NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE * QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 99 *
1. Interim information is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management,
all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of interim results have
been included in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals.
All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless specified in a
separate note included in these Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial
Statements. The results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. These
financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the
Company's annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, included in its Form 10-KSB for
the year ended March 31, 1999.
2. Earning per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Loss per share is computed using
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period.
3. As of April 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive income." This statement
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components. Comprehensive income is net income plus certain items
that are recorded directly to shareholders' equity bypassing net income.
The only such item currently applicable to the Company is foreign currency
translation adjustments.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(1) Overview
InterUnion Financial Corporation ("IUFC" or "Inter Union "), was incorporated
on February 7, 1994. InterUnion's strategy is to acquire, when possible, a
majority interest in financial services business, using cash and issuance of
its own Common Stock, which subsequently, can be reduced to a minority interest
or sold. InterUnion and its subsidiaries, (collectively, the "Company"), also
provides bridge financing or takes temporary equity positions as part of its
merchant banking activities.
In 1999, the Company has realigned its interest in the Canadian side of its
investment management business, in order to facilitate InterUnion Asset
Management Ltd growth strategy. Upon this realignment, IUAM issued 878,170
Common Shares for gross proceeds of C$10million from Working Venture Canadian
Fund ("WVCF"). The effect of this transaction was to reduce the Company's
interest in IUAM to 44% from 100%. During the first quarter, IUAM informed its
shareholders that its wholly owned subsidiary, AILIS, contrary to earlier
plans, was not going to create a family of funds to be distributed by WVCF.
Since the Company's interest in IUAM is 44% and it has three of seven seats on
the board of directors, IUAM is accounted for on the equity method and is
considered as part of the Company's merchant banking activities.
Selected financial data from InterUnion's fiscal statements is (figures in

Book Value Per share 3.84 3.89 4.48
(2) NET REVENUES
Until the end of fiscal 1999, the Company has dedicated without compensation
the majority of its human and financial resources to IUAM in order to allow
that subsidiary to obtain financing. In the current quarter, the Company has
been able to generate fees as it could dedicate its resources towards its
investment banking business.
During the first three months of fiscal 2000, InterUnion reported consolidated
revenues of $616,703 versus $604,344 in the first three months of fiscal 1999,
an increase of 2.05%. Investment management revenues were affected by a
$147,513 loss in net earnings in unconsolidated affiliate, IUAM. IUAM revenues
for the quarter have been $1,179,445 versus $1,163,320 in the same
Page 6 of 8
period in 1998. IUAM's net earnings for the quarter have been recorded in the
books of InterUnion on the equity method basis. (44%). IUAM's net loss for
the quarter amounted to $335,256 versus $149,411. IUAM investment management
revenues have been affected by increased spending related to a larger payroll
and the AILIS business. Investment banking revenues increased to $581,060 from
$274,012 during the same period in the previous year.
(3) EXPENSES
During the first three months, the Company reduced its expenses by 68.84% to
$248,738 from $798,336. The decrease is attributable to reduction of the
Company's direct costs related to IUAM as well as a foreign exchange gain of
$100,401.
(4) NET INCOME
Net profit from operations (basic) for the three months ending June 30, 1999
was $220,452 or $0.118 per share versus a loss of $179,892 or $0.11 per share
during the same period in fiscal 1999. The increase is due to drastic reduction
in fixed costs, direct costs associated with the management of IUAM as well as
with increased investment banking activity. The Company net income however,
will continue to be affected by the losses incurred by its 44% owned subsidiary
IUAM and certain amortization costs associated with the investment management
business.
The basis weighted average number of Common Shares (diluted) outstanding for
the three months ending June30, 1999 is 2,754,608 versus 2,403,411 the previous
year. The increase is due to the issuance of shares in the form of Regulation
"S" financing in order to meet obligations resulting from the purchase of
investment managers, their realignment and the expenses associated with the
sale of 56% of the Company's interest in IUAM.
(5) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In order to meet its growth plans and fund any operating cash requirements, the
Company's policy is to issue additional capital stock, when possible. To date
the Company has done this either through the issuance of common stock under
Regulation "D" or Regulation "S". The following are details of these private
placements during the previous three fiscal years.
Date # of Shares Amount Type

(6) CONCLUDING REMARKS
There are no other known trends, events or uncertainties that may have, or are
reasonably likely to have, a material impact on the Company's short-term or
long-term liquidity that have not been discussed above.
In addition, there is no significant income or loss that has risen from the
Company's continuing operations that has not been analyzed or specified above.
In addition, there has not been any material change in any line item that is
presented on the financial statements that has not been discussed above.
(7) CERTAIN RISK FACTORS WHICH MAY IMPACT FUTURE OPERATIONS
The Company and its subsidiaries operate in a rapidly changing environment that
involves a number of factors, some of which are beyond management's control,
such as financial market trends and investors' appetite for new financings. It
should also be emphasized that, should the Company not be successful in
completing its own financing (either by debt or by the issuance of securities
from treasury), its strategy to grow by acquisition will be affected.
Management has compiled a list of both internally and externally supplied
information systems that utilize imbedded date codes which could experience
operational difficulties in the year 2000. The Company uses third party
applications or suppliers for all high
Page 7 of 8
level systems and reporting. These systems will either be upgraded and tested
to be in compliance for the year 2000 or the Company will take necessary steps
to replace the supplier. Management is testing new systems for which it is
responsible. It is the Company's objective to be year 2000 compliant for all
systems by the end of fiscal 1999, however, no assurances can be given. The
Company believes that it has provisioned sufficient amounts to cover future
expenditures.
In the opinion of management the financial statements for the period ending
June 30, 1999, accurately reflect the operation of the Company of its
subsidiaries. The Company has taken every reasonable step to ensure itself
that its quarterly financial statements do not represent a distorted picture to
anyone having a business reason to review such statements and who have also
reviewed its previous audited annual financial statements for the year ended
March 31, 1999.
Forward looking statements included in Management's Analysis and Discussion
reflects management's best judgment based on known factors and involves risks
and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information
is provided by InterUnion pursuant to the safe harbor established by recent
securities and should be evaluated in the context of these factors.
