WESTMINSTER CAPITAL, INC.  AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2000

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      In the opinion of Westminster Capital, Inc. and consolidated entities (the
      "Corporation"), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
      statements, prepared from the Corporation's books and records, contain all
      adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a
      fair presentation of the Corporation's financial condition as of June 30,
      2000 and December 31, 1999, and the results of operations, statements of
      cash flows and statements of comprehensive income for the periods ended
      June 30, 2000 and 1999.

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Westminster
      Capital, Inc. and its subsidiaries including a 100% interest in Westland
      Associates, Inc. ("Westland"), an 80% interest in One Source Industries,
      LLC ("One Source"), a 70% interest in Physician Advantage, LLC ("Physician
      Advantage") and a 68% interest in Logic Technology Group, Inc., dba Matrix
      Visual Solutions ("Matrix").

      The Corporation disposed of its assets in Global Telecommunications on
      January 31, 2000. The statements of consolidated income, cash flows, and
      related notes to consolidated financial statements have been restated to
      conform to the discontinued operations presentation (Note 6).

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
      prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do
      not include all information and footnotes necessary to present the
      financial position, results of operations, statements of cash flows and
      statements of comprehensive income in conformity with generally accepted
      accounting principles. The material set forth below under the heading
      "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
      of Operations" is written with the presumption that the users of the
      interim financial statements have read or have access to the most recent
      report on Form 10-K which contains the latest audited consolidated
      financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management's
      Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
      as of December 31, 1999 and for the year then ended.

      In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
      Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, which delays the effective date of
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
      Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133). SFAS No.
      133, which requires that all derivatives be recognized as assets or
      liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet measured at fair value, is
      effective for the Corporation starting in its fiscal year 2001, but is
      currently not expected to have a significant impact.

      In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
      Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements"
      (SAB 101), which provides additional guidance in applying generally
      accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in the financial
      statements. The Company has evaluated the provisions of SAB 101 and
      believes its impact on their revenue recognition policy is immaterial.

     comprised of two lines of credit and a term loan from a bank. The term loan
     in the principal amount of $750,000 requires monthly principal and interest
     payments amortizing over a five-year term beginning April 2000. The
     outstanding principal balance at June 30, 2000 was $703,000. The revolving
     line of credit for working capital purposes in the nominal principal amount
     of $750,000 has a maturity date of March 2004 and requires monthly payments
     of interest only. At June 30, 2000 the outstanding principal balance was
     $432,000. The revolving line of credit for equipment purchases in the
     nominal amount of $1,000,000 has a maturity of April 2005, and requires
     monthly payments of interest only through March 2001, and thereafter
     amortized in 48 equal monthly payments of principal plus accrued interest.
     At June 30, 2000 principal of $593,000 was owed on the equipment line of
     credit. Each loan is secured by Matrix' assets and bears interest at the
     bank's prime rate (currently 9.50%).

     in compliance at June 30, 2000. Total outstanding principal on these credit
     facilities at June 30, 2000 was $1,728,000. The loan proceeds were used in
     part to repay certain credit lines of approximately $585,000 owed to
     another bank in April 2000.

     In addition to the Matrix bank lines of $1,728,000, other borrowings

      Net income per common share is computed in accordance with Statement of
      Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, EARNING PER SHARE, and is
      calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares
      outstanding during each period plus the additional dilutive effect of
      common stock equivalents. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options
      is calculated using the treasury stock method.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         On February 15, 2000 the Corporation and certain officers and
directors received subpoenas from the Securities and Exchange Commission,
requesting information concerning reporting of certain business transactions.
The Corporation and its officers and directors complied with this request. On
August 2, 2000, the Corporation received a letter from the Securities and
Exchange Commission notifying it that the investigation had been terminated
with no enforcement action recommended.

