            Issuer's revenues for its most recent fiscal year:   $4,821,000

            Based upon the closing price of the registrant's Common Stock, $.001
par value (the "Common Stock") on March 31, 2005, the aggregate  market value of
the 2,735,250  shares of Common Stock held by  non-affiliates  of the issuer was
$6,236,370.  Solely  for  the  purposes  of  this  calculation,  shares  held by
directors and officers of the  registrant  have been  excluded.  Such  exclusion
should not be deemed a determination or an admission by the issuer that all such
individuals are, in fact, affiliates of the issuer.

            As of April 13, 2005,  2,183,433 shares of the  registrant's  Common

stock split  effected by the Company on April 5, 2005.  All share  ownership and
share price  information  set forth in this Form 10-KSB is as of the date stated
for such information, and if prior to April 5, 2005, does not give effect to the
reverse  stock split.  However,  income  (loss) per share  amounts and number of

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
Holding Corporation  ("WebFinancial  Holding") 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  Holding 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  anywhere  in 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.  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.

            On January 31, 2005, the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation and
the Department of Financial Institutions for the State of Utah issued to WebBank
an Order to Cease and Desist (the "Order") in connection with alleged violations
of certain banking  regulations.  WebBank consented to the issuance of the Order
without  admitting or denying the alleged charges.  The Order prohibits  certain
actions such as purchasing  factored accounts receivable until proper procedures
and policies are in place, extending additional credit to substandard borrowers,
and  paying  cash  dividends.  The Order also  prohibits  WebBank  from  issuing
brokered  certificates of deposit in an aggregate amount greater than the amount
outstanding on the effective date of the Order,  which is $7,465,000.  The Order
also contains  certain  requirements  which WebBank  intends to fully and timely
meet. See "Risk Factors-Our failure to comply with the Order to Cease and Desist
issued to WebBank would have a negative  effect on our ongoing  operations"  and
Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

            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  currently  focuses  primarily in the lines of business
described below:

                                       1




            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  suspended  by
                WebBank in 2001.  WebBank had  approximately  $4,800,000  of B&I
                loans  outstanding  as of  December  31, 2004 and  continues  to
                service  loans in its existing  portfolio  and for several other
                investors.

            o   FEE FOR SERVICE  LENDING.  This is a form of unsecured  consumer
                lending that operates under an arrangement between WebBank and a
                third  party.  A third party  company is engaged to source these
                loans.  The loan is underwritten to WebBank's  credit  standards
                and is funded by WebBank.  The third party  purchases  each loan
                shortly after origination.  As of December 31, 2004 only one fee
                for service  arrangement was in place.  It allowed  customers to
                finance  elective  surgery or other treatments not covered under
                traditional health insurance plans. In May 2004, another fee for
                services  arrangement was terminated.  In that program,  WebBank
                provided   financing  for  private  label  student  loans.   The
                terminated arrangement represented less than 5% of the Company's
                revenues in each year of 2004 and 2003.

            During 2004, the following line of business was suspended:

            o   ACCOUNTS  RECEIVABLE  FACTORING.  On December 30, 2004,  WebBank
                sold its remaining accounts  receivable  financing  portfolio at
                book  value  with  no gain or loss  recorded  on the  sale.  See
                "Certain   Relationships   and  Related   Transactions"   for  a
                description of this transaction. From early 2002 to December 30,
                2004,  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. During
                those  years,   WebBank  was  engaged  in  accounts   receivable
                factoring utilizing two sourcing and servicing companies. One of
                the two accounts  receivable programs was terminated in February
                2004,  and the  other  was  terminated  on  December  30,  2004,
                simultaneously  with the  sale of the  portfolio.  The  accounts
                receivable factoring arrangement that was terminated in December
                2004 generated  revenue and income in fiscal 2003 and 2004 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) 64% and 47% of the
                Company's consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31,
                2004 and 2003, respectively.

            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.
WebBank's  acquisition  of any new business line as well as additional  factored
accounts  receivable are subject to certain  limitations in the Order (See "Risk
Factors - Our  failure to comply  with the Order to Cease and  Desist  issued to
WebBank would have a negative  effect on our ongoing  operations"  and Note 2 to
the Consolidated Financial  Statements).  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.

                       Amount of interest accrued during period              $   --          $   17


            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.

DEPOSITS

            The Company offers, through its WebBank subsidiary,  a limited range
of deposit products.  All of the Company's deposit products,  with the exception
of certificates of deposit,  are with business customers.  For a full discussion
of the  Company's  certificates  of  deposit,  see "Risk  Factors - Reliance  on
brokered  certificates  of deposit could have a negative effect on our liquidity
and operating results."

            The  following  table shows the  average  amount and rate on deposit
categories  in excess of 10% of  average  total  deposits  for the years  ending
December 31, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands).  The Company had no foreign  deposits

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

                                       6





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,
2004, WebBank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

            As discussed  in more detail in Note 2 of the Notes to  Consolidated
Financial  Statements,  WebBank  was  issued  an Order on  January  31,  2005 in
connection  with alleged  violations  of certain  banking  regulations.  WebBank
consented to the issuance of the Order without  admitting or denying the alleged
violations of those banking  regulations.  As a result of the Order,  WebBank is
required by the FDIC and the State of Utah Department of Financial  Institutions
to  complete a number of  actions  within  specified  periods of time and cannot
perform certain actions. For example,  WebBank must develop and submit a written
three-year strategic plan within 120 days of the effective date of the Order and
WebBank  cannot  purchase  factored  accounts  receivable  until  complying with
specific requirements. WebBank has complied with several of the requirements and
actions and although  the Company  feels that WebBank will fully comply with the
Order on a timely basis,  it is possible  that  unforeseen  circumstances  could
delay submissions  beyond due dates or cause responses to be unacceptable to the
regulators.  See "Risk  Factors - Our  failure to comply with the Order to Cease
and  Desist  issued to  WebBank  would  have a  negative  effect on our  ongoing
operations", and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

EMPLOYMENT

            As of March 31, 2005, the Company had 3 employees,  all of whom were
full-time  employees.  The Company  believes  that its  employee  relations  are
satisfactory.  Steel  Partners,  Ltd.  ("SPL"),  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 and  currently  interim  President/CEO  of WebBank,  provides
management, accounting and financial services to WebBank pursuant to an Employee
Allocation  Agreement  between  WebBank and SPL. In  addition,  WebBank's  Chief
Financial Officer,  David Fischer,  provides certain accounting  services to the
Company  pursuant to an Employee  Allocation  Agreement  between WebBank and the
Company. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

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
SPL. See "Certain  Relationships and Related  Transactions." The Company has the
non-exclusive  right to use the office  space along with SPL 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.  After that date,  WebBank expects to rent the same
space  under the same  terms on a month to month  basis  until  such time it has
entered into a new lease.

            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

                                        7



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.

            As discussed in more detail in Note 20 of the Notes to  Consolidated
Financial  Statements,  WebBank  was  issued an Order to Cease and  Desist  (the
"Order") on January 31, 2005 in  connection  with alleged  violations of certain
banking  regulations.  WebBank  consented to the  issuance of the Order  without
admitting or denying the alleged charges.  As a result of the Order,  WebBank is
required by the FDIC and the State of Utah Department of Financial  Institutions
to complete a number of actions within  specified  periods of time. For example,
WebBank must develop and submit a written  three-year  strategic plan within 120
days of the effective date of the Order. Although the Company feels that WebBank
will comply with the Order on a timely  basis,  it is possible  that  unforeseen
circumstances  could delay submissions beyond due dates or cause responses to be
unacceptable to the  regulators.  See "Risk Factors - Our failure to comply with
the Order to Cease and Desist issued to WebBank would have a negative  effect on
our ongoing operations."

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

            As of March  31,  2005,  there  were 201  holders  of  record of the
Company's Common Stock.

            On July 14, 2004, the Company issued to stockholders of record as of
July 9, 2004 (the "Record  Date") one right for each share of Common Stock owned
on the Record Date (the "Offering").  Each right entitled stockholders of record
to purchase one share of the Company's  Common Stock at a subscription  price of
$2.25 per  share.  The  rights  expired on August  13,  2004.  All  rights  were
exercised in the Offering.  Accordingly,  the Company raised  approximately $9.8
million,  before  expenses,  and an additional  4,366,866 shares of Common Stock
were issued to shareholders who exercised their rights.

