             In general, the capcos issue debt and equity instruments, generally
warrants ("Certified Capital"), to insurance company investors ("Certified
Investors"). The capcos then make targeted investments ("Investments in
Qualified Businesses", as defined under the respective state statutes, or,
"Qualified Businesses"), with the Certified Capital raised. Such investments may
be accounted for as either consolidated subsidiaries, under the equity method or
cost method of accounting, or as notes receivable, depending upon the nature of
the investment and the Company's and/or the capco's ability to control or
otherwise exercise significant influence over the investee. Each capco has a
contractual arrangement with the particular state that legally entitles the
capco to receive (or earn) tax credits from the state upon satisfying
quantified, defined investment percentage thresholds and time requirements. In
order for the capcos to maintain their state-issued certifications, the capcos
must make Investments in Qualified Businesses in accordance with these
requirements. Each capco also has separate, legal contractual arrangements with
the Certified Investors obligating the capco to pay interest on the
aforementioned debt instruments whether or not it meets the statutory
requirements for Investments in Qualified Businesses. The capco can satisfy this
interest payment, at the capco's discretion, by delivering tax credits in lieu
of paying cash. The capcos legally have the right to deliver the tax credits to
the Certified Investors. The Certified Investors legally have the right to
receive and use the tax credits and would, in turn, use these tax credits to
reduce their respective state tax liabilities in an amount usually

equal to 100% (Louisiana - 110%) of their certified investment. The tax credits
can be utilized over a ten-year period at a rate of 10% (Louisiana - 11%) per
year and in some instances are transferable and can be carried forward.

          In the first quarter of 2002, the Company sold 433,333 shares of
common stock in private transactions, with gross and net cash proceeds totaling

NOTE 3  - INVESTMENTS IN QUALIFIED BUSINESSES:

in Qualified Businesses of $5,857,705.

          In accordance with the provisions of "Financial Accounting Standards
Board No. 115", the Company's debt investments are considered held to maturity
and recorded at cost. The Company periodically assesses these investments for
impairment.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS IN QUALIFIED BUSINESSES: (CONTINUED)

     In addition, the Company consolidates nine of its investments. The
Company's total investments made in these consolidated entities was $23,063,950,
as of June 30, 2002.

          The Company has not guaranteed any obligations of these investees, and
the Company is not otherwise committed to provide further financial support for
the investees. However, from time-to-time the Company may provide such
additional financial support which, as of June 30, 2002, was not significant.
Periodically, the Company evaluates each of its individual investments for
potential impairment in value. Should the Company determine that an impairment
exists and it is deemed to be other than temporary, the Company will write down
the recorded value of the asset to its estimated fair value and record a
corresponding charge in the statement of operations. During the six month period
ended June 30, 2002, the Company determined that there was $733,592 of other
than temporary decline in the value of its investments for Starphire
Technologies, LLC, $44,000 of other than temporary decline in the value of its
investments for Gino's Seafood, and a $76,718 other than temporary decline in
the value of its investments for Embosser's Sales and Service. In addition, the
Company determined an impairment existed for certain non-capco investments
(included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the balance sheet), and
recorded a charge of $162,000. In 2002, the Company also recovered $28,705 of
cash on two of its investments written down in 2000. These items aggregate
$987,605 which is shown on the statement of operations as other than temporary
decline in value of investments.

NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE:

     Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of common
stock equivalents is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share
only when the effect of their inclusion would be dilutive. The effect of common
stock equivalents were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30,
2002 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and, therefore, have been
excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for that period.

          The calculations of Net Income (Loss) Per Share were:

NOTE 5 - SUMMARY RESULTS OF QUALIFIED INVESTMENTS:

         Principles of Accounting for Ownership Interests in Qualified
         Investments

         The various interests that the Company acquires in its qualified
investments are accounted for under three methods: consolidation, equity method
and cost method. The applicable accounting method is generally determined based
on the Company's voting interest in a Partner Company.

