PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

      WebFinancial Corporation (formerly Rose's Holdings, Inc. and referred to
herein as the "Company"), was incorporated in 1997 to act as a holding company
for Rose's Stores, Inc., an operator of general merchandise discount stores. On
December 2, 1997, the Company sold all of the outstanding capital stock of Roses
Stores, Inc.

      On August 31, 1998, the Company acquired, through WebFinancial Holdings
Corporation ("WebFinancial Holdings") a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
90% of the outstanding common stock of WebBank, a Utah industrial loan
corporation, pursuant to an assignment from Praxis Investment Advisers, LLC
("PIA") of a stock purchase agreement, between PIA and Block Financial
Corporation ("Block"), relating to the purchase by PIA of all of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of WebBank. Pursuant to the assignment, the
Company paid Block $5,071,000 (including $288,000 of acquisition costs) for the
shares of WebBank's common stock.

      On August 31, 1998, the Company formed Praxis Investment Advisers, Inc.
("Praxis") and together with WebFinancial Holdings and Andrew Winokur, the
holder of the 10% of Praxis not owned by the Company, entered into a management
agreement. The management agreement provided that Praxis could make
recommendations to and consult with the management and board of directors of
WebBank about the deployment of WebBank's capital, the development of its
business lines, its acquisition of assets and its distributions to its
stockholders. During 2000, the Company significantly reduced the level of
operations of Praxis and terminated the management agreement.

      On May 26, 1999, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary,
WebFinancial Government Lending, Inc., to hold and service U.S. Department of
Agriculture loans. In April 2000, WebFinancial Government Lending transferred
the majority of its loan portfolio to WebBank in exchange for 28% of WebBank's
common stock. WebFinancial Government Lending has not actively engaged in loan
originations since that time.

      The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 590 Madison
Avenue, 32nd Floor, New York, New York 10022. The Company's telephone number is
(212) 758-3232.

BUSINESS

      The Company, through its operating subsidiaries, operates in niche banking
markets. WebBank provides commercial and consumer specialty finance
transactions. WebBank is authorized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to
charge interest (including periodic rates, late fees and prepayment fees)
allowed by Utah law on loans made to borrowers who reside in most states of the
country. Any inconsistent state law limits are preempted by federal law, except
for loans made in states that have opted out of the preemption (i.e., Iowa and
Puerto Rico). WebBank is a small, business oriented institution insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and examined and regulated by the
FDIC and the State of Utah Department of Financial Institutions.

      Part of the business plan of WebBank represents a non-traditional approach
to generating growth within the context of the regulatory standards of safety
and soundness. Prudent business goals and protection of WebBank's charter are
the key elements of the Company's business strategy for WebBank. Pursuant to
this strategy, WebBank has focused on several lines of business as described
below:

      o     ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FACTORING. At December 31, 2003, accounts
            receivable factoring constituted WebBank's principal line of
            business. Factoring is a form of collateral-based commercial lending
            in which companies sell their receivables to a lender, principally
            to secure working capital. The receivables are paid directly to the
            lender. WebBank is engaged in accounts receivable factoring
            utilizing a sourcing and servicing company. The Company has
            announced that a notice of termination has been issued with respect
            to a certain accounts receivable factoring arrangement, with the
            termination to be effective in May 2004, and that another accounts
            receivable program was terminated in February 2004. The accounts
            receivable factoring arrangement that is scheduled to be terminated
            effective May 2004 generated revenue and income in fiscal 2002 and
            2003 which accounted for (a) substantially all of the revenue and
            income generated by our accounts receivable factoring operating
            segment for those years, and (b) a significant part of the income
            and revenue of the Company for those years. It is possible that the
            May 2004 termination may not take effect as provided in the
            termination notice and the arrangement may continue. The Company
            believes that the termination of the two accounts receivable
            factoring arrangements will have a significant adverse effect on its
            net income during 2004. In the event of the scheduled May 2004
            termination, accounts receivable factoring will no longer be, at
            that time, WebBank's principal line of business and there can be no
            assurance that the Company will be able to successfully enter into a
            replacement arrangement or arrangements. WebBank is currently
            considering potential options to remain in the accounts receivable
            factoring business.


                                       1


      o     PRIVATE LABEL STUDENT LENDING. This is a secondary product line in
            which WebBank is involved. It is an alternative to federally
            subsidized student loan programs. A third party sourcing company is
            engaged to source these loans. WebBank provides funding to the
            students and sells the loans to the third party shortly after
            origination of each loan. The third party sourcing company engaged
            to source private label student loans on behalf of WebBank has given
            notice to WebBank that it will not renew the arrangement.
            Consequently, this arrangement will terminate at the conclusion of
            its current term on May 31, 2004. See "Note 20 - Subsequent Events"
            to our Consolidated Financial Statements. This product represented
            2.6% and 3.9% of the Company's revenues in 2003 and 2002,
            respectively.

      o     ELECTIVE MEDICAL AND DENTAL TREATMENT LENDING. This is another
            secondary product line. It is a form of unsecured consumer lending
            that allows customers to finance elective surgery or other
            treatments not covered under traditional health insurance plans. A
            third party company is engaged to source these loans. WebBank
            provides funding to the patients and sells the loans to the third
            party shortly after origination of each loan.

      o     USDA BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY (B&I) LENDING. This is a commercial loan
            product of which 70% to 90% is guaranteed by the full faith and
            credit of the Federal government. The loan program is administered
            by the United States Department of Agriculture to assist businesses
            located in rural areas (under 50,000 population) to promote
            industrial modernization and job creation. Originations of new B&I
            loans were discontinued by WebBank in 2001. However, WebBank
            continues to service loans in its existing portfolio and for several
            other investors. If the accounts receivable factoring arrangement is
            terminated in May 2004 as described above, the collection of the
            remaining B&I Loans in WebBank's existing portfolio would
            temporarily become WeBank's principal line of business.

      The Company continues to evaluate its different business lines and
consider various alternatives to maximize the aggregate value of its businesses
and increase stockholder value, including seeking acquisitions and/or merger
transactions, as well as product line extensions, additions and/or divestitures.
No firm commitments have been realized and no binding letters of intent have
been signed at this time. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to accomplish any of these alternatives and be profitable.

COMPETITION

      The banking and financial services industry is highly competitive. The
increasingly competitive environment is primarily attributable to changes in
regulation, changes in technology and product delivery systems, and the
accelerating pace of consolidation among financial services providers. The
Company competes for loans, deposits, and customers with other commercial banks,
thrift institutions, securities and brokerage companies, mortgage companies,
insurance companies, finance companies, money market funds, credit unions, and
other nonbank financial service providers. Many of these competitors are much
larger in total assets and capitalization, have greater access to capital
markets and offer a broader range of financial services than the Company.