            As  discussed  in  Item 4 -  "Submission  of  Matters  to a Vote  of
Security   Holders"  of  this  Form  10-KSB,  at  the  2004  annual  meeting  of
stockholders  held on December 15, 2004, the Company's  stockholders  approved a
reverse  split of the  Company's  common stock and a reduction of the  Company's
authorized number of shares of common and preferred stock. At that time, neither
the final  amounts nor the  effective  dates were  determined  for the  approved
actions.  On  March  9,  2005,  the  Company's  Board of  Directors  approved  a
one-for-four reverse stock split, a reduction of the Company's authorized number
of shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 5,000,000  shares,  and a reduction
of the Company's  authorized number of shares of preferred stock from 10,000,000
to 500,000  shares.  The reverse  split became  effective on April 5, 2005 as to
shareholders  of record on April 4, 2005.  After  giving  effect to the  reverse
split,   there  will  be  approximately   2,183,433  common  shares  issued  and
outstanding.  The  reductions  of  authorized  number of  shares  of common  and
preferred stock became effective on April 5, 2005. All share ownership and share
price  information  in this  Form  10-KSB  is as of the  date  stated  for  such
information,  and if prior to April 5, 2005, does not give effect to the reverse
stock  split.  However,  income  (loss) per share  amounts  and number of common
shares  used to  compute  basic  and  diluted  income  (loss)  per share do give
retroactive  effect  to the  reverse  split  for  the  entirety  of all  periods
presented, unless otherwise indicated.

            The Company  paid no cash  dividends  on its Common Stock during the
last two fiscal  years.  The Company  intends to retain any future  earnings for
working capital needs and to finance potential future acquisitions and presently
does not intend to pay cash  dividends on its Common  Stock for the  foreseeable
future.  As discussed in more detail in Note 20 of the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, WebBank was issued an Order to Cease and Desist on January
31, 2005, which among other things, prohibits WebBank from paying cash dividends
without  the  written  consent of the FDIC and the State of Utah  Department  of
Financial Institutions.

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

            INTEREST INCOME. Interest income decreased by $717,000, or 17%, from
2003 to 2004. This decrease was primarily due to a $730,000, or 23%, decrease in
interest and fees from purchased factoring receivables.  All other categories of
interest income remained  relatively  stable between years. In 2003, the average
balance of outstanding  purchased  factoring  receivables was $6,908,000 with an
average yield of 46.3% which  generated  interest  income of $3,200,000.  During
2004,  the  average  balance  of  outstanding  purchased  factoring  receivables
remained  fairly  constant  at  $7,096,000,  but the yield  decreased  to 34.8%,
resulting in interest  income of $2,470,000.  The decrease in yield between 2003
and 2004 was the result of a combination of stricter  underwriting  standards on
new clients and a greater  number of older loans on  nonaccrual  status in 2004.
All other  categories of interest  income  remained  relatively  stable  between
years.

            INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Interest expense  decreased by $92,000,  or 27%,
from 2003 to 2004. All of the Company's interest expense was incurred by WebBank
during both years. WebBank's average deposits increased from $12,899,000 in 2003
to  $10,273,000  in 2004,  and the average  interest rate paid on those deposits
decreased from 2.60% to 2.38%.  Because  accounts  receivable  factoring did not
grow as anticipated  during 2004,  WebBank did not renew several of its maturing
certificates  of deposit.  NOW/MMA  balances  declined  between years as the two
factoring companies withdrew funds earned from management fees.

            The  following  table  represents  the  effect of  changes in volume
(average  balances) and interest rates on interest  income and interest  expense
when  comparing the year 2004 to the year 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 results of the analysis are presented below (in thousands):

            PROVISION FOR CREDIT  LOSSES.  The credit loss  provision  decreased
from $394,000 in 2003 to $62,000 in 2004.  The primary  reasons for the decrease
were the sale of WebBank's accounts  receivable  factoring portfolio in December
2004 and the  continuing  runoff of WebBank's  commercial  loan  portfolio.  The
Company's accounts  receivable  factoring portfolio decreased from approximately
$7,400,000  at the  end of  2003  to $0 at the  end  of  2004.  Other  purchased
receivables  decreased  from  nearly  $300,000  to $0 and  the  commercial  loan
portfolio decreased from approximately  $8,800,000 to $5,950,000 during the same
period.  The decrease in loan balances  outstanding and an increase in total net
charge-offs  resulted in a $981,000 decrease in the allowance for credit losses.
As a result of the above factors,  the credit loss provision  decreased  between
years.

loss experience is furnished in the following table for the years ended December

            The  allowance for credit losses is  established  upon  management's
evaluation of the potential  credit losses in the Company's loan  portfolio.  In
analyzing the adequacy of the Company's allowance,  management considers its own
review as well as the results of independent external credit reviews, changes in
the composition and volume of the loan portfolio,  levels of non-performing  and
charge-off  loans,  local and national economic  conditions,  and other factors.
Performing  loans are evaluated  under the  guidelines of Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  5  and  other  current  accounting  literature.
Performing commercial, financial, and agricultural loans are evaluated on a loan
by  loan  basis.  Other  performing  loans  are  evaluated  on a  pooled  basis.
Nonperforming  and other  impaired  loans are  evaluated on a loan by loan basis
under the guidelines of SFAS 114. (See "Critical  Accounting  Issues - Allowance
for Credit  Losses" for  further  details  regarding  the  determination  of the
allowance).


                                       12



            NONINTEREST INCOME.  Noninterest income decreased from $1,580,000 in
2003 to $1,305,000 in 2004, a change of $275,000,  or 21%. A significant  amount
of the  decrease  was due to a gain on  equity  securities  of  $891,000  by the
Company in 2003 versus a gain of only $1,000 in 2004. However, this decrease was
offset by a $629,000  increase in  noninterest  income from accounts  receivable
factoring  servicing  revenue.  This revenue was generated  from  servicing fees
charged  to  investors  that  participated  with  WebBank  in  several  accounts
receivable factoring transactions.

            NONINTEREST EXPENSES.  Noninterest expense increased from $3,623,000
in 2003 to  $5,018,000  in 2004,  a change of  $1,395,000,  or 39%.  The primary
reason for the increase was the write off of the remaining $1,380,000 of WebBank
goodwill as of December 31, 2004.  The write off was the result of a third party
valuation  test  performed in accordance  with SFAS 142. The absence of a market
proxy for the value of WebBank  resulted in reliance on an income  approach  for
the valuation.  However, the sale of the accounts receivable factoring portfolio
combined with  WebBank's  Order to Cease and Desist (see Note 20 of the Notes to
Consolidated  Financial  Statements) caused uncertainty regarding the timing and
nature of replacing  that product line.  Therefore,  projections  of future cash
flows could not support the  remaining  book value of goodwill.  (See  "Critical
Accounting  Issues - Goodwill" for further details  regarding the goodwill write
off).

            INCOME  TAXES.  Income tax expense of $491,000  was recorded in 2004
and an income tax benefit of  $(756,000)  was  recorded in 2003.  This  occurred
despite a book pretax loss in 2004 and book pretax income in 2003.

             The income  tax  expense  in 2004 was  primarily  the result of the
nondectibility  of the goodwill  write off discussed in the previous  section on
noninterest expenses. The income tax benefit in 2003 was primarily the result of
a reduction  in the  Company's  valuation  allowance  for deferred  taxes.  (See
"Critical  Accounting  Issues - Deferred  Taxes" for further  details  regarding
changes in the valuation allowance for deferred taxes).

