Supplemental disclosure of additional non-cash activities:

During the first quarter of 2003, the Company acquired foreclosed assets of $220
in  lieu of  loan  payments.  In the  third  quarter  of  2003,  these  acquired
foreclosed assets were written down to an expected market value of $200.

At September 30, 2003, the Company had a balance of net  unrealized  income from
available-for-sale securities of $62. The balance at December 31, 2002 was a net
unrealized loss on available-for-sale  securities of $257. Net unrealized income
and losses on  available-for-sale  securities  are shown as  "accumulated  other
comprehensive  income  (loss)"  on  the  Condensed  Consolidated  Statements  of
Financial Condition.  The change in net unrealized losses on  available-for-sale
securities  between the two periods  resulted in a $319 increase in  accumulated
other comprehensive income.

                    WEBFINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
           (All numbers except shares and per share data in thousands)

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Basis of  Presentation-- The accompanying  interim  condensed  consolidated
financial  statements of  WebFinancial  Corporation  and its  subsidiaries  (the
"Company")  are  unaudited  and  have  been  prepared  in  conformity  with  the
requirements of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),  particularly  Rule 10-01 thereof,  which
governs the presentation of interim financial statements.  Accordingly,  they do
not  include  all  of the  information  and  footnotes  required  by  accounting
principles  generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying
interim  condensed   consolidated   financial   statements  should  be  read  in
conjunction with the Company's  significant  accounting policies as set forth in
Note 1 to the consolidated  financial  statements in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year  ended  December  31,  2002  (the  "2002  10-K").  The
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at December 31, 2002 was
extracted from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements contained
in the 2002  Form  10-K,  and does  not  include  all  disclosures  required  by
accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United  States of America for
annual consolidated financial statements.

     In the opinion of  management,  all  adjustments  are  comprised  of normal
recurring  accruals necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial
statements.  Operating  results for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ending December 31, 2003.

2.   ORGANIZATION AND RELATIONSHIPS

     The consolidated  financial  statements include the financial statements of
WebFinancial Corporation and its subsidiaries: WebFinancial Holding Corporation,
a wholly owned  subsidiary  of the Company  ("Holdings"),  WebBank  ("WebBank"),
Praxis Investment Advisers,  Inc. ("Praxis"),  WebFinancial  Government Lending,
Inc. ("Lending"),  and Web Film Financial, Inc. ("Film"),  collectively referred
to as the Company. WebBank is a Utah-chartered industrial loan corporation,  and
is subject to  comprehensive  regulation,  examination,  and  supervision by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), and the State of Utah Department
of Financial  Institutions.  WebBank provides  commercial and consumer specialty
finance  services.   All  inter-company  accounts  and  transactions  have  been
eliminated in consolidation.

3.   OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

     Other comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during
a period from  transactions  and other events not included in net income (loss),
excluding changes  resulting from investments by owners (e.g.,  supplement stock
offerings) and distributions to owners (e.g., dividends).

     As of September 30, 2003,  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income (loss)
consisted of the following:

     Balance at December 31, 2002                                  $  (257)
     Net change during  the period related                             319
               to unrealized holding gains                         -------
               on securities available-
               for-sale arising during the
               period.

     Balance at September 30, 2003                                 $     62
                                                                   ========

                                       8




4.   OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating  segments  represent  components of an enterprise about which separate
financial  information  is available  that is  evaluated  regularly by the chief
executive  officer  in  deciding  how to  allocate  resources  and in  assessing
performance.

The Company evaluates segment performance internally based on lines of business.
The  Company  has  identified  two  operating  segments.  The first is  accounts
receivable  factoring.  The second operating  segment,  termed "other," includes
commercial lending, fee for services,  and investment  activities.  The accounts
receivable factoring segment is defined as the program operated by WebBank under
sourcing and servicing  agreements  with two factoring  companies.  Purchases of
factored  accounts  receivable  made by any other entity  within the Company are
included in the other  segment.  As of  September  30,  2003 and 2002,  accounts
receivable factoring balances of $0 and $1,160,000,  respectively,  were held by
entities of the Company other than WebBank.

