Condition  at  December  31,  2001  was  extracted  from the  Company's  audited
consolidated  financial  statements  contained  in the 2001 10-K,  and  does not
include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for
annual consolidated financial statements.

            In the opinion of  management,  all  adjustments  are  comprised  of
normal  recurring  accruals  necessary for the fair  presentation of the interim
financial statements.  Operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ending December 31, 2002.

2.          ORGANIZATION AND RELATIONSHIPS

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

3.          GOODWILL

            In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
FAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible  Assets".  FAS 142 revises the method of
accounting  for goodwill and other  intangible  assets.  FAS 142  eliminates the
amortization of goodwill,  but requires  goodwill to be tested for impairment at
least  annually at a  reporting  unit level.  FAS 142 became  effective  for the
Company on January 1, 2002.  The  Company  has  completed  the first step of the
transitional  goodwill impairment test as required by FAS 142. This initial test
indicated that there was no impairment of goodwill.

            The  following  tables  reconcile the Company's net earnings for the
three  months and six months  ended June 30,  2002 and 2001  adjusted to exclude
goodwill amortization pursuant to SFAS 142 to amounts previously reported:

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
            Results of Operations

            The  following  discussion  should be read in  conjunction  with the
consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto presented
elsewhere herein.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 30, 2002 Compared to December 31, 2001

            Total  assets  increased by  $5,455,000  during the six months ended
June 30, 2002. Almost all of the Company's asset growth occurred at WebBank.  In
January 2002,  WebBank  began  factoring  commercial  accounts  receivable.  The
balance of factored accounts  receivable at June 30, 2002 was $2,890,000.  Other
changes in total assets  between  December  31, 2001 and June 30, 2002  involved
increases in WebBank's  commercial  loan portfolio of $672,000 and federal funds
sold of  $1,213,000.  The  increase  in the  Company's  total  assets was funded
primarily  with a  $4,970,000  increase in  certificates  of deposit at WebBank.
Other deposits at WebBank increased by $609,000.

CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001

            Net income for the  quarter  ended June 30,  2002 was $8,000 or $.00
per share  compared to a net loss of $(417,000) or $(.10) per share for the same
period  in 2001.  The  majority  of the  Company's  $425,000  or $.10 per  share
improvement between periods was attributable to WebBank.

            The  Company's net interest  income after  provision for loan losses
increased  by  $637,000  between  the two  periods  primarily  due to a $474,000
decrease  in the  provision  for loan losses at WebBank.  During  2001,  WebBank
discontinued its commercial lending program.  Subsequent loan paydowns,  payoffs
and upgrades at WebBank in the second  quarter of 2002 created  excess loan loss
reserves of $185,000.  This excess  reserve was recaptured and taken into income
during the quarter ended June 30, 2002.

            Noninterest income for the Company decreased by $151,000 between the
two  periods.  Fee  income  declined  by  $62,000  primarily  because  WebBank's
commercial loan origination,  payday lending and structured  settlement programs
were  discontinued in 2001. The unfavorable  impact of this loss of business was
partially  offset by new student loan and medical  treatment  lending  programs.
Miscellaneous  income declined by $89,000 in large part because of non-recurring
items in 2001 at WebBank including a program  termination fee and recovery of an
operational loss.

            The Company's  noninterest  expense increased by $56,000 between the
two  periods.  The  increase  was spread  relatively  evenly  over most  expense
categories.  Partially  offsetting the increases in other expense categories was
the discontinuance of goodwill  amortization at WebBank at the beginning of 2002
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142.

CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

            The net loss for the six months  ended June 30, 2002 was  $(268,000)
or $(.06) per share compared to a net loss of $(816,000) or $(.19) per share for
the same period in 2001.  The  Company's  improvement  from period to period was
$548,000 or $.13 per share, the majority of which occurred at WebBank.

            The  Company's net interest  income after  provision for loan losses
increased by $1,200,000  between the two periods  primarily due to a decrease in
the provision for loan losses of $1,006,000 at WebBank.  The  discontinuation of

                                       10





WebBank's  commercial  loan  program  during  2001  resulted in excess loan loss
reserve which was  recaptured  and taken into income during the first six months
of 2002.

