                                FAIRNESS OPINION





                          HARBOR BANKSHARES CORPORATION
                               BALTIMORE, MARYLAND
                                FAIRNESS OPINION
                              AS OF AUGUST 29, 2006

         Set forth herein is Danielson Associates Inc.'s ("Danielson
Associates") updated independent appraisal of the "fair" market value of the
common stock of Harbor Bankshares Corporation ("Harbor" or "the Bank") of
Baltimore, Maryland as of August 29, 2006. The original opinion was dated
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 based on data supplied by Harbor to Danielson
Associates and its regulators, but it also relies on some public information.
All information received 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").


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


         Based on these updated 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 August 29, 2006 is between $30.53 and $32.17 per
share with the midpoint being $31.35 per share. Any price in this range would be
fair to current shareholders.


                                            Respectfully submitted,


                                            /s/ David G. Danielson
                                            David G. Danielson, President
                                            Danielson Associates Inc.
