              Notes to UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED Financial Statements
              ----------------------------------------------------


NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of presentation and description of business
-------------------------------------------------


        On September 20, 2000, Newtek Capital, Inc. (Newtek) acquired the
controlling interests in the underlying entities listed below and accordingly
consolidates the financial statements of these entities with its own.
Additionally, on September 20, 2000, Newtek's common stock began trading on the
American Stock Exchange under the symbol "NKC".  Newtek was formed on June 29,
1999 under the name Whitestone Holdings, Inc. and changed its name to Newtek
Capital, Inc. on January 18, 2000, and the underlying entities comprise: BJB
Holdings, Inc. ("BJB"), Wilshire Holdings I, Inc., Wilshire Holdings II, Inc.,
Newtek Securities, LLC, REXX Environmental Corp. ("REXX"), Whitestone Capital
Markets, Inc., The Whitestone Group, LLC ("TWG"); Wilshire Advisers, LLC ("WA"),
Wilshire NY Advisers II LLC ("WAII"), and Wilshire New York Partners III LLC
("WNYIII"), certified capital companies ("Capcos") in New York, Wilshire
Partners, LLC  ("WP"), a Capco in Florida, Wilshire Investors, LLC ("WI"), a
Capco in Wisconsin, Wilshire Louisiana Advisers, LLC ("WLA"), and Wilshire
Louisiana Partners II LLC ("WLPII"), capcos in Louisiana (the Capco entities
are, collectively, the "Capcos" and Newtek and all of these aforementioned
entities and Capcos are collectively the "Company").  TWG acts as an investment
adviser and manager to the aforementioned Capcos as well as a merchant bank and
provides investment banking and business development services including general
business consulting services,  strategic planning, due diligence, merger and
acquisition analysis, technology design and implementation support, joint
venture negotiations and litigation support services.  All significant
intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

        As described above, Newtek acquired the controlling interests in the
underlying entities.  In this connection, Newtek issued 18,823,285 shares of
common stock in exchange for 100% of BJB's shares and the member interests in
the underlying entities.  The principal shareholders of Newtek were the
principal owners of BJB and the underlying entities.  As a result, Newtek has
recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their historical values,
with the net asset value recorded as a credit to stockholders' equity.

        Additionally, on September 19, 2000, Newtek completed its acquisition of
REXX.  Pursuant to the acquisition, REXX stockholders received one share of
Newtek common stock in exchange for each share of REXX common stock held.  The
Company issued 2,467,576 shares of common stock in exchange for 100% (2,467,576
shares) of REXX stock.  This transaction has been accounted for as a
recapitalization, whereby Newtek has recorded the monetary assets and
liabilities of REXX at their historical values (which were not material to the
Company), with the net asset value recorded as a credit to stockholders' equity.

        The following is a summary of each Capco, state of certification and
date of certification:



       Capco        State of Certification      Date of Certification

        WA                 New York                  May 1998
        WP                 Florida                   December 1998
        WI                 Wisconsin                 October 1999
        WLA                Louisiana                 October 1999
        WAII               New York                  April 2000
        WLPII              Louisiana                 October 2000
        WNYIII             New York                  December 2000

                                       6


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

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared without audit and
do not include all footnotes and disclosures required under generally accepted
accounting principles. Management believes that the results herein reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state
the results and current financial condition of the Company for the respective
periods. All such adjustments reflected herein are of a normal, recurring
nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's financial statements contained in its Form 10K-SB for its year ended
December 31, 2000, and all other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Note 2 - CONVERSION OF CAPCO MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS INTO NEWTEK STOCK

     In June 2001, the Company issued 534,592 shares of its common stock to the
minority members of WI in exchange for substantially all of such members'
minority interest.  This has been accounted for as a purchase transaction.  The
fair value of the Company's common stock exceeded the book value of the minority
interest by approximately $978,000 and the Company has recorded such amount as
goodwill.

Note 3 - InVESTMENTS IN QUALIFIED BUSINESSES


     The following table is a summary of investments as of June 30, 2001, shown
separately between their debt  ($12,707,338) and equity ($3,944,978) components
for a total Investment in Qualified Businesses of $16,652,316.  Terms of each
are summarized.  There are no expiration dates on any of the financial

     The Company has not guaranteed any obligation of these investees, and the
Company is not otherwise committed to provide further financial support for the
investees.  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.  At June
30, 2001, the Company has determined that there was $250,000 of other than
temporary decline in the value of its investments for Hypercosm.  In addition,
the Company determined an impairment existed for certain non-Capco investments,
and recorded a charge of $75,000.