INTEREST RATE RISK

            Movements in interest  rates can  significantly  impact the interest
the Company  earns on loans and  investments  as well as the interest it pays on
deposits and other borrowings.  The Company monitors the risk through the use of
gap measurement.  Gap measurement  analyzes the difference between the amount of
assets  that  reprice  during  specific  periods  of  time  and  the  amount  of
liabilities that reprice during the same corresponding  periods. This provides a
relative measure of the impact on net interest income from future changes in the
direction  of interest  rates.  Using gap  measurement,  if the Company has more
assets repricing or subject to change during a period of time than  liabilities,
it is asset sensitive. If more liabilities reprice or are subject to change than
assets,  it is  liability  sensitive.  As of December  31,  2004,  the  interest
sensitivity of WebBank for the following periods was as follows:

            The Cumulative Repricing GAP %'s above, which are greater than 100%,
indicate that WebBank is asset  sensitive for all cumulative  repricing  periods
presented.  The Company's focus has been to remain asset sensitive in periods of
historically  low interest rates.  This has been  accomplished by lending almost
exclusively  on a  variable  rate  basis and  extending  the  maturities  of the
Company's  brokered  certificates of deposit as necessary to create the level of
interest  sensitivity  the Company  desires.  As rates rise, the Company's loans
will  reprice more quickly on average  than the deposit  base,  creating  larger
interest  margins and higher interest  income.  If interest rates decrease,  the
opposite  effect will occur,  however to a lesser degree.  Downside  protections
include the fact that  interest  rates are at  historic  low levels and the fact
that 77% of the  loans in the  commercial  loan  portfolio  have  interest  rate
floors.

MARKET RISK

            The Company  invests in securities from time to time which expose it
to a risk of loss arising from  adverse  changes in prices of those  securities.
Some  investments  are of a fixed income variety such as U.S.  Treasuries,  U.S.
Agencies, and municipal securities.  Other investments are of the equity variety
such as securities of public companies that are publicly traded.  In both cases,
the  securities  are accounted for under the guidelines of SFAS 115. The Company
classifies its securities as either  "available for sale," which are recorded at
the lower of cost or fair value or "held to  maturity,"  which are  recorded  at
cost.  The Company does not  generally  engage in practices  that would  require
classification  of its securities as "trading." The Company  recognized gains on
sales of available-for-sale  securities of $1,000 and $891,000 in the years 2004
and 2003,  respectively.  The Company also recorded a loss on the  impairment of
available-for-sale  securities  of $0 and  $334,000  in the years 2004 and 2003,
respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

            Liquidity  risk is the  possibility  that the  Company's  cash flows
might not be adequate to fund its ongoing operations and meet its obligations in


                                       14



a timely  and  cost  effective  manner.  The  Company  monitors  liquidity  risk
primarily  through GAP methodology,  that is, the measurement of how quickly its
assets mature versus how quickly its liabilities  mature.  If more assets mature
in a given time period than  liabilities,  the Company is asset  sensitive.  The
more asset  sensitive the Company is, the more liquid it is because the existing
funding  sources are  available  to replace any assets that run off. A sample of
WebBank's liquidity positions for the next six months and one year from December
31, 2004 are shown below:

                                                           Six Months    One Year
                                                           ----------    --------
           Cumulative Total Assets Maturing ($000)          $10,252      $10,580
           Cumulative Total Liabilities Maturing ($000)     $ 6,717      $ 8,730
           Cumulative Maturity GAP ($000)                   $ 3,535      $ 1,850
           Cumulative Maturity GAP (%)                        152.6%       121.2%

            The Cumulative  Maturity GAP %'s for the next six and twelve months,
which are greater than 100%,  indicate that WebBank is asset sensitive for those
periods.  The  Company has tried to be matched or slightly  asset  sensitive  in
order to moderate  liability risk. This has been  accomplished by focusing asset
growth on purchased receivable lending, which has short maturities, and matching
or extending the maturities of the Company's brokered certificates of deposit as
necessary to create the level of liquidity it desires, taking into consideration
the levels of other risks such as interest rate risk.

            At December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003,  the Company's  cash and
cash equivalents totaled $22,181,000 and $7,245,000,  respectively. The increase
in cash and cash equivalent balances between periods reflects a) proceeds of the
Company's common stock subscription rights offering and b) the sale of WebBank's
accounts receivable factoring portfolio.  The rights offering,  which expired on
August 13, 2004,  resulted in gross proceeds of  approximately  $9,800,000.  The
proceeds will be used for working  capital and for general  corporate  purposes.
The sale of the  WebBank  accounts  receivable  factoring  portfolio,  which was
consummated  on  December  30,  2004,  resulted  in  proceeds  of  approximately
$4,200,000.  WebBank  intends to use those  proceeds  to reduce the  outstanding
certificates of deposit as they mature.

            Funding for WebBank is obtained primarily from brokered certificates
of deposit  obtained  through  brokers and from a $1,000,000  unsecured  line of
credit with a local correspondent bank. However,  the Order restricts the amount
of brokered  certificates  of deposits  that  WebBank is allowed to issue to the
amount outstanding on the effective date of the Order, which is $7,465,000,  See
"Risk Factors-Our failure to comply with the Order to Cease and Desist issued to
WebBank would have a negative  effect on our ongoing  operations"  and Note 2 of
the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

            Management  believes  that  the  Company's  current  cash  and  cash
equivalent  balances and expected  operating cash flows are adequate to meet the
Company's liquidity needs through at least the next 12 months.

            The Company and SPL, 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  periodically 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 uses
the same credit policy in making  commitments and conditional  obligations as it
does for on-balance sheet instruments.


                                       15



            At December 31, 2004 and 2003, 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 $0 and $8,138, 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.   WebBank  evaluates  each
customer's credit  worthiness on a case-by-case  basis. The amount of collateral
obtained if deemed  necessary  by WebBank  upon  extension of credit is based on
management's credit evaluation of the borrower.

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. The amount of allowance for credit losses assigned to a loan
or group of loans is determined by the category of loan as described below:

            o   The  allowance  for credit  losses for  non-impaired  commercial
                loans  is  calculated  on a loan by  loan  basis.  Each  loan is
                assigned a grade ranging from 1 (excellent) to 7  (substandard).
                A two  dimensional  matrix is used to  determine  the  amount of
                allowance assigned.

                One axis of the matrix  consists of six risk factors which could
                contribute to a potential  loss for that loan.  The risk factors
                cover both a) elements related  specifically to the loan such as
                financial  condition of the borrower and value of collateral and
                b) elements related to external matters such as the condition of
                the local economy or industry  trends.  Each of the risk factors
                is assigned a  percentage  weight which  reflects the  potential
                risk of loss relative to each of the other five factors.

                The  second  axis of the  matrix  consists  of up to  five  risk
                levels.  Each of the risk levels is  represented by a percentage
                figure that equals the portion of the  outstanding  loan balance
                that is expected to be a loss. The risk level  percentage  falls
                within a range of  percentages  assigned  to that grade based on
                historical loss experience.

                The  allowance  for  credit  losses  for a  particular  loan  is
                calculated  by  matching  one of the five risk levels to each of
                the six risk factors.  The product of the risk level  percentage
                and the risk factor  weight is  calculated  for each risk factor
                and all six are summed to produce the  allowance for credit loss
                percentage used for that loan.

                The matrix approach allows the Company to quantify, in a logical
                fashion  based  on  both  historical  experience  and  currently
                available  information,  whether or not a future  credit loss is
                probable and, if so,  approximately  how much that loss will be.
                This methodology,  in the Company's  opinion,  complies with the
                guidelines of the SFAS 5,  "Accounting  for  Contingencies"  and
                related accounting and regulatory guidelines.

                The above  calculation is performed for non-impaired  commercial
                loans ranging from grade 1 (excellent) to grade 7 (substandard).
                For loans graded 8 (doubtful) or 9 (loss),  which are considered
                impaired,  the  matrix is not used.  The  allowance  for  credit
                losses for impaired loans is calculated  using the guidelines of
                SFAS 114, "Accounting for Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." A
                loan is  considered  impaired if it is probable that the Company
                will not collect all amounts due  according  to the  contractual
                terms of the original loan agreement.  The preferred methodology
                for  calculating  impairment  under SFAS 114 is to calculate the
                present  value of expected cash flows from the loan and subtract
                that from the current book value of the loan. The difference, if
                positive,  requires  additional  allowance for credit losses. If


                                       16



                the loan is collateral dependent, another methodology used is to
                determine  the  market  value of the  collateral,  less  selling
                expenses,  and subtract  that from the current book value of the
                loan. The difference, if positive, requires additional allowance
                for credit losses.

            o   Prior  to  the  sale  of  the  accounts   receivable   factoring
                portfolio,  the  allowance  for credit  losses for  non-impaired
                purchased receivables was calculated on a pooled or group basis.
                The allowance  amount was based on a percentage  of  outstanding
                receivables  which  took into  consideration  a  combination  of
                historical  loss  experience and industry loss  experience.  The
                allowance for credit losses for impaired  purchased  receivables
                was  calculated on a loan by loan basis in  accordance  with the
                guidelines of SFAS 114 as described above.

           o    The  allowance  for  credit  losses  for  credit  card  loans is
                calculated on a pooled or group basis.  The allowance  amount is
                based on a percentage  of  outstanding  receivables  which takes
                into  consideration  a combination of historical loss experience
                and current trends.

