NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Numex Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State
of Delaware in August 1980.

Effective March 31, 1999, the Company discontinued the manufacture and sales of
its only product and ceased operations. On April 12, 1999, Numex acquired all
the outstanding capital stock of Jeffrey A. Stern & Associates, Inc.

                                      4

<PAGE>

(JSA), a company incorporated under the laws of the State of California, with
the issuance of 3,046,875 shares of Numex's common stock (the JSA
Acquisition). JSA is the remaining operating entity after the acquisition
(see Note 2), which provides distributing and publishing services to various
commercial customers throughout the United States. In addition, JSA is
engaged in publishing, circulating and selling advertisements in its own
print publications. Following the JSA Acquisition, the Company plans to
leverage its expertise and proprietary media vehicles in the Hispanic market
by developing an electronic shopping mall for Hispanics. The Company will
call the new venture "InternetMercado.com", which will be a bilingual
e-commerce web site specializing in retail and service merchandising to the
US Hispanic market. The site leverages the Company's expertise in Hispanic
marketing, entertainment programming and direct response media to draw and
retain loyal customers to a unique and culturally relevant mix of retailers,
products, services and education elements.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10QSB and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements do not include all
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. All of the financial statements
were prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. In the opinion of the
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three months period ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31,
2000. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements of
both the Company and JSA, and the footnotes thereto, for the year ended March
31, 1999.

NOTE 2 - MERGER

In April 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of JSA.
Listed below are the various events occurring within JSA and Numex in
conjunction with this acquisition:

(a)      On April 9, 1999, JSA issued 93.464 shares of no par value common
         stock, to certain employees as compensation. These shares were granted
         to the employees on January 5, 1999 in connection with the merger.

         Additionally, JSA elected to dissolve and liquidate its subsidiary, JSA
         Communications LLC, and transfer all of the assets and liabilities to
         JSA. Pursuant to the transaction, JSA issued 106.09 shares of the
         common stock to acquire the minority's interest in this subsidiary. JSA
         accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting
         with the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at fair
         values, and the results of the acquired business will be included in
         the consolidated financial statements from the closing date of the JSA
         Acquisition. JSA recorded goodwill of $437,894 representing the excess
         of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired.

(b)      On April 12, 1999, JSA merged with and into a newly found subsidiary of
         the Company under a plan of reorganization. In conjunction with the
         merger, the former officers of JSA became officers of the Company. The
         shareholders of the JSA received 3,046,875 shares of the Company's
         common stock (or approximately

                                      5

<PAGE>

         26% of the Company's common stock on the effective date of the merger).

         For accounting purposes, this transaction was accounted for as an
         acquisition of the Company by JSA (reverse acquisition). The shares
         held by the shareholders of the Company prior to the acquisition have
         been recognized as if they were issued in connection with the
         acquisition of the Company by JSA. The Company accounted for the
         acquisition using the purchase method of accounting with the assets
         acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at fair values, and the
         results of the acquired business will be included in the consolidated
         financial statements from the closing date of the merger. No goodwill
         was recognized since the purchase price equaled to the fair value of
         the assets acquired.


NOTE 3 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT

In conjunction of the merger, the Company also completed a private placement of
144,000 shares of 5% Series B Convertible Preferred stock for $25.00 per share
on April 12, 1999. These shares are convertible into 2,400,048 shares of common
stock. Concurrent with this placement and the above merger, the Company reached
an agreement with JSA's lender to amend the line of credit. In accordance with
the amendment, the Company paid $1,800,000 to refinance the outstanding balance
of $2,739,594 to approximately $939,000.

The Company recorded deemed dividend of $1,728,107 in connection with the
private placement. This amount represents the difference between the issue
price of the shares of preferred stocks and the market value of the shares of
common stocks issuable upon conversion of the shares of preferred stock,
assuming that the shares of preferred stock were converted into shares of
common stock on the date of the private placement.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PLAN OF OPERATIONS, AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB. Certain statements contained herein that are not
related to historical results, including, without limitation, statements
regarding the Company's business strategy and objectives, future financial
position, expectations about pending litigation and estimated cost savings, are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Securities Exchange Act") and involve risks and uncertainties. Although the
Company believes that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements
are based are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such assumptions will
prove to be accurate and actual results could differ materially from those
discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, regulatory
policies, competition from other similar businesses, and market and general
economic factors. All forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-QSB
are qualified in their entirety by this statement.