The Company recovered $100,000 of cash on one of its investments previously
written down.  This amount is shown on the statement of operations as a
component of other than temporary decline in 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

                                       10


stock equivalents were anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and, therefore, have been
excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

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

NOTE 5 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

During the second quarter of 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business
Combinations ("SFAS 141") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 is effective
for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and for all business
combinations accounted for by the purchase method for which the date of
acquisition is after June 30, 2001.  The provisions of SFAS 142 will be
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.  However, early
adoption of SFAS 142 is permitted for companies with a fiscal year beginning
after March 15, 2001, provided their first quarter financial statements have not
been previously issued.

The Company has determined that the adoption of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 is not
expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

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

Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2000

     Revenues increased by approximately $8,609,000 to $9,277,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001, from $668,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2000. Income from tax credits increased by approximately $8,515,000 attributable
to the tax credits recognized in 2001, due to the Company's meeting investment
thresholds mandated by the various state Capco statutes.

     General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $625,000, to
$1,919,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001, from $1,294,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2000, due to increased staffing and professional
fees (legal and accounting) attributable to the increased size and number of
capcos.  Interest expense increased by approximately $1,506,000 to $2,850,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2001, from $1,344,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2000, which was attributable to the issuance of notes to
Certified Investors relating to the formation of capcos during the prior 12
months.

                                       11


     Equity in net losses of affiliates increased by 662,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001, from $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 due
to the increased number in partner companies and the nature of the Company's
investments in them (more equity investments versus debt).  Other than temporary
decline in investments decreased by approximately $375,000, to $225,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2001, from $600,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2000, due partially to a recovery of $100,000 in cash related to an
investment written down in 2000.  Extraordinary gain decreased by approximately
$432,000, to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2001, from $432,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2000, due to the $432,000 gain recognized on the
defeasance of the Company's liability of its NY II Capco in the second quarter
of 2000 versus no such activity in 2001.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2000

     Revenues increased by approximately $14,729,000 to $15,998,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001, from $1,269,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2000. Income from tax credits increased by approximately $14,434,000
attributable to the tax credits recognized in 2001, due to the Company's meeting
investment thresholds mandated by the various state Capco statutes.

     General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1,675,000,
to $3,770,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, from $2,094,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2000, due to increased staffing and professional fees
(legal and accounting) attributable to the increased size and number of Capcos.
Interest expense increased by approximately $3,684,000 to $6,185,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001, from $2,501,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2000, which was attributable to the issuance of notes to Certified Investors
relating to the formation of capcos during the prior 12 months.

     Equity in net losses of affiliates increased by 961,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2001, from $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 due to the
increased number in partner companies and the nature of the Company's
investments in them (more equity investments versus debt).  Other than temporary
decline in investments decreased by approximately $375,000, to $225,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2001, from $600,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2000, due partially to a recovery of $100,000 in cash related to an investment
written down in 2000.  Extraordinary gain decreased by approximately $432,000,
to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, from $432,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, due to the $432,000 gain recognized on the defeasance of
the Company's liability of its NY II Capco in the second quarter of 2000 versus
no such activity in 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has funded its operations primarily through the issuance of
notes and warrants to Certified Investors through the Capco program.  To date,
the Company has received approximately $136,000,000 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,
2001 of approximately $3,529,000 resulted primarily from net income of

                                       12


$1,985,000, offset by the non-cash interest expense of approximately $5,671,000
and non-cash income tax expense of approximately $1,787,000.  It was also
affected by the approximately $961,000 in non-cash equity in net losses of
affiliates, approximately $930,000 of minority interest and the approximately
$14,651,000 in non-cash income from tax credits.  In addition, the Company had a
decrease in components of working capital of approximately $453,000 (resulting
primarily from the decrease in accounts payable and accruals of approximately
$1,097,000).

     Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2001 of approximately $2,161,000 resulted primarily from approximately
$14,722,000 in additional qualified investments (including $5,703,000 of
investments consolidated in the financial statements) made in the period and
offset by repayments on the debt instruments of $6,900,000.

     Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2001 was approximately $4,166,000, primarily attributable to approximately
$5,200,000 from the issuance of notes payable and approximately $726,000 from
the private placement of common stock during the three months ended March 31,
2001, which was offset by approximately $1,333,000 in payments on notes payable.
In addition, the Company paid approximately $402,000 in distributions to CAPCO
members for taxes.

     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.