REGULATION

      WebBank is regulated by Federal and state banking agencies including the
FDIC and the State of Utah Department of Financial Institutions. As a result,
WebBank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
the Federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can result in the initiation of certain actions by regulators that,
if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on WebBank's and the
Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, WebBank must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of WebBank's assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. WebBank's capital amounts and classification are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors. Management believes that, as of December 31,
2003, WebBank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

EMPLOYMENT

      As of March 29, 2004, the Company had 5 employees, all of whom were
full-time employees. The Company believes that its employee relations are
satisfactory. Steel Partners, Ltd., an entity controlled by the Company's
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, provides certain management,
consulting and advisory services to the Company pursuant to a Management
Agreement. James Henderson, the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer,
provides management, accounting and financial services to WebBank pursuant to an
Employee Allocation Agreement between WebBank and Steel Partners, Ltd. See
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."


                                       2


ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

      The Company occupies office space located at 590 Madison Avenue, 32nd
Floor, New York, New York 10022 pursuant to a Management Agreement with Steel
Partners, Ltd. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." The Company
has the non-exclusive right to use the office space along with Steel Partners,
Ltd. and several other entities.

      On March 20, 2000, WebBank entered into a lease for 4,630 square feet of
headquarters office space in Salt Lake City, Utah. The term of the lease runs
through March 19, 2005.

      The Company believes that the above facilities are adequate for its
current needs and that suitable additional space will be available as required.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      In January 2000, Andrew Winokur, a former executive officer, director and
stockholder of Praxis Investment Advisors, Inc. ("Praxis"), one of the Company's
subsidiaries, filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California,
County of Napa. The lawsuit alleges that Praxis breached its employment
agreement with Mr. Winokur. The lawsuit also asserts claims for interference
with contract and unjust enrichment based upon his alleged wrongful termination.
The lawsuit seeks damages of an unspecified amount and compliance by Praxis with
the termination pay-out provisions in Mr. Winokur's employment agreement.

      On March 4, 2002, the lawsuit was submitted to binding arbitration. The
panel found no breach of contract and no intentional interference with Mr.
Winokur's contractual rights. However, the panel found that Mr. Winokur was
entitled to the termination pay-out provision in his employment agreement. Under
this provision, Mr. Winokur could potentially be entitled to receive certain
compensation based on (i) an investment bank valuation of WebBank, if the
Company accepts such valuation, or (ii) the proceeds of a sale of WebBank, if
the Company rejects such valuation. While Mr. Winokur would not be entitled to
receive any compensation in the event that the sale does not exceed a
predetermined amount as provided in the employment agreement, which amount is
defined as the amount of capital invested by the stockholders of Praxis and
WebBank in such companies, plus a cumulative annual rate of return of ten
percent as of the date of sale, the Company may be forced to sell WebBank if the
sale price exceeds such predetermined amount, even if the Company does not want
to sell WebBank. In addition, if the sale price of WebBank exceeds the
predetermined amount but is less than the investment bank valuation of WebBank,
the Company may be required to sell WebBank at less than its value. The Company
does not have any alternative financing plans to make this payment in the event
such payment is required.

      At the present time, Mr. Winokur has ceased to participate in the process
of valuing WebBank. However, since there may be no time limitation on Mr.
Winokur's claim, the valuation process may proceed in the future and if the
Company is required to make a payment, its business could be harmed.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

      On December 18, 2003, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders
for the year ended December 31, 2002 whereby the shareholders (a) elected five
(5) directors and (b) ratified the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as
independent accountants of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2003. The vote on such matters was as follows:

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002.

      At December 31, 2003, accounts receivable factoring constituted WebBank's
principal line of business. WebBank is engaged in accounts receivable factoring
utilizing a sourcing and servicing company. We have announced that a notice of
termination has been issued with respect to a certain accounts receivable
factoring arrangement, with the termination to be effective in May 2004, and
that another accounts receivable program was terminated in February 2004. The
accounts receivable factoring arrangement that is scheduled to be terminated
effective May 2004 generated revenue and income in fiscal 2002 and 2003 which
accounted for (a) substantially all of the revenue and income generated by our
accounts receivable factoring operating segment for those years, and (b) a
significant part of the income and revenue of the Company for those years. It is
possible that the May 2004 termination may not take effect as provided in the
termination notice and the arrangement may continue. We believe that the
termination of the two accounts receivable factoring arrangements will have a
significant adverse effect on our net income during 2004. We expect that if the
May 2004 termination becomes effective during the second quarter of 2004,
WebBank will (a) not generate any gain or loss from the May 2004 termination as
the sourcing and servicing company has elected to purchase the portfolio of
accounts receivable at WebBank's net book value, and (b) generate approximately
$5.9 million of cash as a result of the sale of the portfolio. It is also
anticipated that the cash generated by the subject termination will be used to
retire Certificates of Deposit as they mature.

      Net income was $2,109,000, or $.48 per common share, for the year ended
December 31, 2003, compared to net income of $459,000, or $.11 per common share,
for the year ended December 31, 2002. A summary of comparative changes in the
major components of net income between the two years is provided below.

      INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased by $1,543,000, or 57%, from
2002 to 2003. This increase was primarily due to a $1,771,000, or 124%, increase
in interest and fees from purchased factoring receivables. Interest and fee
income on the loan portfolio decreased by $220,000, or 20%.

      The majority of the increase in interest income occurred at WebBank. In
January 2002, WebBank began a new accounts receivable factoring program (the
"Factoring Program"). The Factoring Program resulted in an average balance of
outstanding purchased factoring receivables of $2,976,000 with an average yield
of 45.2% and interest income of $1,345,000 during 2002. Later in 2002, the
Company also began purchasing participations in factoring accounts receivable,
generating interest income of $84,000 for the year. In 2003, the average balance
of outstanding purchased factoring receivables from the Factoring Program was
$6,221,000 with an average yield of 49.7% and interest income of $2,984,000. The
Company continued to purchase participations in factoring accounts receivable
during 2003, generating interest income of $216,000 for the year. As discussed
above, the factoring program included two factoring agreements that have been
terminated.

                                       4


      The decrease in interest and fees on the loan portfolio was due to a
decrease  in  average  balances of loans at WebBank from $10,378,000 in 2002 to
$8,034,000 in 2003. WebBank discontinued originations of commercial loans in
2001.

      INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense remained approximately the same from
2002 to 2003. All of the Company's interest expense was incurred by WebBank
during both years. Although WebBank's average deposits increased from
$12,501,000 in 2002 to $13,333,000 in 2003, the average interest rate paid on
those deposits decreased from 2.70% to 2.50%.

      PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES. The credit loss provision increased from a
credit of $(60,000) in 2002 to a provision of $394,000 in 2003. The primary
reason for the increase was a higher level of charge offs in the Factoring
Program. During 2003, a total of $600,000 of factored receivables were charged
off versus $0 in 2002. The increased provision for credit losses was required to
restore the allowance for credit losses to an adequate level following the
charge offs in 2003. Additionally, amortization and pay downs of commercial
loans reduced the amount needed to replenish the allowance for credit losses in
2003 and created a $60,000 credit loss credit in 2002.

      NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income increased from $1,161,000 in 2002
to $1,580,000 in 2003, a change of $419,000, or 36%. Most of the increase was
due to gains on sale of equity securities by the Company. In 2003, a gain on
securities of $891,000 at WebFinancial Corporation was partially offset by a
loss on sale of other assets of $80,000 at WebBank. In 2002, a gain on sale of
securities at WebFinancial Corporation of $318,000 was supplemented by a gain on
sale of other assets of $90,000 at WebBank.

      Miscellaneous income decreased from $441,000 in 2002 to $275,000 in 2003.
The primary difference between years was a $112,000 recovery in 2002 of a
security written off in a prior year.

      NONINTEREST EXPENSES. Noninterest expense increased from $3,096,000 in
2002 to $3,623,000 in 2003, a change of $527,000, or 17%. The primary reasons
for the increase were a $334,000 loss on impairment of securities
available-for-sale in 2003 and a $268,000 increase between years in management
and broker fees incurred in the Factoring Program.

      INCOME TAXES. Income tax benefits of $(756,000) and $(10,000) were
recorded in 2003 and 2002, respectively. During 2003, the Company reduced its
valuation reserve for a deferred tax asset by $1,302,000 resulting in a deferred
tax benefit of $(757,000) offset by a current tax provision of $1,000. In 2002,
the Company recorded a current tax benefit of $(10,000).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      At December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company's cash and cash
equivalents totaled $7,245,000 and $6,546,000, respectively. The cash balances
at December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 included liquidity to fund expected
growth in purchased receivables. However, notices of termination have been given
with respect to two agreements included in the factoring program and, based on
the terms of the factoring agreements, the other parties to the factoring
agreements have the right to purchase the Company's current portfolio of
purchased receivables. One party purchased approximately $500,000 of the
factoring portfolio in February 2004. The Company used the proceeds to reduce
outstanding certificates of deposit. If the remainder of the receivables are
purchased, the Company also intends to use those funds to reduce the outstanding
certificates of deposit as they mature. 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 inflows, and WebBank borrowing sources are adequate to meet the
Company's liquidity needs through at least the next 12 months.

      The Company recently filed a registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission in order to offer shares of common stock to holders of
subscription rights who choose to exercise those rights. Only holders of record
of Company common stock as of March 19, 2004 will be eligible to participate in
the rights offering. The purpose of this offering is to raise up to $10,000,000
to be used for additional working capital for the Company's business and general
corporate purposes.

      The Company and Steel Partners, Ltd., an entity controlled by the
Company's Chairman, devote significant time to exploration of 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.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

      The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk. In the normal course of business, these financial instruments include
commitments to extend credit in the form of loans or through letters of credit.


                                       5


Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest
rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet. The Company's
exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the
financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the
contractual amount of those instruments. Commitments to extend credit are
agreements to lend to a customer, provided there is no violation of any
condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed
expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.
Since certain of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn
upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements. The Company uses the same credit policy in making commitments and
conditional obligations as they do for on-balance sheet instruments. The Company
evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount
of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based
on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. At December 31, 2003 and
2002, the Company had no undisbursed commercial loan commitments or consumer
credit card loan commitments. For the same periods, the Company's undisbursed
accounts receivable factoring commitments totaled approximately $8,138,000 and
$6,382,000, respectively. Notices of termination have been issued with respect
to certain accounts receivable factoring and service arrangements. See "Risk
Factors - Our business could be harmed if a certain accounts receivable
factoring and servicing arrangement terminates" and "Note 20 - Subsequent
Events" to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ISSUES

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

      Management utilizes a comprehensive loan grading system to determine risk
potential in its loan portfolio. Determination of the allowance is inherently
subjective as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and
timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on
pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and
consideration of current economic trends, all of which may be susceptible to
significant change. See Notes 1, 3 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for a description of the methodology used by the Company to determine
the required allowance for credit losses, a discussion of risks associated with
the process, and additional information regarding the allowance and associated
provision.

EQUITY SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE

      The Company, both directly and through its WebBank subsidiary, has
investments in equity securities. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at
fair value. Unrealized holding gains or losses on available-for-sale securities
are excluded from earnings and reported, until realized, in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders' equity. A
decline in the market value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity
security below cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings
resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.
Determination of whether a decline in market value is other than temporary may
be subjective because it requires significant estimates of the projected
financial condition of the issuer, of the industry in which the issuer operates,
and of local, regional, and national economies. See Notes 1 and 2 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the methodology used
by the Company to determine the cost and fair value of equity securities
available for sale.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED 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 year ended December 31,
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.


                                       6


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 year ended December 31, 2003.

      The Bank adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 03-1, "The Meaning of
Other than Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments," as
of December 31, 2003. EITF 03-1 includes certain disclosures regarding
quantitative and qualitative disclosures for investment securities accounted for
under FAS 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities," that are impaired at the balance sheet date, but an
other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized. The disclosure requires
a table of securities which have unrealized losses as of the reporting date,
distinguished between securities which have been in a continuous unrealized loss
position for 12 months or more and less than 12 months. The table is to include
aggregate unrealized losses and fair value of securities whose fair value are
below book value as of the reporting date. Additional information, in narrative
form, is required that provides sufficient information to allow financial
statement users to understand the quantitative disclosures and the information
that the investor considered in reaching the conclusion that the impairments are
not other than temporary. At December 31, 2003, the Company did not have any
unrealized losses on investment 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 ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-KSB 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 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 BELOW.

RISK FACTORS

      The following paragraphs discuss certain factors that may affect the
Company's financial condition and operations and should be considered in
evaluating us. For the purposes of the following paragraphs, unless the context
otherwise requires, the terms "we," "us" and "our" refer to WebFinancial
Corporation.

CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR OPERATING RESULTS.

      Our earnings depend substantially on "rate differentials," which are the
differences between the rates we earn on loans, securities and other earning
assets, and the interest rates we pay on deposits and other borrowings. These
rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond our control,
including general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental
and regulatory authorities. 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.
Significant fluctuations in interest rates may adversely affect our financial
condition and results of operations.

SIGNIFICANT NEW LAWS OR CHANGES IN EXISTING LAWS OR MONETARY POLICY AFFECTING
THE BANKING INDUSTRY COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE AFFECT ON OUR RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.

