The Statement permits entities to choose to measure certain eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. The Bank did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
 
8.  Accounting for Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements
 
The FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-04, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” in September 2006. It requires recognition of a liability and related compensation costs for endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements that provide employee benefits in postretirement periods. The EITF is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Bank has endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements for certain employees and has adopted this Statement in the first quarter of 2008. There was no material impact in the Consolidated Statements of Income and in the Consolidated Statements of Condition retained earnings.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
 
First Quarter 2008 Compared with First Quarter 2007
 
Summary
 
The Bank’s first quarter 2008 net income was $75.3 million, an increase of $35.6 million or 89.8 percent from $39.7 million in the first quarter of 2007.
 
First quarter 2008 net interest income was $216.9 million, up $5.7 million or 2.7 percent from $211.2 million in the first quarter of 2007. Net interest margin increased to 2.47 percent in the first quarter of 2008 from 2.36 percent in the first quarter of 2007, primarily reflecting a lower cost of interest-bearing liabilities specifically in borrowings due to interest rate cuts in the market. Net interest margin increase is partially offset by a 0.6 percent decrease in average earning assets which fell to $37.0 billion in 2008 from $37.9 billion in 2007, due in part to a decrease of $1.5 billion in securities available for sale offset by an increase in federal funds sold of $533.4 million.
 
First quarter 2008 provision for loan losses was $22.9 million compared to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2007. Net charge-offs increased to $17.2 million from $8.5 million in the prior year, reflecting higher write-offs primarily in the real estate loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses takes into account portfolio quality and management’s estimate of probable loan losses.
 
First quarter 2008 non-interest income was $147.7 million, an increase of $45.5 million from $102.2 million or 44.5 percent from the first quarter of 2007. This was primarily attributable to a $39.8 million increase in equity securities gains due largely to our participation in the Visa initial public offering (note 5), an $11.4 increase in net securities gains and an increase in service charges and fees of $3.2 million. The increases were partially offset by declines in money market and bond trading revenues of $3.3 million, inter-company services fees of $4.2 million and letters of credit income of $1.4 million.
 
First quarter 2008 non-interest expenses were $236.1 million, a decrease of $26.6 million or 10.1 percent from $262.7 million in the first quarter of 2007, driven by the $13.7 million first quarter 2007 restructuring charge (note 4) and the $17.0 million first quarter 2008 share of the Visa litigation escrow account funding (note 5). Excluding these two items expenses increased $4.1 million or 1.7 percent from the first quarter of 2007. The increase was attributable to a $5.6 million increase in salaries and other compensation, a $3.7 million increase in net occupancy primarily due to building maintenance (including increases in snow removal expenses), a $2.5 million increase in outside information processing included in other non-interest expenses and a $1.9 million increase in expert service expenses. These increases were partially offset by the decline in inter-company service costs of $12.7 million. Income tax expense increased $22.2 million from the first quarter of 2007, reflecting higher pretax income.
 
Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2008 were $435.4 million or 1.67 percent of total loans, up from $304.3 million or 1.19 percent at December 31, 2007 and $204.0 million or 0.79 percent from the first quarter of 2007. At March 31, 2008, the allowance for loan losses was $373.2 million, equal to 1.43 percent of loans outstanding, compared to $325.9 million or 1.26 percent of loans outstanding at the end of first quarter 2007. As a result, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming assets decreased from 159.7 percent at March 31, 2007 to 85.7 percent at March 31, 2008.
 
At March 31, 2008 consolidated stockholder’s equity of the Bank amounted to $3.86 billion, up slightly from $3.79 billion at December 31, 2007. No common stock was issued during the first quarter 2008, and $12.1 million of common stock was issued during the first quarter of 2007 in conjunction with the FNBT transaction (note 1). Return on equity was 5.78 percent in the current quarter, compared to 4.68 percent in last year’s first quarter. Return on assets was 0.54 percent compared to 0.39 percent a year ago. The Bank declared and paid $8.0 million in dividends on common stock in the first quarter of 2008 compared to $28.0 million declared in the first quarter of 2007 and paid in the second quarter of 2007.
 
At March 31, 2008, Tier 1 capital of the Bank amounted to $3.64 billion, up from $3.44 billion one year earlier. The Bank’s March 31, 2008 Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 10.75 percent and 12.71 percent

compared to respective ratios of 9.82 percent and 11.59 percent at March 31, 2007. The regulatory leverage capital ratio was 8.99 percent for the first quarter of 2008 compared to 8.40 percent in the same quarter of 2007. The Bank’s capital ratios exceed the prescribed regulatory minimum for banks.