         On March 24, 2000, the corporation established a revolving credit
line in the amount of $5,000,000, due on maturity on March 30, 2001. Any
amount outstanding under this facility is collateralized by certain
securities available for sale and cash equivalents. Advances under this
facility will bear interest either at LIBOR plus 1/2%, or at the Prime Rate.
At June 30, 2000, no amounts had been drawn against this facility.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

REVENUES

         Our Revenues were $10,518,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
compared to $8,753,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This increase in
revenues of $1,765,000 was related to several factors: the operations of
Matrix, acquired in November 1999, accounted for $3,193,000 in revenues
during the current quarter; sales to auto dealers increased by $457,000 as
compared to the corresponding prior year quarter; revenues of $130,000 of
Physician Advantage, which we acquired in May 1999; a gain on our equity
interest in Touch Controls of $142,000, compared to a gain of $22,000 in the
quarter ended June 30, 1999. Offsetting these increases in revenues was a
decline in revenues from packaging customers of $649,000; losses from the
sale of securities available-for-sale of $24,000 compared to gains of
$589,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1999; unrealized losses from
partnerships that invest in securities of $110,000 compared to gains of
$377,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1999 and lower interest income on
loans of $183,000, compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year.
The quarter ended June 30, 1999 included $192,000 in settlement revenues with
no such revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

         Revenues of One Source were $2,766,000 during the quarter ended June
30, 2000, compared to $3,415,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This
decrease in revenues of $649,000 was attributable to the loss of two
customers contributing $497,000 in the quarter ending June 30, 1999 with the
balance comprising a decline in clamshell sales volume during the quarter
ended June 30, 2000.

         Revenues of Westland were $3,896,000 during the quarter ended June
30, 2000 compared to $3,439,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This
increase in revenues of $457,000 is due to increased sales volume
attributable to new and existing vendor relationships.

         Interest on loans was $177,000 during the quarter ended June 30,
2000 as compared to $360,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 1999, due to a
decrease in average loans outstanding.

                                     14

<PAGE>

Interest on securities available-for-sale and money market funds was $314,000
during the quarter ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $302,000 during the
quarter ended June 30, 1999.

         During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, we recorded a loss of
$24,000 on the sale of securities available-for-sale compared to gains of
$589,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 1999, and we recorded unrealized
losses on limited partnerships that invest in securities of $110,000 compared
to unrealized gains of $377,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 1999. These
limited partnerships invest in equity and debt securities and the Corporation
records gains and losses on these investments based upon the equity method of
accounting.

GROSS PROFIT

         The revenues of $3,896,000 generated by Westland Associates,
reported under the caption "Sales to auto dealers" in the consolidated
financial statements, were offset by direct costs of $3,678,000, included
under the caption "Cost of sales." As a result, Westland Associates generated
gross profit before operating expenses of $218,000, compared to $223,000 in
the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Gross profit was lower despite an increase
in sales revenues, and is due to a change in product mix weighted toward
lower margin products in the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

         The revenues of $2,766,000 generated by One Source, reported under
the caption "Sales to packaging customers" in the consolidated financial
statements, were offset by direct costs of $1,837,000, included under the
caption "Cost of sales." As a result, One Source generated gross profit
before operating expenses of $929,000, compared to $1,377,000 in the quarter
ended June 30, 1999. The gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased
from 40.3% to 33.6% over the corresponding period of the prior year due
mainly to higher material costs and the loss of a significant customer that
contributed a higher than average gross profit in the quarter ended June 30,
1999.

         The revenues of $3,193,000 generated by Matrix, reported under the
caption "Equipment rental and sales" in the consolidated financial
statements, were offset by direct costs of $1,649,000, included under the
caption "Cost of sales." As a result, Matrix generated gross profit before
operating expenses of $1,544,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

         The revenues of $130,000 generated by Physician Advantage and
included in other income in the consolidated financial statements represent
net revenues earned from third party distributors, and as such also represent
the gross profit of Physician Advantage for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

         General and administrative expenses increased by $1,101,000, from
$1,403,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 to $2,504,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000. This increase resulted in part from general and
administrative expenses of $497,000 and $334,000 attributable to Matrix and
Physician Advantage, respectively. Matrix was acquired on November 22, 1999,
and Physician Advantage was acquired on May 18, 1999. In the quarter ended
June 30, 1999, Physician Advantage had general and administrative expenses of
$100,000. General and administrative expenses for One Source were $959,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, compared to $541,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999. The increase in One Source's general and administrative
expenses is attributable to business expansion initiatives, including
compensation for additional staff, expenses attributable to a new sales
office and expenses incurred in connection with the relocation of the
corporate headquarters.

