INTERUNION FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
================================================================================
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 Principles. 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
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(1) OVERVIEW
Since the Company's interest has been reduced during the 1st quarter 2000 to 44%
of InterUnion Assets Management Ltd. ("IUAM"), as a result of C$10 million
capital injection by an institutional investor, IUAM is accounted for on the
equity method and is considered as part of the Company's merchant banking
activities.
During the first six months of fiscal 2000 (six months ending September
30,1999), InterUnion reported consolidated revenues of $946,218 versus $1.1
million a year earlier.
Selected financial data from InterUnion's financial statements is (figures in
000's except per share data):

Working Capital ..................... 1,130 (15) 1,418

Total Assets ........................ 12,607 10,668 11,335
Shareholders' Equity ................ 7,989 7,114 6,254
Common Share, # ..................... 2,114,425 1,935,945 1,220,250
Book Value Per Share ................ 3.77 3.67 5.13
(2) NET REVENUES
During the first six months of fiscal 2000 InterUnion reported consolidated
revenues of $946,218 versus $1.1 million a year earlier, for a decrease of 11%,
as the 1999 figure included the revenue from investment management as IUAM was a
100% subsidiary. Investment banking revenues have increased by 230% at $877,237
versus $265,489, reflecting the ability of management to provide cash flow
through agency and principal trading activity, advisory services and
participation in new issues. This has been allowed as the time dedicated to the
day to day operations of IUAM is no longer required.
(3) EXPENSES
During the first six months, the Company reduced its expenses from $1,517,331 to
$670,910 representing a decrease of 56%. This decrease is attributable to
continuing of the monitoring of certain expenses, liquidation of equipment made
obsolete by Internet services, such as certain trading screens and news
services, as well as the cost of operating IUAM. Interest expenses have been
reduced by 58% as loans have been repaid. The 60% reduction in the Selling,
General &
Page 6 of 9
Administration which has declined from $1,325,966 to $528,475 is mostly
attributable to direct IUAM costs which are no longer carried by the Company as
well as the monitoring of certain information systems made redundant. Although
the amortization and depreciation has been reduced by 27% from $138,399 to
$100,849, it is still quite high due essentially to amortization of ITM software
owned by its 100% subsidiary, Bearhill Limited.
(4) NET INCOME
Net profit from operations (basic) for the six months ending September 30, 1999
was $69,190 or $0.033 per Common share versus a loss of $477,022 or $0.27 per
Common share, representing a 112% improvement. The increase in net income is
attributable to continuing reduction of fixed costs, the interruption of direct
costs associated with the day to day operations of IUAM and with increased
activity in investment banking. 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 acquisition of wealth management
companies.
The basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the six
months ending September 30, 1999 is 1,855,386 versus 1,766,456 a year earlier.
The increase is due to the issuance of shares in the form of Regulation "S"
financings, for the acquisition of investment managers and the settlement of
liabilities that arose from these acquisitions.
(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:

(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 it has not been discussed above.
In addition, there are no significant income or losses that has risen from the
Company's continuing operations that has not been analyzed or discussed 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 level systems and reporting. These
systems will either be upgraded and tested to be in compliance
Page 7 of 9
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 compliance for all systems by December
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 periods ending
September 30, 1999 accurately reflect the operations of the Company and 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 has 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
legislation and should be evaluated in the context of these factors.