         Investments in which the Company directly or indirectly owns more than
50% of the outstanding voting securities or those the Company has effective
control over are generally accounted for under the consolidation method of
accounting. Under this method, an investment's financial position and results of
operations are reflected within the Company's Balance Sheet and Consolidated
Statements of Operations. All significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations and cash flows of a
consolidated Partner Company are included through the latest interim period in
which the Company owned a greater than 50% direct or indirect voting interest
for the entire interim period or otherwise exercised control over the Partner
Company. Upon dilution of control below 50%, the accounting method is adjusted
to the equity or cost method of accounting, as appropriate, for subsequent
periods.

         Equity Method. Investees that are not consolidated, but over which the
Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity
method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence
with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors
including, among others, representation on the Company's Board of Directors and
ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting
securities of the Company, including voting rights associated with the Company's
holdings in common, preferred and other convertible instruments in the investee.
Under the equity method of accounting, an investee's accounts are not reflected
within the Company's Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statements of Operations;
however, the Company's share of the earnings or losses of the investee is
reflected in the caption "Equity income (loss)" in the Consolidated Statements
of Operations.

         Cost Method. Investees not accounted for under the consolidation or
the equity method of accounting are accounted for under the cost method of
accounting. Under this method, the Company's share of the earnings or losses of
such companies is not included in the Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statements
of Operations. However, cost method impairment charges are recognized, as
necessary, in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. If circumstances suggest
that the value of the investee has subsequently recovered, such recovery is not
recorded until realized.

         On a monthly basis, Newtek Capital Investment Committee meets to
evaluate the Company's investments. The Company considers several factors in
determining whether an impairment exists on the investment, such as the
investee's net book value, cash flow, revenue growth and net income. In
addition, the Investment Committee looks at larger variables, such as the
economy and the investee company's industry, to determine if an other than
temporary decline in value exists in the Company's investments.

         The following table is an unaudited summary of the investments which
the Company accounts for under either the equity method or by consolidation.
These financial statements also reflect the degree to which the Company's
partner companies interact with each other to provide and market needed goods
or, particularly, services to each other. Such activity has been quantified
within the accompanying summary within the caption "intercompany items included
in above".

NOTE 6 - ACQUISITION OF EXPONENTIAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, INC.:

     In January 2002, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock
of Exponential Business Development Company, Inc. (Exponential), of Syracuse,
NY. Exponential's primary business was to make non-controlling investments in
high growth potential companies. The purchase price consisted of 500,000 shares
of Company common stock issued to the sellers. Under the terms of the
acquisition, an additional 500,000 shares will be issued over a seven year
period if acquired assets result in gains of $2 million in excess of an initial
$1 million recovery by the Company. The fair value of the 500,000 common shares
issued, $920,000, was determined based on the quoted market price of the
Company's common stock on the closing date, less a discount due to certain
restrictions on the stock. Since Company management has determined that the
issuance of the additional 500,000 shares is currently unlikely due to
management's estimation that the payout provision will not be met, the Company
has not included the additional shares in the determination of the purchase
price. On a quarterly basis, management will assess the payout provision to
determine if it is likely it will be met in the future, and if so, the Company
will record the additional 500,000 shares as additional purchase price when
issued. Exponential directors and officers will remain with that entity and will
receive a total of 365,000 options pursuant to the Company's option plan to
acquire Company common stock in exchange for future services.

     The results of Exponential's operations have been included in the
consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date.

     The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

         Current assets (including cash of $106,642)       $      138,013
         Other Assets                                              10,001
                                                           --------------
         Total assets acquired                                    148,014
                                                           ==============

         Current liabilities                                       52,350
                                                           --------------
         Total liabilities assumed                                 52,350
                                                           ==============

         Net assets acquired                               $       95,664
                                                           ==============

     The difference between the fair value of the net assets acquired, $95,664,
and the value of the Company common stock, $920,000, has been recorded as
goodwill.