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.

GOODWILL

            WebBank  was  purchased  by Rose's  International  Inc.  from  Block
Financial  Corporation  on August 31, 1998. The  acquisition  was made using the
purchase method of accounting which reflects an allocation of the purchase price
to the assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  (net  assets).  Because  the
purchase price at the time was more than the value of the net assets  purchased,
goodwill was recorded to reflect the excess.

            The accounting for goodwill at the time of the WebBank  purchase was
governed  by  Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion  ("APB")  17  which  became
effective  in 1970.  APB 17 assumed  that  goodwill  was a wasting  asset with a
finite life and should be amortized over a period not to exceed 40 years. APB 17
was superseded by SFAS 142, which was adopted by WebBank on January 1, 2002.

            SFAS 142 presumed  that  goodwill is not a wasting  asset and has an
indefinite life. Therefore, the requirement to amortize goodwill was eliminated.
However,  amortization  was  replaced by the  requirement  to test  annually for
impairment  of the  goodwill  asset.  If for some  reason  the book value of the
goodwill could not be supported,  the impairment  would be recognized by writing
the goodwill down to its fair value.

            WebBank determined that goodwill was not impaired as of December 31,
2002 and 2003 in  accordance  with SFAS 142. At December 31, 2004, a third party
valuation test was performed, also in accordance with SFAS 142. The absence of a
market proxy for the value of WebBank resulted in reliance on an income approach
for the  valuation.  However,  the  sale of the  accounts  receivable  factoring
portfolio  combined with WebBank's Order to Cease and Desist (see Note 20 of the
Notes to Consolidated  Financial  Statements) caused  uncertainty  regarding the
timing and nature of replacing  that product  line.  Therefore,  projections  of
future cash flows could not  support  the value of  goodwill  and the  remaining
$1,380,000 of goodwill was written off as of December 31, 2004.

DEFERRED 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

                                       17




differences  between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit
carry  forwards.  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.

            From  its  inception  in  1998  through  the  end of  2001,  WebBank
experienced a history of  inconsistent  earnings which made it "more likely than
not" that some  portion or all of its deferred tax assets would not be realized.
Therefore,  a valuation  allowance  for deferred tax assets was  established  in
accordance with SFAS 109. As of December 31, 2003, the Company  determined that,
based  on the  two  previous  year's  earnings  and  the  prospect  for  similar
performance in the foreseeable future, it was "more likely than not" that all of
WebBank's deferred tax assets would be realized.  As a result, the amount of the
valuation  allowance  remaining  at  WebBank  at that  time was  reversed  and a
deferred tax asset of $757,000 was recognized.

            As of December 31, 2004, the Company determined that the lack of new
lines of business to replace the accounts receivable  factoring line of business
made it "more  likely  than  not" that the net  operating  loss  portion  of the
deferred tax asset would not be realized.  Therefore,  a valuation allowance was
established to cover the portion of WebBank's deferred tax assets related to its
remaining net operating  loss portion,  leaving a net deferred tax asset balance
of  $303,000.  See  Notes  1 and  12 of  the  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements for a further  description of the methodology  used by the Company to
determine the deferred tax valuation allowance.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

            WebBank 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  SFAS  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,  2004,  the Company did not have any
unrealized losses on investment securities.

            SFAS 123R is a revision  of SFAS 123,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation" and supersedes APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
This  Statement  will  require  the  Company to  recognize  the cost of employee
services received in share-based payment transactions based on the fair value of
the shares awarded.  As stated in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated  Financial
Statements,  the Company currently  measures  compensation costs for stock-based
payments as prescribed by APB 25. While APB 25 generally resulted in recognition
of no  compensation  cost,  SFAS 123R will  typically  result in  recognition of
compensation  cost.  The  Company  is  required  to  adopt  SFAS  123R as of the
beginning of 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 123R to have
a material  impact on its financial  condition or results of operations  for the
year ended December 31, 2006.

                           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


                                       18



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.

OUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST ISSUED TO WEBBANK WOULD
HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR ONGOING OPERATIONS.

            As  discussed  in  Note 2 of the  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements,  On January 31,  2005,  the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation
("FDIC")  and the  Department  of Financial  Institutions  for the State of Utah
issued to WebBank an Order to Cease and Desist (the "Order") in connection  with
alleged  violations of certain  banking  regulations.  WebBank  consented to the
issuance of the Order  without  admitting  or denying the alleged  charges.  The
Order requires  WebBank to comply with a number of  requirements  which include,
but is not  limited to  increasing  the number of  directors,  increasing  board
involvement,  hiring new  executive  officers,  creating a three-year  strategic
plan, charging off or collecting certain classified loans, revising and adopting
various policies,  developing and adopting a budget plan and a capital plan that
is designed to maintain an adequate level of Capital  protection for the kind of
and  quality  of assets  held by the bank,  and  establishing  and  implementing
procedures  for affiliate  transactions.  The Order also  immediately  prohibits
certain actions such as purchasing  factored  accounts  receivable  until proper
procedures and policies are in place, extending additional credit to substandard
borrowers,  and paying cash dividends.  The Order further prohibits WebBank from
issuing brokered certificates of deposit in an aggregate amount greater than the
amount outstanding on the effective date of the Order, which is $7,465,000.  The
effective  date of the Order is  February  10,  2005,  and the due dates for the
requirements  range  from 10 days to 360 days from the  effective  date with the
majority  to be  achieved  within 120 days of the Order.  As of April 15,  2005,
WebBank had complied  with several of the  requirements  and  management  of the
Company and WebBank  believe that WebBank is taking all necessary steps to fully
and timely  comply  with the other  requirements  of the Order.  However,  it is
possible  that  unforeseen  circumstances  could delay  compliance  with certain
requirements  or  submissions  to the FDIC  beyond due dates or cause  WebBank's
submissions to be unacceptable  to the  regulators.  The provisions of the Order
will be in effect and  enforceable  until such  provisions  have been  modified,
terminated,  suspended, or set aside by the FDIC and the Department of Financial
Institutions for the State of Utah. If WebBank does not comply with the terms of
the Order,  WebBank and/or its Board of Directors could be subject to regulatory
fines,  additional  regulatory  restrictions  and the Company could be forced to
sell or close WebBank.

OUR  BUSINESS  COULD BE HARMED IF NEW LINES OF BUSINESS ARE NOT  IMPLEMENTED  TO
REPLACE THE FORMER ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FACTORING BUSINESS LINE.

            As  discussed in the section  entitled  "Description  of  Business",
WebBank sold its remaining accounts  receivable  factoring portfolio on December
30,  2004  and   terminated   its  remaining   accounts   receivable   factoring
arrangements.  Prior to that date,  accounts  receivable  factoring  constituted
WebBank's principal line of business. WebBank was engaged in accounts receivable
factoring  utilizing  two  sourcing  and  servicing  companies.  One of the  two
accounts receivable  factoring programs was terminated in February 2004, and the
other was  terminated on December 30, 2004.  The accounts  receivable  factoring
arrangement that was terminated in December 2004 accounted for approximately 64%
and 47% of our  consolidated  revenues for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003,  respectively.  The  Company  believes  that  the  sale  of  the  accounts
receivable   factoring  portfolio  and  the  termination  of  the  two  accounts
receivable factoring  arrangements will have a significant adverse effect on its
net income during 2005.  Accounts  receivable  factoring is no longer  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.