      Our banking subsidiary, WebBank, is subject to extensive government
regulation and supervision under various state and federal laws, rules and
regulations, primarily under the rules and regulations of the FDIC and the State
of Utah Department of Financial Institutions. These laws and regulations are
designed primarily to protect depositors, borrowers, and the Bank Insurance Fund
of the FDIC. WebBank's regulators maintain significant authority to impose
requirements on WebBank's operations, such as limiting its activities or
mandating that it hold increased capital. For example, WebBank's regulators
recently required WebBank to obtain the prior non-objection of the FDIC and Utah
Department of Financial Institutions before developing new lines of activity or
expanding existing lines of activity, as well as before making changes to its
board of directors or senior executive officers. Objections to WebBank's lines
of business, enactment of significant new laws, changes in existing laws or
repeals of existing laws may cause WebBank's results to change materially. In
addition, federal monetary policy, particularly as implemented through the
Federal Reserve System, such as changes in interest rates, could affect
WebBank's financial condition. Changes in interest rates can affect the number
of loans WebBank originates, as well as the value of its loans and other
interest-earning assets and the ability to realize gains on the sale of those
assets and liabilities. Prevailing interest rates also affect the extent to
which borrowers prepay loans owned by WebBank. When interest rates increase,
borrowers are less likely to prepay their loans, and vice versa. WebBank may be
required to invest funds generated by prepayments at less favorable interest
rates. Increases in interest rates could hurt the ability of borrowers who have
loans with floating interest rates to meet their increased payment obligations.
If those borrowers were not able to make their payments, then WebBank could
suffer losses, and its level of performing assets would decline.


                                       7


OUR BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED IF A CERTAIN ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FACTORING AND
SERVICING ARRANGEMENT TERMINATES.

      At December 31, 2003, accounts receivable factoring constituted WebBank's
principal line of business. We have announced that a notice of termination has
been issued with respect to a certain accounts receivable factoring arrangement,
with the termination to be effective in May 2004, and that another accounts
receivable program was terminated in February 2004. The accounts receivable
factoring arrangement that is scheduled to be terminated effective May 2004
generated revenue and income in fiscal 2002 and 2003 which accounted for (a)
substantially all of the revenue and income generated by our accounts receivable
factoring operating segment for those years, and (b) a significant part of the
income and revenue of the Company for those years. It is possible that the May
2004 termination may not take effect as provided in the termination notice and
the arrangement may continue. However, in the event of termination, there can be
no assurance that we will be able to successfully enter into a replacement
arrangement or arrangements. We believe that the termination of the two accounts
receivable factoring arrangements will have a significant adverse effect on our
net income during 2004.

WE FACE SUBSTANTIAL COMPETITION IN OUR INDUSTRY SECTOR FROM BANKING AND
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS THAT HAVE LARGER AND GREATER FINANCIAL AND MARKETING
CAPABILITIES, WHICH MAY HINDER OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY.

      The banking and financial services businesses in our 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 services providers. We
compete with many different banking and financial institutions, including:

      o     commercial and savings banks and savings and loan associations;
      o     credit unions;
      o     finance companies;
      o     brokerage and investment banking firms; and
      o     asset-based non-bank lenders.

      These entities may be branches or subsidiaries of much larger
organizations affiliated with statewide, regional or national banking companies,
and as a result may have greater resources and lower cost of funds. There can be
no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively in the future.

WE COULD SUSTAIN LOSSES IF WE INCORRECTLY ASSESS THE CREDITWORTHINESS OF
BORROWERS, GUARANTORS OR RELATED PARTIES.

      Our earnings are significantly affected by our ability to properly
originate, underwrite and service loans. We could sustain losses if our
borrowers, guarantors or related parties fail to perform in accordance with the
terms of their loans. We have 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 our credit portfolio. These policies and
procedures, however, may not prevent unexpected losses that could hurt our
business and financial condition.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO CREDIT AND INTEREST RATE RISK IN EXCESS OF AN AMOUNT
RECOGNIZED ON OUR BALANCE SHEET.

      We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. In
the normal course of business, these financial instruments include commitments
to extend credit in the form of loans or through letters of credit. Those
instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate
risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet. Our exposure to
credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial
instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual
amount of those instruments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend
to a customer, provided there is no violation of any condition established in
the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since certain of the
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We use


                                       8


the same credit policy in making commitments and conditional obligations as we
do for on-balance sheet instruments. We evaluate each customer's credit
worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed
necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation
of the borrower. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, we had no undisbursed commercial
loan commitments or consumer credit card loan commitments. For the same periods,
our undisbursed accounts receivable factoring commitments totaled approximately
$8,138,000 and $6,382,000, respectively.

WE MAY EXPAND INTO NEW NON-BANKING ACTIVITIES, WHICH WOULD EXPOSE US TO RISKS
ASSOCIATED WITH NEW BUSINESSES.

      We continue to consider new business opportunities, both bank-related and
otherwise. We believe that an acquisition can help create value for shareholders
through increased growth, as well as the utilization of our net operating
losses. Accordingly, we may expand our operations into new non-banking
activities in the future. Although we have experience in providing bank-related
services, this expertise may not assist us in expansion into non-banking
activities. As a result, we may be exposed to risks associated with new
businesses, such as (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.

OUR BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED IF THERE IS A NON-FAVORABLE RESOLUTION TO THE LEGAL
PROCEEDING COMMENCED AGAINST US BY ANDREW WINOKUR.

      In January 2000, Andrew Winokur, a former executive officer, director and
stockholder of Praxis Investment Advisors, Inc., one of our subsidiaries, filed
a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Napa. The
lawsuit alleges that Praxis breached its employment agreement with Mr. Winokur.
The lawsuit also asserts claims for interference with contract and unjust
enrichment based upon his alleged wrongful termination. The lawsuit seeks
damages of an unspecified amount and compliance by Praxis with the termination
pay-out provisions in Mr. Winokur's employment agreement.

      On March 4, 2002, the lawsuit was submitted to binding arbitration. The
panel found no breach of contract and no intentional interference with Mr.
Winokur's contractual rights. However, the panel found that Mr. Winokur was
entitled to the termination pay-out provision in his employment agreement. Under
this provision, Mr. Winokur could potentially be entitled to receive certain
compensation based on (i) an investment bank valuation of WebBank, if we accept
such valuation, or (ii) the proceeds of a sale of WebBank, if we reject such
valuation. While Mr. Winokur would not be entitled to receive any compensation
in the event that the sale does not exceed a predetermined amount as provided in
the employment agreement, which amount is defined as the amount of capital
invested by the stockholders of Praxis and WebBank in such companies, plus a
cumulative annual rate of return of ten percent as of the date of sale, we may
be forced to sell WebBank if the sale price exceeds such predetermined amount,
even if we do not want to sell WebBank. In addition, if the sale price of
WebBank exceeds the predetermined amount but is less than the investment bank
valuation of WebBank, we may be required to sell WebBank at less than its value.
We do not have any alternative financing plans to make this payment in the event
such payment is required.

      At the present time, Mr. Winokur has ceased to participate in the process
of valuing WebBank. However, since there may be no time limitation on Mr.
Winokur's claim, the valuation process may proceed in the future and if we are
required to make a payment, our business could be harmed.

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

      Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of
ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this Form 10-KSB, is reported
in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules. Disclosure
controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information
is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.

