NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000
================================================================================
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 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, 2000, included in its Form
10-KSB for the year ended March 31,2000.
2. The Company acquired its 243,750 Common Share at the rate of $0.6153 per
share in settlement of $150,000 note receivable from an unrelated party.
3. Earning (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(1) OVERVIEW
During the first three months of fiscal 2001, InterUnion reported consolidated
revenues of $596,795 versus $616,703 a year earlier, representing a decline of
$19,908 or 3%.
Selected financial data from InterUnion's financial statements is (figures in
000's except per share data):
3 mos. ended 3 mos. ended 3 mos. ended
Jun.- 00 Jun.- 99 Jun. - 98
------------ ------------ ------------
Working Capital 1,443 1,164 (503)
Cash Flow 115 332 (70)
Total Assets 11,496 12,502 12,031
Shareholders' Equity 5,025 8,179 6,518
Common Share, # 3,999 2,114 1,673
Book Value Per Share 1.26 3.87 3.89
(2) NET REVENUES
During the first three months of fiscal 2001, InterUnion reported consolidated
revenues of $596,795 versus $616,703 a year earlier, for a decrease of 3%.
Investment banking revenues increased by 1% to 587,523 from $581,060 the
previous year. However, the interest income declined by 74% to $9,272 from
$35,643 a year earlier. The decline in the interest income is attributed to the
settlement of the interest bearing notes receivable in the 3rd quarter of the
fiscal year 2000.
(3) EXPENSES
During the first three months, the Company reported consolidated expenses of
$471,453 as compared to $248,738 a year earlier representing an increase of
$222,715 or 90%. The increase in the expenses is mainly attributed to an
increase in sales commission pay out. However, the Company's consolidated
amortization and depreciation expense reduced by 96% to $2,533 from $64,406 a
year earlier.
Page 6 of 9
(4) NET INCOME
Net loss from operations (basic) for the three months ending June 30, 2000 was
$51,855 or $0.012 per share versus a profit of $220,452 or $0.118 per share a
year earlier. The decrease in EPS was due to: (i) a decrease of 3% ($19,908) in
the revenue of the quarter generated from investment banking and interest
earnings; and (ii) a decrease in foreign exchange gain of $94,864 in the 1st
quarter of 2001 as compared to the same period last year.
The basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three
months ending June 2000 and June 1999 was 4,232,290 versus 1,855,386 a year
earlier. The increase was due to the issuance of 2,128,698 shares in the form of
Regulation "S" during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, by canceling the
debt from its controlling shareholder, RIF Capital Inc. and for repayment of
certain notes payable by RIF Capital Inc.
(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 Number of Shares Amount Type
- ---- ---------------- ------ ----
May 1998 17,002 68,008 Regulation "S"
June 1998 35,000 140,000 Regulation "S"
July 1998 262,142 1,048,568 Regulation "S
December 1998 10,000 40,000 Regulation "S
February 1999 180,000 630,000 Regulation "S
March 1999 25,000 87,500 Regulation "S
March 1999 1,140 4,560 Regulation "S
November 1999 114,500 57,250 Regulation "S
November 1999 2,014,198 805,679 Regulation "S
When market conditions do not allow the issuance of Common Shares, the Company
issues other instruments such as Promissory Notes and/or Preferred Shares.
(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 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.
Page 7 of 9
(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.
In the opinion of management the financial statements for the periods ending
June 30, 2000 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, 2000.
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.
PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Credifinance Securities Limited, an ultimate wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, had filed a claim against a client in 1997 for which it had raised a
C$15,000,000 convertible debenture, on the Superior Court of Montreal (Quebec).
The claim was originally not contested. However, the Company faced a claim from
two employees of Credifinance Securities Limited for commissions, termination
allowance and damages. In compliance with a court order, the total amount of the
commission, C373,920 (US$249,663) was placed in an escrow with Montreal Trust.
On May 29, 2000, the Superior Court of Montreal (Quebec) rendered a judgement
ordering Credifinance Securities Limited to pay C$579,617 (US$387,005) plus
accrued interest to the cross claimants. The above amount was fully provided for
and included in the general and administration expenses in the consolidated
financial statement of the Company for the fiscal year ended as of March 31,
2000.
Upon advice from its counsel who has advised that the May 29, 2000 judgement has
a strong chance of reversal, Credifinance Securities has filed an appeal in the
Supreme Court in Quebec on June 29, 2000.
ITEM 2 -- CHANGES IN SECURITIES
In the 1st quarter ending June 30, 2000 the Company acquired its 243,750 Common
Shares at the rate of $0.6153 per share for $150,000 in settlement of the note
receivable of $150,000 from an unrelated party. The above shares are held in
treasury. Consequently, the number of outstanding Common Shares declined to
3,999,373 from 4,232,290 as of March 31, 2000.
ITEM 3 -- DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
There have been no defaults in the payment of principal or interest with respect

