BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 27, 2004--Harbor Global Company Ltd. ("Harbor Global" or the
"Company") (OTC BB:HRBGF) reported a net loss of $0.6 million ($0.11 per share) on revenues of $3.3 million in
the first quarter of 2004 compared with net income of $1.8 million ($0.32 per share) on revenues of $2.5 million for the
first quarter of 2003. The $2.4 million decrease in income was attributable principally to a non-recurring 2003 gain of
$1.3 million from the early settlement of the Company's $5 million note payable to Pioneer Asset Management USA
Inc. for $3.75 million and a $0.9 million decrease in lower portfolio gains from the Russian real estate management and
investment management operations.