      As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-KSB, the Company
carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of
the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act
Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information
relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be
in the Company's periodic SEC filings. There were no significant changes in the
Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

      Certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
regarding, among other items, disclosure controls and procedures are included as
exhibits to this Form 10-KSB.

all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to officers, directors, and

      Warren Lichtenstein, from the Company. For information relating to the
      management functions performed by such entities, see "Certain
      Relationships and Related Transactions."

STOCK OPTIONS

      None of the Company's executive officers were granted any options during
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, nor did Mr. Lichtenstein hold any stock
options as of December 31, 2003.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

      The Company currently has no employment agreements, compensatory plans, or
arrangements with any executive officer.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

      The Board of Directors has authorized the payment to each of the Company's
non-employee directors a retainer fee of $3,000 per quarter in cash for his
services as a director during 2003 and meeting fees of $1,000 per meeting of the
Board and $500 per meeting of a committee of the Board ($375 to the extent such
committee meeting is held on the same day as a Board meeting) during 2003
pursuant to the terms of the Long Term Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan").
Pursuant to Plan, the three non-employee directors entitled to such fees elected
to receive their fees in stock options in lieu of cash, with exercise prices
based on the market price of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Officers,
who are directors, do not receive annual or per meeting compensation. Howard
Mileaf, as chairman of the audit committee, receives chairmanship fees of $2,500
per quarter. During 2003, the Company's non-employee directors were also paid
$10,000 each for their review of the registration statement prepared by the
Company in connection with its subscription rights offering.

      extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

      Pursuant to a management agreement (the "Management Agreement"), approved
by a majority of the Company's disinterested directors, between the Company and
SPS (and subsequently assigned to New Ltd.). New Ltd. provides the Company with
office space and certain management, consulting and advisory services. The
Management Agreement is automatically renewable on an annual basis unless
terminated by either party, for any reason, upon at least 60 days written notice
prior to the end of the year and may be terminated by either party upon 30 days
prior written notice to the other party. The Management Agreement also provides
that the Company shall indemnify, save and hold SPS harmless from and against
any obligation, liability, cost or damage resulting from SPS's actions under the
terms of the Management Agreement, except to the extent occasioned by gross
negligence or willful misconduct of SPS's officers, directors or employees.

      Pursuant to an employee allocation agreement (the "Employee Allocation
Agreement") between WebBank and SPS (and subsequently assigned to New Ltd.), Jim
Henderson, an employee of New Ltd. and executive officer of the Company,
performs services in the area of management, accounting and finances and such
other services as are reasonably requested by WebBank. The Employee Allocation
Agreement will continue in force until terminated by either of the parties upon
30 days written notice.


                                       16


      Prior to March 26, 2002, the original counterparty to both the Management
Agreement and the Employee Allocation Agreement was SPS. As of March 26, 2002,
the Management Agreement and the Employee Allocation Agreement described above
were assigned by SPS to New Ltd. and the employees of SPS became employees of
New Ltd. Warren Lichtenstein, the Company's President and Chief Executive
Officer, is an affiliate of New Ltd. based on his ownership of New Ltd.,
directly and through Steel, and by virtue of his positions as Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer of New Ltd. Mr. Lichtenstein is the sole
managing member of the general partner of Steel. Mr. Lichtenstein disclaims
beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock of New Ltd. owned by Steel
(except to the extent of his pecuniary interest in such shares of Common Stock).

      In consideration of the services rendered under the Management Agreement,
New Ltd. charges the Company a fixed monthly fee totaling $310,000 per annum,
adjustable annually upon agreement of the Company and New Ltd. In consideration
of the services provided under the Employee Allocation Agreement, New Ltd.
charges WebBank $100,000 per annum. The fees payable by WebBank are included in
the fees payable by the Company under the Management Agreement. The Company
believes that the cost of obtaining the type and quality of services rendered by
New Ltd. under the Management Agreement and Employee Allocation Agreement is no
less favorable than the cost at which the Company and WebBank, respectively
could obtain from unaffiliated entities.

      During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, New Ltd. billed fees with
respect to fiscal 2003 of $310,000 to the Company for services rendered under
the Management Agreement. Included in these fees was $100,000 paid by WebBank
for services rendered under the Employee Allocation Agreement. During the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2002, New Ltd. and SPS billed fees with respect to
fiscal 2002 of $232,000 and $77,500 respectively to the Company for services
rendered under the Management Agreement. Included in these fees were $100,000
paid by WebBank for services rendered under the Employee Allocation Agreement.

      Pursuant to a sourcing and servicing agreement (the "Rockland Agreement")
between WebBank and Rockland Credit Finance LLC ("Rockland"), Rockland performs
both sourcing and servicing functions on behalf of WebBank related to WebBank's
accounts receivable factoring program. During 2003, Rockland was paid $255,000
in cash management fees and earned $1,019,000 in total management fees under the
terms of the Rockland Agreement. During 2002, Rockland was paid $56,000 in cash
management fees and earned $571,000 in total management fees under the terms of
the Rockland Agreement. Management fees are paid quarterly and accrued monthly
by WebBank. A notice of termination has been issued with respect to the Rockland
accounts receivable factoring and service arrangement. See "Risk Factors - Our
business could be harmed if a certain accounts receivable factoring and
servicing arrangement terminates" and "Note 20 - Subsequent Events" to the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

            MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2003

The consolidated financial statements on the following pages have been prepared
by management in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Management is responsible for the reliability and fairness of the financial
statements and other financial information included herein.

To meet its responsibilities with respect to financial information, management
maintains and enforces internal accounting policies, procedures and controls
which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded
and that transactions are properly recorded and executed in accordance with
management's authorization. Management believes that the Company's accounting
controls provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that errors or
irregularities which could be material to the financial statements are prevented
or would be detected within a timely period by Company personnel in the normal
course of performing their assigned functions. The concept of reasonable
assurance is based on the recognition that the cost of controls should not
exceed the expected benefits.

The responsibility of our independent auditors, Grant Thornton LLP, is to
conduct their audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America. In carrying out this responsibility, they planned
and performed their audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether caused by error
or fraud.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors met three times with management
and Grant Thornton LLP to discuss auditing and financial matters and to assure
that each is carrying out its responsibilities. Grant Thornton LLP has full and
free access to the Audit Committee and met with it by telephone, with and
without management being present, to discuss the results of their audit and
their opinions on the quality of financial reporting.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors
WebFinancial Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition
of WebFinancial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002
and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
WebFinancial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

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. A
material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the
near-term relates to the determination of the allowance for credit losses and
the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in
satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowance for
credit losses and the valuation of real estate, management obtains independent
appraisals for significant properties.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--Cash and cash equivalents include cash and
noninterest bearing deposits in depository institutions, plus interest-bearing
deposits with banks and investments in cash management funds. The Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or
less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost,
which approximates market.

