NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
================================================================================
1. Interim information is un-audited; 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 Un-audited 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, 2001,
included in its Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2001.
2. Earning (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period.
CAPITAL STOCK AND ADDITIONAL PAID-IN-CAPITAL
In June 2000, 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.
In September 2000, the Company converted its Class "A" Preferred Shares into
Common Shares at the rate of 1 to 10. Consequently, in lieu of 1,500,000 Class
"A" Preferred Shares the Company issued 15,000,000 Common Shares from the
treasury under regulation "S".
In November 2000, in a special meeting of the shareholders' of the company it
was resolved to execute a reverse split in the issued and outstanding common
stock of the Company in the ratio of ten (10) to one (1). Consequently the
number of issued and outstanding common stock of the Company reduced to
1,899,937 in the 3rd quarter of fiscal 2001, ended December 31, 2000.
SALE OF ASSETS AND DISCONTINUATION OF OPERATIONS
During the second quarter of fiscal 2001 ending September 30, 2000, the Company
sold its investment banking subsidiary, Credifinance Capital Corp. (CFCC).
Effective September 30, 2000, Credifinance Capital Corp. is no longer part of
the Company. As a result of the disposal of the operations of Credifinance
Capital Corp. as of September 30, 2000, the Company reported a profit of
$358,169 from discontinuation of the operations.
However, as a result of disposal of discontinued assets of Credifinance Capital
Corp., the Company incurred a loss of $1,413,686. Effective September 30, 2000,
the only investment asset on which InterUnion is reporting is its minority
interest in InterUnion Asset Management Limited (IUAM).
The un-audited financial statements of IUAM for the 2nd quarter of fiscal 2002
ending September 30, 01, are attached in their entirety as an attachment. IUFC
owned 42.8% of IUAM as of September 30, 01.

(2) NET REVENUES
For the first 6 months of fiscal 2001, InterUnion reported consolidated revenues

(3) EXPENSES

September 30, 2001, amounted to $25,599 as compared to $354,427 a year earlier,
a decrease of $328,828 resulting from the sale of its CFCC operations as of
September 30, 2000.
(4) NET INCOME FOR 6 MONTHS UNTIL SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
Net loss from operations for the 6 months ending September 30, 2001 was a loss
of $171,881 or $0.090 per share based on a weighted average number of shares of
1,899,974 versus a loss of $1,359,590 or $2.824 per share based on a weighted
average number of shares of 481,459 a year earlier.

(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.
(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 period ending
September 30, 2001 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, 2001.
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.

INTERUNION ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000
(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 Guardian Timing Services Inc.,
Leon Frazer & Associates Inc. (formed on the merger of The Glen
Ardith-Frazer Corporation and Leon Frazer & Associates Inc., on
September 1, 2001), P.J. Doherty & Associates Co. Ltd., Black
Investment Management Ltd. (see note 3), and A.I.L. Investment
Services Inc. (see note 3). 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 a period
of 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) Investments
Investments are carried at the lower of cost and fair value.
g) 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 on each
valuation date. Fees billed in advance are recorded as deferred
revenue and taken into income evenly over the term of the stated
billing.

INTERUNION ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000
(amounts expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
h) Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, bank
indebtedness, marketable securities, accounts receivable, investments,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long term debt, other
liabilities and preference shares. 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.
i) 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. 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.
j) Stock-Based Compensation Plan
The Company's stock-based compensation arrangements are described in
Note 12. 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.
k) 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 AND DISPOSITIONS
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.
Fiscal 2001 Acquisitions:
o On March 31, 2001 the Company purchased an additional 3,201 shares in
Leon Frazer & Associates Inc. from Black Investment Management
Limited, thereby increasing the Company's direct ownership in Leon
Frazer & Associates Inc. to 76.5%.
The following are dispositions made during the periods.
Fiscal 2002 Dispositions:
o On July 20, 2001, the Company sold all of its 53.2% share ownership in
Black Investment Management Limited for cash proceeds of $146,250 and
a consolidated gain of $47. Subject to the achievement of certain
threshold levels of revenues of Black Investment Management Limited
over the next three years, the Company may receive additional
proceeds. As these proceeds are contingent upon future events, no
amount is recorded in the current period financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(amounts expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the prior year, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of
$2,565,000 on its investments in Black Investment Management Ltd. and
Guardian Timing Services Inc. Impairment resulted from significant client
departures and the disposition of several product offerings. In the case of
Black Investment Management Ltd., the amount of impairment was based on the
estimated net realizable cash value while for Guardian Timing Services
Inc., the amount of impairment was based on estimated undiscounted future
cash flows.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. DEFERRED INDUCEMENTS
Deferred inducements comprise a controlled company's lease at its Toronto
premises which provides for rent-free periods and periods of 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 lease 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 inducements are expenses associated
with the sub-let arrangement which have been deferred and will be amortized
over the remaining life of the sub-lease. Effective September 1, 2001 the
sub-let arrangement was terminated and a new sub-let arrangement was
entered into with a related party. Termination of the sub-let arrangement
resulted in a net gain of $35,142 in the current period. The related party
sub-let arrangement will have no impact on the consolidated results.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions with shareholders, officers and directors of the Company
influenced by the aforementioned parties are considered related party
transactions.