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(amounts expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
InterUnion Asset Management Limited, formerly Cluster Asset Management
Limited, was incorporated on August 13, 1997 under the laws of Ontario. The
principal business activities of InterUnion Asset Management Limited and
its subsidiaries are discretionary and advisory portfolio management
services for its clients and the acquisition of investment management
firms.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
InterUnion Asset Management Limited and its subsidiaries. The
principal operating subsidiaries are A.I.L. Investment Services Inc.,
Black Investment Management Ltd., Glen Ardith-Frazer Corporation,
Guardian Timing Services Inc., Leon Frazer, Black & Associates
Limited, and P.J. Doherty & Associates Co. Ltd. Unless the context
implies otherwise, the term "Company" collectively refers to
InterUnion Asset Management Limited and all of its subsidiaries.
b) Marketable Securities
Marketable securities are valued at market and unrealized gains and
losses are reflected in income.
c) Management Contracts
Management contracts are recorded at cost less accumulated
amortization and are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods
from 5 to 7 years. The Company assesses the value of its management
contracts by considering the future economic benefit associated with
the revenue capacity of the related contracted items.
d) Capital Assets
Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.
Amortization is provided on the following basis:
Computer equipment 30% declining balance
Furniture and fixtures 20% declining balance
Leasehold improvements over the term of lease on a straight line
basis
e) Goodwill
Goodwill being the excess of cost over assigned values of net assets
acquired, is stated at cost less amortization. Amortization is
provided on a straight-line basis over periods from 15 to 20 years.
The value of goodwill is evaluated regularly by reviewing, among other
items, the undiscounted cash flows relating to the returns of the
related business, and by taking into account the risk associated with
the investment. Any impairment in the value of the goodwill is written
off against operations.
f) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized by the Company on an earned basis. For its
services the Company is entitled to an annual fee payable monthly or
quarterly, depending on its agreement with the client. Fees are
calculated based on the fair market value of the portfolio at the end
of each month. Fees billed in advance are recorded as deferred revenue
and taken into income evenly over the term of the stated billing.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999
(amounts expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
g) Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, bank
indebtedness, marketable securities, accounts receivable, investments,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties,
preference shares and long term debt. It is management's opinion that
the Company is not exposed to significant interest risks arising from
these financial instruments. Unless otherwise noted, the fair value of
these financial instruments approximates their carrying values.
The Company is exposed to credit risk on the accounts receivable from
its customers. Management has adopted credit policies in an effort to
minimize those risks. The Company does not have a significant exposure
to any individual customer or counter-party.
h) Income Taxes
As recommended by The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants,
effective April 1, 1999, the Corporation adopted the liability method
of accounting for income taxes. The provisions were applied
retroactively with no significant impact to prior period financial
statements. Under this method, future tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities as well as for the benefit of
losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax
purposes that are likely to be realized.
i) Stock-Based Compensation Plan
The Company's stock-based compensation arrangements are described in
Note 13. No compensation expense is recognized for these arrangements
when stock options are issued to employees. Any consideration paid by
employees on exercise of stock options is credited to share capital.
If stock options are repurchased from employees, the excess of the
consideration paid over the carrying amount of the stock option
cancelled is charged to retained earnings.
j) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from management's best estimates as additional
information becomes available in the future.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. ACQUISITIONS
The following are acquisitions made during the periods. These acquisitions
were accounted for by the purchase method and consolidated from the
respective effective date of acquisition, except where noted.
Fiscal 1999 Acquisitions:
o Effective January 21, 1999, the Company acquired 100% of Guardian
Timing Services Inc., 45% of Black Investment Management Ltd., 33% of