INCOME PER SHARE--Basic income per common share is calculated by dividing net
income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted income per common share reflects the maximum dilutive effect of
common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and stock warrants.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES--The Company classifies its securities as either
available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are those
debt securities that the Company has the ability and intent to hold until
maturity. All other securities not included in held-to-maturity are classified
as available-for-sale.

Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the
amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Available-for-sale
securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains or losses on
available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported, until
realized, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate
component of stockholders' equity. A decline in the market value of any
available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below cost that is deemed other
than temporary is charged to earnings resulting in the establishment of a new
cost basis for the security. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted
over the life of the related security as an adjustment to the yield using the
effective-interest method. Dividend and interest income is recognized when
earned. Realized gains and losses for securities classified as
available-for-sale or held-to-maturity are included in earnings and are derived
using the specific-identification method.

LOANS AND PURCHASED RECEIVABLES--The Company, through WebBank, grants mortgage,
commercial and consumer loans to customers. Loans that management has the intent
and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off
generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted
for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs
on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.
Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and
recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.

The accrual of interest on commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan
is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of
collection. Credit card loans and other personal loans are typically charged off
no later than 180 days past due. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or
charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is
considered doubtful.

                    WEBFINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual
or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans
is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for
return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal
and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments
are reasonably assured.

WebBank purchases receivable balances from customers at a discounted rate. The
receivables to be purchased from any given customer are determined using
WebBank's credit granting policies. Receivable purchases have full recourse to
the customer and are accounted for as a purchase under the guidelines of
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 140.

Purchased receivables that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding
unpaid principal balances reduced by any charge-off or specific valuation
accounts and net of any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, or
unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.

In February 2004, various agreements regarding purchased receivables were
canceled. See Note 20 for additional information.

The Company has originated loans to customers under a United States Department
of Agriculture ("USDA") program that generally provides for USDA guarantees of
70 percent to 90 percent of each loan. The Company sold the guaranteed portion
of each loan to a third party and retained the unguaranteed portion in its own
portfolio. Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated
market value in the aggregate.

The Company is required to retain a minimum of five percent of each USDA loan
sold and to service the loan for the investor. Based on the specific loan sale
agreement that the Company enters into with the investor, the difference between
the yield on the loan and the yield paid to the buyer is the servicing fee.
Loans serviced for others approximated $28,194 and $36,263 at December 31, 2003
and 2002, respectively. These loans are not included in the accompanying
statements of financial condition. Fees earned for servicing loans for others
are reported as income when the related loan payments are collected, less
amortization of the servicing asset. Loan servicing costs are charged to expense
as incurred.

CREDIT RELATED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--In the ordinary course of business, the
Company has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commitments
under accounts receivable factoring and credit card arrangements. Such financial
instruments are recorded when they are funded.

LOAN IMPAIRMENT--A loan is considered impaired when, based on current
information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect
the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in
determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the
probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.
Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls
generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance
of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into
consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower,
including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's
prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the
principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for
commercial loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market
price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is secured by collateral.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for
impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual
consumer and finance receivables for impairment disclosures.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES--The allowance for credit losses is established as
losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for credit losses
charged to earnings. Credit losses are charged against the allowance when
management believes the uncollectibility of a loan or receivable balance is
confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for credit losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management
and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectibility of the
amounts due in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan
portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay,
estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions.
This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are
susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance for purchased receivable losses, which is included with the
allowance for credit losses, is increased by charges to income and decreased by
charge offs (net recoveries). Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy
of the allowance is based on the Company's past purchased receivables loss
experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that
may affect the debtor's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying
collateral and current economic conditions. Purchased receivables are charged
off when they are 90 days contractually past due, at which time the Company may
enforce the recourse agreement to collect from the customer the remaining
outstanding balances.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NONACCRUAL LOANS--Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when the loan is
90 days past due or when management believes, after considering economic and
business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrower's financial
condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Interest income on
nonaccrual loans is credited to income only to the extent interest payments are
received. Loans are restored to accrual of interest when delinquent payments are
received in full. Additionally, the Company uses the cost recovery accounting
method to recognize interest income on impaired loans.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT--Premises and equipment are stated at cost, net of
accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of premises and
equipment is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives
from one to five years for book purposes and accelerated methods for tax
purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the related
leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
Useful lives of leasehold improvements are between three and five years. Normal
recurring repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

INCOME TAXES--The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income
taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and deferred tax
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
effect on deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

GOODWILL--The Company evaluates their goodwill for impairment at least annually
at a reporting unit level. The Company completed its annual evaluation of
impairment of goodwill and determined that no impairment exists at December 31,
2003 or 2002.

FORECLOSED ASSETS--Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosures are
held for sale and initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure,
establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, periodic valuations
are performed and the asset is carried at the lower of the carrying amount or
fair value, less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes
in the valuation allowance are included in net expenses from foreclosed assets.

TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS--Transfers of financial assets are accounted for
as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over
transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been
isolated from the Company (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of
conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or
exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective
control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them
before their maturity.

ACCOUNTING FOR IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS--The Company reviews its
long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to
be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to
sell.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)--Accounting principles generally require that
recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income.
Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and
losses on securities available for sale, are reported as a separate component of
the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are
components of comprehensive income.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION--The Company has applied the disclosure provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - An Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 123" for the years ended 2003 and 2002. Issued in December 2002,
SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" to
provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair
value based method of accounting for stock based compensation. As permitted by
SFAS No. 148, the Company is allowed to continue to measure compensation cost
for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed
by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, whereby compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market
price of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement date) over the amount
an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Stock options issued under the
Company's stock option plan have no intrinsic value at the grant date, and under
Opinion No. 25 no compensation cost is recognized for them. The Company has
elected to continue with the accounting methodology in Opinion No. 25 and, as a
result, has provided pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share
and other disclosures, as if the fair value based method of accounting had been
applied. The pro forma disclosures include the effects of all awards granted on
or after January 1, 1995. (See Note 10.)

The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and earnings per
share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS
No.123, as amended by SFAS No. 148 to stock based compensation (amounts in
thousands except per share amounts):

There were no options granted in 2003. For 2002, in determining the pro forma
amounts shown in the preceding table, the fair value of each option grant was
estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
with weighted average assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2002 which
include a risk-free interest rate of 4.0 percent, expected dividend yield of 0
percent, expected lives of 5 years, and expected volatility of 69 percent. No
options were granted to non-employees for services during the year ended
December 31, 2002.

RECLASSIFICATION--Certain immaterial amounts as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2002 have been reclassified to
conform with the 2003 presentation.

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 year
ended December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2003.