The following is a summary of selected  operating  segment  information  for the
three months and nine months ended  September 30, 2003 and 2002. The information
represents  operating  results as if the segments were operated on a stand-alone
basis.  However,  the results do not reflect a full allocation of costs based on
the current  structure of the  segments,  and therefore the results might not be
comparable to like information from other companies.

                                                                        Accounts

                                                                        Factoring    Other         Company
                                                                       ----------   --------      -----------

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
         ---------------------------------------------------------

     The  following   discussion   should  be  read  in  conjunction   with  the
consolidated unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the nine month
period ended  September 30, 2003 of the Company and the notes thereto  presented
elsewhere herein.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2002

     Total assets  decreased by $644,000  during the nine months ended September
30, 2003.  During this period,  the Company  realized a significant  increase in
purchased  receivables  related to the Company's accounts  receivable  factoring
program, which was offset by an even larger decrease in the Company's commercial
loan portfolio.

     The balance of the Company's  accounts  receivable  factoring  portfolio at
September  30, 2003 was  $6,614,000  versus  $4,622,000 at December 31, 2002, an
increase of  $1,992,000 or 43%. All of the  purchased  receivables  generated in
2002 were the result of a sourcing and  servicing  agreement  with one factoring
company  located in Maryland.  The Company  entered into a similar  agreement in
early 2003 with a second factoring company located in Georgia.

     Offsetting the increase in accounts receivable factoring was an even larger
decrease in the Company's commercial loan portfolio. Total commercial loans were
$8,981,000 at September 30, 2003, a decrease of $2,845,000 or 24% from the prior
year-end  total of  $11,826,000.  The majority of the decline was due to several
loan payoffs,  one loan sale, and one  foreclosure.  The foreclosed loan balance
was transferred to other  foreclosed  assets at fair market value less estimated
selling costs. The Company  discontinued  issuing new loans under its commercial
loan program in 2001 but continues to service the remaining portfolio.

     Regarding  liabilities and  stockholders'  equity,  certificates of deposit
decreased  by  $1,439,000  from  December 31, 2002 to  September  30, 2003.  The
reduction in certificates of deposit resulted from a decrease in commercial loan
balances and slower than expected growth in accounts receivable factoring. Other
liabilities  decreased by $637,000 during the same nine month period. The change
was primarily due to the purchase of available-for-sale securities for which the
trade date and settlement date straddled December 31, 2002. Stockholders' equity
increased by  $1,343,000  between  periods as a result of  $1,024,000 in current
year net income and a  $319,000  increase  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive
income.


CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002

     Net income for the three  months ended  September  30, 2003 was $246,000 or
$.06 per share compared to net income of $116,000 or $.03 per share for the same
period in 2002, an increase of $130,000 or $.03 per share.

     The  Company's  net  interest  income after  provision  (credit) for credit
losses  increased by $458,000 in 2003 over the same period in 2002. Most of that
increase  was due to  additional  interest  income from  purchased  receivables.
During  the third  quarter  of 2002,  which was also the  third  quarter  of the
Company's  accounts  receivable  factoring  program,  net interest  income after
provision for credit losses from purchased receivables was $444,000.  During the
third  quarter of 2003,  that amount  increased  to  $1,089,000,  an increase of
$645,000 or 145%.  Interest expense for the Company decreased by $18,000 in 2003
versus the same  period in 2002.  Increases  in average  deposit  balances  were
offset by  decreases  in  interest  rates paid on  deposits,  which  resulted in
relatively stable comparative interest expense.

                                       11




     Noninterest  income for the Company  decreased by $38,000  during the three
months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the three months ended September 30,
2002.  Most of the  change was due to a $35,000  loss on the sale of  foreclosed
assets in the third quarter of 2003.

     The Company's  noninterest  expenses increased by $307,000,  comparatively,
between the two periods. Salary expense increased by $77,000, primarily due to a
$57,000  accrual of bonus  expense in 2003 versus no accrual in 2002.  The other
major change between periods was a $135,000  increase in third-party  management
and broker  costs  related  to  increased  activity  in the  Company's  accounts
receivable factoring program.