                                        15

The general and administrative expenses for the finance and secured lending
segment were $522,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to $465,000
in the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This increase relates mainly to increases
in business consulting expenses and legal expenses, and increases in employee
compensation. The increases in general and administrative expenses were
offset by a reduction in general and administrative expenses of $105,000
attributable to Westland Associates. Westland Associates general and
administrative expenses were $192,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000,
compared to $297,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, due to the savings
from the reorganization of staffing and the benefit of various other cost
saving initiatives.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

         Depreciation and amortization increased from $87,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999 to $499,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. The
increase is attributable to depreciation and amortization of $265,000 related
to the operations of Matrix, $79,000 relating to increased acquisition
goodwill amortization, with the balance consisting primarily of depreciation
and amortization on operating assets.

INCOME TAX

         An income tax provision of $87,000 was recorded for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000. This provision represents a combined federal and state
effective tax rate of 126%. For the quarter ended June 30, 1999 an income tax
provision of $783,000 was recorded, representing a 39.2% effective tax rate.
The current year quarter reflects a higher effective tax rate due to an
increase in permanent differences between book income and taxable income
resulting from non-deductible goodwill and non-deductible operating losses.

MINORITY INTERESTS

         The minority interests in net income decreased from $154,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 to $90,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000,
due primarily to lower net income from One Source attributable to the
minority shareholder.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

         On January 31, 2000 we sold Global Telecommunications - see below.
The loss from this discontinued operation for the quarter ended June 30, 1999
of $3,000 is net of income tax benefits of $1,000 and net of minority
interests of $2,000.

NET INCOME/(LOSS)

         During the quarter ended June 30, 2000 we incurred a net loss of
$108,000, as compared to net income of $1,058,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 1999. Basic and earnings/(loss) per share were $(0.01) in 2000 versus
$0.14 in 1999. Basic earnings/(loss) per share from continuing operations
were $(0.01) in 2000 versus $0.14 in 1999. Diluted earnings/(loss) per share
were $(0.01) in 2000 versus $0.13 in 1999.

          Weighted average basic shares outstanding were 8,125,000 in 2000
and 7,835,000 in 1999. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding were
8,132,000 in 2000 and 7,950,000 in 1999.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

REVENUES

         Our Revenues were $20,852,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to $15,517,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This increase
in revenues of $5,335,000 was related to several factors: the operations of
Matrix, acquired in November 1999, accounted for $5,468,000 in revenues
during the current year to date period; sales to auto dealers increased by
$687,000 as compared to the corresponding prior year period; revenues of
$205,000 of Physician Advantage, which we acquired in May 1999; a gain on our
equity interest in Touch Controls of $209,000, compared to a gain of $3,000
in the six months ended June 30, 1999; and increased revenues at One Source
over the corresponding prior year period. Offsetting these increases were
losses from the sale of securities available-for-sale of $27,000 compared to
gains of $767,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1999; unrealized gains
from partnerships that invest in securities were $136,000 compared to gains
of $588,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1999; and lower interest income
on loans of $261,000, compared to the corresponding six months of the prior
year. The six months ended June 30, 1999 included $192,000 in settlement
revenues with no such revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2000.

         Revenues of Westland were $7,808,000 during the six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to $7,121,000 during the six months ended June 30,
1999. This increase in revenues of $687,000 is due to increased sales volume
attributable to new and existing vendor relationships.