The Bank adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 03-1, "The Meaning of Other
than Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments," as of
December 31, 2003. EITF 03-1 includes certain disclosures regarding quantitative
and qualitative disclosures for investment securities accounted for under FAS
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," that
are impaired at the balance sheet date, but an other-than-temporary impairment
has not been recognized. The disclosure requires a table of securities which
have unrealized losses as of the reporting date, distinguished between
securities which have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12
months or more and less than 12 months. The table is to include aggregate
unrealized losses and fair value of securities whose fair value are below book
value as of the reporting date. Additional information, in narrative form, is
required that provides sufficient information to allow financial statement users
to understand the quantitative disclosures and the information that the investor
considered in reaching the conclusion that the impairments are not other than
temporary. At December 31, 2003, the Company did not have any unrealized losses
on investment securities.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Loans to fifteen customers comprise approximately 55 percent of total loans at
December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2003, $268 of the loans in the portfolio had
a fixed interest rate ($479 at December 31, 2002) and $89 of the Company's loans
were unsecured ($168 at December 31, 2002). The ability of the borrowers to
repay their obligations is dependent upon economic conditions within their
respective regions as well as the financial condition of the borrowers.

The Company had $1,251 and $1,171 of loans on which the accrual of interest has
been discontinued or reduced at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. If
income on those loans had been accrued, such income would have approximated $111
and $150 for 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The following is a summary of information pertaining to impaired loans:

4.    ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The allowance for credit losses is summarized as follows:

                                                           2003           2002

Ending balance                                           $ 1,302        $ 1,526
                                                         =======        =======

The Company considers the allowance for credit losses adequate to cover losses
inherent in loans, loan commitments and purchased receivables at December 31,
2003. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will not, in any
particular period, sustain credit losses that are sizable in relation to the
amount reserved, or that subsequent evaluations of the loan portfolio, in light
of the factors then prevailing, including economic conditions and the Company's
ongoing examination process and that of its regulators, will not require
significant increases in the allowance for credit losses. It is at least
reasonably possible that a material change in the allowance for credit losses
will occur in the near term.

5.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Pursuant to a management agreement (the "Management Agreement"), approved by a
majority of the Company's disinterested directors, between the Company and an
entity formerly known as Steel Partners Services, Ltd. ("SPS") (and subsequently
assigned to Steel Partners, Ltd. ("New Ltd.")), New Ltd. provides the Company
with office space and certain management, consulting and advisory services. The
Management Agreement is automatically renewable on an annual basis unless
terminated by either party, for any reason, upon at least 60 days written
notice. The Management Agreement also provides that the Company shall indemnify,
save and hold SPS harmless from and against any obligation, liability, cost or
damage resulting from SPS's actions under the terms of the Management Agreement,
except to the extent occasioned by gross negligence or willful misconduct of
SPS's officers, directors or employees.

Pursuant to an employee allocation agreement (the "Employee Allocation
Agreement") between WebBank and SPS (and subsequently assigned to New Ltd.), Jim
Henderson, an employee of New Ltd. and executive officer of the Company,


                                      F-17


                    WEBFINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

performs services in the area of management, accounting and finances and such
other services as are reasonably requested by WebBank. The Employee Allocation
Agreement will continue in force until terminated by either of the parties upon
30 days written notice.

Prior to March 26, 2002, the original counterparty to both the Management
Agreement and the Employee Allocation Agreement was SPS. As of March 26, 2002,
the Management Agreement and the Employee Allocation Agreement described above
were assigned by SPS to New Ltd. and the employees of SPS became employees of
New Ltd. Warren Lichtenstein, the Company's President and Chief Executive
Officer, is an affiliate of New Ltd. based on his ownership of New Ltd.,
directly and through Steel Partners II, L.P. ("Steel"), and by virtue of his
positions as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of New Ltd. Mr.
Lichtenstein is the sole managing member of the general partner of Steel. Mr.
Lichtenstein disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock of New
Ltd. owned by Steel (except to the extent of his pecuniary interest in such
shares of Common Stock).

In consideration of the services rendered under the Management Agreement, New
Ltd. charges the Company a fixed monthly fee totaling $310,000 per annum,
adjustable annually upon agreement of the Company and New Ltd. In consideration
of the services provided under the Employee Allocation Agreement, New Ltd.
charges WebBank $100,000 per annum. The fees payable by WebBank are included in
the fees payable by the Company under the Management Agreement. The Company
believes that the cost of obtaining the type and quality of services rendered by
New Ltd. under the Management Agreement and Employee Allocation Agreement is no
less favorable than the cost at which the Company and WebBank, respectively
could obtain from unaffiliated entities.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, New Ltd. billed fees with
respect to fiscal 2003 of $310,000 to the Company for services rendered under
the Management Agreement. Included in these fees was $100,000 paid by WebBank
for services rendered under the Employee Allocation Agreement. During the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2002, New Ltd. and SPS billed fees with respect to
fiscal 2002 of $232,000 and $77,500 respectively to the Company for services
rendered under the Management Agreement. Included in these fees were $100,000
paid by WebBank for services rendered under the Employee Allocation Agreement.

Pursuant to a sourcing and servicing agreement (the "Rockland Agreement")
between WebBank and Rockland Credit Finance LLC ("Rockland"), Rockland performs
both sourcing and servicing functions on behalf of WebBank related to WebBank's
accounts receivable factoring program. During 2003, Rockland was paid $255,000
in cash management fees and earned $1,019,000 in total management fees under the
terms of the Rockland Agreement. During 2002, Rockland was paid $56,000 in cash
management fees and earned $571,000 in total management fees under the terms of
the Rockland Agreement. Management fees are paid quarterly and accrued monthly
by WebBank. Subsequent to year end 2003, WebBank gave Rockland notice of
termination of their Sourcing and Servicing Agreement (see "Note 20 - Subsequent
Events").

7.    SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

In April 2002, WebBank obtained a secured federal funds line of credit for $500
with a commercial bank. The interest rate approximated the federal funds rate.
The security consisted of WebBank's investment portfolio of mortgage backed
securities. The secured federal funds line of credit was not used in 2002. In
March 2003, the secured line of credit was replaced by an unsecured federal
funds line of credit for the same amount with the same bank. Neither the secured
or unsecured lines of credit were used in 2003.

                    WEBFINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At December 31, 2003, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of
approximately $39,033 that are scheduled to expire from 2009 through 2021. The
Company has treated such net operating losses incurred prior to April 28, 1995,
when there was a material change in ownership of a 5% shareholder, in accordance
with Section 382(l)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, there is
approximately $19,000 in net operating losses incurred prior to April 28, 1995
as well as $20,033 incurred subsequent to April 28, 1995 available as
carryovers. All net operating losses may be subject to certain limitations on
utilization.

13.   DISCLOSURES ABOUT THE FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying value for short-term financial instruments that mature or reprice
frequently at market rates approximates fair value. Such financial instruments
include: cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable, demand
deposits, accounts payable and accrued expenses, time certificates of deposit
and short term borrowing. The difference between the fair market value and the
carrying value for loans and investment securities is not considered significant
to the financial statements.

