Supplemental disclosure of additional non-cash activities:

During the first quarter of 2003, the Company acquired foreclosed assets of $220
in  lieu of  loan  payments.  In the  third  quarter  of  2003,  these  acquired
foreclosed  assets were written down to an expected  market value of $200 net of
selling  costs.  In the first quarter of 2004, the same  foreclosed  assets were
written down again to an expected market value of $180 net of selling costs.

At March 31,  2004,  the  Company  had a balance  of net  unrealized  gains from
available-for-sale  securities of $90. The balance at December 31, 2003 was $55.
Net unrealized  gains and losses on  available-for-sale  securities are shown as
"accumulated  other   comprehensive   income"  on  the  Condensed   Consolidated
Statements  of  Financial  Condition.  The  change  in net  unrealized  gains on
available-for-sale securities between the two periods resulted in a $35 increase
in accumulated other comprehensive income in the first quarter of 2004.

      Basis of  Presentation--The  accompanying  interim condensed  consolidated
financial  statements of  WebFinancial  Corporation  and its  subsidiaries  (the
"Company")  are  unaudited  and  have  been  prepared  in  conformity  with  the
requirements of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),  particularly  Rule 10-01 thereof,  which
governs the presentation of interim financial statements.  Accordingly,  they do
not  include  all  of the  information  and  footnotes  required  by  accounting
principles  generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying
interim  condensed   consolidated   financial   statements  should  be  read  in
conjunction with the Company's  significant  accounting policies as set forth in
Note 1 to the consolidated  financial  statements in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB for the year ended  December  31, 2003 (the "2003  10-KSB").  The
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at December 31, 2003 was
extracted from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements contained
in the 2003 10-KSB, and does not include all disclosures  required by accounting
principles  generally  accepted  in the  United  States of  America  for  annual
consolidated financial statements.

      In the opinion of  management,  all  adjustments  are  comprised of normal
recurring  accruals necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial
statements.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2004.

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 three months
ended March 31, 2004 and 2003,  factoring  income earned by entities  other than
WebBank was $6 and $74, respectively.

Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated  Financial  Statements provides  information
regarding  termination of the WebBank  accounts  receivable  factoring  programs
described above as the first operating segment.

The following is a summary of selected  operating  segment  information  for the
quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.  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.

                                                                         Accounts

5.   TERMINATED OPERATIONS INFORMATION

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.  On May 6, 2004,  WebBank and the factoring  company  agreed to extend the
termination  date of the Sourcing and  Servicing  Agreement to December 31, 2004
and to extend  the  option  period  to  purchase  the  portfolio  to a  mutually
agreeable  date no earlier  than July 31,  2004 and no later than  December  31,
2004. The accounts receivable factoring  arrangement with that factoring company
accounted for  approximately 35% and 47% of the Company's  consolidated  revenue
and  85% and 66% of its  consolidated  operating  income  for  the  years  ended
December 31, 2002 and 2003,  respectively.  There can be no  assurance  that the
Company will be able to  successfully  enter into a replacement  arrangement  or
arrangements. The Company believes that if the purchase option becomes effective
during  2004,  WebBank will (a) not generate any gain or loss as a result of the
sale of the portfolio  because the factoring company has elected to purchase the
portfolio of accounts  receivable at WebBank's net book value,  and (b) generate
approximately  $6  million  of cash as a result  of the  sale of the  portfolio.
WebBank  anticipates  that the cash generated by a sale of the portfolio 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 factoring company purchased a portfolio of accounts  receivable from WebBank
at book value on March 2, 2004. This accounts receivable  factoring  arrangement
accounted for  approximately  5% of the Company's  consolidated  revenue for the
year ended December 31, 2003 and 8% of its consolidated operating income for the
year ended December 31, 2003.  This  arrangement did not account for any revenue
in 2002.

Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  shows the
income and expenses  attributable to the Company's accounts receivable factoring
operating  segment for the quarters  ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, all of which
were generated by the two accounts receivable factoring  arrangements  described
above.  The  Company  believes  that the  termination  of one or both 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  terminated  private label student loan
program  generated  revenue of $25 and $38 for each of the quarters  ended March
31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

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

      The  following   discussion   should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the
consolidated  unaudited  interim  financial  statements  as of and for the three
month period ended March 31, 2004 of the Company and the notes thereto presented
elsewhere herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003

      At March 31, 2004, accounts  receivable  factoring  constituted  WebBank's
principal line of business.  WebBank is engaged in accounts receivable factoring
utilizing  a factoring  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  no later  than
December  31,  2004  (see  Note  5  of  the  Notes  to  Consolidated   Financial
Statements),  and that another  accounts  receivable  program was  terminated in
February 2004. The accounts receivable  factoring  arrangement that is scheduled
to be terminated no later than December 31, 2004 generated revenue and income in
fiscal  years 2002 and 2003 which  accounted  for (a)  substantially  all of the
revenue and  operating  income  generated by the Company's  accounts  receivable
factoring  operating  segment for those years, and (b) a significant part of the
revenue and  operating  income of the Company for those years (see Note 4 of the
Notes  to  Condensed  Consolidated  Financial  Statements).   In  light  of  the
significant   revenue  and  operating  income   attributable  to  this  accounts
receivable factoring  arrangement,  the Company believes that an exercise of the
purchase  option   significantly  prior  to  December  31,  2004  could  have  a
significant  adverse  affect on its net income  during  2004.  The Company  also
believes that if the purchase option becomes effective during 2004, WebBank will
(a) not  generate  any  gain or loss as a result  of the  sale of the  portfolio
because the factoring  company has elected to purchase the portfolio of accounts
receivable  at  WebBank's  net book value,  and (b)  generate  approximately  $6
million of cash as a result of the sale of the  portfolio.  WebBank  anticipates
that  the  cash  generated  by a sale of the  portfolio  will be used to  retire
Certificates of Deposit as they mature.

      Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was $(175,000) or $(.04) per
share  compared  to net income of $214,000 or $.05 per share for the same period
in 2003. The change between quarters  represented a decrease of $389,000 or $.09
per share.

      The  Company's  net  interest  income  before  credit  for  credit  losses
increased  by  $22,000.  Interest  income  from  accounts  receivable  factoring
increased  by  $30,000  due to a  $2,000,000  increase  in  average  receivables
outstanding.  Interest  income from investment  securities  increased by $22,000
because of interest  recognized on several annuity  contracts in 2004.  Interest
expense   decreased  by  $24,000  due  to  a  $1,400,000   decrease  in  average
certificates  of deposit.  These  positive  factors were  partially  offset by a
decrease in interest  income from loans of $49,000.  The average  balance of the
commercial loan portfolio for the first quarter of 2004 was $2,400,000 less than
the  average  for the  first  quarter  of 2003.  The  Company  discontinued  new
originations of commercial loans in 2001.

      The following table shows an analysis of net interest income before credit
for credit losses for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003:

The  following  table  represents  the  effect of  changes  in  volume  (average
balances)  and  interest  rates on  interest  income,  interest  expense and net
interest income when comparing the first quarter of 2004 to the first quarter of
2003.  The  effect of a change in volume has been  determined  by  applying  the
highest  average  rate to the change in the  average  balances  between  the two
periods.  The  effect of a change in the  average  rate has been  determined  by
applying the highest  average balance to the change in average rates between the
two  periods.  Changes  resulting  from  a mix  of  volume/rate  variances  were
distributed proportionately between volume and rate based on the relative values
of the volume and rate variances to the total mix variance.

The credit for credit  losses  increased by $22,000.  A credit for credit losses
rather than a provision for credit losses is the result of principal  reductions
and risk grade changes  within the  discontinued  commercial  loan  portfolio at
WebBank.  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.

losses for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 :

            Noninterest income for the Company decreased by $20,000.  Fee income
decreased  by  $92,000,  primarily  because  of  a  decline  in  the  number  of
fee-for-services partners at WebBank. Miscellaneous income increased by $72,000,
primarily   because  of  an  increase  in   servicing   income  from   factoring
participations at WebBank.

                                       14





            The   Company's   noninterest   expenses   increased   by  $334,000,
comparatively,  between the two quarters.  The primary reason for the change was
an increase in  professional  and legal fees of $159,000,  the majority of which
were for legal  costs  related  to  filings  with the SEC.  Accounts  receivable
factoring  management and broker fees increased by $95,000 due to higher average
balances  and  additional   marketing   expenses  in  2004.  Other  general  and
administrative expense increased in 2004 by $57,000,  primarily due to a $20,000
write down of foreclosed  assets.

            Income tax  expense  increased  by  $87,000.  The  Company  began to
recognize deferred taxes at the end of 2003, resulting in a larger tax provision
in 2004.