         Interest on loans was $360,000 during the six months ended June 30,
2000 as compared to $621,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1999, due
to a decrease in average loans outstanding. Interest on securities
available-for-sale and money market funds was $602,000 during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $598,000 during the quarter ended June 30,
1999.

         During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we recorded a loss of
$27,000 on the sale of securities available-for-sale compared to gains of
$767,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 1999 and we recorded unrealized
gains on limited partnerships that invest in securities of $136,000 compared
to unrealized gains of $588,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1999.
These limited partnerships invest in equity and debt securities and the
Corporation records gains and losses on these investments based upon the
equity method of accounting.

GROSS PROFIT

         The revenues of $7,808,000 generated by Westland Associates,
reported under the caption "Sales to auto dealers" in the consolidated
financial statements, were offset by direct costs of $7,362,000, included
under the caption "Cost of sales." As a result, Westland Associates generated
gross profit before operating expenses of $446,000, compared to $468,000 in
the six months ended June 30, 1999. Gross profit was lower despite an
increase in sales revenues, and is due to a change in product mix weighted
toward lower margin products in the six months ended June 30, 2000.

         The revenues of $5,573,000 generated by One Source, reported under
the caption "Sales to packaging customers" in the consolidated financial
statements, were offset by direct costs of

                                      17

<PAGE>

$3,497,000, included under the caption "Cost of sales." As a result, One
Source generated gross profit before operating expenses of $2,076,000,
compared to $2,061,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1999. The gross
profit remained relatively constant as a percentage of revenues, decreasing
slightly from 37.9% to 37.3% over the corresponding period of the prior year,
due mainly to higher material costs compared to the same period in the prior
year.

         The revenues of $5,468,000 generated by Matrix, reported under the
caption "Equipment rental and sales" in the consolidated financial
statements, were offset by direct costs of $2,864,000, included under the
caption "Cost of sales." As a result, Matrix generated gross profit before
operating expenses of $2,604,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

         The revenues of $205,000 generated by Physician Advantage and
included in other income in the consolidated financial statements represent
net revenues earned from third party distributors, and as such also represent
the gross profit of Physician Advantage for the six months ended June 30,
2000.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

         General and administrative expenses increased by $2,956,000, from
$2,562,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $5,518,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000. This increase resulted in part from general and
administrative expenses of $1,336,000 and $851,000 attributable to Matrix and
Physician Advantage, respectively. Matrix was acquired on November 22, 1999,
and Physician Advantage was acquired on May 18, 1999. In the six months ended
June 30, 1999, Physician Advantage had general and administrative expenses of
$100,000. General and administrative expenses for One Source were $1,723,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $949,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in One Source's general and
administrative expenses is attributable to business expansion initiatives,
including compensation for additional staff, expenses attributable to a new
sales office and expenses incurred in connection with the relocation of the
corporate headquarters. The general and administrative expenses for the
finance and secured lending segment were $1,143,000 in the six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to $908,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1999.
This increase relates mainly to increases in business consulting expenses and
legal expenses, and increases in employee compensation. The increases in
general and administrative expenses were offset by a reduction in general and
administrative expenses of $39,000 attributable to Westland Associates.
Westland Associates general and administrative expenses were $465,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $503,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, due to the benefit of various cost saving initiatives.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

         Depreciation and amortization increased from $175,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 to $937,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2000. The increase is attributable to depreciation and amortization of
$451,000 related to the operations of Matrix, $175,000 relating to increased
acquisition goodwill amortization, with the balance consisting primarily of
depreciation and amortization on operating assets.

INCOME TAX

         An income tax provision of $391,000 was recorded for the six months
ended June 30, 2000. This provision represents a combined federal and state
effective tax rate of 67.7%. For the six months

                                      18

<PAGE>

ended June 30, 1999 an income tax provision of $1,066,000 was recorded,
representing a 39.1% effective tax rate. The current year quarter reflects a
higher effective tax rate due to an increase in permanent differences between
book income and taxable income resulting from non-deductible goodwill and
non-deductible operating losses.

