ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(1) OVERVIEW
During the first quarter of fiscal 1999 (three months ending June 30,1998),
InterUnion reported consolidated revenues of $0.6 million versus $1.5 million a
year earlier.
Selected financial data from InterUnion's financial statements is (figures in
000's except per share data):
3 mo. ended 3 mo. ended 3 mo. ended
Jun. - 98 Jun. - 97 Jun. - 96
Revenues 604 1,498 1,458
Net Profit (Loss) (179) 98 58
EPS - Operations (0.11) 0.09 0.08
EPS - Discontinued Operations 0.00 0.00 (0.05)
EPS (0.11) 0.09 0.03
Working Capital (503) 2,146 871
Cash Flow (70) 242 81
Total Assets 12,031 10,063 5,864
Shareholders' Equity 6,518 5,617 3,056
Common Share, # 1,673,803 1,255,250 692,572
Book Value Per Share 3.89 4.48 4.41
It is the first time, this quarter, that the larger share of the revenue derives
from the investment management activities.
(2) NET REVENUES
During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, InterUnion reported consolidated
revenues of $0.6 million versus $1.5 million a year earlier, for a decrease of
59.7%. Investment banking revenues decreased by 80.3% to $274,012 from
$1,390,400 the previous year. Investment management revenues increased by
252.9% to $291,444 from $82,592 the previous year. The decrease of revenues
in the investment banking can be attributed to a number of factors: (i) general
reduction of financing activities in general as well as trading and financing
activity in the small cap market; (ii) concentration of resources in the merger
and acquisition sector for which the final impact on the profitability can only
be assessed at the finalization of the transaction; and (iii) considerable
utilization of investment banking resources for the administration and
development of the investment management activities, therefore diverting
efforts from other revenue generating activities.
(3) EXPENSES
During the first quarter, the Company reduced its expenses from $1,347,358 to
$798,366 from a year earlier, representing a decrease of 40.7%. This decrease
is attributable to the reduction in Selling, General and Administration
relating to a drop in financing activity, which was reduced by 50.8%, to
$618,773 from $1,257,351. This reduction was offset by increases in Interest
charges due to the notes payable assumed in the acquisition of Leon Frazer,
Black & Associates Limited, Black Investment Management Limited and InterUnion
Asset Management Limited in fiscal 1998.
(4) NET INCOME
Net loss from operations for the three months ending June 30, 1998 was $179,892
or $0.11 per share versus a profit of $98,101 or $0.09 per share a year
earlier. Net loss for the three months ending June 30,1998 is $179,892 or
$0.11 per share versus a profit of $98,792 or $0.09 in 1997. The decrease in
EPS is due to the decrease in revenue, as the Company devote most of its
investment banking resources to finalizing the Receptagen Ltd. restructuring
and the administration and development of the investment activity. In the
first quarter of fiscal 1998, InterUnion recorded a gain from discontinued
operation of $691.
Page 6 of 9
The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three months
ending June 30, 1998 is 1,673,803 versus 1,127,589 a year earlier. The
increase is due to the issuance of shares in the form of Regulation "s"
financings and to the acquisition of investment managers.
(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
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 1998 35,000 140,000 Regulation "S"
When not able to issue common shares, due to market conditions, the Company will
issue Notes Payable or Preferred Shares. Until the Company acquired its
investment management subsidiaries and initiated the restructuring of Receptagen
Ltd., the Company did not have any long term debt. The debt assumed in the
Receptagen Ltd. restructuring is matched by receivables, with similar terms.
The Company is currently seeking financing through the issuance of convertible
debt and/or common shares in order to reimburse certain loans incurred in
connection with its acquisitions of investment management companies and to
proceed with the acquisition of managed assets.
In July 1998, the Company and the selling shareholders of Leon Frazer, Black &
Associates Limited reached an agreement to settle the Notes due in July 1998
and 1999. The C$1,677,864 (US $1,140,000) note has been settled by the
issuance of common stock and cash: 231,918 shares of common stock, C$250,000
(US $170,000) in cash paid in July 1998 and $150,000 (US $105,000) to be paid
in September 1998,
To meet its cash requirements and honor its payment obligations to the
shareholders of the investee companies, Rif Capital Inc., a shareholder of the
Company, has loaned $500,000 to the Company. In addition, the Company has a
credit facility with a Canadian chartered bank for up to C$2,350,000 (US
$1,600,000) of which C$1,035,000 had been drawn down as of June 30,1998.
Upon completion of a financing, it is the intention of the Company to
rationalize the corporate structure of its investment management affiliates in
order to maximize its shareholders value, in all classes.
(6) ACQUISITION PROGRAM
InterUnion has accelerated the payment of the notes payable to the shareholders
of some of its investee companies as well as the acquisition of the 8.55% of
InterUnion Asset Management Limited it did not own.
The Company continues to actively explore acquisition opportunities in priority
in the investment management sector in order to provide a stable cash flow and
to increase shareholders' equity.
(7) 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 which has not been discussed above.

(8) CERTAIN RISK FACTORS WHICH MAY IMPACT FUTURE OPERATIONS
