                    WEBFINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO 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  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 generally accepted
accounting  principles  for  complete  financial  statements.  The  accompanying
interim 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 (the "2000 10-K").  The consolidated
Statement of Financial  Condition  at December 31, 2000 was  extracted  from the
Company's audited consolidated  financial statements contained in the 2000 10-K,
and does not include all disclosures  required by generally accepted  accounting
principles 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 quarter ended June 30, 2001 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ending December 31, 2001.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

            The  following  discussion  should be read in  conjunction  with the
interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Notes thereto.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
JUNE 30, 2001 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2000

            Total  assets  decreased  by  $5,829,000  between  the two dates due
primarily to a $4,438,000  reduction in other assets. The large balance in other
assets at December 31, 2000  resulted from a loan that was sold by WebBank under
contract a few days before  year-end and was settled a few days after  year-end.
Loans,  net of deferred income and before reserve for loan losses,  increased by
$499,000 during the first six months. The allowance for loan losses increased by
$760,000  due to  downgrades  of  several  loans  in the  WebBank  USDA  B&I
portfolio.  Nonaccrual  loans,  those  for  which  interest  income is not being
recorded  and which  are  included  in loans,  net of  deferred  income,  on the
consolidated  statements of financial  condition,  increased from $0 at December
31, 2000 to $2,315,000 at June 30, 2001.

            Total  liabilities  decreased  by  $5,004,000  between the two dates
primarily  due to the  maturity  of  $4,566,000  of  certificates  of deposit at
WebBank that were not renewed because of decreased loan activity. Another change
in  liabilities  during  the first six months of 2001  included  a  decrease  of
$624,000  in other  liabilities  consisting  mainly of the  payment of  accounts
payable and taxes  payable that were accrued at December 31, 2000.  The decrease
of $770,000 in stockholders'  equity was primarily due to the operating loss for
the first six months of 2001 described in "Changes In Results of Operations."

CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000

            The net loss for the  quarter  ended June 30,  2001 was  $417,000 or
$.10 per share compared to net income of $449,000 or $.10 per share for the same
period in 2000.

            Net interest  income after  provision  for loan losses  decreased by
$76,000  between the two periods.  Most of the  difference was due to an $89,000
increase in the provision for loan losses.

            Noninterest  income decreased by $1,082,000 between the two periods.
Tightened  credit standards at WebBank resulted in a decrease in new loan volume
and a  corresponding  decrease in gain on sale of loans of $560,000.  Fee income
declined by $303,000 due in large part to the discontinuance of WebBank's payday
lending   program  and  the  loss  of  a  WebBank   private  label  credit  card
relationship.  Miscellaneous income decreased by $219,000 primarily because of a
one-time loan securitization fee of $383,000 earned by WebBank in 2000.

            Noninterest  expense  decreased by $217,000 between the two periods.
The salary,  wages,  and  benefits  expense  reduction  of  $182,000  was mostly
attributable  to a  reduction  in  the  level  of  staffing  at  Lending.  Other
noninterest expenses stayed relatively steady.

CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000

            The net loss for the six months  ended June 30, 2001 was $816,000 or
$.19 per share compared to net income of $161,000 or $.04 per share for the same
period in 2000.

            Net interest  income after  provision  for loan losses  decreased by
$591,000  between the two periods.  Most of the difference was due to a $601,000
increase in the provision for loan losses.

                                       9





                Noninterest   income  decreased  by  $853,000  between  the  two
periods. The gain on sale of loans decreased by $341,000 due to tightened credit
standards.   Fee  income   declined  by  $451,000  due  in  large  part  to  the
discontinuance  of WebBank's  payday  lending  program and the loss of a WebBank
private  label  credit card  relationship.  Miscellaneous  income  decreased  by
$61,000  primarily  because of a one-time  loan  securitization  fee of $383,000
earned by WebBank in 2000.

                Noninterest  expense  decreased  by  $385,000  between  the  two
periods.  A $340,000  decrease in  salaries,  wages,  and  benefits  expense was
primarily attributable to a reduction in the level of staffing at Lending.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

            At of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000,  the  Company's  cash and
cash  equivalents  totaled  $5,182,000  and  $6,162,000,  respectively.  Funding
currently comes primarily from  certificates of deposit obtained through brokers
and from a $2,500,000  federal funds  purchased line with a local  correspondent
bank.  WebBank is currently  developing a program to secure a less expensive and
more  dependable  source of funds  than the  brokered  certificates  of  deposit
provide. Management believes that the Company's current cash and cash equivalent
balances  and  expected  operating  cash flows and  available  credit  lines are
adequate to meet its liquidity needs through at least the next 12 months.