MINORITY INTERESTS

         The minority interests in net income decreased from $193,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 to $173,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2000. The net decrease is represented by lower net income attributable to the
minority shareholders of One Source of $162,000, offset by the share of net
income contributed by Matrix and attributable to the minority shareholder of
$142,000.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

         On January 31, 2000 we sold Global Telecommunications and recorded a
gain from this sale of $693,000, net of income taxes of $461,000. No income
or loss was recorded from this discontinued operation in the current year.

1999 of $8,000 is net of income tax benefits of $5,000 and net of minority
interests of $5,000.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LOANS RECEIVABLE AND PAST DUE LOANS

LOANS RECEIVABLE

         The Corporation's loans receivable were $5,744,000 at June 30, 2000
and December 31, 1999. No advances or principal repayments occurred during
the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

         The Corporation originates and, from time to time, purchases loans
that are secured by real estate, personal property or other collateral. In
connection with each loan proposal, the Corporation considers the value and
quality of the real estate or other collateral available to secure the loan
compared to the loan amount requested, the proposed interest rate and
repayment terms and the quality of the borrower. Loan originations occur as
opportunities arise which management believes to be attractive. As a result,
the volume of loans originated may vary from quarter to quarter, and new loan
originations may not occur in every quarter.

PAST DUE LOANS

         At June 30, 2000, a loan secured by a mortgage of $1,025,000, net of
discount of $25,000 was in default. The loan was originated in 1996 and was
originally due in 1998. Management believes that the real estate collateral
for this loan will be sufficient to cover the principal and interest owing.

LIQUIDITY

         The Corporation's cash and cash equivalents increased by $4,847,000
during the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase in cash and cash
equivalents was due mainly to a repositioning of the investment portfolio
because of the inverted yield curve that existed toward the end of June 2000.
As such, the Corporation held investments in commercial paper (a cash
equivalent) in the amount of $5,202,000 at June 30, 2000. The Corporation's
sources of cash during the quarter were $27,827,000 from the sale of
investment securities, $2,177,000 in debt financings from banking sources,
$957,000 from the sale of discontinued operations, $750,000 from liquidation
of an investment, $570,000 in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and
$125,000 from the liquidation of a partnership interest. The Corporation's
uses of cash during the quarter included $22,388,000 for the purchase of
securities available for sale, $1,749,000 in seller financing repayments,
$1,439,000 for purchases of property and equipment, $1,289,000 for cash used
in operating activities and $694,000 in other debt repayments. The
Corporation held U.S. government and agency securities with a fair value of $
16,294,000 at June 30, 2000.

         The Corporation intends to pursue the acquisition of one hundred
percent or substantial interests in additional operating businesses. However,
no assurances can be given that the Corporation will be able to identify
attractive opportunities, or if it does, that it will be able to complete
acquisitions on acceptable terms. As the Corporation acquires interests in
other operating businesses, it intends to liquidate securities
available-for-sale as may be necessary to consummate acquisitions.

         In the opinion of management, the Corporation has sufficient cash
and liquid assets to fund its growth and operating plans for the foreseeable
future.

                                      20

MARKET RISK

         The Corporation is exposed to certain market risks, which are
inherent in the Corporation's financial instruments and arise from
transactions entered into in the normal course of business. The Corporation
has not entered into and does not enter into derivative financial instruments
for speculative purposes. A discussion of the Corporation's primary market
risk disclosure in financial instruments is presented below and should be
read in conjunction with the forward-looking statement included herein.

         The Corporation is subject to interest rate risk on its marketable
securities portfolio and loans receivable. The marketable securities
portfolio matures in less than two years. The loan receivable portfolio
comprises both variable and fixed rate loans, with all fixed rate loans being
of a short-term nature. The Corporation is subject to equity price risk on
its investments in limited partnerships that invest in securities. At June
30, 2000, these investments represent less than 5% of total assets.
