                         IMPERIAL PARKING CORPORATION
                        Overview of Financial Statements

Imperial Parking Corporation (Impark) is the corporation which resulted from the
combination of the Canadian parking assets and operations of First Union Real
Estate Equity and Mortgage Investments (First Union) and the parking related
business of First Union Management, Inc. (FUMI).

The businesses combined into Impark are referred to for periods prior to the
combination as follows:

      FUR Parking Business. The FUR Parking Business, constituting the parking
      assets and operations of First Union, consisted primarily of 15 owned
      parking properties in Canada. Since April 1997 subsidiaries of First Union
      have operated this business, including leasing the properties to FUMI for
      operations and management.

      FUMI Parking Business. The FUMI Parking Business consisted of the parking
      services and related ancillary activities that have been continued into
      Impark. Since April 1997 subsidiaries of FUMI have carried on these
      activities. The continuing operations of FUMI's indirect subsidiaries,
      Imperial Parking Limited and Impark Services Ltd., consisted of operating
      and managing parking facilities in Canada and the United States and
      carrying on other parking related activities.

The combination resulting in Impark was completed on March 27, 2000 following a
series of transactions pursuant to a detailed plan of organization. The final
step of the series of transactions was the distribution by First Union of
substantially all of the outstanding shares of common stock to the shareholders
of First Union. For further information regarding this detailed plan of
organization and distribution of common stock, of Impark, refer to the
Information Statement on Form 10 dated March 27, 2000.

The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Impark is at March 31, 2000 and
reflects the combination of the businesses described above. This business
combination has been accounted for by the purchase method with the FUR Parking
Business identified as the acquirer. The business combination has been
recognized with effect from the close of business on March 31, 2000. Additional
information is provided in note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial
statements.

The unaudited consolidated statements of operations present the results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 for Impark,
including in its predecessor form as the FUR Parking Business. The unaudited pro
forma combined statements of operations present the results for Impark combined
with the FUMI parking related business, as further described in note 1 (b). The
operations of the acquired business, the FUMI Parking Business, have been
presented separately in the acquisition note, Note 2 to these financial
statements.

                          IMPERIAL PARKING CORPORATION
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of
the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

(a)   Organization and Basis of Presentation

      Imperial Parking Corporation ("Impark") is the corporation which resulted
      from the combination of the Canadian parking facilities of First Union
      Real Estate Equity and Mortgage Investments (the "FUR Parking Business)
      and the parking related businesses of FUMI (the "FUMI Parking Business").
      We have set out below a brief description of the operations of each
      business being combined.

      FUR Parking Business - The FUR Parking Business, constituting the parking
      assets and operations of First Union, consisted primarily of 15 owned
      parking properties in Canada. Since April 1997 subsidiaries of First Union
      have operated this business, including leasing the properties to FUMI for
      operations and management.

      FUMI Parking Business - The FUMI Parking Business consisted of the parking
      services and related ancillary activities that have been continued into
      Impark. Since April 1997 subsidiaries of FUMI have carried on these
      activities. The continuing operations of FUMI's indirect subsidiaries,
      Imperial Parking Limited and Impark Services Ltd., consisted of operating
      and managing parking facilities in Canada and the United States and
      carrying on other parking related activities.

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect
      Impark's acquisition of the FUMI Parking Business which has been accounted
      for with effect from the close of business on March 31, 2000.

(b)   Pro forma

      The pro forma statements of operations have been compiled from financial
      information in the:

      (a)  unaudited combined financial statements of Impark, including its
           predecessor the FUR Parking Business, for the three months ended
           March 31, 1999 and 2000;

      (b)  unaudited combined financial statements of the FUMI Parking Business
           for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 2000,

      (c)  the additional information presented below.

           The pro forma combined statement of operations reflects the
           combination of Impark and the FUMI Parking Business with effect from
           January 1, 1999 and the following transactions:

           (i)    the elimination of inter-entity lease fees and interest costs;

           (ii)   the elimination of an asset management fee earned by the FUMI
                  Parking Business during the period January 1, 1999 to March
                  31, 2000 for managing the United States parking properties of
                  First Union. The fee agreement was cancelled on the
                  acquisition of the FUMI Parking Business; and


                                                                               8
<PAGE>   9
           (iii)  the elimination of interest expense on long-term debt repaid
                  and the note payable capitalized on the acquisition of the
                  FUMI Parking Business.

      For purposes of the pro forma combined statements of operations, no
      adjustments have been made for interest on additional cash balances.

These pro forma combined statements of operations are not necessarily indicative
of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the transactions
actually taken place at the dates indicated and do not purport to be indicative
of the effects that may be expected to occur in the future.