RELIANCE ON BROKERED CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR
LIQUIDITY AND OPERATING RESULTS.

            Our funding depends  primarily on brokered  certificates of deposit.
Brokered  certificates  of deposit are time  deposits,  generally  in amounts of


                                       19




$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 our  dependence  on the market for  brokered
certificates  of deposit (97% of Webbank's total deposits at december 31, 2004),
our  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 such as U.S. Treasury  securities.  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.  Under
the Order, restrictions on the issuance of brokered certificates of deposit have
been placed on Webbank which prohibit Webbank from issuing brokered certificates
of deposit in an aggregate  amount  greater than the amount  outstanding  on the
effective date of the Order, which is $7,465,000.  The Order to Cease and Desist
discussed  in Note 2 of the  notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  may
restrict the amount of brokered  certificates of deposit that Webbank is allowed
to issue.

            Our  operating  results  may be  negatively  impacted by a change in
interest  rates  required  to  obtain  brokered   certificates  of  deposit.  An
explanation of how this could negatively impact "rate differentials" is provided
in the following  risk factor  entitled  "Changes in interest rates could have a
negative  effect on our  operating  results." In general,  increases in interest
rates on brokered  certificates  of deposit  will reduce our  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,  or a
deterioration of WebBank's financial condition.

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
then be  required  to  invest  funds  generated  by  those  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.

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.


                                       20



            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.

            All of these  entities are 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 MAY BE  SUBJECT  TO  CREDIT  AND  INTEREST  RATE  RISK IN EXCESS OF AN AMOUNT
RECOGNIZED ON OUR BALANCE SHEET.

            We  are   periodically  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 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, 2004 and 2003,
we had no undisbursed  commercial loan  commitments or consumer credit card loan
commitments. For the same periods, our undisbursed accounts receivable factoring
commitments totaled $0 and approximately $8,138,000, 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 stockholders 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.


                                       21



            In January 2000, Mr. 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.

WARREN G. LICHTENSTEIN,  OUR CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE  OFFICER,  THROUGH HIS
AFFILIATION  WITH STEEL PARTNERS II, L.P., HAS THE ABILITY TO EXERT  SIGNIFICANT
INFLUENCE  OVER OUR  OPERATIONS AND MAY HAVE INTERESTS THAT DIFFER FROM THOSE OF
OUR STOCKHOLDERS.

            Mr. Lichtenstein, as the sole managing member of the general partner
of Steel Partners II, L.P.  ("Steel"),  is deemed to also  beneficially  own the
shares  of our  common  stock  owned by  Steel.  As of  March  31,  2005,  Steel
beneficially owned 5,949,080 shares of our common stock which, together with the
shares owned directly by Mr. Lichtenstein,  represents  approximately 68% of our
outstanding  common stock.  Mr.  Lichtenstein,  as sole  managing  member of the
general partner of Steel, has sole investment and voting control over the shares
beneficially  owned by  Steel  and thus  has the  ability  to exert  significant
influence over our policies and affairs,  including the election of our Board of
Directors and the approval of any action  requiring a stockholder  vote, such as
amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation and approving mergers or sales of
substantially  all of our assets,  as well as matters where the interests of Mr.
Lichtenstein  and Steel may differ from the interests of our other  stockholders
in some respects.

          FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

          None.

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,  as amended (the  "Exchange
Act"), such as this Form 10-KSB, is reported in accordance with the rules of the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  ("SEC").  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.


                                       22




          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
Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e).  As a result of that  evaluation,  the Company
discovered  a material  weakness  in internal  controls  at WebBank.  A material
weakness  is a  significant  deficiency  that  results  in  more  than a  remote
likelihood  that a material  misstatement  of the  annual or  interim  financial
statements will not be prevented or detected.

          The material  weakness  discovered  involved a  segregation  of duties
regarding  WebBank's  general ledger and financial  applications data processing
system (the  "System").  Shortly  after the material  weakness  was  discovered,
WebBank  engaged an independent  public  accounting  firm,  other than WebBank's
principal  accountant,  to conduct  an  examination  of all  System  maintenance
activities  for each day of the year  2004 and for the  year-to-date  2005.  The
accountant's  report  indicated no  inappropriate  or  unauthorized  maintenance
activity  during  the  periods  reviewed.  Temporary  arrangements  were made to
segregate System  administrator from user duties and for periodic testing of the
System maintenance records until sufficient staffing is available on a permanent
basis.

            Based upon prior period  testing and corrective  actions taken,  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.  Other  than the issue
discussed  above,  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.

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

          The Board of  Directors  has a  separately-designated  standing  audit
committee,  established in accordance  with Section  3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange
Act, comprised of Howard Mileaf, Joseph L. Mullen and Mark E. Schwarz. The Board
has determined  that Howard Mileaf has the requisite  education,  background and
experience to be considered an audit committee  "financial  expert" as that term
is defined by the SEC and is  "independent" as the term is used in Item 7(d) (3)
(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

          Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors and
executive  officers,  and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of
the  Company's  equity  securities,  to file  with the SEC  initial  reports  of
ownership  and reports of changes in  ownership of Common Stock and other equity
securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater-than 10% stockholders
are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section
16(a)  forms  they  file.  Based  solely  upon a review of copies of such  forms
received by it, or written  representations  from certain reporting persons, the
Company believes that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, there was
compliance  with all Section 16(a) filing  requirements  applicable to officers,
directors, and greater-than 10% stockholders,  with the exception of Steel whose
acquisition  of  Common  Stock  following  exercise  of its  basic  subscription
privilege in connection  with the  Company's  subscription  rights  offering was
inadvertently  reported late on a Form 4 jointly filed by Steel, Steel Partners,
LLC and Warren G. Lichtenstein.

CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICS

          The Company  has adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics that  applies to
the Company's  principal  executive officer,  principal  financial officer,  and
other persons performing  similar  functions.  A copy of the Code of Conduct and
Ethics has been filed as an exhibit to the  Company's  Form  10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 2003.


                                       26



RECOMMENDATION OF DIRECTOR NOMINEES BY STOCKHOLDERS

          The Nominating and Governance Committee considers  recommendations for
director  nominees by stockholders that are properly received in accordance with
the Company's Guidelines For Nominating And Evaluating  Candidates For The Board
of Directors and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. There have been no
material changes to the Company's procedures by which stockholders may recommend
director  nominees since such  procedures  were last disclosed by the Company in
its  Schedule  14A in  connection  with the  Company's  2004  annual  meeting of
stockholders.

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 SPL),  SPL  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 SPL harmless from and against any obligation,  liability,  cost or
damage resulting from SPL's actions under the terms of the Management Agreement,
except to the extent  occasioned by gross  negligence  or willful  misconduct of
SPL's officers, directors or employees.

           Pursuant to an Employee Allocation  Agreement between WebBank and SPS
(and  subsequently  assigned to SPL) dated March 15, 2001 (the "First Allocation
Agreement"), James Henderson, an employee of SPL and an executive officer of the
Company, performed services in the area of management,  accounting and finances,
and  identified  business  opportunities,  and such  other  services  reasonably
requested by WebBank.  Effective October 1, 2004, WebBank and SPL entered into a
new Employee Allocation  Agreement (the "Second Allocation  Agreement") pursuant
to which Mr.  Henderson  continues to perform the same services for WebBank.  In
consideration  of the  services  performed  by Mr.  Henderson  under the  Second
Allocation  Agreement,  Mr.  Henderson's  salary and the cost of  certain  other
benefits are allocated  between  WebBank and SPL based on the percentage of time
devoted by Mr. Henderson to WebBank matters. Unless agreed to by both parties in
writing, the amount paid by WebBank to SPL under the Second Allocation Agreement
in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000.  The Second  Allocation  Agreement
will  continue in force until  terminated  by either of the parties upon 30 days
written notice.


