NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial statements of Winfield Capital Corp. (the "Company")
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
information and disclosures necessary for a presentation of the Company's
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary
for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for such periods. The results of operations for
any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the
full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003.

Note 3 - Income Taxes
In accordance with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, no provision
for income taxes is necessary with respect to net investment income and/or
net realized short-term capital gains since the Company has elected to
distribute not less than 90% of such income and/or gains to shareholders.
However, to the extent the Company elects to either retain net realized
long-term capital gains or net realized short-term capital gains, the
Company will pay all applicable Federal income taxes on behalf of its
shareholders.

WINFIELD CAPITAL CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note - 4 Commitments and Contingencies
On April 30, 2003, the SBA notified the Company that it is no longer in
compliance with the SBA's capital impairment rules, as defined by
regulation 107.1830 of the SBA Regulations. Based on this non-compliance,
the SBA has accelerated the maturity date of the Company's debentures to a
single demand note including accrued interest. Interest payments are no
longer due on a semi-annual basis, but interest continues to accrue. In
addition, the SBA has transferred the Company to the SBA's Office of
Liquidation where any new investments and material expenses are subject to
prior SBA approval. The SBA has the right to institute proceedings for the
appointment of the SBA or its designee as receiver.
These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Management has submitted a plan to the SBA
providing for the liquidation of the Company over a three-year period;
however, to date, the SBA has not indicated whether it will approve the
proposed plan. In addition, the Company continues to pursue alternatives
to cure its impairment under the SBA regulations such as raising
additional financing. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability of the carrying amount of the
recorded assets or the amount of liabilities that might result from the
outcome of these uncertainties. The Company cannot be certain that
additional equity financing will be available when required or, if
available, that it can secure it on terms satisfactory to the Company. As
such, no assurance can be made that the Company will be successful in its
ability to consummate or implement these or any other strategic
alternatives.
Note - 5 The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
On April 11, 2003, the Company received notice from the Nasdaq Stock
Market, Inc. that effective April 15, 2003 the Company's securities were
delisted from the Nasdaq Smallcap Market. The Company's securities are
quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board effective April 15, 2003 with the
assigned symbol "WCAP".

WINFIELD CAPITAL CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note - 6 Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plan
At December 31, 2003, the Company had one stock-based employee
compensation plan. The Company accounts for the plan under the recognition
and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee
compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under
those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the
underlying common stock on the date of the grant. For the nine months and
three months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, there would be no effect on
net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair
value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation, as no
options were granted nor vested during those periods.
On April 22, 2003, the FASB determined that stock-based compensation
should be recognized as a cost in the financial statements and that such
cost be measured according to the fair value of the stock options. The
FASB has not as yet determined the methodology for calculating fair value
and plans to issue an exposure draft letter this year that could become
effective in 2004. The Company will continue to monitor communications on
this subject from the FASB in order to determine the impact on the
Company's financial statements.
Note - 7 Subsequent Events
In January 2004, the Company sold its entire equity position in
Hewlett-Packard Company and a portion of its equity position in Open
Solutions Inc. Those sales resulted in total proceeds of approximately
$1,800,000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Nine Months Ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002
Investment Income
Investment income increased by $725,210 to $1,129,190 for the nine month period
ended December 31, 2003 from $403,980 for the same period ended December 31,
2002. This primarily reflected an increase in interest from small business
concerns of $936,484 as a result of the Company's increased investments in
loans. Interest from idle funds decreased $211,072 during this period as a
result of a decrease in interest rates and a decrease in idle funds that were
invested and other income decreased $202.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by $79,410 to $1,305,449 for the nine months ended
December 31, 2003 from $1,384,859 for the same period ended December 31, 2002.
This decrease resulted from repayments of debentures to the U.S. Small Business
Administration.
Operating Expenses
The Company's operating expenses decreased from $1,255,318 for the nine months
ended December 31, 2002 to $913,229 for the nine months ended December 31, 2003.
Payroll and payroll-related expenses decreased by $191,430 due to the
resignation of an executive officer effective December 31, 2002, professional
fees decreased by $13,889, amortization of debenture costs decreased by $58,660
and shareholder relations and other financial expenses decreased by $35,106.
There were miscellaneous net decreases of $43,004.
Realized Gain on Disposition of Investments
The Company realized a $107,934 gain on the sales of its entire positions in
five portfolio companies through the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Through the
third quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company realized a $198,062 gain on the sales
of its entire equity positions in two portfolio companies and a portion of its
position in another portfolio company.