NOTE 7 - ACQUISITIONS OF CAPCO MINORITY INTERESTS:

     In March and May 2002, the Company issued 1,028,576 and 149,910 shares,
respectively, of its common stock to the minority members of certain Capcos in
exchange for substantially all of such members' minority interests. These have
been accounted for as purchase transactions. The fair value of the Company's
common stock was determined based upon the quoted market price of the Company's
common stock, less a discount due to certain restrictions on the stock. Such
value exceeded the book value of the minority interest by approximately $873,000
for five of the Capcos, and the Company has recorded such amount as goodwill.
For three other Capcos, the fair value of the Company's common stock was less
than the book value of the minority interest by approximately $428,000, and the
Company has recorded such amount as an extraordinary gain.

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 8 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

     In 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142 "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142). SFAS 142 includes
requirements to annually test goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets
for impairment rather than amortize them; accordingly, the Company no longer
amortizes goodwill. The Company did not record any transition intangible asset
impairment loss upon adoption of SFAS 142.

     In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" (SFAS No. 143). SFAS No.
143 is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2003, and
requires the Company to record the fair value of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. The Company is in
the process of evaluating what impact, if any, this standard will have on the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

     On October 3, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (SFAS No. 144), "Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 addresses
financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and
for long-lived assets to be disposed of. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of." SFAS No. 144, however, retains the fundamental provisions of
SFAS No. 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived
assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be
disposed of by sale. SFAS No. 144 supersedes the accounting and reporting
provisions of APB Opinion No. 30 ("Opinion 30"), "Reporting the Results of
Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for
segments of a business to be disposed of. SFAS No. 144, however, retains the
requirement of Opinion 30 to report discontinued operations separately from
continuing operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity
that either has been disposed of (by sale, by abandonment, or in a distribution
to owners) or is classified as held for sale. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144
on January 1, 2002 and did not record any impairment charges upon adoption.

     On May 1, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145 (SFAS No. 145), "Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections." SFAS No. 145 is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning
January 1, 2003. The Company is in the process of evaluating what impact, if
any, this standard will have on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

     In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (SFAS
No. 146). SFAS No. 146 is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning
January 1, 2003. The Company is in the process of evaluating what impact, if
any, this standard will have on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 9 - NEW CAPCO:

     In April 2002, the Company raised approximately $22 million of certified
capital for the Company's ninth CAPCO fund, Wilshire Colorado Partners, LLC. The
new CAPCO will target early stage, high growth businesses providing products and
services to the small business market within the State of Colorado.

NOTE 10- SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

     On August 12, 2002, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire
Commercial Capital Corporation. See Item 5, below, and Exhibit 99.1.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

        Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 compared to Three Months Ended
June 30, 2001

     Revenues decreased by approximately $3,926,000 to $5,351,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2002, from $9,277,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. Income from tax credits decreased by approximately $3,750,000 to
$4,871,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, from $8,621,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2001 due to the Company's meeting different and, in
certain cases, less investment thresholds mandated by the various state Capco
statutes in 2002 versus 2001. Interest and dividend income decreased by
approximately $355,000 to $220,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002,
from $575,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 This decrease was
primarily due to additional investments made in consolidated entities. The
additional investments reduced cash available to earn interest and dividends.
Consulting fee income increased by approximately $53,000 due to the increase in
consulting related activity. Other income increased by approximately $126,000 to
$207,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, from $81,000 for the three
months ended June, 2001. This decrease was due to the consolidation of revenues
with additional entities now consolidated into the Company.

     Interest expense increased by approximately $65,000 to $2,915,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2002 from $2,850,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The increase was due primarily to the new Capco funded in
April 2002. Payroll and consulting fees increased by $224,000 to $789,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $565,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The increase was due to the consolidation of expenses with
additional entities now consolidated into the Company.

     Professional fees decreased by approximately $269,000 to $434,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2002 from $703,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The decrease was due primarily to the decreased legal expenses
incurred by the Company.

     Other expenses increased by approximately $902,000 to $1,186,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2002 from $284,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The increase was due primarily to expenses from additional
entities now consolidated into the Company.