& Associates. The former parent company, InterUnion Financial
Corporation sold the investments for shares of the Company. The sale
was accounted for using the carrying values of the parent company at
January 21, 1999 and reflects a continuity of interest. The Company has
accounted for the operations of the investments with an effective date
of April 1, 1998.
Fiscal 2000 Acquisitions:
o The Company purchased an additional 5,978 shares in Black Investment
Management Limited on April 13, 1999 for cash considerations of

Deferred rent inducement 41,575 100,031
---------------- --------------
$ 133,406 $ 179,729
================ ==============
A controlled company's lease at its Toronto premises provides for rent-free
periods and periods of significantly reduced rent. In order to properly
reflect these rental inducements over the term of the lease, the total
lease payments have been aggregated and allocated over the term of the
lease on a straight-line basis. This treatment of rental inducements has
given rise to deferred rent inducements which will be applied to income
over the term of the lease.

The controlled company has sub-let certain of its leased premises for the
term of the lease. Included in deferred rent inducement are expenses
associated with the sub-lease arrangement which have been deferred and will
be amortized over the remaining life of the sub-lease.

agreement of a subsidiary. Two of the subsidiary's shareholders have a
personal guarantee on the debt. One subsidiary shareholder has guaranteed
up to $125,000 and the other shareholder has guaranteed an unlimited
amount.

12. PREFERENCE SHARES
3,500 Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Class A Preference Shares (with a
value equal to $1,000 per share) were issued on November 19, 1999 as
consideration for the acquisition of P.J. Doherty & Associates Co. Ltd.
These Class A Preference Shares are redeemable at the option of either the
holders (commencing November 19, 2002, subject to certain provisions for
early redemption arising from non-payment of dividends and an Initial
Public Offering of the Common Shares of the Company prior to November 19,
2002) or the Company (commencing November 19, 2001) at $1,000 per share. In
the instance that the Class A Preference Shares are redeemed by the
Company, the holders are entitled to a cash premium of 2.5% per annum,
calculated from the original issue date together with all dividends
accruing thereon whether or not declared. At any time after issuance, each
Class A Preference Share is convertible to 78.408 Common Shares at a
conversion price of $12.7538 per Common Share (subject to certain
provisions with respect to the issuance of additional Common Shares).
Holders of these Class A Preference Shares are entitled to quarterly
cumulative cash dividends of: i.) 2.50% per annum until the third
anniversary of the original issue date; and ii.) 5.00% per annum,
thereafter. Holders of these Class A Preference Shares are also entitled to
an additional dividend of 2.50% per annum accruing until and payable on the
earlier of: i.) the third anniversary of the original issue date; ii.) the
date on which Common Shares are delivered to the holder pursuant to a
conversion of Class A Preference Shares; and iii.) the redemption of such
Class A Preference Shares. As these Class A Preference Shares are
redeemable at the option of the holders, the value of these shares have
been classified as long-term debt on the balance sheet. These Class A
Preference Shares are collateralized by a pledge by the Company of
4,000,000 common shares in the capital of P.J. Doherty & Associates Co.
Ltd. valued at $4,000,000.

13. SHARE CAPITAL
The authorized share capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number
of Common Shares and an unlimited number of Preference Shares (issuable in

prior year, 310,010 convertible Preference Shares were issued and converted
to Common shares on a 1 for 1 basis.

subsequently determined to be less than 95% of said representation, the
majority shareholder is entitled to receive additional common shares of
the Company. Consequently, management has estimated that approximately
54,000 common shares will be issued to the majority shareholder subsequent
to the current period end.

As at June 30, 2000, the consolidated group had approximately $1,916,000
of non-capital losses (1999 -- $640,000) and $0 (1999 -- $90,000) of
capital losses which may be carried forward and utilized to reduce future
years' taxable income and capital gains, respectively. Capital losses can
be carried forward indefinitely. The right to claim the non capital losses

$735,000 (1999 -- $85,000) and totaled $1,014,000 (1999 -- $279,000) after
applying the statutory tax rate to the temporary differences and
non-capital losses described above.
Subsequently, the net change to the valuation allowance during the period,
and the total valuation allowance as at June 30, 2000 provided by the
Company, increased by $735,000 (1999 -- $85,000) and totaled $988,000
(1999 -- $279,000) to reduce the future income tax asset, reflecting the
uncertainty of full realization of the future income tax asset.