WINFIELD CAPITAL CORP.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Changes in Unrealized Depreciation of Investments
There was a decrease in unrealized depreciation of investments of $2,180,230 (or
$2,194,214 excluding short-term marketable securities) for the nine months ended
December 31, 2003, compared to an increase in unrealized depreciation of
$2,460,102 (or $2,455,603 excluding short-term marketable securities) for the
nine months ended December 31, 2002, principally related to the increase in
market price of one publicly traded portfolio security, partially offset by the
decrease in fair value of one portfolio security in the third quarter of fiscal
2004 and the decline in market price of one publicly traded portfolio security
in the third quarter of fiscal 2003.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002
Investment Income
Investment income increased by $265,337 to $377,439 for the three month period
ended December 31, 2003 from $112,102 for the same period ended December 31,
2002. This primarily reflected an increase in interest from small business
concerns of $267,473 as a result of the Company's increased investments in
loans. Interest from idle funds decreased $2,136 during this period as a result
of a decrease in interest rates and a decrease in idle funds that were invested.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by $55,650 to $384,360 for the three months ended
December 31, 2003 from $440,010 for the same period ended December 31, 2002.
This decrease resulted from repayment of debentures to the U.S. Small Business
Administration.
Operating Expenses
The Company's operating expenses decreased from $450,897 for the three months
ended December 31, 2002 to $261,353 for the three months ended December 31,
2003. Payroll and payroll-related expenses decreased by $55,983 due to the
resignation of an executive officer effective December 31, 2002, professional
fees decreased by $47,707, amortization of debenture costs decreased by $19,553
and shareholder relations costs decreased by $25,329. There were miscellaneous
net decreases of $40,972.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Realized Gain on Disposition of Investments
The Company realized a $143,811 gain on the sale of its entire position in a
portfolio company in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. In the third quarter of
fiscal 2003, the Company had a $243,574 gain on disposition of one of its
portfolio investments and a portion of its position in another portfolio
company.
Changes in Unrealized Depreciation of Investments
There was a decrease in unrealized depreciation of investments of $870,194 (or
$876,799 excluding short-term marketable securities) for the three months ended
December 31, 2003, compared to an increase in unrealized depreciation of
$593,046 (or $654,409 excluding short-term marketable securities) for the three
months ended December 31, 2002, principally related to the increase in market
price of four publicly traded securities, partially offset by the decreases in
fair value of one portfolio security and two publicly traded securities in the
third quarter of fiscal 2004 and the decrease in the fair value of one portfolio
security in the third quarter of fiscal 2003.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2003, the Company held cash and short-term marketable securities
totaling $3,219,565.

WINFIELD CAPITAL CORP.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
According to the SBA Regulations, the Company is required to be in compliance
with the capital impairment rules, as defined by regulation 107.1830 of the SBA
Regulations. The Company has been notified by the SBA that the Company is no
longer in compliance with the SBA's capital impairment requirements and that the
SBA has accelerated the maturity date of Winfield Capital's debentures. The
aggregate principal, interest and fees due under the debentures totaled
approximately $20.8 million as of December 31, 2003, including interest and fees
due through the next semi-annual payment date. The Company repaid $3,300,000 of
the amounts due under the debentures in August 2003 and another $1,813,340 in
the quarter ending December 31, 2003. The SBA has transferred Winfield Capital's
account to liquidation status where any new investments and material expenses
are subject to prior SBA approval. Although it has not done so as of the date of
this filing, and may not do so, the SBA has the right to institute proceedings
for the appointment of the SBA or its designee as receiver. If the SBA were to
require the Company to immediately pay back the entire indebtedness including
accrued interest, certain private security investments may need to be disposed
of in a forced sale which may result in proceeds less than their carrying value
at December 31, 2003. As such, this impairment could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows
which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Management has submitted a plan to the SBA providing for the
liquidation of the Company over a three-year period; however, to date, the SBA
has not indicated whether it will approve the proposed plan. The Company
continues to explore various strategic alternatives, including a third party
equity infusion, although there can be no assurance that it will be successful
in its ability to consummate or implement these or any other strategic
alternatives.

forward-looking statements. For this purpose, any statements contained in this

Without limiting the foregoing, words such as "may," "will," "could," "would,"

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS &
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Reporting on Disposition of Investments
From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, the Company may liquidate
all or a portion of its portfolio investments. In this regard, the Company may
sell a portion of a single investment or sell portions of various investments it
has made. The Company's policy is to publicly report the results of such
transactions in its Form 10-K and Form 10-Q Reports filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act and as otherwise
required by applicable regulations and laws.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company's earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes
in interest rates primarily from its investment of available cash balances in
bank money market funds with portfolios of investment grade corporate and U.S.
government securities, in individual bank certificates of deposit and U.S.
treasuries. Under its current policies, the Company does not use interest rate
derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes.
A portion of the Company's investment portfolio consists of fixed-rate debt
securities. Since these debt securities usually have relatively high fixed rates
of interest, minor changes in market yields of publicly-traded debt securities
have little or no effect on the values of debt securities in the Company's
portfolio and no effect on interest income. On the other hand, significant
changes in the market yields of publicly-traded debt securities may have a
material effect on the values of debt securities in the Company's portfolio. The
Company's investments in debt securities are generally held to maturity and
their fair values are determined on the basis of the terms of the debt security
and the financial condition of the issuer. As of December 31, 2003, the Company

WINFIELD CAPITAL CORP.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
CONTINUED & CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
A portion of the Company's investment portfolio consists of debt and equity
securities of private companies. The Company anticipates little or no effect on
the value of these investments from modest changes in public market equity
valuations. Should significant changes in market valuations of comparable
publicly-owned companies occur, there may be a corresponding effect on
valuations of private companies, which would affect the value and the amount and
timing of proceeds eventually realized from these investments. A portion of the
Company's investment portfolio also consists of restricted common stocks and
warrants to purchase common stocks of publicly-owned companies. The fair values
of these restricted securities are influenced by the nature of applicable resale
restrictions, the underlying earnings and financial condition of the issuer, and
the market valuations of comparable publicly-owned companies. A portion of the
Company's investment portfolio also consists of unrestricted, freely marketable
common stocks of publicly-owned companies. These freely traded marketable
investments are directly exposed to equity price fluctuations, in that a change
in an issuer's public market equity price would result in an identical change in
the fair value of the Company's investment in such security. The Company may
utilize put and call option contracts to attempt to minimize the market risk of
its investments in publicly-owned companies. As of December 31, 2003, the
Company had no option contracts outstanding as part of its portfolio.