                                       15



ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AD ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)

     Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001

     Revenues decreased by approximately $4,575,000 to $11,423,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2002, from $15,998,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2001. Income from tax credits decreased by approximately $4,393,000 to
$10,258,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, from $14,651,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001, due to the Company's meeting different and, in
certain cases, less investment thresholds mandated by the various state Capco
statutes in 2002 versus 2001. Interest and dividend income decreased by
approximately $753,000 to $460,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, from
$1,213,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 This decrease was primarily
due to additional investments made in consolidated entities. The additional
investments reduced cash available to earn interest and dividends. Consulting
fee income increased by approximately $91,000 to $99,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 from $8,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 due to
the increase in consulting related activity. Other income increased by
approximately $479,000 to $605,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, from
$126,000 for the six months ended June, 2001. This increase was due to the
consolidation of revenues with additional entities now consolidated into the
Company.

     Interest expense decreased by approximately $617,000 to $5,568,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2002 from $6,185,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2001. The decrease was due primarily to the reduction of interest
payable due to delivery of tax credits to certified investors. Payroll and
consulting fees increased by $1,166,000 to $2,546,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 from $1,380,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The
increase was due to the consolidation of expenses with additional entities now
consolidated into the Company.

     Other expenses increased by approximately $1,361,000 to $1,811,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2002 from $450,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2001. The increase was due primarily to expenses from additional
entities now consolidated into the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has funded its operations primarily through the issuance of
notes to Certified Investors through the Capco program. To date, the Company has
received approximately $159,000,000 in proceeds from the issuance of long-term
debt through the Capco programs. The Company's principal capital requirements
have been to fund the defeasance of the principal amount of notes issued to the
Certified Investors, the acquisition of Capco insurance policies, the
acquisition of partner companies interests, funding of other investments, and
working capital needs resulting from increased operating and business
development activities of its partner companies.

     Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
2002 of approximately $5,071,000 resulted primarily from net loss of $439,000,
decreased by the non-cash interest expense of approximately $5,179,000. It was
also affected by the approximately $673,000 in non-cash equity in net losses of
affiliates, approximately $1,049,000 of minority interest and the approximately
$10,258,000 in non-cash income from tax credits, and the non-cash income tax
benefit of $432,000.

     Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 of approximately $7,139,000 resulted primarily from return of
principal of qualified investments of

                                       16



$10,869,000, offset by approximately $7,913,000 in additional qualified
investments made during the period. In addition, the Company consolidated
approximately $3,985,000 of its investments.

     Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 was approximately $10,162,000, primarily attributable to
approximately $22,719,000 of proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and
$1,300,000 from the private placement of common stock, offset by approximately
$11,641,000 of payments for defeasance of long-term debt, $575,000 for payment
of line of credit, $1,433,000 for payments of note payable - insurance, and
$307,000 in payments on a mortgage payable, during the six months ended
June 30, 2002.

     The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, its anticipated
cash flow from operations, its ability to access private and public debt and
equity markets, and the availability of funds under its existing credit
agreements will provide it with sufficient liquidity to meet its short and
long-term capital needs.

ITEM 5 - OTHER INFORMATION

     On August 12, 2002, the Registrant issued a press release to announce the
signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Commercial Capital Corporation
("CCC") and its parent, Comcap Holding Corp. Headquartered in New York City, CCC
began operations in 1994 and in 1999 was ranked as the fifteenth largest SBA
lender in the U.S. and the second largest in the New York metropolitan area by
dollar volume. John Cox is expected to step down from his position as a member
of the Company's Board of Directors to join Michael Dowd, both long-time SBA
employees, in managing the small business lender. Charles Freeman will remain as
the President of CCC.

     Prior to this agreement, the Company had been exploring investment in other
small business lenders with marketing strategies similar to its own. The
acquisition of CCC and its addition to the business being organized by the
Company will be an important step in this strategy. The transaction is subject
to the approval by the SBA and the stockholders of Comcap Holdings. The Company
has offered to exchange 463,450 of its shares for those of Comcap in an entirely
stock-for-stock exchange.

     The Company is currently in discussions with CCC's warehouse lenders and