11. 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 80.61 Common Shares (see note
12) 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. SHARE CAPITAL
The authorized share capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number
of Common Shares and an unlimited number of Class A and Class B Preference
Shares, issuable in series (note 12).
Details of issued share capital are as follows:

========== ============

approved the granting of options to employees to purchase up to 136,300
common shares of the Company which may be granted from time to time.
Various vesting requirements are associated with each employee grant.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of the issuance of common shares relating to the warrant
referred to above, in the prior fiscal year additional stock options were
issued and the preferred share conversion ratio was adjusted to maintain
the proportionate holdings of the option holders and preferred
shareholders as required under the terms of the financial instruments. In
the current fiscal year, it was subsequently determined that the
aforementioned adjustment should not have encompassed any adjustments to
issued stock options. As such, the comparative figures for stock options
have been restated to reflect a correction in the stock options reported
as issued in the prior fiscal year.

As at September 30, 2001, the consolidated group had approximately
$1,726,000 of non-capital losses (March 31, 2001 - $2,079,000) and
$3,052,000 (March 31, 2001 - $391,000) of capital losses which may be
carried forward and utilized to reduce future years' taxable income and
capital gains, respectively. These figures reflect the reduction at
September 30, 2001 of $292,000 in non-capital losses arising from the sale
of Black Investment Management Ltd. and the reduction at March 31, 2001 of
$507,000 in non-capital losses arising from the sale of A.I.L. Investment
Services Inc. Capital losses can be carried forward indefinitely. The
right to claim the non-capital losses expires as follows:

During the period, the Company's future income tax asset increased by
$420,000 and totaled $1,602,000 (March 31, 2001 - $1,182,000) after
applying the statutory tax rate to the temporary differences and
non-capital and capital losses described above.
Subsequently, the net change to the valuation allowance during the period,
and the total valuation allowance as at September 30, 2001 provided by the
Company, increased by $420,000 and totaled $1,576,000 (March 31, 2001 -
$1,156,000) to reduce the future income tax asset, reflecting the
uncertainty of full realization of the future income tax asset.

In accordance with revised recommendations of The Canadian Institute of
Chartered Accountants, the company adopted on a retroactive basis the
accounting standards for calculating Earnings Per Share. Accordingly, prior
period basic earnings per share has been restated to account for the effect
of the outstanding warrants issued which were contingent upon certain
conditions which had been satisfied at March 8, 1999. The basic loss per
share reported in the prior year has been decreased by $0.01 per share.

16. 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 September 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:
6 months ended 6 months ended
September 30, September 30,
2001 2000
--------------- ----------------
Net loss for the period, Canadian GAAP $(589,378) $(860,722)
Stock based compensation (i) -- (34,470)
--------- ---------
Net loss for the period, U.S. GAAP $(589,378) $(895,192)
========= =========
Loss per common share under U.S. GAAP $ (0.36) $ (0.56)
(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.

(amounts expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under APB 25 the intrinsic-value of vested options would have been
$0 (2000 - $0). The intrinsic-value of unvested options is
estimated to be $0 (2000 - $177,000 with a vesting period of two
years). Therefore, total compensation cost for the period under
APB 25 would have been $0 (2000 - $34,470). Had the Company booked
compensation expense in accordance with APB 25, basic loss per
share would have been increased by $0.00 (2000 - $0.02).
b) Other Disclosures:
i) Stock-Based Compensation Expense
For unvested options granted in fiscal year 2000, the estimated
fair value of the underlying equity at date of grant was $13.00.
As such, compensation costs under SFAS 123 would have totaled
$227,700 over 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 $0.02 (2000 - $0.02).
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 period
and loss per common share as reported under U.S. GAAP.