            Noninterest income for the Company decreased by $541,000 between the
two  periods.  Discontinuance  of the  commercial  loan  origination  program at
WebBank in 2001 resulted in a decrease in gain on sale of loans of $219,000.  As
stated earlier,  fee income  declined by $116,000  primarily  because  WebBank's
commercial loan origination,  payday lending and structured  settlement programs
were  discontinued in 2001, which was partially offset by two new fee generating
programs.  Miscellaneous  income  declined by $206,000 in large part  because of
non-recurring  items in 2001 at WebBank including  start-up and termination fees
and recovery of an operational loss.

            The Company's  noninterest  expense increased by $93,000 between the
two  periods.  A large  part of the change  was due to a  $155,000  increase  in
professional and legal fees. At WebFinancial Corporation, professional and legal
fees increased by $91,000 from period to period,  most of which were incurred in
the first  quarter of 2002 to defend  against  legal action  brought by a former
employee.  WebBank's  professional and legal fees increased by $64,000 primarily
as a result of new program  development  costs and  aggressive  loan  collection
efforts in 2002. As explained previously, goodwill amortization was discontinued
at WebBank at the  beginning of 2002 in accordance  with  Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standard No. 142. In addition,  the  Company's  reduction in salary,
wages, and benefits expense of $33,000 was attributable to staff reductions made
by WebBank in October 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

            The Company's  liquidity  generally  comes from either cash and cash
equivalents  or borrowings  by WebBank.  At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001,
the Company's  cash and cash  equivalents  totaled  $5,266,000  and  $5,095,000,
respectively.  Funding for WebBank is obtained  primarily from  certificates  of
deposit  obtained through brokers and from a secured line of credit with a local
correspondent bank. Management believes that the Company's current cash and cash
equivalent  balances,  expected  operating  cash flows,  and  WebBank  borrowing
sources are adequate to meet its  liquidity  needs  through at least the next 12
months.

            The Company  continues to actively  seek  acquisition  transactions.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to acquire an additional
business,  or that such  business  will be  profitable.  In order to  finance an
acquisition,  the Company may be  required  to incur or assume  indebtedness  or
issue securities.  To date, the Company has no agreements or understandings with
respect to future acquisitions.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

            The following  important factors,  among others,  could cause actual
results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking  statements
made  in  this  Quarterly  Report  of  Form  10-Q  and  presented  elsewhere  by
management.  All forward-looking  statements included in this document are based
on  information  available  to the Company on the date  hereof,  and the Company
assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. A number of
uncertainties  exist that could affect the Company's future  operating  results,
including, without limitation,  general economic conditions, changes in interest
rates,  the Company's  ability to attract  deposits,  the  Company's  ability to
control costs, and the risk factors described in the 2001 10-K. Because of these
and other  factors,  past  financial  performance  should not be  considered  an
indication of future  performance.  The  Company's  future  quarterly  operating
results may vary  significantly.  Investors should not use historical  trends to
anticipate  future  results  and should be aware that the  trading  price of the
Company's  Common  Stock may be  subject to wide  fluctuations  in  response  to
quarterly  variations in operating  results and other factors,  including  those
discussed above.

                                       11





Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

            The Company  maintains  investment and commercial  loan  portfolios.
Both of these  activities  are subject to specific  policies that are focused on
preserving principal,  maintaining proper liquidity to meet operating needs, and
maximizing yields.

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

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

            Market  Risk.  The fair  value of the  Company's  loans and  deposit
accounts  at June 30,  2002  approximated  their  book  value.  Market  risk was
estimated as the potential decrease (increase) in future earnings and cash flows
resulting from a hypothetical 3% increase  (decrease) in the Company's estimated
weighted average lending rate at June 30, 2002.  Although a large portion of the
interest on the Company's loans are indexed to a market rate,  there would be no
material  effect on the future  earnings or cash flows  related to the Company's
total debt for such a hypothetical change.

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

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

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

            Non-banking  Activities.  The Company may expand its operations into
new  non-banking  activities  in 2002.  Although the Company has  experience  in
providing  bank-related  services,  this  expertise  may  not  assist  us in our
expansion into non-banking  activities.  As a result, we may be exposed to risks
associated with, among other things,  (1) a lack of market and product knowledge

                                       12





or awareness of other industry  related  matters and (2) an inability to attract
and retain qualified employees with experience in these non-banking activities.

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