                The Company continues to actively seek acquisition transactions.
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.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

                The  following  important  factors,  among  others,  could cause
actual  results to differ  materially  from those  indicated by  forward-looking
statements made in this Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q 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
uncertainties  exist that could affect the Company's future  operating  results,
including, without limitation,  general economic conditions, changes in interest
rates, the Company's ability to attract  deposits,  and the Company's ability to
control costs.  Because of these and other factors,  past financial  performance
should not be  considered an  indication  of future  performance.  The Company's
future quarterly operating results may vary significantly.  Investors should not
use historical  trends to anticipate future results and should be aware that the
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 above.

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

            The Company maintains an investment  portfolio and participates with
other lenders in commercial loan programs.  Both of these activities are subject
to specific  policies  that are  focused on  preserving  principal,  maintaining
proper liquidity to meet operating needs, and maximizing yields.

            The  Company's  operations  may be  subject  to a variety  of market
risks,  the most  material  of which is the  risk of  changing  interest  rates.
Generally,  interest  rate  risk  is the  volatility  in  financial  performance
attributable  to changes in market  interest  rates,  which may result in either
fluctuation  of net  interest  income or  changes to the  economic  value of the
equity of the Company.  The following  discusses certain factors that may affect
the  Company's  financial  results and  operations  and should be  considered in
evaluating the Company.

            Interest Rates.  The Company's  earnings may be impacted by changing
interest  rates.  Changes in interest rates impact the level of loans,  deposits
and  investments,  the credit profile of existing  loans,  the rates received on
loans and securities and the rates paid on deposits and borrowings.  The Company
attempts to minimize  interest  rate risk through  various  means  including the
matching  of  interest  rate  volatility  of assets  and  liabilities.  However,
significant  fluctuations  in interest  rates may have an adverse  effect on the
Company's financial condition and results of operations.

            Government  Regulation and Monetary Policy.  The banking industry is
subject to extensive federal and state  supervision and regulation.  Significant
new laws or changes in existing  laws, or repeals of existing laws may cause the
Company's  results  to differ  materially.  Further,  federal  monetary  policy,
particularly as implemented  through the Federal  Reserve System,  significantly
affects  credit  conditions  for the  Company  and a  material  change  in these
conditions  could  have a material  adverse  impact on the  Company's  financial
condition and results of operations.

            Competition.  The banking and financial  services  businesses in the
Company's lines of business are highly competitive. The increasingly competitive
environment  is a result of changes in  regulation,  changes in  technology  and
product  delivery  systems,  and the accelerating  pace of  consolidation  among
financial  service  providers.   The  results  of  the  Company  may  differ  if
circumstances affecting the nature or level of competition change.

            Credit Quality.  A source of risk arises from the  possibility  that
losses will be sustained because  borrowers,  guarantors and related parties may
fail to perform in  accordance  with the terms of their  loans.  The Company has
adopted  underwriting  and credit  monitoring  procedures  and credit  policies,
including the establishment and review of the allowance for credit losses,  that
management  believes are  appropriate  to minimize  this risk by  assessing  the
likelihood of  nonperformance,  tracking loan  performance and  diversifying the
Company's  credit  portfolio.  These policies and procedures,  however,  may not
prevent  unexpected  losses  that could have a  material  adverse  effect on the
Company's results.

            Non-banking  Activities.  The Company may expand its operations into
new  non-banking  activities  in 2001.  Although the Company has  experience  in
providing  bank-related  services,  this  expertise  may  not  assist  us in our
expansion into non-banking  activities.  As a result, we may be exposed to risks
associated with, among other things,  (1) a lack of market and product knowledge
or awareness of other industry  related  matters and (2) an inability to attract
and retain qualified employees with experience in these non-banking activities.

            Proposed  Legislation.  From time to time,  various types of federal
and state  legislation  have  been  proposed  that  could  result in  additional
regulation  of,  and  modifications  of  restrictions  on, the  business  of the
Company.  It  cannot  be  predicted  whether  any  legislation  currently  being
considered will be adopted or how such legislation or any other legislation that
might be enacted in the future would affect the business of the Company.