(c)   Unaudited interim financial information:

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Impark
      have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
      principles and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
      Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
      and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for a
      complete set of financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
      adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) considered
      necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant
      inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in
      consolidation. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2000
      are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
      fiscal year ending December 31, 2000.

(d)   Revenue recognition:

      Parking revenues consist of the parking revenues from owned and leased
      locations. Management contract revenues represent revenues (both fixed
      fees and additional payment based upon parking revenues) from facilities
      managed for other parties. Parking and management contract revenues are
      recognized when earned in accordance with the applicable agreement.
      Deferred revenue primarily represents revenue received in advance of its
      due date.

(e)   Fixed assets:

      Fixed assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided principally on
      a declining-balance basis over a period of three to five years for
      furniture, fixtures and equipment, and over thirty to forty years for
      buildings. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remaining base
      lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is
      shorter.

(f)   Goodwill:

      Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of
      net assets acquired, is amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years.
      Impark assesses the recoverability of this intangible asset by determining
      whether the amortization of the goodwill balance over its remaining life
      can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows of the
      acquired operation. The amount of goodwill impairment, if any, is measured
      based on projected discounted future operating cash flows using a discount
      rate reflecting Impark's average cost of funds. The assessment of the
      recoverability of goodwill will be impacted if estimated future operating
      cash flows are not achieved.

(g)   Income taxes:

      Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
      Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
      consequences attributable to (i) differences between the financial
      statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
      respective tax bases and (ii) operating loss and tax credit carry
      forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
      tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
      temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

                                                                               9
<PAGE>   10
      The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates
      is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

(h)   Foreign Currency Translation:

      The functional currency of Impark's operations in the United States is
      the United States dollar. For facilities and operations located in Canada,
      the functional currency is the Canadian dollar.

      The assets and liabilities of the Canadian operations are translated into
      United States dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet
      date. Revenue and expense items are translated at the rates of exchange
      prevailing during the period. The gains or losses resulting from these
      translations are excluded from the determination of income and included in
      the separate foreign currency translation account within stockholders'
      equity. Other exchange gains and losses are included in the determination
      of income.

2.    ACQUISITION

On March 27, 2000 Impark was formed through a series of transactions involving
the combination of the FUR Parking Business and the FUMI Parking Business. For
accounting purposes the FUR Parking Business has been treated as acquiring the
FUMI Parking Business with effect from the close of business on March 31, 2000
and has accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method. The fair value
of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the FUMI Parking Business were
as follows:

<TABLE>

                                           ========
</TABLE>

      Included in the working capital deficit is $8,123 of cash of the FUMI
      Parking Business


Impark will consolidate the results of operations of the acquired FUMI Parking
Business from April 1, 2000. However, pro forma results have been disclosed in
the accompanying financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 1999
and 2000 as if the acquisition were effective at the beginning of those periods.

The results of the FUMI Parking Business for the three months ended March 31,
1999 and 2000, which have been included in the pro forma results, are summarized
as follows:

3.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

      Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding gives
retroactive effect to the shares issued on the formation of Impark. Diluted
earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock, or if restricted
shares of common stock were to become fully vested, that then shared in the
earnings of the entity.

The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share:

      OVERVIEW

      On March 27, 2000 Impark completed a series of transactions which resulted
in the combination of the Canadian parking facilities of First Union and the
parking and ancillary services of the FUMI Parking Business. The following
discussion reviews the operating results of the combined businesses on a pro
forma basis as if the combination had been in place for the entire periods being
compared.

      The Company operates parking facilities under three types of arrangements:
leases, fee ownership and management contracts. Revenues consist of parking
revenues from leased and owned facilities, and revenues earned in accordance
with the terms of management contracts. Direct costs relate typically to leased
and owned facilities and include rent, payroll and related benefits,
maintenance, insurance, and general operating expenses. Direct costs also
include expenses associated with management contracts that are not recoverable
from the property owner.

Pro forma revenues from leased facilities amounted to $12.1 million and $11.6
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively, accounting
for 82.9% and 82.1% of revenues. Leases generally provide for a contractually
established payment to the facility owner, which is a fixed annual amount, a
percentage of gross revenues, or a combination thereof. As a result, Impark's
revenues and profits in its lease arrangements are dependent upon the
performance of the facility. Leased facilities require a longer commitment and a
larger capital investment by Impark than managed facilities but generally
provide a more stable source of revenue and a greater opportunity for long-term
revenue growth. Under its leases, the Company is typically responsible for all
facets of the parking operations, except for structural, mechanical, and
electrical maintenance and repairs, and property taxes. Lease arrangements are
typically for terms of three to ten years, with renewal options.