     NINE  MONTHS  ENDED  SEPTEMBER  30,  2003  COMPARED  TO NINE  MONTHS  ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002

     Net income for the nine months ended  September 30, 2003 was  $1,024,000 or
$.23 per share  compared to a net loss of $(152,000) or $(.03) per share for the
same  period  in  2002.  The  comparison  of net  income  for  the  two  periods
represented an increase of $1,176,000 or $.26 per share.

     The Company's net interest income after credit for credit losses  increased
by $1,410,000 in 2003 versus the same period in 2002.  Most of that increase was
due to additional interest income from purchased  receivables.  During the first
nine months of 2002,  which was the first nine months of the Company's  accounts
receivable factoring program, net interest income after credit for credit losses
from purchased  receivables was $714,000.  During the first nine months of 2003,
that amount increased to $2,613,000, an increase of $1,899,000 or 266%. Interest
expense for the Company  increased  by $27,000 in 2003 versus the same period in
2002. Increases in average deposit balances were offset by decreases in interest
rates paid on deposits, which resulted in relatively stable comparative interest
expense.

     Noninterest  income for the Company  increased by $236,000  during the nine
months ended  September 30, 2003 compared to the nine months ended September 30,
2002.   The   majority   of  the   increase   was  due  to  gains  on  sales  of
available-for-sale   securities.   Fee  income   increased   by   $57,000,   and
miscellaneous  income  decreased  by $19,000 in 2003  versus the same  period in
2002.

     The Company's  noninterest  expenses increased by $422,000,  comparatively,
between the two nine month periods.  Salary  expense  declined by $6,000 between
periods.  An increase of $164,000 in bonus expense accrual during the first nine
months  of 2003  versus no  accrual  in 2002 was  offset by the  effect of staff
reductions  that took place in 2002. The Company's  professional  and legal fees
decreased by $172,000, mainly due to approximately $100,000 in costs incurred in
2002  to  defend  the  Company  against  legal  action  by  a  former  employee.
Additionally,  collection costs related to problem loans decreased significantly
in 2003. Occupancy expense decreased by $25,000 from period to period, primarily
due to the  closing  of an office in  Washington  D.C.  The other  major  change
between  periods was a $541,000  increase in  third-party  management and broker
costs  related  to  increased  activity  in the  Company's  accounts  receivable
factoring program.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002,  the  Company's  cash and cash
equivalents totaled $6,200,000 and $6,546,000,  respectively.  The cash balances
at December 31, 2002 and September  30,2003 included  liquidity to fund expected
growth in purchased receivables.  Funding for WebBank is obtained primarily from
certificates of deposit obtained  through brokers and from a $500,000  unsecured
line of credit with a local  correspondent  bank.  Management  believes that the
Company's  current cash and cash equivalent  balances,  expected  operating cash
flows,  and WebBank  borrowing  sources are adequate to meet its liquidity needs
through at least the next 12 months.

     Unused  commitments  to  fund  purchased  receivables,  not  shown  on  the
statement of financial  condition,  were  $16,881,000  at September 30, 2003 and
$6,382,000  at December  31,  2002.  The  increase  was due to  additions of new


                                       12



clients  and  increases  in credit  limits of  existing  clients  related to the
Company's  accounts  receivable  factoring  program.

     On October 10, 2003,  the Company  filed with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") a registration  statement covering rights to be dividended to
the Company's stockholders to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company for
up to an aggregate price of $10 million. The purpose of the offering is to raise
new capital to be used as additional  working capital for the Company's business
and general  corporate  purposes.  The Board has not yet finalized the number of
rights to be issued,  the number of shares to be issued  upon  exercise  of each
right, or the subscription  price per share with respect to the rights offering.
The Company has received comments from the SEC on this filing. The Company is in
the process of responding to such comments.