                                       29



           Prior  to March  26,  2002,  the  original  counterparty  to both the
Management Agreement and the First Allocation Agreement was SPS. As of March 26,
2002,  the Management  Agreement and the First  Allocation  Agreement  described
above were assigned by SPS to SPL and the  employees of SPS became  employees of
SPL. Warren Lichtenstein, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is
an affiliate of SPL based on his ownership of SPL,  directly and through  Steel,
and by  virtue of his  positions  as  Chairman,  President  and Chief  Executive
Officer of SPL.  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 SPL 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,  SPL charges the Company a fixed  monthly fee  totaling  $310,000 per
annum,   adjustable   annually  upon  agreement  of  the  Company  and  SPL.  In
consideration  of the services  provided  under the First and Second  Allocation
Agreements,  SPL charged  WebBank  $100,000  per annum  during the  previous two
fiscal  years.  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 SPL  under  the
Management  Agreement and the First and Second Allocation  Agreements 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,  2004,  SPL billed the
Company fees with respect to fiscal 2004 of $310,000 for services rendered under
the  Management  Agreement.  Included in these fees was $100,000 paid by WebBank
for services rendered under the First and Second Allocation  Agreements.  During
the fiscal  year ended  December  31,  2003,  SPL billed the  Company  fees with
respect to fiscal 2003 of $310,000 for services  rendered  under the  Management
Agreement.  Included in these fees was  $100,000  paid by WebBank  for  services
rendered under the First Allocation  Agreement.  The fees payable by WebBank are
included in the fees payable by the Company under the Management Agreement.

           Pursuant  to  a  sourcing  and  servicing  agreement  (the  "Rockland
Agreement")  between  WebBank and  Rockland  Credit  Finance  LLC  ("Rockland"),
Rockland  performed  both sourcing and servicing  functions on behalf of WebBank
related to WebBank's accounts receivable factoring program.  John Fox, the owner
of Rockland,  is a former employee of WebBank.  Rockland  earned  $1,188,000 and
$1,019,000 in total  management  fees under the terms of the Rockland  Agreement
during 2004 and 2003,  respectively,  under the terms of the Rockland Agreement.
Management fees were paid quarterly and accrued  monthly by WebBank.  Notices of
termination  were  issued  with  respect  to the  Rockland  Agreement  and other
accounts receivable  factoring and service  arrangements.  On December 30, 2004,
Rockland  exercised  its option to purchase from WebBank a portfolio of accounts
receivable  (the  "Receivables")  in  connection  with  the  termination  of the
Rockland Agreement between WebBank and Rockland.  The Receivables were purchased
at  book  value  from  WebBank  pursuant  to that  certain  Asset  Purchase  and
Assignment  and  Assumption   Agreement  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of
$5,791,395.41, subject to certain specified adjustments.  Specifically, Rockland
purchased specified factoring accounts held by WebBank,  all of WebBank's right,
title and  interest  under  specified  factoring  agreements  and  participation
agreements and other agreements,  arrangements,  commitments and  understandings
related  thereto or to the  Receivables,  all of which were  acquired by WebBank
pursuant to the Rockland Agreement (the "Contracts").  Rockland also assumed and
agreed to pay and perform all  obligations  of WebBank  under the  Contracts and
otherwise in respect of the  purchased  assets  arising on and after the closing
date.

AUDIT FEES:

          The  aggregate  fees  billed for each of the last two fiscal  years of
2004 and 2003 for professional  services  rendered by Grant Thornton LLP for the
audit of the annual  financial  statements  of the  Company  and its  subsidiary
WebBank and the review of the  financial  statements  included in the  Company's
Forms 10-QSB for such fiscal  years were  approximately  $140,000 and  $118,000,
respectively.

AUDIT-RELATED FEES:

          The  aggregate  fees  billed for each of the last two fiscal  years of
2004 and 2003 for assurance and related services  rendered by Grant Thornton LLP
were approximately $52,000 and $22,000,  respectively,  related to the Company's
common stock subscription rights offering.

TAX FEES:

          The  aggregate  fees  billed for each of the last two fiscal  years of
2004 and 2003 for professional  services  rendered by Grant Thornton LLP for tax
compliance,  tax advice and tax  planning  for the  Company  and its  subsidiary
WebBank were approximately $8,000 and $9,000, respectively.

ALL OTHER FEES:

          No fees were billed for each of the last two fiscal  years of 2004 and
2003 for products and services of Grant  Thornton  LLP,  other than the services
reported above.

PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES:

          All audit and  non-audit  services to be  performed  by the  Company's
independent  auditors  must be  approved  in  advance  by the  Audit  Committee.
Consistent with applicable law,  limited amounts of services,  other than audit,
review or attest  services,  may be approved by one or more members of the Audit
Committee pursuant to authority delegated by the Audit Committee,  provided each
such  approved  service  is  reported  to the full Audit  Committee  at its next
meeting.

          All of the  engagements  and fees for the Company's  fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004 were approved by the Audit  Committee.  In connection with the
audit of the Company's  Financial  Statements for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2004, Grant Thornton LLP only used full-time, permanent employees.

          The Audit  Committee  has  considered  whether the  provision by Grant
Thornton  LLP of the  services  covered by the fees other than the audit fees is
compatible with maintaining  Grant Thornton's  independence and believes that it
is compatible.

            MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2004

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.  Please see Item 8A - "Controls and Procedures" of
this Form 10-KSB for a detailed discussion of accounting control issues.

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 five 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 REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors and
Shareholders of WebFinancial Corporation


We have audited the accompanying  consolidated statements of financial condition
of  WebFinancial  Corporation and  subsidiaries  (a Delaware  corporation) as of
December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of earnings,
stockholders'  equity,  and cash  flows for each of the two years in the  period
ended December 31, 2004. These financial  statements are the  responsibility  of
the Company's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance  with the standards of the Public  Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements  are free of material  misstatement.  The Company is not  required to
have,  nor were we  engaged to perform  an audit of its  internal  control  over
financial reporting.  Our audit included  consideration of internal control over
financial  reporting  as  a  basis  for  designing  audit  procedures  that  are
appropriate  in the  circumstances,  but not for the  purpose of  expressing  an
opinion on the  effectiveness  of the Company's  internal control over financial
reporting.  Accordingly,  we express  no such  opinion.  An audit also  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the  financial   statements,   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  financial  position  of  WebFinancial
Corporation  and  subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results
of their  operations  and their  cash flows for the each of the two years in the
period  ended  December 31,  2004,  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

As shown in Note 2 to the financial statements,  Web Bank is subject to a formal
regulatory  order,  jointly  issued by the FDIC and the  Department of Financial
Institutions  for the  State  of  Utah,  affecting  the  Bank's  operations  and
requiring  certain  actions.  The  Bank  currently  does  not  meet  all  of the
requirements  of the  regulatory  order,  which  subjects  the  Bank to  certain
mandatory  and  discretionary  actions  by the  regulators.  These  actions  and
management's  plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The
consolidated  financial  statements  do not include any  adjustments  that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

motion picture. Both Film and Praxis are inactive. All significant  intercompany
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

            BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION  AND USE OF  ESTIMATES--The  preparation  of
consolidated  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.
At December 31, 2004 and 2003, $500 of interest-bearing deposits at WebBank were
pledged to a  correspondent  bank to cover ACH risk.  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. A loss per share is considered  antidilutive for purposes of computing
diluted  income per common  share.  If the number of common  shares  outstanding
increases  as a result of a stock  dividend  or stock  split or  decreases  as a
result of a reverse stock split,  the  computations  of basic and diluted income
per common share are adjusted retroactively for all periods presented to reflect
that change in capital structure (see Note 10).

            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


                                      F-11



                    WEBFINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


nonaccrual  or  charged-off  at an earlier  date if  collection  of principal or
interest is considered doubtful.

            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.

            On December 30, 2004, WebBank sold its entire portfolio of purchased
receivables,   and  various  agreements  regarding  purchased  receivables  were
terminated.  Prior to that date,  WebBank  purchased  receivable  balances  from
customers at a discounted  rate. The  receivables to be purchased from any given
customer were determined  using WebBank's credit granting  policies.  Receivable
purchases had full recourse to the customer and were accounted for as a purchase
under the guidelines of SFAS 140. Purchased  receivables that management had the
intent  and  ability to hold for the  foreseeable  future or until  maturity  or
payoff were 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.

            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  $14,849 and $28,194 at
December  31, 2004 and 2003,  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.

                                      F-12


                    WEBFINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


            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.