INTRODUCTION:

On April 12, 1999, Numex Corporation (the "Company") acquired all of the
outstanding stock of Jeffrey A. Stern & Associates, Inc. ("JSA"), in exchange
for 3,046,875 shares of common stock in the Company (the "JSA Acquisition"). For
accounting purposes, the JSA Acquisition is treated as a re-capitalization of
JSA with JSA as the acquirer (reverse acquisition). Accordingly, the discussion
below provides information solely with respect to the results of operations of
JSA. In connection with the JSA Acquisition, JSA acquired the minority interest
in JSA Communications, LLC in exchange for 106.09 shares in JSA. JSA
Communications LLC was subsequently merged with JSA. This transaction resulted
in goodwill of $437,894 being recorded on JSA's books.

Following the JSA Acquisition, the Company plans to leverage its expertise and
proprietary media vehicles in the Hispanic market by developing an electronic
shopping mall for Hispanics. The Company will call the new venture

                                      6

<PAGE>

"InternetMercado.com", which will be a bilingual e-commerce web site
specializing in retail and service merchandising to the US Hispanic market.
The site leverages the Company's expertise in Hispanic marketing,
entertainment programming and direct response media to draw and retain loyal
customers to a unique and culturally relevant mix of retailers, products,
services and education elements. The Company's ability to achieve its
business plan with respect to InternetMercado.com depends to a substantial
extent on its ability to obtain financing.

The Hispanic market is one of the fastest-growing Internet and e-commerce
market segments in the US. According to the Tomas Rivera Policy Institute,
30% of US Hispanic households now own computers in 1998, up from 13% in 1994,
a number that is growing twice as fast as the national average. Internet
users among US Hispanic households increased from 2% to 15% during the same
period. The US Hispanic population is also growing rapidly. In 1980, the US
Hispanic population (including Puerto Rico) was 14.6 million. This number
grew 4.8% to 32.5 million in 1997 and is projected to reach 56.7 million in
2020, and 100.4 million by 2050.

The Company has begun the groundwork for its e-commerce business, which is
expected to be launched by the fourth quarter of 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998:

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased by approximately
30% to $1,482,000 from $1,142,000 for the same period last year. This growth
was attributed to revenues generated from new advertising and media programs
that were introduced during the last fiscal year.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $1,120,000
compared to $676,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. As a
percentage of revenues, this cost accounted for 76% and 59% of revenues,
respectively. The higher percentage this year was attributed to the lower
margin from the recently introduced advertising and media programs, which are
still in their promotional stages. The higher cost of revenues for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 resulted in a decrease in gross profits to
$362,000 compared to $467,000 for the same period last year.

Operating expenses increased $884,000 to $1,434,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 from $550,000 for the same period last year. This
increase was primarily due to employee compensation in the form of shares of
common stock of JSA issued to certain employees of JSA in connection with the
JSA Acquisition, increase in salary expenses and finder's, legal and audit
fees incurred in respect of the JSA Acquisition. The JSA shares of common
stock issued to employees of JSA were subsequently exchanged for shares of
common stock of the Company. The aggregate value of the shares was
approximately $139,000 on the day the JSA shares were granted to the
employees. Salary expenses increased $172,000 between the two periods. The
increase was attributed mainly to employment agreements entered with Mr. Jack
Salzberg as Non-executive Chairman of the Company and Mr. Jeffrey Stern as
President and CEO of the Company, and also an increase in the number of sales
personnel and the employment of senior managers for the Company's e-commerce
business. Finder's, legal and audit fees incurred for the reverse merger were
approximately $564,000.

Interest expense decreased by approximately $40,000 to $22,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 from $72,000 for the same period last year. The
decrease was a result of the reduction in bank borrowing and the note held by
one of the Company's vendors.

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $1,039,000 compared to
$172,000 for the same period last year. The increase in net loss of $867,000
was mainly due to the decrease in gross profit and higher operating expenses.
The decrease in gross profit was due to lower margin from recently introduced
advertising and media programs, which are still in their promotional stage.
The increase in operating expenses was attributed mainly to an increase in
salary expenses, and expenses related to the JSA Acquisition discussed above.