     The Company's  officers and Steel Partners,  Ltd., an entity  controlled by
the Company's Chairman,  devote significant time to the Company's administration
and exploring potential acquisition and other business opportunities.  There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to acquire an additional business,
or that such business will be  profitable.  In order to finance an  acquisition,
the Company may be required to incur or assume indebtedness or issue securities.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In April 2003,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 149,  "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities."  SFAS  No.  149  amends  SFAS  No.  133,
"Accounting  for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities."  SFAS No. 149
improves  financial  reporting  by  requiring  that  contracts  with  comparable
characteristics  be  accounted  for  similarly.  SFAS No. 149 is  effective  for
contracts  entered  into or  modified  after June 30, 2003 and should be applied
prospectively.  The Company  adopted SFAS No. 149 with no material impact on its
financial condition or results of operations for the nine months ended September
30, 2003.

     In May  2003,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS No.  150,  "Accounting  for  Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS
No. 150 improves financial reporting by establishing standards for how an issuer
classifies and measures certain financial  instruments with  characteristics  of
both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments
entered into or modified  after May 31, 2003,  and otherwise is effective at the
beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company
adopted  SFAS No. 150 with no  material  impact on its  financial  condition  or
results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE INDICATED BY FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS MADE IN
THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-QSB AND PRESENTED ELSEWHERE BY MANAGEMENT.  ALL
FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS  INCLUDED IN THIS DOCUMENT ARE BASED ON  INFORMATION
AVAILABLE  TO THE  COMPANY  ON THE  DATE  HEREOF,  AND THE  COMPANY  ASSUMES  NO
OBLIGATION  TO  UPDATE  ANY  SUCH  FORWARD-LOOKING   STATEMENTS.   A  NUMBER  OF

TRADING PRICE OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK MAY BE SUBJECT TO WIDE  FLUCTUATIONS
IN RESPONSE TO  QUARTERLY  VARIATIONS  IN OPERATING  RESULTS AND OTHER  FACTORS,
INCLUDING THOSE  DISCUSSED IN THIS QUARTERLY  REPORT ON FORM 10-QSB AND THE RISK
FACTORS IN THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K.

Item 3.  Controls and Procedures
         -----------------------

     The  Company,  under  the  supervision  and with the  participation  of the
Company's management,  including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial  Officer,  has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation
of the Company's  "disclosure  controls and procedures," as such term is defined
in Rules  13a-15e  and 15d-15e  promulgated  under the  Exchange  Act as of this
report.  Based  upon that  evaluation,  the Chief  Executive  Officer  and Chief
Financial  Officer have  concluded  that the Company's  disclosure  controls and
procedures  were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to
provide  reasonable  assurance that information  required to be disclosed by the
Company in reports that it files or submits  under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed,  summarized  and reported  within the time  periods  specified in SEC
rules and forms.  There have been no changes in  internal  controls  or in other
factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of
their  evaluation,  including any corrective  actions with regard to significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.


     A control  system,  no matter how well conceived and operated,  can provide
only  reasonable,  not absolute,  assurance  that the  objectives of the control
system are met. Because of the inherent  limitations in all control systems,  no
evaluation of controls can provide  absolute  assurance  that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

          for the small business issuer and have:
          a)   Designed such disclosure controls and procedures,  or caused such
               disclosure  controls  and  procedures  to be  designed  under our
               supervision,  to ensure that material information relating to the

          the audit committee of the small business  issuer's board of directors
          (or persons performing the equivalent  functions):
          a)   All  significant  deficiencies  and  material  weaknesses  in the
               design or operation of internal control over financial  reporting

               disclosure  controls  and  procedures  to be  designed  under our

               (the small business issuer's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of
               an annual report) that has materially affected,  or is reasonably

               control over financial reporting; and
     5)   The small  business  issuer's other  certifying  officer(s) and I have

          the audit committee of the small business  issuer's board of directors
          (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
          a)   All  significant  deficiencies  and  material  weaknesses  in the
               design or operation of internal control over financial  reporting
               which  are  reasonably  likely  to  adversely  affect  the  small
               business  issuer's  ability to  record,  process,  summarize  and
               report financial information; and
          b)   Any fraud,  whether or not material,  that involves management or