Pro forma revenues from owned properties amounted to $0.4 million and $0.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively,
accounting for 2.6% and 2.7% of revenues. Ownership of parking facilities,
either independently or through joint ventures, typically requires a larger
capital investment than managed or leased facilities but provides maximum
control over the operation of the parking facility and the greatest profit
potential of the three types of operating arrangements. As the owner, all
changes in owned facility revenue and expense flow directly to the Company.
Additionally, the Company has the potential to realize benefits of appreciation
in the value of the underlying real estate if the property is sold. Impark
assumes complete responsibility for all aspects of the property, including all
structural, mechanical, and electrical maintenance and repairs and property
taxes.

Pro forma management contract revenues amounted to $2.1 million and $2.2 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Management
contract revenues consist of management fees (both fixed and percentage of
revenues). The Company's responsibilities under a management contract as a
facility manager include hiring, training, and staffing parking personnel, and
providing collections, accounting, record keeping, insurance, and facility
marketing services. Generally, Impark is not responsible under its management
contracts for structural, mechanical, and electrical maintenance and repairs, or
for providing security or guard services or for paying property taxes. The
typical management contract is for a term of one to three years and generally is
renewable for successive one-year terms, but is cancelable by the property owner
on short notice.

As of March 31, 2000, Impark leased 502 parking facilities, owned 15 parking
facilities and operated 874 parking facilities through management contracts.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

Pro forma revenues from leased and owned facilities for the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 increased to $12.5 million from $11.7 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 2000, an increase of $0.5 million, or 4.0%. The increase is primarily
a result of milder winter weather in 2000 and parking rate increases. However,
the Company experienced a net decline of 25 properties in the number of leased
and owned locations in the first quarter of 2000 from the first quarter of 1999.
The net reduction in locations is a result of the sale of Robbins Parking
Services Ltd. (4 leased locations) and the Asian division (14 leased locations)
and closing unprofitable leased locations.

Management contract revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 decreased to
$2.1 million from $2.2 million in the same period of fiscal 1999, a decrease of
$0.1 million or 3.8%. The decrease is attributed to the sale in 1999 of the



                                                                              13
<PAGE>   14
Robbins Parking and Asian operations which generated $0.2 million of management
contract revenue in 1999. This decrease was offset by increased management fees
on existing locations of $0.1 million.

Pro forma direct costs in the first quarter of 2000 decreased to $10.9 million
from $11.3 million in the first quarter of 2000, a decrease of $0.4 million or
4.1%. This decrease was due primarily to the sale in 1999 of the Robbins Parking
and Asian operations which incurred $0.6 million of direct costs in the
comparable period in 1999. This decrease was offset by higher rent in the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 than in the same quarter of 1999. Rent expense
increased $0.3 million from $7.4 million for the first quarter of 1999 to $7.7
million for the first quarter of 2000. Rent as a percentage of pro forma
revenues, excluding Robbins and Asia, decreased to 52.5% in the first quarter of
2000 from 54.9% in the same quarter of 1999. This decrease is principally a
result of improved revenues on lease locations due to the milder weather and
cancellation of unprofitable locations. Direct costs as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 74.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 from 79.7% in fiscal
first quarter 1999.

Pro forma general and administrative expenses remained unchanged at $2.8 million
for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and fiscal first quarter 1999. General and
administrative expenses, as a percentage of pro forma total revenues decreased
to 18.8 % for the first fiscal quarter 2000 compared to 19.6 % for the first
quarter of fiscal 1999.

Depreciation and amortization for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 decreased to
$1.1 million from $1.3 million in fiscal first quarter 1999, a decrease of $0.2
million or 18.6%, as a result of the full amortization of certain management and
lease agreements which are amortized over the term of the agreements.

There is no interest expense in the pro forma results as the related bank
indebtedness was repaid and the note payable to FUR was contributed as part of
the acquisition on March 27, 2000.

The pro forma net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2000
was $0.1 million - a decrease of $1.2 million from the first quarter loss in
1999 of $1.3 million. This decrease is primarily due to increased gross margin
of $0.9 million and lower other operating expenses of $0.3 million.



      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      As part of the plan of organization, First Union contributed $32.7 million
of cash as paid-in capital. Of this amount $26.4 million was utilized to repay
all existing bank debt and $0.4 million was used to acquire the minority
interest in the FUMI Parking Business. The balance of $5.9 million is for
working capital purposes and to fund commitments made.