The Company recorded a deemed dividend on its preferred stock of $1,728,107
during the three months ended June 30, 1999 in connection with the private
placement discussed below. This amount represents the difference between the
issue price of the shares of preferred stock and the market value of the
shares of common stock

                                      7

<PAGE>

issuable upon conversion of the shares of preferred stock, assuming that the
shares of preferred stock were converted into shares of common stock on the
date of the private placement.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

In connection with the JSA Acquisition, the Company completed a private
placement (the "Private Placement") of 144,000 shares of Series B 5% Convertible
Preferred Stock, priced at $25.00 per share. These shares are convertible into
2,400,048 shares of common stock of the Company. The gross proceeds from the
Private Placement were $3,600,000. Commissions and out-of-pocket expenses
incurred were $302,000. $1,800,000 of the proceeds were used to repay a portion
of JSA's outstanding bank line-of-credit of $2,739,594. The remaining balance of
the bank line-of-credit of approximately $939,000 was refinanced with a 5-year
term loan with interest payments only until June 2002. The rate of interest for
the new term loan is LIBOR plus 3%.

The Company's total cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1999 was $882,470
compared to $103,980 at June 30, 1998.

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended June 1999
was $756,000. This was mainly attributed to the net loss incurred for the
period as a result of the low margins earned on the Company's new advertising
and media programs, reduction in accounts payable by $110,000, a reduction in
deferred revenue by $158,000 and an increase in accounts receivable by
$55,000. Operating activities provided $174,000 in net cash for the three
months ended June 30, 1998, principally through increases in accounts
payable, deferred revenues and capitalized production cost.

Net cash provided by investing activities in the three months ended June 30,
1999 was $132,348. For accounting purposes, the JSA Acquisition resulted in
net assets of $185,441 being acquired. Cash used in investing activities of
approximately $53,000 was primarily for the acquisition of new computer
hardware and software, and the purchase of a trademark for the Company's
e-commerce business. Net cash used for the three months ended June 30, 1998
was $1,390.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended June
30, 1999 was approximately $1,421,000. These inflows were primarily the net
proceeds of $3,319,000 received from the Private Placement less repayment of
$1,800,000 of JSA's outstanding bank line-of-credit of $2,739,594. During the
three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company also paid $94,000 towards a
note held by one of its vendors, reducing the outstanding balance on that
note to approximately $180,000. Cash usage for the three months ended June
30, 1998 was $68,000, which was attributed mainly to a reduction in bank
overdraft by $54,000.

The Company's present operations are not expected to generate sufficient cash
inflow for its new e-commerce venture and it will have to rely upon external
financing sources to meet its cash requirements. Management is currently
seeking to raise additional funding in the form of equity or debt, or a
combination thereof. However, there is no guarantee that it will raise
sufficient capital to execute its business plan. To the extent that the
Company is unable to raise sufficient capital, the Company's business plan
will be substantially modified and operation curtailed.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES:

The Company is currently addressing Year 2000 issues. Year 2000 issues are
the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than
four to define the applicable year associated with the program or an
associated computation. Any of the Company's computer programs that have
time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculation causing disruptions of operations, including among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices or
engage in normal business activities.

Management has assessed its information technology hardware and software,
including personal computers, application and network software for Year 2000
compliance readiness. Over the last two years, the Company

                                      8

<PAGE>

upgraded and purchased various computer hardware and software, all of which
are Year 2000 compliant and does not foresee the need of additional purchases
in relation to the Year 2000 issues.

Although the Company believes its computer systems are Year 2000 compliant,
the most significant internal control risk posed by the Year 2000 issues is
the possible failure of the Company's accounting systems. If the accounting
systems were to fail, the Company would implement manual accounting
processes, which may slow the timeliness of information needed to manage the
business. The Company has upgraded its accounting systems. However, there can
be no assurance that such action will avoid problems that may arise. The most
significant outside control risk is possible problems experienced by the
Company's financing institutions that maintained the Company's depository
accounts and outstanding debts. The Company is in the process of confirming
the state of readiness with these parties.

         Publishing and others that were subsequently lost. In the arbitration,
         Beck seeks an award for $103,500 plus holding fees in the amount of
         $34,740, accruing at the weekly rate of $455. An arbitrator has been

         that 60 original photographs which were submitted for possible
         publication were lost or destroyed. Harmon's complaint asserts claims
         for breach of contract, breach of implied contract, negligence and
         fraud. Harmon seeks as compensatory damages, the value of the 60
         original photographs, punitive damages, costs and attorney's fees. The