            Other comprehensive  income decreased by $274,000 due to a change in
the market value of securities available- for-sale.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

            At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company's cash and cash
equivalents totaled $7,201,000 and $7,245,000,  respectively.  The cash balances
at  those  dates  included  liquidity  to  fund  expected  growth  in  purchased
receivables.  However, after accumulating these balances, notices of termination
were given with  respect to two  agreements  included  in the  WebBank  accounts
receivable  factoring  program.  Based on the terms of the  accounts  receivable
factoring  agreements,  the other  parties to the  agreements  have the right to
purchase  our  current  portfolio  of  purchased  receivables.  One other  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  purchased  receivables  is purchased by the second other
party,  the Company also  intends to use those  proceeds of  approximately  $5.9
million to reduce the outstanding certificates of deposit as they mature.

            The Company's funding depends primarily on brokered  certificates of
deposit.  Brokered  certificates  of deposit  are time  deposits,  generally  in
amounts of $100,000 or less, placed in a bank by a broker. The broker receives a
fee from the bank and/or the depositor for providing this intermediary  service.
Depositors  that  invest in  brokered  certificates  of  deposit  are  generally
interest  rate  sensitive  and  well  informed  about  alternative  markets  and
investments. Consequently, funding with brokered certificates of deposit may not
provide the same stability to a bank's deposit base as traditional  local retail
deposit  relationships.  Because of the  Company's  dependence on the market for
brokered  certificates of deposit (94% of total deposits at March 31, 2004), its
liquidity may be negatively  impacted if that funding source  experiences supply
difficulties  due to loss of investor  confidence or a flight to higher  quality
investments.   In  addition,   only  banks  that  are  determined  to  be  "well
capitalized"  by their  regulatory  agencies  are  permitted  to issue  brokered
certificates of deposit without restriction. In the event WebBank were no longer
classified as "well capitalized," it might be required to obtain permission from
its regulators to issue brokered certificates of deposit,  which could be denied
under certain circumstances.

            The  Company's  operating  results may be  negatively  impacted by a
change in interest rates required to obtain brokered certificates of deposit. In
general,  increases in interest rates on brokered  certificates  of deposit will
reduce  the  Company's  operating  income.  Increases  in the  rates  we pay for
brokered  certificates  of  deposit  could  occur  because  of  various  reasons
including shifts in the Treasury yield curve, a loss of confidence in the market
for brokered  certificates of deposit,  a potential  mismatch versus maturity or
duration of the  Company's  earning  assets,  or a  deterioration  of  WebBank's
financial condition.

            Funding for WebBank is also available 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 the record  date 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.

                                       15





            The Company and Steel  Partners,  Ltd., an entity  controlled by the
Company's  Chairman and Chief  Executive  Officer,  devote  significant  time to
exploration of potential  acquisition  and other business  opportunities  of the
Company.  There can be no assurance  that the Company will be able to acquire an
additional  business  or  secure  other  business  opportunities,  or that  such
business or other business opportunities 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.  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 March 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, 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
$6,814,00 and $8,138,000,  respectively. Notices of termination have been issued
with respect to certain accounts receivable factoring and service arrangements.

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 of the Company's  2003 10-KSB 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  of  the  Company's  2003  10-KSB  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 quarter  ended March 31,
2004.

            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 quarter ended March 31, 2004.

            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 March 31,  2004,  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  QUARTERLY  REPORT  ON  FORM  10-QSB  AND  PRESENTED  ELSEWHERE  BY
MANAGEMENT.  ALL FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS INCLUDED IN THIS DOCUMENT ARE BASED
ON  INFORMATION  AVAILABLE  TO THE COMPANY ON THE DATE  HEREOF,  AND THE COMPANY
ASSUMES NO OBLIGATION TO UPDATE ANY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. A NUMBER OF
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 IN THIS QUARTERLY  REPORT ON FORM 10-QSB AND THE RISK
FACTORS IN THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-KSB.

ITEM 3.  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-QSB, 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-QSB, 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
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e).  Based upon that evaluation,  the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief  Financial  Officer  concluded  that the Company's  disclosure
controls and procedures are effective to insure that information  required to be
disclosed  in the reports  that the  Company  files  under the  Exchange  Act is
recorded,  processed,  summarized and reported within the time periods specified
by the SEC's rules and  regulations.  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.

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

            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-QSB.