            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  existed
at December 31, 2003 . However,  the  determination  was made that  goodwill was
impaired at December 31, 2004 (see Note 21).

            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 SFAS 148,  "Accounting for  Stock-Based  Compensation - Transition
and  Disclosure - An Amendment  of FASB  Statement  No. 123" for the years ended
2004 and 2003.  Issued in December 2002, SFAS 148 amended SFAS 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 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.)

of the grant using the Black-Scholes  option pricing model with weighted average
assumptions for the year ended December 31 which would have included a risk-free
interest rate, expected dividend yield, expected lives, and expected volatility.

            NEW ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENTS  - 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.

2.          REGULATORY MATTERS

            On January 31,  2005,  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation
("FDIC")  and the  Department  of Financial  Institutions  for the State of Utah
issued to WebBank an Order to Cease and Desist (the "Order") in connection  with
alleged  violations of certain  banking  regulations.  WebBank  consented to the
issuance of the Order  without  admitting or denying the alleged  violations  of
those banking regulations.

            The Order requires  WebBank to comply with a number of  requirements
which  include,  but are not limited  to,  increasing  the number of  directors,
increasing  board  involvement,   hiring  new  executive  officers,  creating  a
three-year  strategic plan, charging off or collecting certain classified loans,
revising and adopting  various  policies,  developing and adopting a budget plan
and a capital  plan that is designed  to  maintain an adequate  level of capital
protection  for  the  kind of and  quality  of  assets  held  by the  bank,  and
establishing and implementing procedures for affiliate  transactions.  The Order
also immediately  prohibits certain actions such as purchasing factored accounts
receivable  until  proper  procedures  and  policies  are  in  place,  extending
additional credit to substandard borrowers, and paying cash dividends. The Order
further  prohibits  WebBank from issuing brokered  certificates of deposit in an
aggregate  amount  greater than the amount  outstanding on the effective date of
the Order, which is $7,465,000.  The effective date of the Order is February 10,
2005, and the due dates for the requirements range from 10 days to 360 days from
the  effective  date with the  majority  to be  achieved  within 120 days of the
Order.  However,  as a result of the examination and the Order,  WebBank charged
off 50% of all loans classified as Doubtful.  The chargeoff of $454 is reflected
as of December 31, 2004 in the accompanying financial statements.

            It is possible that unforeseen  circumstances could delay compliance
with certain  requirements  or submissions to the FDIC beyond due dates or cause

the Order will be in effect and  enforceable  until  such  provisions  have been

            Loans to twelve customers comprise approximately 99 percent of total
loans at December  31, 2004.  At December  31, 2004,  $1,500 of the loans in the
portfolio  had a fixed  interest rate ($268 at December 31, 2003) and $44 of the
Company's  loans were unsecured  ($89 at December 31, 2003).  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 $600 and  $1,251 of loans on which the  accrual of
interest  has been  discontinued  or  reduced  at  December  31,  2004 and 2003,
respectively.  If income on those loans had been accrued, such income would have
approximated $107 and $111 for 2004 and 2003, respectively.

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

5.          ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

            The allowance for credit losses is summarized as follows:

                                                         =======================

            The Company  considers the  allowance for credit losses  adequate to
cover  losses  inherent  in loans and loan  commitments  at December  31,  2004.
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.

6.          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 Steel Partners Services, Ltd., ("SPS") (and subsequently assigned to
Steel Partners,  Ltd., ("SPL")),  SPL 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 SPL harmless from
and against  any  obligation,  liability,  cost or damage  resulting  from SPL's
actions  under  the terms of the  Management  Agreement,  except  to the  extent
occasioned  by  gross  negligence  or  willful  misconduct  of  SPL's  officers,
directors or employees.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


            Pursuant to an Employee Allocation Agreement between WebBank and SPS
(and  subsequently  assigned to SPL) dated March 15, 2001 (the "First Allocation
Agreement"), James Henderson, an employee of SPL and an executive officer of the
Company, performed services in the area of management,  accounting and finances,
and  identified  business  opportunities,  and such  other  services  reasonably
requested by WebBank.  Effective October 1, 2004, WebBank and SPL entered into a
new Employee Allocation  Agreement (the "Second Allocation  Agreement") pursuant
to which Mr.  Henderson  continues to perform the same services for WebBank.  In
consideration  of the  services  performed  by Mr.  Henderson  under the  Second
Allocation  Agreement,  Mr.  Henderson's  salary and the cost of  certain  other
benefits are allocated  between  WebBank and SPL based on the percentage of time
devoted by Mr. Henderson to WebBank matters. Unless agreed to by both parties in
writing, the amount paid by WebBank to SPL under the Second Allocation Agreement
in any calendar year may not exceed $100 The Second  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 First Allocation Agreement was SPS. As of March 26,
2002,  the Management  Agreement and the First  Allocation  Agreement  described
above were assigned by SPS to SPL and the  employees of SPS became  employees of
SPL. Warren Lichtenstein, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is
an affiliate of SPL based on his ownership of SPL,  directly and through  Steel,
and by  virtue of his  positions  as  Chairman,  President  and Chief  Executive
Officer of SPL.  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 SPL 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,  SPL charges the Company a fixed monthly fee totaling $310 per annum,
adjustable  annually upon agreement of the Company and SPL. In  consideration of
the services  provided  under the First and Second  Allocation  Agreements,  SPL
charged  WebBank $100 per annum during the previous two fiscal  years.  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 SPL under the Management  Agreement and the
First and Second  Allocation  Agreements 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,  2004,  SPL billed the
Company fees with respect to fiscal 2004 of $310 for services rendered under the
Management  Agreement.  Included  in these  fees was $100  paid by  WebBank  for
services rendered under the First and Second Allocation  Agreements.  During the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, SPL billed the Company fees with respect to
fiscal  2003 of $310 for  services  rendered  under  the  Management  Agreement.
Included in these fees was $100 paid by WebBank for services  rendered under the
First Allocation Agreement. The fees payable by WebBank are included in the fees
payable by the Company under the Management Agreement.

            Pursuant  to a  sourcing  and  servicing  agreement  (the  "Rockland
Agreement")  between  WebBank and  Rockland  Credit  Finance  LLC  ("Rockland"),
Rockland  performed  both sourcing and servicing  functions on behalf of WebBank
related to WebBank's accounts receivable factoring program.  John Fox, the owner
of Rockland, is a former employee of WebBank.  Rockland earned $1,188 and $1,019
in total  management fees under the terms of the Rockland  Agreement during 2004
and 2003,  respectively,  under the terms of the Rockland Agreement.  Management
fees were paid quarterly and accrued monthly by WebBank.  Notices of termination
were issued with respect to the Rockland Agreement and other accounts receivable
factoring and service arrangements. On December 30, 2004, Rockland exercised its
option to  purchase  from  WebBank  a  portfolio  of  accounts  receivable  (the
"Receivables")  from WebBank in connection  with the termination of the Rockland
Agreement  between WebBank and Rockland.  The Receivables were purchased at book
value from WebBank  pursuant to that certain Asset  Purchase and  Assignment and
Assumption  Agreement  for an  aggregate  purchase  price of $5,791,  subject to
certain  specified  adjustments.   Specifically,  Rockland  purchased  specified
factoring  accounts held by WebBank,  all of WebBank's right, title and interest
under  specified  factoring  agreements and  participation  agreements and other
agreements,  arrangements,  commitments and understandings related thereto or to
the Receivables,  all of which were acquired by WebBank pursuant to the Rockland
Agreement (the "Contracts"). Rockland also assumed and agreed to pay and perform
all  obligations  of WebBank under the Contracts and otherwise in respect of the
purchased assets arising on and after the closing date.

8.          SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

            In April  2002,  WebBank  obtained a secured  federal  funds line of
credit (the "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.  In March 2003, the secured
line of credit was replaced by an  unsecured  line of credit for the same amount
with the same bank. In May 2004,  the unsecured  line of credit was increased to
$1,000.  The line of credit was  utilized a total of 12 days  during  2004.  The
maximum  utilization  on any day was $310, and the maximum number of consecutive
days  the line of  credit  was  utilized  was 4 days.  Neither  the  secured  or
unsecured lines of credit were used in 2003.