As at May 31, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its share
ownership in A.I.L. Investment Services Inc. (AILISI), a wholly owned
subsidiary. AILISI provides all management and administrative services for
one mutual fund corporation. Completion of the sale is conditional upon the
conversion of the managed fund from a mutual fund corporation to a mutual
fund trust to be established by the purchaser and a change in the auditors
of the managed fund. If the shareholders of the managed fund approve the
aforementioned conditions and regulatory approval is received, the sale is
expected to be completed in August 2000.

17. UNCERTAINTY DUE TO THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 Issue arises because many computerized systems use two digits
rather than four to identify a year. Date-sensitive systems may recognize
the year 2000 as 1900 or some other date, resulting in errors when
information using year 2000 dates is processed. In addition, similar
problems may arise in some systems which use certain dates in 1999 to
represent something other than a date. Although the change in date has
occurred, it is not possible to conclude that all aspects of the Year 2000
Issue that may affect the Company, including those related to customers,
suppliers, or other third parties, have been fully resolved.

18. RECONCILIATION OF CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING
PRINCIPLES
The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada
("Canadian GAAP"). Material differences at June 30 between Canadian GAAP
and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S.
GAAP") are described below:
(a) Statements of Operations:
The application of U.S. GAAP would have the following effect on net
loss for the quarter and loss per common share as reported:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999
(amounts expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(i) Stock-Based Compensation Expense
The Company does not recognize compensation expense for stock
options granted. Under U.S. GAAP, Accounting Principles Board
("APB") Opinion No. 25 requires that stock based compensation cost
be recorded using the intrinsic-value method. FASB Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123 encourages the
Company to record compensation expense using the fair-value
method. In reconciling Canadian GAAP with U.S. GAAP, the Company
has chosen to measure compensation costs related to stock options
in accordance with APB 25.
Under APB 25 the intrinsic-value of vested options would have been
$0 (1999 -- $0). The intrinsic-value of unvested options is
estimated to be $177,000 (1999 -- $597,000) with a vesting period
of two years (1999 -- three years). Accordingly, had the Company
recognized compensation cost related to the unvested options the
intrinsic value would have been amortized over the vesting period,
or in amounts of $88,500 (1999 -- $199,000) in each vesting year.
Management's best estimate is that the performance conditions
attached to the unvested options will be met. Total compensation
cost for the period under APB 25 would have been $17,235 (1999 --
$49,750). Had the Company booked compensation expense in
accordance with APB 25, basic loss per share would have been
increased by $0.01 (1999 -- $0.04).
(ii) Common Stock Warrant
Under U.S. GAAP, the common shares to be issued to the majority
shareholder subsequent to the current period end would be
reflected as issued for no consideration as at June 30, 2000. The
inclusion of these common shares would not have a significant
impact on loss per common share reported under U.S. GAAP.
(b) Other Disclosures:
(i) Stock-Based Compensation Expense
For unvested options issued in the current fiscal year, the
estimated fair value of the underlying equity at date of issuance
was $13.00. As such, compensation costs under SFAS 123 would have
totaled $0 (1999 -- $227,700) with a vesting period of three
years.
The fair value estimates were determined using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. Valuation was based on a risk-free interest
rate of 5.46%, an expected term of 10 years, an expected
volatility of 30% and no expected dividends. Had the Company
booked compensation expense, loss per common share would have been
increased by $0 (1999 -- $0.15).
(ii) Comprehensive Income
FASB SFAS No. 130 introduced the concept of Comprehensive
Income. Under this pronouncement, U.S. GAAP requires companies
to report Comprehensive Income as a measure of overall
performance. Comprehensive Income includes net income and all
other changes in equity, exclusive of shareholders'
contributions or any distributions to shareholders. The
application of FASB SFAS N0. 130 would not have a material
effect on net loss for the year and loss per common share as
reported under U.S. GAAP.
