NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
===============================================================================
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 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, 1997, included in its Form 10-KSB
for the year ended March 31, 1997.
2. During the first quarter, the Company issued 60,000 incentive stock options
with an exercise price of $3.00. These stock options were exercised for a net
funding of $180,000.
3. In the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company crystallized its investment
in Receptagen Ltd. discribed in the Company's audited consolidated statements
dated March 31, 1997 and its annual filing. This investment is recorded as a
long term investment on the Company's balance sheet. The Company assumed the
financial responsibility of $678,074 in notes payables by Receptagen and issued

InterUnion received approximately 21,284,898 units of Receptagen and a note
receivable for $678,074 from Receptagen. Each InterUnion share purchase warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one share of InterUnion at $4.00. Each
Receptagen unit is exchangeable into one Receptagen Common Share and one
Receptagen warrant. Each Receptagen warrant entitles the holder to purchase one
Receptagen share at C$0.07. InterUnion subsequently disposed of 8,189,655
Receptagen units, to hold 13,095,243.
4. Earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Loss per share is computed using the

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(1) OVERVIEW
During the first quarter of fiscal 1998 (three months ending June 30, 1997),
InterUnion reported consolidated revenues of $1.47 million versus $1.46 million
a year earlier.
Selected financial data from InterUnion's financial statements is (figures in
000's except per share data):

In the first quarter of fiscal 1998, InterUnion crystallized the
recapitalization plan of Receptagen Ltd. InterUnion assumed the financial
responsibility of $678,074 in notes payables by Receptagen and issued 225,536
shares and 225,536 InterUnion share purchase warrants. In return, InterUnion
received approximately 21,284,898 units of Receptagen and a note receivable for
$678,074 from Receptagen. Each InterUnion share purchase warrant entitles the
holder to purchase one share of InterUnion at $4.00. Each Receptagen unit is
exchangeable into one Receptagen Common Share and one Receptagen warrant. Each
Receptagen warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Receptagen share at
C$0.07. InterUnion subsequently disposed of 8,189,655 Receptagen units to hold
13,095,243.
(2) NET REVENUES
During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, InterUnion reported consolidated
revenues of $1.47 million versus $1.46 million a year earlier. Commissions and
investment revenues were $1.12 million versus $1.23 million a year earlier, for
a decrease of 8.5%. Revenues for the three months to June 1997 were $1,472,991
versus $1,458,234, for an increase of 1.0%. The increase in revenue is
attributable to the increase in Fee Revenue as the firm restructured its
broker/dealer operations to concentrate on corporate finance versus agency
activities.
(3) EXPENSES
Expenses for the quarter decreased by $20,624, to $1,321,890 from $1,342,514 for
the same period a year earlier. This translates into a 1.5% reduction. This
reduction is attributable to the gain on foreign exchange and a reduction in
Selling, Marketing & Research costs due to the concentration on corporate
finance mentioned above.
(4) NET INCOME
Net income from operations for the three months ending June 30, 1997 was $98,101
or $0.09 per share versus $57,948 or $0.08 per share a year earlier. Net income
for the three months ending June 30, 1997 is $98,792 or $0.09 per share versus
$22,136 or $0.03 in 1996. The increase in EPS is due to the increase fee revenue
that the firm earned and the reduction in Selling, Marketing & Research costs
discribed above. In the first quarter of fiscal 1998, InterUnion recorded a gain
from discontinued operation of $691 versus a loss of $35,812 a year earlier. The
increase in income from discontinued operation is due to InterUnion's auction
subsidiary, Reeve Mackay & Associates, ability to break-even in the quarter.
(InterUnion anticipates finalizing the sale of Reeve, Mackay in the second
quarter.)
Page 6 of 10
The average number of common shares outstanding for the three months ending June
30, 1997 is 1,061,436 versus 692,572 a year earlier. The Company issued
additional shares in the form of Regulation "S" financings during the period in
order to finance its expansion and the cash flow requirements of its
subsidiaries. Shares issued in the recapitalization of Receptagen Ltd were
issued under Rule 144.
(5) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company does not have any long term debt. In order to meet its growth plans
and any operating cash requirement the Company's current policy is to issue
additional capital stock. To date the Company has done this either through the
issuance of Confidential Private Placement Offerings under Regulation "D" or
Regulation "S". The following are details of these private placements:
DATE # OF SHARES AMOUNT TYPE
---- ----------- ------ ----
April 1994 2,500 $ 10,000 Regulation "D"
May 1994 5,000 20,000 Regulation "D"
July 1994 11,250 35,000 Regulation "D"
August 1994 43,511 87,022 Regulation "D"
October 1994 5,000 50,000 Regulation "D"
March 1995 75,000 300,000 Regulation "D"
June 1995 62,500 125,000 Regulation "D"
October 1995 100,000 200,000 Regulation "D" & "S"
March 1996 160,000 320,000 Regulation "D"
September 1996 277,142 759,710 Regulation "S"
June 1997 60,000 180,000 Regulation "S"
Reeve, Mackay has been in operation for approximately 27 months and InterUnion
did not expect its operation to be profitable prior to its third year. Since
inception, Reeve Mackay has posted a loss of approximately $838,000, of which
$438,000 was during the first year of operation and $400,000 in the second year.
Although Reeve, Mackay has broken even for the quarter, InterUnion plans to
carry out its disposition of its auction subsidiary during the second quarter.
(6) ACQUISITION PROGRAM AND NEW RESEARCHES CORPORATION
In July 1997, InterUnion acquired a 33% interest in Leon Fraser, Black &
Associates Limited. ("LFB"). InterUnion's investment in LFB has been financed
from working capital. LFB has approximately C$200 million under management, thus
bringing total assets under management through the InterUnion Group of companies
almost C$300 million. This investment will be reflected in InterUnion's
financial statements for the second quarter of fiscal 1998.
InterUnion's management continues to explore opportunities for the acquisition
of operating companies that will provide additional liquidity and cash flow.
Such acquisitions would be financed by the issuance of common stock from
treasury or, if required, by means of private placement. Management has
investigated a number of opportunities, and to date, has finalized the
acquisition of the option on New Researches and the investment banking
facilities offered to Receptagen as they have met the Company's objectives. The
Company is also considering special situation acquisitions linked to bridge
financing activities.
(7) CONCLUDING REMARKS

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

(8) CERTAIN RISK FACTORS WHICH MAY IMPACT FUTURE OPERATIONS

involves a number of factors, some of which are beyond management's control,
such as financial market trends and investors' appetite for new financings.

uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in