      As at March 31, 2000, Impark had cash of $16.0 million. The cash balance
is primarily a result of $8.1 million cash acquired as part of the acquisition
of the FUMI Parking Business, $2.0 million in Impark, $2.6 million contributed
by First Union as part of the distribution transactions, and $3.3 million cash
contributed by First Union to complete its commitment to fund up to $6.7 million
in development costs for the 4,900 spaces for the new San Francisco Giants
Stadium (Pacific Bell Park). Cash in the acquired business includes $4.3 million
attributable to deferred revenues for season pass parking and other receipts at
Pacific Bell Park.

      At March 31, 2000 Impark had no long-term bank debt outstanding. Impark
has an $8.0 million line of credit with First Union to fund working capital
requirements, acquisitions and other capital investment opportunities. This
credit facility is due September 30, 2000, with two options to extend for three
additional months each. The line of credit bears interest at a floating annual
rate equal to the London Interbank Offer Rate plus 4.5% per annum.

      We intend to obtain a new facility with a commercial bank as soon as
practicable. This facility is intended to replace the First Union credit
facility and will be used to support working capital, establish letters of
credit and fund capital investment opportunities. Impark may need letters of
credit when it bids on larger lease or management contracts.





                                                                              14
<PAGE>   15
      In the next 12 months, we anticipate the working capital necessary to
satisfy current obligations will be generated from operations, available cash,
the First Union credit facility and Impark's new bank facility.

      Depending on the timing and magnitude of future investment opportunities,
which could be in the form of leased or purchased properties, Impark's joint
ventures and acquisitions, we anticipate the cash required to come from
operations, the First Union credit facility (or its commercial bank
replacement), a rights offering or an equity offering.

      In the future, if we identify investment opportunities requiring cash in
excess of operating cash flows and credit facilities, we may seek additional
sources of capital, including the sale or issuance of Impark common stock or a
rights offering, or amending our credit facility to obtain additional
indebtedness. No assurances can be given that such increases would be available
at the time needed to complete any such acquisition.

      At March 31, 2000, Impark is committed to the completion of the
development of the approximately 4,900 spaces for the new San Francisco Giants
Stadium (Pacific Bell Park). Of the $7.8 million estimated cost, Impark has
funded $1.1 million and First Union has funded $3.4 million and contributed this
investment in the limited liability company and $3.3 million in cash (included
in the cash balances described above) to fund the balance up to its $6.7 million
commitment. Should the development cost exceed $7.8 million, the excess cost
will be funded by Impark.


ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rates

      The Company's primary exposure to market risk consists of changes in
interest rates on cash invested in short-term deposits. Changes in interest
rates could impact the Company's anticipated interest income.

Foreign currency exposure

      Impark operates wholly owned subsidiaries in Canada. Total pro forma
revenues from Canadian operations amounted to $12.4 million and $12.2 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Impark intends
to continue to invest in Canadian leased or owned facilities, and may identify
expansion opportunities in other foreign countries. Our exposure to foreign
currency fluctuations is limited as the Canadian dollar revenues have to date
been significantly offset by Canadian dollar operating costs. In limited
circumstances we have denominated Canadian contracts in U.S. dollars to limit
currency exposure. Presently, Impark has no formal hedging programs. We
anticipate implementing a hedging program if such risk materially increases.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

LITIGATION

      The provision of services to the public entails an inherent risk of
liability. We are engaged from time to time in routine litigation incidental to
our business. Other than a case involving Eau Claire Market in Calgary, Alberta
described below, there is no legal proceeding to which we are a party which, if
decided adversely could materially harm our financial condition. We attempt to
disclaim liability for personal injury facilities we operate. We also carry
liability insurance that we believe meets or exceeds industry standards as
determined by our



                                                                              15
<PAGE>   16
landlords. We can provide no assurances, however, that any future legal
proceedings (including any related judgements, settlements or costs) will not
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results
of operations.

      The Eau Claire Market litigation was filed in the Queen's Bench of Alberta
on August 20, 1998. It involves a claim against a property in which we are the
lessee. The plaintiff assets that it is entitled to priority over our lease and
to possession of the property. We believe that this claim is without merit. If,
however, we do not prevail in the litigation, we may be forced to renegotiate
the lease with the landlord, in which case the rent could be substantially
increased and may materially impact our results.

      Imperial Parking Canada Corporation, a subsidiary of Impark, is a
defendant in a lawsuit brought by Newcourt Financial Ltd. as the assignee of
Oracle Corporation Canada Inc. The suit was filed in Ontario Superior Court on
June 11, 1999. It alleges that Imperial Parking Canada Corporation and FUMI owe
approximately $825,000 under a software licence and services agreement. We
believe that these claims are without merit, however the legal action is in its
earliest stages. First Union has agreed to assume all liability with respect of
this claim.