CREDIT-RELATED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. In
the normal course of business, these financial instruments include commitments
to extend credit in the form of loans or through letters of credit. Those
instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate
risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet. The contract
amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has
in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is
represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company the same
credit policy in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
on-balance sheet instruments.

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company's undisbursed commercial loan
commitments totaled $0. For the same periods, the Company's undisbursed consumer
credit card loan commitments totaled $0. For the same periods, the Company's
undisbursed accounts receivable factoring commitments totaled approximately
$8,138 and $6,382, respectively.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided there
is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Since certain of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit
worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed
necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on management's credit
evaluation of the borrower.

LITIGATION

      In January 2000, Andrew Winokur, a former executive officer, director and
stockholder of Praxis Investment Advisors, Inc. ("Praxis"), one of the Company's
subsidiaries, filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California,
County of Napa. The lawsuit alleges that Praxis breached its employment


                                      F-22


                    WEBFINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

agreement with Mr. Winokur. The lawsuit also asserts claims for interference
with contract and unjust enrichment based upon his alleged wrongful termination.
The lawsuit seeks damages of an unspecified amount and compliance by Praxis with
the termination pay-out provisions in Mr. Winokur's employment agreement.

      On March 4, 2002, the lawsuit was submitted to binding arbitration. The
panel found no breach of contract and no intentional interference with Mr.
Winokur's contractual rights. However, the panel found that Mr. Winokur was
entitled to the termination pay-out provision in his employment agreement. Under
this provision, Mr. Winokur could potentially be entitled to receive certain
compensation based on (i) an investment bank valuation of WebBank, if the
Company accepts such valuation, or (ii) the proceeds of a sale of WebBank, if
the Company rejects such valuation. While Mr. Winokur would not be entitled to
receive any compensation in the event that the sale does not exceed a
predetermined amount as provided in the employment agreement, which amount is
defined as the amount of capital invested by the stockholders of Praxis and
WebBank in such companies, plus a cumulative annual rate of return of ten
percent as of the date of sale, the Company may be forced to sell WebBank if the
sale price exceeds such predetermined amount, even if the Company does not want
to sell WebBank. In addition, if the sale price of WebBank exceeds the
predetermined amount but is less than the investment bank valuation of WebBank,
the Company may be required to sell WebBank at less than its value. The Company
does not have any alternative financing plans to make this payment in the event
such payment is required.

      At the present time, Mr. Winokur has ceased to participate in the process
of valuing WebBank. However, since there may be no time limitation on Mr.
Winokur's claim, the valuation process may proceed in the future and if the
Company is required to make a payment, its business could be harmed.

15.   REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

WebBank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can
initiate certain actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank
must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the
Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier I
capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined),
and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average quarterly assets (as defined).
Management believes, as of December 31, 2003 that the Bank meets all capital
adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2003, based on the applicable capital adequacy regulations,
the Bank is categorized as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. To be categorized as "well capitalized" the Bank must
maintain minimum total risk based, Tier I risk based, and Tier I leverage ratios
as set forth in the following tables. There are no conditions or events that
management believes have changed the Bank's category.

Capital amounts and ratios are summarized as follows (in thousands):

16.   SERVICING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

In connection with certain businesses in which the Company sells originated or
purchased loans with servicing retained, servicing assets or liabilities are
recorded based on the relative fair value of the servicing rights on the date
the loans are sold. Servicing assets and liabilities are amortized in proportion
to and over the period of estimated net servicing income and expense. At
December 31, 2003 and 2002, net servicing assets, which are included in other
assets, were $31 and $99, respectively. Servicing assets are periodically
evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of those assets. During 2003
and 2002, the Company recorded no additional servicing assets, and recorded $45
and $35 of amortization, respectively.

17.   MISCELLANEOUS INCOME

Miscellaneous income for the year ended December 31, is summarized as follows:

18.   OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

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

The Company evaluates segment performance internally based on lines of business
and the operating segments are so defined. The Company has identified two
operating segments. The first is the accounts receivable factoring program
operated by WebBank. The second operating segment, termed "other," includes
commercial lending, fee for services, and investment activities. Income
generated from investments in factoring receivables by Company entities other
than WebBank is included in the "other" operating segment. For the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2002, factoring income earned by entities other than
WebBank was $216 and $84, respectively. Subsequent to year end 2003, several
events occurred to modify the nature of the accounts receivable factoring
program (see "Note 20 - Subsequent Events").

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following is a summary of selected operating segment information for the
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Prior to 2002, the Company did not
evaluate its financial performance based on distinct operating segments. 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 entities, and thus the results might
not be comparable to like information from other companies.

20.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 20, 2004, WebBank gave notice of termination of a Sourcing and
Servicing Agreement and an Employment Agreement to one of the two factoring
companies providing accounts receivable factoring services to WebBank. On March
1, 2004, that factoring company acknowledged receipt of the termination notice
and, under the terms of the Sourcing and Servicing Agreement, gave notice to
WebBank that the factoring company would exercise its option to purchase the
existing portfolio of accounts receivable from WebBank at book value on May 12,
2004. The accounts receivable factoring arrangement generated revenue and income
in fiscal 2002 and 2003 which accounted for (a) substantially all of the revenue
and income generated by the Company's accounts receivable factoring operating
segment for those years, and (b) a significant part of the income and revenue of
the Company for those years. It is possible that this termination may not take
effect as provided in the termination notice and the arrangement may continue.
However, in the event of termination, there can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to successfully enter into a replacement arrangement or
arrangements. WebBank expects that if the May 2004 termination becomes effective
during the second quarter of 2004, WebBank will (a) not generate any gain or
loss on such termination as the sourcing and servicing company has elected to
purchase the portfolio of accounts receivable at WebBank's net book value, and
(b) generate approximately $5.9 million of cash as a result of the sale of the
portfolio. WebBank also anticipates that the cash generated by the May 2004
termination will be used to retire Certificates of Deposit as they mature.

Under a Termination Agreement dated February 27, 2004, WebBank and the second of
two companies providing accounts receivable factoring services to WebBank,
agreed to the termination of a Sourcing and Servicing Agreement and an
Employment Agreement between the parties. Under the terms of that Termination
Agreement, the accounts receivable factoring services company purchased a
portfolio of accounts receivable from WebBank at book value on March 2, 2004.
Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements shows the income and
expenses attributable to the Company's Accounts Receivable Factoring operating
segment, all of which were generated by the two accounts receivable factoring
arrangements described above. Neither of these arrangements was in effect during
2001. The Company believes that the termination of the two accounts receivable
factoring arrangements will have a significant adverse affect on its net income
during 2004.

On February 23, 2004, the third party sourcing company engaged to source private
label student loans on behalf of WebBank gave notice to WebBank that it would
not renew the Loan Sale Agreement and Loan Program Agreement between the two
parties. Consequently, those agreements will terminate at the conclusion of
their current term on May 31, 2004. The pretax income generated by the
terminated private label student loan program generated revenue of $150 for each
of the years 2003 and 2002.