11.         STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

            The Board of Directors  of the Company,  at its meeting on September
2, 1998,  approved the merger of all previous stock incentive plans into the new
stock option plan (the Merged  Plan).  At the annual  meeting  held  November 4,
1998, the shareholders  approved the merger and certain amendments to the Merged
Plan.  Approved  were the grants of  certain  stock-based  incentives  and other
equity  interests  to  employees,  directors,  and  consultants.  A  maximum  of
1,000,000  shares may be issued  under the Merged  Plan.  The options are vested
according to varied  schedules,  exercisable when vested,  and expire five years
from the date of  issuance.  At December 31,  2004,  there were 902,774  options
remaining in the Merged Plan available for granting.


The following table summarizes stock option activity:

            The net change in the total  valuation  allowance for the year ended
December 31, 2004 was an increase of $142.

            At December  31,  2004,  the Company  had net  operating  loss carry
forwards of approximately $38,807 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 $19,807  incurred  subsequent to April 28, 1995 available as
carryovers.  All net operating  losses may be subject to certain  limitations on
utilization.

14.         DISCLOSURES ABOUT THE FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

                                      F-21



                    WEBFINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


            The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
value of each class of  financial  instruments  for which it is  practicable  to
estimate that value:

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

            For those cash  equivalents,  the  carrying  amount is a  reasonable
estimate of fair value.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

            For marketable equity securities held for investment purposes,  fair
values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.  For other securities
held as investments,  fair value equals quoted market price, if available.  If a
quoted  market  price is not  available,  fair value is  estimated  using quoted
market prices for similar securities. Securities shown as other assets (see Note
16) are not included in this analysis because of the absence of active markets.

LOANS AND PURCHASED RECEIVABLES

            The fair value of loans and  purchased  receivables  is estimated by
discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans
would  be made  to  borrowers  with  similar  credit  ratings  and for the  same
remaining maturities.

DEPOSITS

            The fair  value of  demand,  NOW,  and MMMA  deposits  is the amount
payable  on demand  at the  reporting  date.  The fair  value of  fixed-maturity
certificates  of deposit is  estimated  using the rates  currently  offered  for
deposits of similar remaining maturities.


The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

                                                  2004                           2003

LEASES

            The Company  leased  office  space in one  building in 2004 and 2003
under  operating lease  agreements.  Rental expense for the years ended December
31,  2004 and 2003  were  $109 and  $107,  respectively.  Future  minimum  lease

                                                          ========

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 uses
the same credit policy in making  commitments and conditional  obligations as it
does for on-balance sheet instruments.

            At December 31, 2004 and 2003, 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 $0 and $8,138, 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  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.


                                      F-23


                    WEBFINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


            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.

16.         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).

            The Order,  as described in Note 2, requires  WebBank to develop and
adopt  a plan  to  meet  and  thereafter  maintain  minimum  risk-based  capital
requirements as described in FDIC Rules and Regulations. However, the Order does
not  prescribe a specific  minimum level of capital that the Bank needs to meet.
As stated above,  minimum  requirements are subject to qualitative  judgments by
the  regulators  and can be applied  on a bank by bank  basis.  While  under the
Order,  the Bank is not  considered  well  capitalized  under Prompt  Corrective
Action Guidelines.

            Capital  amounts and ratios of WebBank as of the dates indicated are
summarized  as follows,  along with  standard  regulatory  guidelines  for banks
having the same risk weighted and average asset levels as WebBank on those dates
(dollars in thousands):

17.         OTHER ASSETS

            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, 2004 and 2003,  net  servicing  assets,  which are
included in other assets, were $13 and $31,  respectively.  Servicing assets are
periodically  evaluated for impairment  based on the fair value of those assets.

                    WEBFINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


During 2004 and 2003, the Company recorded no additional  servicing assets,  and
recorded $18 and $45 of amortization, respectively.

            The Company owned two  investments  as of December 31, 2004 and 2003
that are not  subject to SFAS No. 115.  One of these,  an  investment  in equity
securities, was outstanding in the amount of $100 at December 31, 2004 and 2003.
Normally,  this  investment  would  have been  classified  as  held-to-maturity.
However,  because the equity  securities  have no maturity,  the  investment was
classified as an other asset. The other, an equity security,  was outstanding in
the amount of $1,000 as of December 31, 2004.  Normally this  security  would be
classified  as  available-for-sale.  However,  because  the  stock  is  not  yet
registered and is restricted  under Rule 144 of the  Securities  Exchange Act of
1934, as amended,  the  investment has been  classified as an other asset.  Both
securities are recorded at cost.

19.         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.  Until the  purchased
receivables  portfolio was sold on December 30, 2004, the Company recognized two
operating  segments.  The first was the accounts  receivable  factoring  program
operated by WebBank.  The second  operating  segment,  termed "other," and which
continues to exist subsequent to December 30, 2004, 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, 2004 and 2003,
factoring  income  earned  by  entities  other  than  WebBank  was $6 and  $216,
respectively.

            The following is a summary of selected operating segment information
for the years ended  December  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.

21.         SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

            On January 21, 2005,  the third party  sourcing  company  engaged to
source and service  private  label credit cards on behalf of WebBank  terminated
the Loan Sale Agreement and Loan Program Agreement between the two parties.  The
pretax  income  generated by the  terminated  private  label credit card program
generated revenue of $175 and $173 for the years 2004 and 2003, respectively.

            At the 2004 annual meeting of stockholders on December 15, 2004, the
Company's  stockholders  approved a reverse split of the Company's  common stock
and a  reduction  of the  Company's  authorized  number of shares of common  and

preferred stock. At that time, neither the final amounts nor the effective dates
were determined for the approved actions.  On March 9, 2005, the Company's Board
of Directors  approved a  one-for-four  reverse stock split,  a reduction of the
Company's  authorized  number  of  shares of common  stock  from  50,000,000  to
5,000,000 shares,  and a reduction of the Company's  authorized number of shares
of preferred stock from 10,000,000 to 500,000 shares.  The reverse split will be
effective on April 5, 2005 as to  shareholders  of record on April 4, 2005.  The
reductions of authorized  number of shares of common and preferred stock will be
effective on April 5, 2005. After giving effect to the reverse split, there will
be approximately 2,183,433 common shares issued and outstanding. See Note 10 for
the effect of the reverse split on income (loss) per share.

22.         GOODWILL

            WebBank  was  purchased  by Rose's  International  Inc.  from  Block
Financial  Corporation  on August 31, 1998. The  acquisition  was made using the
purchase method of accounting which reflects an allocation of the purchase price
to the assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  (net  assets).  Because  the
purchase price at the time was more than the value of the net assets  purchased,
goodwill was recorded to reflect the excess.

            The accounting for goodwill at the time of the WebBank  purchase was
governed by APB 17, which became effective in 1970. APB 17 assumed that goodwill
was a wasting asset with a finite life and should be amortized over a period not
to exceed 40 years.  APB 17 was  superseded  by SFAS 142,  which was  adopted by
WebBank on January 1, 2002.

            SFAS 142 presumed  that  goodwill is not a wasting  asset and has an
indefinite life. Therefore, the requirement to amortize goodwill was eliminated.
However,  amortization  was  replaced by the  requirement  to test  annually for
impairment  of the  goodwill  asset.  If for some  reason  the book value of the
goodwill could not be supported,  the impairment  would be recognized by writing
the goodwill down to its fair value.

            WebBank determined that goodwill was not impaired as of December 31,
2002 and 2003 in  accordance  with SFAS 142. At December 31, 2004, a third party
valuation test was performed, also in accordance with SFAS 142. The absence of a
market proxy for the value of WebBank resulted in reliance on an income approach
for the  valuation.  However,  the  sale of the  accounts  receivable  factoring
portfolio  combined with WebBank's Order to Cease and Desist (see Note 20 of the
Notes to Consolidated  Financial  Statements) caused  uncertainty  regarding the
timing and nature of replacing  that product  line.  Therefore,  projections  of
future cash flows could not  support  the value of  goodwill  and the  remaining
$1,380,000 of goodwill was written off as of December 31, 2004.
